Chapter 12: One more —just one more

Inez shuddered in fear when she heard him shout at her. She knew that Dominic was out of his fucking mind, but she never thought that he also had these maniacal episodes. She had no idea what had triggered this response from him but she was not going to linger behind and ask him.

She scrambled to her feet and rushed out of the office, and once she was in the privacy of her cubicle, she took a deep breath and tried to shake off the jitters.

Inez wasn’t amused by Dominic’s actions nor was she proud of the fact that even after suffering such humiliation, she had to stay in this place and work as if everything was alright.

’One more day, just one more day,’ Inez told herself and calmed herself down.

She breathed out and pulled the drawer of her table open, ignoring the resignation letter in the drawer that was lying inside the drawer, she took out the small box of balm that was pushed to the very end of the drawer before closing it shut.

It wasn’t that she hadn’t thought about handing the letter to Dominic. But her haywire emotions that were scattered all over the place because of the sudden change made it difficult and the remaining difficulty arose from the contract that she had signed.

Inez didn’t want to be locked up in prison for violating the shifter contract; thus, she had no choice but to abide by the clauses. If she resigned before the term was over, Inez knew that Dominic would not think twice before sending her to the Shifter Council.

With his contacts, she might as well forget about coming out for the rest of her life.

What was more, even though she had never been to that place before, she knew that the prison of the shifter council was not a place where she would want to ever go. She had heard rumours about that place and knew very well that once a shifter went inside that prison, they would never be the same.

That place left a mark so deep within a shifter that the trauma was imprinted on the soul of the very shifter.

These past three years, she had hoped that one day she would be able to move Dominic and her friends with her determination but even Inez had to admit that she was kidding herself at this point. Dominic hated her and with how things were going, that man would probably resent and despise her for all his life.

It was a harsh reality but it was a reality that she would just have to live with.

Inez sighed and packed up her things. Since she had to go to this meeting, she needed to rearrange the meeting that she had with Mister Patrick.

And boy, she was not looking forward to it.

"I think it will be perfect, Mister Patrick," Inez replied with a half-hearted smile. This was the eighth time Patrick had changed his mind, causing Inez to redo the entire plan. Sometimes she wondered if this man just didn’t want her work to end like Dominic.
