Chapter 10 - The New Queen of the Estate
Dominic opened his eyes, looking directly at the young maid with a rare, genuine warmth breaking through his hardened, tattooed features.
"You are no longer a maid in this house," Dominic vowed smoothly, his deep voice carrying unquestionable authority. "You don't polish glasses, and you don't serve the guests."
Elena gasped softly, her hands trembling as she set the polishing cloth down.
"As of this exact second, you are the Head of Estate Security and Intelligence," Dominic declared. "Your salary is quintupled. You answer to absolutely no one but me. I need people I can trust, Elena, and you have proven that your loyalty is impossible to buy."
Tears of pure, overwhelming joy filled Elena’s eyes. She had spent years working grueling hours to support her family, and in a single night, her entire universe had been forever changed by speaking the truth.
"Thank you, Mr. Dominic," Elena whispered, bowing her head respectfully. "I won't let you down."
"I know you won't," Dominic smiled.
