A Call From Ten Years Later Chapter 8
Third Person’s POVDominic stared at her in disbelief.This dock had once been Noelle's territory, a place she'd poured her heart and soul into defending.The first time she'd claimed it, she'd been too excited to sleep, dragging him out onto the deck to watch the sunset.He'd wrapped his arms around her from behind, and she'd leaned into him, laughing, saying she wanted to hold this place with him forever.Yet now she could say "tear it all down" with such perfect calm.As if all those years of standing side by side had sunk into the sea along with the setting sun.Dominic lost control completely. In front of everyone, he seized Noelle's wrist.A heartbeat later, every gun on the deck swung toward him.Dominic froze.Noelle glanced down at the guns, and her lips twitched upward."What's the matter? Not used to it?"I got used to it a long time ago."She couldn't be bothered to argue any further. She simply withdrew her hand."Since the Don has made his choice, there's nothing left to
A Call From Ten Years Later Chapter 7
Third Person’s POVLate at night, Dominic sat at his desk, staring at the photos his secretary had delivered.In one, Noelle was leaning back in a gentleman's arms, lost in the rapture of the dance.His fingers clenched around the edge of the photo, nearly crushing it.After a long moment, his grip eased, just slightly.He looked at Noelle's face again. That smile catapulted him back seven years.Back then, Noelle had been vivid and willful. The moment she stepped onto a dance floor, every eye in the room chased her.Dominic had assumed he could never fall for someone like that.Until she burrowed into his arms and teased him, and for the first time, he felt the hollow place inside him being filled.As a Don, he'd even started fearing death, afraid he'd never see her again.He had loved her so much.A heaviness settled over Dominic's chest.Just then, one of his men hurried in."Don, Miss Blake is banging her head against the wall in the cellar again. She says she's going to kill herse

Dominic stood frozen.I turned to look at the calm ocean. Inside, I felt nothing."I wanted to set you free, and I wanted to set myself free."Dominic still didn't speak.My back was to him, so I couldn't see his face.I only noticed his breathing growing heavier, as if he were fighting to hold something back."Well, I've given you your answer. Unless there's something else, don't show up in front of me again.""Do you really hate me that much?"Dominic grabbed my hand again."Is that why you've been refusing to see me? Why every message I send goes unanswered?"I couldn't help but laugh."Don, I think you've got it backwards."The one who asked for a divorce eighteen times was you, not me."I looked at him, the amusement in my eyes cooling by degrees."If there's anyone in this world who hates me the most, it's you."Stop wasting your time on me. Go back to Serena. She needs you more than I do.""I've told you, she's nothing to me but Lucas's sister!"Dominic finally snapped."If you
A Call From Ten Years Later Chapter 5
After leaving Dominic, I went back to my own Family's estate, a place I hadn't visited in a long time.Over the years, he'd always worried I'd leverage my family's power against Serena, so he'd done everything to limit my contact with them.My father had urged me to leave, but back then I was trapped in the bitterness of betrayal and refused to turn back.When the car stopped at the gates, I still felt a knot of unease.But the doors opened, and the rows of people on either side still bowed respectfully."Welcome home, Miss Noelle."My father sat in the main hall, his face stern as he studied me for a long time.It wasn't until his eyes fell on the marks on my wrist that a flicker of pain crossed his gaze."Is this what you fought so hard to hold on to?"I kept my head down and said nothing.He was quiet for a moment, then snapped at the staff, "What are you standing around for? Get the best doctor, now!"Then he let out a bitter laugh, something cold and murderous flashing in his eyes

I stared at him blankly."What, playing innocent again?""Every guard watching Serena was drugged last night, with the same sleeping pills you've been taking.""The back-door camera caught it clear as day. Your guards were the ones who wheeled her out of the estate."Dominic gripped my hand so tightly it ached."Noelle, how are you going to talk your way out of this one?!"I looked into his blazing eyes, but all I could hear was the gentle voice of the woman from my dream.My throat clenched.I blinked back the tears and said quietly, "You're right."I did it."Dominic's entire body went rigid. Disbelief flooded his face, and his grip on my collar loosened.I peeled his fingers away one by one and spoke, word by careful word."And that's not all. The phone call from ten years in the future? I hired someone with a voice changer to make it.""What did you just say?!"I ignored his shock, my voice still steady."I couldn't give up the title of Donna, and I couldn't let go of my power."So
A Call From Ten Years Later Chapter 3
I walked down the street in a daze.It wasn't until someone gasped at the sight of my arm that I looked down.Blood had soaked through my sleeve and was dripping from my fingertips.I called the butler and asked him to have a private doctor waiting at the estate.There was a brief silence on the other end."Donna, all the private doctors have been reassigned by the Don to attend to Miss Blake."I paused, hung up, and ducked into a random pharmacy.I fumbled with the bandages, my fingers shaking from the pain.Growing up, I'd almost never been hurt.The first time Dominic saw me at a banquet, I was still my father's little princess, shielded from everything.On our wedding day, he promised my father that he'd make me happy forever, that I'd be a sun that never set.But later, he was the one who pulled me back down from that sky.I stared at the thick, clumsy bandages on my arm and laughed bitterly at myself.Then my phone buzzed.Dominic had sent a message, calling an emergency Family c
