LOGIN"I like you…" Lydia's lingering voice echoed in the air, yet the passenger seat before him was already empty, the flash of red gone.Even if their connection had only been a relationship of convenience, even if she had once framed him, Dominic still felt a faint sense of loss at that moment.He stared at the empty seat for a long time before a relieved smile finally touched his lips.Just as he prepared to step out of the car, a familiar force surged through his body, coursing through his limbs and bones.Dominic froze in slight surprise. He had assumed that this time he had merely used Lydia rather than truly helping her fulfill her obsession. He had not expected to receive karmic merit in return.When he thought back to how Lydia had not disappeared when Zachary died, but had vanished only now, understanding dawned in his mind.With that realization, he took out his phone and opened Lydia's Instagram account.Her final post before her death was a side-profile selfie.[I reall
After a moment of thought, the bald man said, "What he's truly capable of, we'll only know after we fight him."A sharp glint flashed in Elijah's eyes. He spoke coldly. "I'll arrange it as soon as possible. When the time comes, show no mercy. Kill him outright."The bald man nodded without a word. For a brief instant, a vicious look crossed his face.…Dominic and Lydia left the Grant residence.After they got into the car, Lydia finally asked, "Dom, Zachary… what happened to him?"Dominic thought for a moment before replying, "His soul is probably completely shattered."Lydia's eyes trembled. She could not stop herself from asking, "What about me? Will I… end up like that too?"A trace of fear flickered in her eyes.Dominic smiled. "Don't worry. You're different from him. You can go somewhere. Maybe you can even be reincarnated."He had learned some of these secrets the last time Charlotte returned.Lydia asked, "Somewhere? The underworld?"Dominic replied, "You don't need
Elijah could not understand Dominic's behavior.Dominic stood alone beside the villa, holding a fire axe. He spoke on the phone while muttering to himself and casually swinging the weapon through the air. The sight was utterly baffling.Frowning, Elijah stared at him with growing impatience and said darkly, "Dominic, don't think that a little background will keep you safe. If my son's death has anything to do with you, when retribution comes, I hope you won't regret it."Dominic sighed. "Why insist on provoking me?"His words carried a double meaning, aimed at both Zachary and Elijah.Everything had begun when Zachary sent people to disrupt the opening of Dominic's company. Before that, Dominic had known nothing about Alexander's relationship with the Grants, nor had he taken any real action against them.Zachary was in an even worse state now. His body could barely move, yet the pain had not diminished in the slightest. He never wanted to experience that soul-tearing agony again
The intense pain lasted for a long time."Ahhhhhh!" Zachary kept screaming, his spirit body twisting and writhing like a leech soaked in salt water as he struggled desperately.Lydia stood frozen in shock. Zachary had tried to kill her, yet a trace of pity still appeared on her face.Dominic held the axe with a calm expression. The cruel scene before him did not make him flinch.At last, the pain slowly subsided. Zachary's body gradually calmed, and he collapsed to the ground.By then, his body already looked somewhat ethereal.Dominic crouched and planted the axe into the ground. "Now, can you behave?"Zachary looked at the fire axe and then at Dominic. Fear unlike anything he had ever known flooded his eyes. He wailed, "Mr. Fleming, Sir Dominic, please… Please spare me…"Without legs, he could not even run. Even if he could, he would not be able to move more than 30 feet from his own body.Dominic nodded. "What's your relationship with Alexander?"Zachary hurried to answer.
"Ugh, Dad, are you an idiot? You're really going to let him walk away?" Zachary shouted hoarsely from the side, but no one could hear him.At first, he had only suspected that this was connected to Dominic. Now, as he watched Lydia follow closely behind Dominic, suspicion vanished. It was a certainty.After shouting several times with no response, Zachary gritted his teeth and chased after them.Dominic glanced back out of the corner of his eye, a faint smile touching his lips.Instead of leaving the villa directly, he walked toward a flower bed beside the house. Mounted on the wall nearby hung a red fire axe."Lydia, you damn bitch! Stop right there!" Zachary shouted, pointing furiously at her. He had no idea Dominic could see him.Lydia did not flinch. She sneered at him coldly.Enraged and panicked, Zachary rushed up to her and tried to attack.But at that moment he realized he could not affect anything in the real world. He could not even harm Lydia, who was also a spirit.
Lydia hummed in acknowledgment and fell into step beside him.It was December 1. The weather had already turned cold, yet Dominic wore only a sweater and carried his coat in one hand.In the elevator, Lydia asked, "Aren't you cold?"Dominic shook his head. His physical condition was no longer that of an ordinary person.Just like the last time at Katherine's house, when he rode the bike, he could pedal for more than half an hour without stopping and still feel as if he were only halfway through the ride. How many ordinary people could manage that?Lydia giggled and made small talk. "I'm not cold either!"Dominic rolled his eyes. When they reached the underground garage, where there were no cameras, he grabbed Lydia's arm.Lydia wore only a thin nightdress. The chill hit her immediately, and she hissed, "So cold!"Dominic laughed.Lydia glared at him with her beautiful eyes. "You're annoying!"She said it, yet a strange joy stirred inside her.Dominic did not tease her furthe
Katherine wore tight denim shorts that day, and a faint red mark stood out on her pale, shapely thigh.Isabella ignored it, pulled out her phone, and muttered, "No, I need to explain this to Dom. I really didn't mean anything by it…"Just as she was about to call, her phone rang first. It was Alex
Isabella crouched and slipped off her high heels. Her full hips stretched the fabric of her dress into an inviting curve.Dominic thought that her coming home this early was a good sign, as if things were finally moving in the right direction.She changed into more comfortable shoes and hurried to
Dominic stirred awake, his vision blurred, only to find a pair of bright, steady eyes fixed on him. His wife lay across his chest like a small, contented cat and stared at him with quiet devotion.He turned his head, avoiding her gaze."What are you up to? I locked the door. How did you get in?" H
Dominic shook his head. Isabella had always been fiercely driven by her career. After everything that had happened at home, she wanted to achieve something even more meaningful, to prove herself. That was why he had been willing to stay at home all these years, supporting her fully so she could focu
