The dark sea loomed ominously behind her, promising a cold, watery embrace with any misstep.
With a wildugh, Carole saw the concern in Domenic’s eyes and seized it.
“I want you to spend tonight with me.
I want you to keep your promise.
I want you, Domenic, to swear you’ll never marry Lindsey.
If you refuse, I’ll jump!”
Slowly, she released one hand from the railing.
Domenic’s brows furrowed deeply, his face looking very grim as he stared at Carole.
Swallowing hard, his hands clenched into firsts, not knowing what he should do next.
His mom had always taught him to repay the kindness shown to him, and to always keep his promises.
Hence, he saw to it that he adhered to this principle.
After escaping from that asylum and establishing the Vitality Group, he made sure to track down the man who had helped him escape.
Eventually, he found out that the man turned out to be the notorious leader of a mafia in Morcastle, who was betrayed by his own buddies and thrown into that infamous asylum.
This man had a long list of crimesmitted, and the number of deaths attributed to him was endless.
However, because of their deal, Domenic still helped him turn a new leaf without questioning his dark past.
He shut down that asylum, erasing it from existence, and satisfying his own thirst for revenge.
In the end, the man chose to stay by Domenic’s side, vowing to be a deadly weapon in his arsenal that he could call at any time.
Sure enough, he had handled numerous troublesome matters for Domenic.
Throughout the years, because of Domenic’s unwavering adherence to his principles, he had obtained several loyal followers that would readily risk their lives for him.
Likewise, Carole had saved his life once.
If it wasn’t for her, he would have perished in that cold, damp cer.
Of course, he didn’t forget to offer his gratitude.
However, her demands were just too excessive to grant.
Nheless, he couldn’t let her die just Like that.

He just knew that if he drove his own savior to death, his mother in heaven would look down at him with disdain, and if they ever met in the afterlife, she wouldn’t stop ming her.
Moreover, this incident was happening on his own cruise ship.
If Carole was to die here, it would inevitably give a bad look to his entire family.Published by N?v''elD/rama.Org.
The business world was like a huge battlefield.
He couldn’t trust just anyone, and though people would seem friendly on the surface, they would seize any opportunity to climb thedder and trample him under their feet.
His grandfather, who was fond of Carole, would especially be devastated when such a thing happened.
Domenic’s mind was a turmoil of conflicting thoughts right now.
At this time, Carole issued an ultimatum.
“Domenic, I’ll ask you onest time, do you agree or not?”
It seemed that she had finally abandoned all reason and logic, fixated on only one thought.
At this point, she would not let Domenic off easily, even if the price to pay was her own life.
Seeing how Domenic didn’t respond for quite a while, her despair deepened all the more.
Sheughed bitterly, a chilling sound in this dark night.
“What? You think I’m bluffing? Have you forgotten? I have no family to go back to, or anything that ties me to this world.
It was just you and your grandpa who kept me going.
But now, you, the man I’ve loved for years had be nothing but an ungrateful scoundrel.
Ha! I was a fool for even thinking that you are different from everyone else.
I have nothing left to live for! Tell me, why would I even prolong my suffering?”
Right after speaking, she started loosening her grip on the railing little by little, her body tilting backward.
“Stop!” Domenic shouted with a sense of urgency.
“I agree!”
The next moment, Carole grabbed the railing tightly with both hands as her eyes widened in anticipation.
