ログインOnce outside, Dominic requested a car from a bodyguard, entered a restaurant address into his phone, and set off using navigation.Moments earlier, he had coaxed the address of Katherine's blind date out of Leticia."She belongs to me. You think you can go on a blind date? Not a chance," he muttered.Meanwhile, at a high-end restaurant…Katherine stepped out of her car, checked the time, and headed inside.A man in his early 30s spotted her. His eyes lit up as he hurried over. "Miss Sinclair, over here!"He wore expensive clothes, looked fairly handsome, and kept his hair meticulously styled.Katherine offered a faint smile. "You're Mr. Parker?""Yes, my name is Marcus Parker." He smiled and made a polite gesture for her to enter first.She walked straight in.They proceeded one after the other into a private dining room.After they sat down, Marcus sighed. "Miss Sinclair, you truly live up to your reputation."In Eastmere State, the Sinclair sisters were known as the twin
Dominic tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.At last, he sat up, went to the window, and lit a cigarette. He watched the distant city lights as his gaze slowly steadied.Katherine's image lingered in his mind. Every smile and frown remained vivid.He finished the cigarette and drew a deep breath. A sharp, resolute look settled in his eyes. He wasn't some pathetic simp. He could not keep chasing her and hoping for forgiveness. He had to take the initiative.…The next morning, Dominic woke around 9:00 a.m.When he went downstairs, he found Katherine in the dining room, eating breakfast at an unhurried pace.He walked over. "Morning, Katherine."She glanced at him without replying.He tried again. "How's the breakfast? Better than what I make?"Katherine slammed her plate onto the table, rose, and left at once.Dominic had been completely ignored, but he did not mind. He smiled and asked a nearby maid, "Has Lily come downstairs?"The maid replied, "Ms. Isabella and Miss
Dominic felt a strange sensation when he heard those words. Anyone could have said them, yet hearing them from Isabella sounded oddly out of place.Isabella spoke again. "Let's go. It's already late. We should head upstairs and rest."As she spoke, she reached for his arm and tried to pull him inside.Dominic paused to think, then did not refuse. Once they were upstairs, he said, "You and Lily can sleep together. I'll take a room by myself."Isabella did not seem surprised. She let out a small sigh. "Fine, that works. Just don't overthink things."Dominic ignored her and went into a guest room.…Night fell.Katherine sat alone on the bed. She curled up, hugging her knees, and in the quiet, the sadness on her face surfaced fully.Her gaze lingered on the bedsheets as she sat in silence. They had already been changed and lay clean and undisturbed. Every trace of the previous night had vanished.Yet in Katherine's mind, the memory of the two of them clinging to each other on th
Katherine shivered but did not answer.Dominic sat down beside her, hoping to be close to her again, like yesterday.But Katherine suddenly said, "Stay away from me."Dominic froze. The cold, indifferent look on her face stopped him from moving any closer. He asked cautiously, "Where did you go today?""Does it have anything to do with you?" Her voice remained icy, pushing him away and keeping him at a distance.Dominic sighed helplessly and tried again. "Earlier… they said you agreed to a blind date. What's that about?"He avoided mentioning Isabella's name, afraid it might upset her.Katherine sneered. "I'm 29. Isn't it normal to find someone suitable to marry?""Of course not!" Dominic replied without hesitation.Only then did Katherine turn her head. She looked him up and down, her eyes filled with disdain. "Dominic, you really are shameless. You want both?"Dominic's face twitched. "I was drunk last night.""Drunk?" Katherine let out a cold laugh. "So being drunk gives
Isabella didn't know what Dominic intended, so she followed him.To her surprise, he gently took her by the arm, guided her out the door, and closed it behind her. The room fell quiet.Ignoring Isabella's calls from outside, Dominic lay down beside Lilith. Drowsiness overtook him, and before long he was asleep.…When he woke again, it was already afternoon.Lilith had woken up at some point. She sat nearby with his phone in her hands, completely absorbed in a game.Dominic said softly, "Lily…"Lilith's neck stiffened at once, and her eyes widened into round orbs. She slowly turned her little head, frightened. "Daddy…"Dominic gave a cold snort and snatched the phone from her hands. "Don't think I don't know what you're doing. How long did Grandma let you play today? And you were sneaking it too. Don't you care about your eyes?"The girl let out a small, disappointed hum."Let's go."Dominic checked the time. It was already past five. He took her downstairs.The moment Lili
Dominic fell silent when he heard Isabella's words.She took his hand and pressed it against her chest. Tears clouded her eyes. "Honey, feel this. This is my heart. It has always belonged to you."I've made mistakes before. I didn't care enough about your feelings. I… I thought you wouldn't mind. I never imagined I could lose you. If I had known Alex wanted to hurt you, I swear, the moment he had that thought, I would have made sure he never lived to see another day."I know the damage I caused can't be undone, but I can't lose you. Honey, can… you let me make it up to you? As long as we're still together, I'll spend 10 years, 20 years, a lifetime… even an eternity making it up to you, okay?"Isabella's voice trembled with sobs, her tone humble to the extreme.Complex emotions filled Dominic's eyes, yet he still shook his head. "Isabella, things have changed. Your obsession is too strong. In this world, no one is indispensable to anyone."Isabella wiped her tears and spoke with s
The driver took the cigarette, hesitated for a moment, then nodded. He pulled out a special phone and called Autumn.The call connected almost immediately. Autumn's voice sounded tired. "Hello? What is it?""Miss, Mr. Dominic spotted me. He's right next to me now," the driver said awkwardly.Autu
Isabella's eyes were swollen from crying all night, yet she was smiling now. "It's real… Honey, you're really okay!"Dominic snapped coldly, "You're insane. You thought it was in your imagination, so you bit me? Why not bite yourself instead?""I did. Honey, look!" Isabella lifted her arm proudly.
"Let go of Queen Jessie. Did you hear me?""Fuck! Where do you think your hand is?""I'm gonna kill you!"The men in front of them had bloodshot eyes, shouting and cursing wildly.Dominic didn't have time to worry about Jessica. This was self-defense, nothing more, and he wasn't about to let her
"Why are you bringing this up again? I already told you there's nothing between me and him. If you don't like it, I'll delete him from my contacts. Why can't you just let it go?" Isabella pouted and reached for the groceries in Dominic's hands. "Honey, put those down. Let me see your wounds.""My w
