Frosted Love

Chapter 17

Mackenzie

When I took Travis' hand I knew I was in for trouble. He twirled me and spun me out then back towards him. I smiled warily and he smiled with all his pearly white teeth showing. Something was definitely off especially after him and Dominic had a short staring game to see who had more dominance.

"So why did you ask me to dance?" I questioned "I just wanted a chance to dance with a pretty girl" I nodded not believing him.

"Yeah let's say I believe that,  once this dance is over will it be the last time I see you?" He laughed making it look like we were having a pleasant conversation I smiled.

I could feel Dominic's eyes on us the whole time before I took Travis' hand I noticed how tense he got when he had arrived.

"Yes it will be if you resign as CFO from Frost enterprise immediately" I now laughed I wasn't going to be intimidated by a man like him.

"And if I don't?" I asked he twirled me "that sweet Andy won't have a bar anymore" I clenched my jaw immediately not liking that answer.

"That's a bit much now isn't it?" He shook his head at this point hiding my emotions were harder to do as I thought about Andy and Savannah. They didn't have anything but each other, the bar, me and my dad.

"That's just the tip of the iceberg sweetheart let's face it you don't belong in our circle. You weren't born in a wealthy family you should be working as a manager of an Aeropostale or something like that" the insult was enough to make me punch him straight in the face and twist him into a pretzel but I refrained myself.

I placed my leg behind his own leg making him fall on his ass immediately. I smiled inside but a frown was in place for everyone around us "are you okay Mr. Edge?" I asked fake sincerity laced my voice and he smiled and nodded.

"I'm fine just an old man not being able to keep up is all" he said loud enough for people to hear around us. When I helped him up my grip tightened around his hand and he looked at me "don't ever think to threaten me ever again do you understand me?" He smiled.

"I'll give you two weeks to resign Ms. Jones" with that I walked to my table agitated to say the least. I sat down only to see Dominic look at me and his eyes directed over to staircases. I looked around making sure Travis wasn't watching. He seemed to be enjoying himself with other businessmen.

I got up and started to walk towards the staircases Dominic had disappeared from. As I made my way up there was a room with the door ajar I made my way to it when a hand was placed over my mouth and I was dragged to another room that was pitch black.

My instincts kicked in I elbowed the man in the ribs making him groan and giving me enough time to headbutt him with the back of my head. In a whisper yell I heard Dominics voice "damnit Mackenzie it's me" I turned it was still pitch black in the room but I grabbed his face and I exhaled.

When I started to calm down I slapped his arm "ow what the hell" he said grabbing my hands "why would you do that? First beckoning for me to come over here only to make it seem like you were going to kidnap me how else would I react?" I now whisper yelled.

"Wait why are we whispering?" I asked

"The room you were about to enter Julian Mayan is in there" I frowned "why would he be at your engagement party you both are known rivals".

"My thoughts exactly" he said as he tried to get closer to the door but squished me against the door more. This room we were in was seeming to be smaller and smaller by the minute it had to be a supply closet of some sort. "Um Dom can you move back a bit?" I asked feeling his body pressed against mine.

"I can't really there's brooms and mops behind me" he said as a matter of fact. I tried to ignore the situation and tried to listen to anything besides my heart beating erotically.

"Travis where are you?" We heard a deep voice that had a slight accent it had to be Julian if he was in that room.

"Did you tell the girl what you wanted to say?" I grabbed Dominic's hand and pulled his head near me and whispered in his ear "he's on the phone" he nodded and we continued listening.

"I don't care just make sure your daughter does marry Dominic I'll deal with the rest after understand?" He said with an a stern voice.

"Good now have Patrick make Nathan leave his post so I can leave now that I've done and seen what I needed" I immediately felt stupid for even accepting a dance from Patrick.

Dominic grabbed my hand as if knowing what I was thinking "you didn't know" he said when we heard Julian walk away we stepped out of the closet and Dominic went straight for the room Julian was in.

He texted someone on his phone "what's going on?" Dominic looked at me and was silent and had the most angry look on his face "go enjoy the rest of the ball with Julie I'll take care of this" he said.

"No you aren't doing this again what is going on why is Travis threatening me?" I asked letting it slip out.

Dominic walked closer to me "he threatened you?" He asked he was now seething I shouldn't have said anything.

"Mackenzie what did he tell you?" I shook my head "he said I need to resign as CFO immediately" leaving out the fact that he said he'd burn down the bar. Dominic then proceeded to punch a gorgeous mirror shattering it into pieces his hand was now bleeding. He wasn't even affected he looked like a man that could kill someone right about now.

In walked in the man that stood behind Dominic when he was at his table "Aaron take Ms. Jones back to her table and come right back here" he nodded his head.

"No I'm not going anywhere until you tell me what's going on" Dominic looked frustrated.

"CAN YOU LISTEN FOR ONCE IN YOUR LIFE AND GO!" Dominic yelled and I was taken aback. No one had spoken to me like this before and before I could respond Aaron turned me around and shoved me out the door closing it behind him.

I didn't protest "you don't need to walk me to my table I'm capable of doing so myself" I sped walked to my table this night wasn't what I expected and I was more than ready to leave.

"Hey are you okay I haven't seen you since that dance with Mr. Edge" Julie said I just smiled "I need a stiff drink" she smiled and handed me a shot.

I chose to forget about Dominic Frost and drown my sorrows.
