A Divorce He Regrets (Alissa Nexus) novel Chapter 236

DOMINIC

I was livid. I did everything to cocktail the anger growing like weed in my body to no avail. They had to pay! Was was so appaling about a woman being CEO?! The paper crunched in my fists as I paced around the hallway. Raina was capable and if they were so insistent on a man being so closer to the peak, I was her fuckign COO, and I could even attest to her competence, sentiments aside. I mean the women left her hospital bed, just to make it to a stupid meeting with wolves on the hunt for blood, her blood.

I tried to wrap my head around it, but no matter how I spinned the narrative, it made no fucking sense. The pressure was unnecessary to put things lightly, absolutely useless and uncalled for. And her gender was never a problem until Jonah showed up. But it couldn't possibly be because of him, could it? It wouldn't even be right, professionally or family wise. Raina had poured her sweat into the company regardless of her gender, and she was the one who had to endure years of jumping from one orphanage to the other while I lived the lavish life she fell asleep to every night.

No. Jonah couldn't be the spark to this fire. Grandfather's will had been explicitly clear, even the uneducated could understand it with ease.

Alex barely paid any attention to me, his eyes fixed on the door that separated him from Raina who was being fuzzed over on the other side of the door.

Despite the ache blooming in my head and the urge for retribution coursing through my veins, "She'd be fine." I squeezed his shoulder for comfort. Poor guy looked like the life force had been sucked out him.

He didn't respond. I almost gave up on him responding when he finally sighed. "What the hell happened in that meeting? Why had Raina gotten so worked up?" The barrage of questions flowed easily, each one following soon after the first without giving me any time to actually respond.
