LOGIN"You drive, you drive," Isabella said with a laugh.Dominic snorted in irritation.He started the car and soon merged onto the highway. Soft music filled the cabin."Lily fell asleep. Turn the volume down a little," Katherine said as she held the girl."Okay." Isabella reached out and lowered the volume. "Honey, if you get tired, let me drive."Dominic shook his head. "I'm not."With his current physical condition, 435 miles felt effortless.…Before long they reached a service area.Dominic said, "I'm going to the restroom. Do you want anything to eat?"Isabella and Katherine both shook their heads. They had eaten breakfast earlier and were not hungry.Dominic nodded. As he stepped out of the car, he glanced around casually, and his expression stiffened.Along the highway, a woman about 25 years old walked down the emergency lane with her head lowered.Cars occasionally roared past beside her, yet she did not seem to notice.Dominic felt a sudden stir in his chest and jo
Dominic's mind held few thoughts. He went to the bathroom to brush his teeth and wash his face, then headed to the kitchen to make breakfast.They finished eating quickly, and Isabella hurried everyone to leave.Dominic had just placed the plates and cutlery in the sink when she dragged him outside.Dominic and Lilith didn't have much luggage. One suitcase was enough.As for the sisters' belongings, everything remained at Riverside Residence. They went downstairs, got into the old car, and drove straight there.After they arrived, Dominic told the two of them to go upstairs and pack. While they were gone, he stood beside the car and lit a cigarette.Before long, Katherine came downstairs first.Dominic took her suitcase and placed it in the trunk.When she didn't get into the car, something stirred in his chest. He quietly stepped closer to her.Katherine wore a white short jacket over a red sweater, paired with a black skirt, stockings, and long boots. The outfit gave her the
Dominic stood outside, momentarily stunned. 'Wait. That's it?'The faint fragrance from her lips still lingered. The thought amused him, yet he could not help muttering, "Are you teasing a kid?"He stared at the tightly shut door. His heart still tingled with restless anticipation, but he knew the good opportunity tonight had likely slipped away.With a regretful shake of his head, he turned to leave.The door to the neighboring room opened.Wearing a silk nightgown, Isabella stepped out and called in surprise, "Honey?"Dominic jerked in shock and stumbled, nearly losing his balance.Isabella looked at him in confusion. "Honey, what are you doing?"His heart pounded, but his face remained calm. "I came out to drink some water. You're not asleep yet?""I heard some noise earlier, so I came out to check. You…" Isabella's gaze drifted toward her sister's room, her expression tinged with puzzlement.Dominic felt an inexplicable surge of nervousness, though none of it showed on hi
On the other side, Elijah learned that most of the people he had arranged, including Vinny, had been sent to the hospital, while the rest had been taken to the city bureau.Shock and fury surged through him. He couldn't understand it. The plan had been flawless: capture Dominic and bring him over. So how had such a massive mistake occurred?To ensure that nothing went wrong, he had even sent Vinny.Gritting his teeth, Elijah immediately made several phone calls. He activated his connections and bailed out several key people.When he finished, his eyes turned dark and cold. "Dominic, I guess you got lucky this time."He knew the line had already been crossed. Now he couldn't stop. He would have to use even more of his connections to eliminate the trouble named Dominic once and for all....Dominic had just returned home when Isabella hurried forward to meet him.She looked worried. Without saying a word, she carefully examined every part of his body. Only after confirming that h
A group of officers rushed over with serious expressions. When they saw so many people lying on the ground, they froze in shock.A female officer crouched down to check the injured and asked, "Ambulance. Has anyone called an ambulance?"Dominic said, "I already called 911 earlier."The female officer looked at him intently. "What exactly happened here?"At that moment, another officer approached. "You can question the others.""Alright," the female officer said immediately.After she stepped aside, Ezra smacked his lips and said, "Dominic, what exactly happened here?"Dominic briefly explained the situation.Ezra stared at him in disbelief. "You're saying the three of you took down twenty people?"Dominic patted Max's arm and smiled. "I've got a bodyguard."Max stood beside him like a wall. At well over 6'5", and now fully recovered after weeks of proper food and care, his massive frame made him look like a human barrier.Ezra glanced at him and immediately understood. "I'll
"Ahhhh!" The intense pain made Vinny scream.Dominic released his hand.Vinny staggered backward, clutching his right hand in disbelief. Pain twisted his face.Dominic sneered, "So weak."Vinny gasped and roared, "You think you've won?"With that, he rushed forward again. This time he kept his distance from Dominic's grasp. His other hand held the dagger like a venomous snake in the shadows, poised for a fatal strike.In Dominic's eyes, however, the attack posed no threat. He waited calmly until Vinny closed the distance. When the blade was about to slash his neck, Dominic extended his hand and seized Vinny's wrist with perfect precision.Vinny was caught again and shouted instinctively, "That's impossible!""Nothing is impossible." Dominic spoke casually, then yanked him forward, bent his right leg, and drove his knee upward with brutal force.Vinny froze. It felt as though a charging rhinoceros had slammed into his stomach. His organs seemed to shift. The overwhelming pain f
Alexander covered his cheek, completely stunned and a little frightened. For months, he had known Isabella's reputation in the company—cold, ruthless, and untouchable. Yet her demeanor toward him had always been gentle.Now, the woman standing before him shattered that image. Her icy composure sent
Dominic turned his head and saw a tall figure emerge from the villa."Excuse me, are you Autumn?" he asked.Autumn nodded. "I am."Dominic hadn't expected the old lady's words to be true. Autumn was young, barely past her 20, dressed in expensive clothes that accentuated her graceful figure. Her
Things had come to this point, and Dominic's only concern now was Lilith. He hoped that after his death Isabella would take good care of their daughter.Victor stepped forward to offer comfort. "Please accept our condolences." Isabella, her mind blank, sprang up, pointed at Victor, and shouted, "
"We found a few bystanders who were at the scene during the accident through our connections, but they all said the same thing. They only saw your husband suddenly rush out before getting hit. None of them were sure if someone had pushed him."Hearing Samuel's report, Isabella felt crushed."There
