“Really?” An obvious glimmer of hope returned to her eyes.


    Domenic pressed his thin lips tightly together and nodded with hints of hesitation.


    “Promise me.


    State everything clearly,” Carole demanded relentlessly.


    With a deep breath, Domenic focused his dark eyes into hers, carefully enunciating each word, “I promise to stay by your side tonight… And that I would never marry Lindsey.


    Is that enough?”


    “You never fulfilled your previous promises.


    Why should I believe you now?” Carole locked eyes with Domenic.Têxt ? N?velDrama.Org.


    “What do you want me to do then?” Domenic asked in a cold tone.


    “I demand a written agreement, with your signature and thumbprint on it,” Carole firmly stated.


    Domenic’s face became even darker in displeasure.


    After gazing at the night sky and then at the sea for a moment, he turned to a bodyguard and gave him a signal.


    The bodyguard immediately understood his silentmand and quickly went to fetch a pen and paper which he promptly handed to Domenic.


    Putting the paper on the table in the balcony, Domenic wrote a few lines, signed his name, and put his thumbprint on it.


    Then he tossed the paper at Carole and said in an icy tone, “Is that enough?”

    Library


    Carole didn’t answer.


    Instead, she carefully read what he had written.


    Then her lips curled into a slow, satisfied smile.


    Now, she feltpletely assured.


    Holding the paper as if it was a treasure, she climbed back over the railing and onto the deck.


    She said with a smirk, “You can’t go back on it.


    Now, tell them to leave.


    ”


    She was referring to his bodyguards who were standing right behind him.


    Domenic nodded to them, and they all quietly left the room, closing the door behind them.


    Now, it was just the two of them alone in the room.


    Carole felt a surge of triumph in her heart.


    It seemed he couldn’t bear to see her die after all.


    This signed agreement had finally resolved her biggest concern.


    As long as Domenic didn’t get married to Lindsey, she still had a chance and all the time in the world to win him over.


    Right now, Carole was in a jubnt mood.


    Walking into the living room, she grabbed a bottle of red wine from the cab, poured two sses, and brought them out to Domenic, who continued to keep his distance.


    “Domenic, would you like to have a drink with me?” she asked, her voice soft and inviting.


    Domenic walked over, took one of the sses and poured its contents into the trash.


    “I only agreed to stay here.


    I won’t do anything more than that,” he said in a cold tone.


    Carole knew he had been forced to sign that agreement.


    It was not something he had been willing to do at all.
