Crushed Affections (Dominic and Bella)
Chapter 61

Chapter 61 Time to Pace Reality

After leaving the crowded reception room, Bella arrived in the courtyard, where a large swimming pool shimmered with a vibrant blue.

She crouched down to play with the water and realized it was pleasantly warm. She couldn't help but think that the Sawyers sure knew how to live the good life.

All of a sudden, she heard footsteps approaching from behind Afraid of being seen in such an undignified manner, she hastily stood up and turned around

When she noticed it was relix, her eyes darted around nervously. "What are you doing here?"

Felix was dressed in a bespoke suit, his wine glass held steady as the crimson liquid swirled within

He didn't ask about her recent disappearance. However, when he noticed the suit jacket she was wearing, he plastered a smile on his face, concealing the emotion that flickered "I'm here for the same reason as you," he answered.

Bella fell silent for a moment. She delt like she needed to explain what had happened, but before she could speak up, he said, "You don't have to say anything. I understand. I just want to know if you really want to go back to him."

She frowned as she didn't want to drag him into the mess between her and Dominie. "I'm sorry, Felix, but I can't give you an answer. Lad's just pretend I was being childish and dragged you and Lia into my mess."

He turned to face the pool and let out a soft sigh. "But you know I've bom serious about this from the very beginning..."

The sadness in his eyes made her heart ache. "I'm sorry......"

At that moment, she couldn't think of anything else to say except that she had be the one who wanted to be in a relationship in the first place, yet she was also the one who walked away without any explanation.

He turned to look at her with a warm smile. "It's okay, I just think of it as another rejection. This isn't the first time, anyway. From the moment Dominic answered your call, i knew it was time for me in lace reality." Bella suddenly felt like she was such a terrible person. She realized her desire for low had been a fundamental mistake.

Dominic was right; she wasn't worthy of a normal relationship with her head bowed, she asked softly, "What did he say over the phone

Felix shrugged "Not much. He just said you were doing well and that you couldn't contact me for a while, that's all

She eyed him suspiciously Yet, since he didn't seem to be lying, she couldn't help but wonder if Dominke was truly that affable.

Asif he could read her mind, he assured her, "it's true. That's all he said. I need to take care of something I'll be right back"

As she watched him walk away, Bella was filled with regret. She wanted to slap herself silly. Felix was the last person she wanted to let down. He was the ideal boyfriend, and she was simply not good enough for him. "I told you not to get your hopes up bet you must be feeling pretty upset now that you've encountered someone you like but can't get."

Right then, a voice dripping with sarcasm and malice came from behind Bellacould tell without turning that it was Dominic.

However, she wasn't upset, she just couldn't believe how unreasonable he was. She used to think he was perfect, but now she could see him for who he really was. Did that mean she was finally coming to her senses? Bella didn't respond, and he didn't seem the least bit bothered. He walked over and stood beside her, both of them staring at the pool "You're coming inside with me. Don't even think about staying here on your DNI. "I'm already doing you a favor by coming here with you. What more do you want?" she expressed her frustration.

Dominic abruptly mached out, wrapped his large hand around her slender neck, and emptied the contents of his wine glass into her mouth.

Then, he leaned in and whispered into her ear, "I just don't want other to think that I can't even keep a woman under control. You came here with me, so why are you sneaking off to meet other men?"!!
