JANE
Frantic knocks on the door woke me up with a jolt and I peered at the clock with one eye open.
Nine thirty.
Clenching my eyes shut, I stretched my arms and legs on the bed. But another loud knock forced me to open my eyes.
Shit!
I sat up with a jolt when I remembered Dominic had asked me to get ready by ten.
There were more knocks and I had to climb out of the bed quickly before rushing to the door.
Opening the door, I found a maid outside.
"Ma'am. Breakfast is ready."
"Yeah. Sorry. I just woke up. Give me ten minutes, I'll be there," I said as a long yawn escaped my mouth.
With a small bow of her head, she left and I quickly went to the bathroom.
I couldn't sleep almost the whole night after Dominic left like that. I kept tossing and turning, straining my ears to listen to any faint noise from his room that would indicate he was home.
