“Thanks.” I settle on the couch, and Livia sits in the chair.
“What are you going to do?”
“I don’t know, Liv. There is already enough I need to process, now I have this.”
“Is he into something dangerous?”
I let out a soft giggle because it’s funny but not funny. “His family is. And you already know about mine, it’s no secret. I found out both our families are rivals. Well, his step dad and my dad. And the first time meeting his dad, I had to dig a bullet out of him.”
“Oh my god, Gen!”
“Exactly. I had no idea what I walking into. I could have been killed. But supposedly, he didn’t know. Which is why I changed my last name.”
She stands and comes over to me to hug me. “I’m here if you need anything. Whatever you do, be careful, okay?”
“I will.”
“Are you going to be okay? Do you need anything?”
I shake my head.
“Goodnight.”
“Night.”
Now I’m more confused than ever, and the thought of sleep, it doesn’t seem like I will be falling asleep anytime soon. I call an Uber.
In my bedroom, I shed my robe and rifle through my closet. Finding something clean, I pull on a pair of skinny jeans, and form fitted crop sweater.
I send a text to Livia, letting her know I was heading out for the night. My phone vibrates and lets me know the Uber arrived.
Checking the details of the vehicle, I grab my purse and keys. Before pulling the door to go outside, I inhale a deep breath and push on the door open.
And next think I know, the Uber is pulling into Dom’s driveway.
“Thank you,” I tell the driver. He pulls away, and I ring the doorbell. I don’t know what I think I will accomplish coming here, but it’s too late to think about that now.
I see a light flick on, and the door opens.
“Geneva?” Dominick says.
I lift my head to face him.
“Jesus Christ, what the hell happened?” With a softness in his voice, he pulls me inside.
“I’m sorry it’s so late.”
“Don’t worry about it. Come in.”
I follow him to his living room, and he heads to the bar to make us both a drink. I’m going to need it. I sit on the couch.
He walks back over and says, “Tell me what happened,” as he passes me a drink and sits down.
“An Uber dropped me off at my apartment after my dad’s birthday. And three, maybe four guys grabbed a hold of me.”
“What the fuck?”
Leaning forward, he pushes my hair behind my shoulders so he can get a better look at my eye. “Did they say who they were?”
