Chapter 518
Heartbreak Brings Mr. Right
With her work done for the day, Lindsey boarded the bus home, fatigue coaxing her into slumber.
Awakening, she realized sheâd missed her stop.
The sole companion on the bus was a man cloaked in black, mirroring her exit.
It was hard for her not to notice him, after all, as the bus had only the two of them.
As Lindsey walked, so did the man, maintaining a certain distance between them, instigating a surge of anxiety in her.
Memories of Chayceâs abduction surged, and Lindsey hastened her pace, sprinting before the man could react.
Lindsey called Domenic while she was running, and he promptly picked up.
She gasped for air and said, âIâm being followed!â
Domenicâs voice grew grave, âFind a crowded spot and send me the location.
Iâm on my way!â
Seeking refuge amidst the bustling streets, Lindsey sent her location pin to Domenic.
Scanning her surroundings, the man in black was nowhere to be seen.
Stationary and wary, she waited.
Twenty minutes lapsed before a cab pulled over.
Lowering the window, Domenicâs low voice came.
âHop in.
â
Lindsey swung the door open and got into the car, which sped off instantly.
She melted into Domenicâs embrace, clasping his waist tightly.
âAre you not wary of prying eyes this time?â Domenic gazed down at her, a faint grin on his Lips.
Lindsey clutched him tighter, snuggling against his chest Like a kitten.
Seated in the taxi with Domenic, she was clearly aware that the driver peered through the rearview mirror, seeing her unyielding grip on the man.
In times past, she could have been shy and demure in the presence of others.
However, what happened just now left her with lingering anxiety.
Her concern for social propriety dissipated as she sought solace in the secure embrace of Domenicâs arms.
âIâve missed you terribly.
â
Her voice, soft and fragrant, echoed gently.
Nestled against his chest, she exuded an air of sweetness and compliance.
Domenicâs throat bobbed faintly.
âLetâs get off here.
â
âWhat?â
Before Lindsey could figure out his intent, Domenic told the driver to stop and swiftly got her out of the vehicle.
