Elta's POV

Elta's POV

"Elta, please, let's do as your dad says, alright?" my mom pleaded. For a second, I glanced at her before nodding my head. If I didn't back down, I wouldn't be able to go out, and that meant I wouldn't be able to meet Dominick.

"I'm sorry, Dad. I just really wanted to go shopping with Mom, but I guess I'll just go alone."

"I'm so sorry, princess, but your mom and I have some business to discuss, alright?" He smiled at me.

I nodded before motioning to the driver. "Let's go. I'll see you, Mom. I'll be back before you know it." I communicated with my eyes, urging her to hang in there.

I quickly made my way to the car and got inside. The driver drove us out of the compound and headed to the mall.

"Take me to Don Phoenix's mansion," I ordered him.

"But I thought you wanted to go shopping?"

"I want to say hi to my brother. Is that a problem?"

"No, miss, I'm sorry for intruding."
