Penulis: Axcellent
Katherine nodded. "You're not wrong. Who would've thought Dominic could be such a jealous husband? Hahaha."

"Don't laugh." Isabella's tone was sharp. "The problem is he's ignoring me. What am I supposed to do?"

"Then ignore him too. Give it some time, and it'll blow over," Katherine said casually.

"But I don't want a cold war with him," Isabella admitted. "We've been married all these years, and we've hardly ever fought like this. I'm not used to it."

Katherine lifted her hands in mock surrender. "Then I can't help you. You know me. I've been single since birth. I don't get all this love stuff."

Isabella exhaled another long sigh.

Suddenly, Katherine's eyes lit up. She sat up straight and spoke with mock mystery. "Isn't there a saying? There's nothing that can't be solved in one round. If there is, make it two."

Isabella's eyes brightened. "Really?"

She thought for a moment. Her period had just ended, and it had indeed been several days since they last slept together. A trace o

  • She Chose Him, Now She Wants Me Back   Chapter 30

    Alexander hadn't expected Dominic to still have the strength to strike. The punch stunned him, and he staggered backward. Then, pain shot through his nose, forcing a muffled groan from his lips.That single blow did nothing to cool Dominic's fury. If anything, it made his rage burn hotter. That bastard had just tried to kill him.Dominic lashed out with his leg and sent Alexander crashing to the ground. He then lunged forward and unleashed a storm of blows.Alexander had no chance to fight back. He curled into himself, shielding his vital spots.Fortunately, the call to Isabella had already gone through. His trembling voice pleaded over the phone, "Bella! Please come save me… y-your husband's going to kill me… Ahh…"Hearing this drove Dominic into an even greater frenzy. His eyes were bloodshot, his fists and feet raining down mercilessly. Every part of him screamed to beat Alexander to death.The crowd scattered in shock. No one dared step in. Dominic's expression was crazed, an

  • She Chose Him, Now She Wants Me Back   Chapter 29

    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 Alexander. She answered lightly. "Hello?"On the other end came Alexander's panicked, trembling voice, edged with sobs. "Bella! Please come save me… Y-Your husband's going to kill me… Ahh…"Isabella's expression changed at once. She leapt from her seat and rushed out without a second thought.…Ten minutes earlier, Dominic had planned to drive, but when he came downstairs, he realized he had forgotten his keys.Abandoning the idea, he headed for the bus stop. Two interviews awaited him that day. With the divorce looming, finding a job had become his top priority.He had barely walked two minutes from the building when a breathless voice called from behind, "Wait up, Dom!"Dominic's pupils

  • She Chose Him, Now She Wants Me Back   Chapter 28

    "Get up. Don't just sit on the floor," Katherine said calmly.Alexander froze when he saw her. He hadn't expected another woman to resemble Isabella so closely. Her pear-shaped figure was graceful, with a narrow waist and full hips, nearly perfect in proportion.Compared to Isabella, her curves were more dramatic. Her red blouse stretched tightly across her chest, forming a silhouette that was mesmerizing, impossible to ignore.Katherine noticed immediately. Her brows furrowed, and a flicker of displeasure passed through her eyes.Meanwhile, Isabella was too agitated to catch the subtle tension. She turned to her sister. "Katherine, can you believe how Dom's been acting? His temper is out of control. He even laid hands on someone."Seeing Alexander stand, Katherine snorted softly. "If you ask me, he was already showing a lot of restraint."She turned and walked back into her apartment, offering no invitation to Alexander.Alexander steadied himself against the wall. His eyes dar

    Dominic yanked his arm free and stormed out of the house, ignoring Isabella's cries. Isabella felt a wave of regret as she watched her husband leave once again.Alexander shifted uneasily, his tone hesitant. "I'm sorry, Bella… I think I made you two fight again."She froze for a moment, then sighed. "It's fine. It isn't your fault."Alexander asked carefully, "Was Dominic always like this before?"Isabella's expression softened with memory, and she smiled faintly. "No… he wasn't like this at all. He couldn't bear to let me be upset."Seven years of marriage had filled her life with happiness. Dominic had loved her from the very depths of his being, attentive to every detail, spoiling her and Lilith as if they were the center of his world."Then why would he change into this?" Alexander pressed.Isabella frowned. 'Changed? Yes… he really does seem different now.'A trace of irritation flickered in her eyes. "I don't understand what's going through his head anymore. We had a pe

    Dominic's expression darkened instantly. His cold eyes swept over Isabella, but he said nothing.Isabella's heart trembled under his gaze, yet she forced herself to speak. "Honey, Alex is already here. Since you're making breakfast anyway, what's the harm in setting out one more pair of cutlery?"Dominic replied flatly, "Is that so? Since your dear brother is here, shouldn't you be the one cooking?"Isabella's cheeks flushed. "You know perfectly well I can't cook—""Then shut your mouth," Dominic cut her off with a wave of his hand.Her face darkened. 'Dominic, I only asked you to make breakfast, and this is how you treat me? You've gone too far.'She felt a bitter swell of frustration. Normally, Dominic made breakfast every morning. There was just one extra person today—what was the problem?Alexander watched the couple quarreling and quietly rejoiced, though he kept his face calm. After a moment, his expression turned into one of remorse. "Bella, Dominic, please don't fight. M

    Alexander said, "Maybe it just means your husband loves you too much. That's why he's so possessive, like a child who won't let anyone touch his favorite toy.""Is that so?" Isabella frowned, a flash of displeasure crossing her face.Thinking it over, she realized Dominic had been acting domineering lately, even demanding she cut ties with Alexander over trivial matters. The thought left a sour taste in her mouth.Alexander quickly added, "It's just my guess, Bella. Don't take it too much to heart."She fell silent for a moment. In the end, she said, "I understand."After hanging up, they continued chatting on WhatsApp late into the night.…The next morning, Dominic rubbed his tired eyes and dragged himself out of bed. Sleep had eluded him. Every time he closed his eyes, memories of his years with Isabella replayed.To say it didn’t hurt would have been a lie. Still, pain solved nothing. He had given his love recklessly once. Now, it was time to let go.When he opened the doo
