Chapter 11

Back when Dominic had grown tired of me, he didn't even spare me a second thought. He assumed I loved him, and in his eyes, I was nothing without him. He was convinced I'd be trapped by his side for the rest of my life. But reality hit him like a punch to the gut. If the old Dominic could have seen what was coming, he would have hated himself forever. After all, there was a time when he truly loved me. Unfortunately, that love hadn't survived the test of time. …Dominic stared out the window as the whiskey burned its way down his throat. Suddenly, life seemed to lose all meaning. His phone on the table kept lighting up. It was Mark Caballero, the Underboss. "Dominic," Mark called out. "The guys are getting together tonight. Are you coming? Oh, bring that mistress of yours! Just leave your wife at home. Alyssa is too timid and uptight. She's no fun!"Hearing the noisy chatter on the other end, Dominic frowned. There was a warning in his voice as he said, "Lena and I are do

Chapter 12

"I was one step too late back then and never got the chance to confess to Alyssa. But this time, I won't let it happen again," said Christopher.His resolute voice cut through the air, crashing over Dominic like a tidal wave.Fury overwhelmed Dominic instantly. He couldn't believe that Mark, his trusted underboss, had betrayed him. Dominic's eyes went bloodshot with rage as he snatched Mark's phone. His face twisted with menace as he said, "Christopher, Alyssa only loves me. I'll apologize to her, and we'll get back together. "She never liked you. Do you really think you have a chance now? Dream on!"Yet, Christopher remained unnervingly calm. "Alyssa may not be in love with me yet, and she might not end up with me. That's fine. At the very least, I'm better than you," he replied evenly. "After everything you've done to hurt her, even if she doesn't choose me, she'll never go back to you."Dominic's breathing grew ragged as a sharp pain gripped his chest. Still, he forced him

Chapter 13

Dominic slumped onto the cold leather couch, empty bottles rolling across the floor. "I'm sorry… Alyssa…" he slurred, his voice rough. He repeated the words over and over, but I couldn't hear him. Dominic grabbed a bottle and chugged it down. The burn spread from his throat to his stomach, yet it was nothing compared to the agony twisting inside him. As his vision blurred, my face flashed before his eyes. He remembered the first time he saw me. At the time, it was raining heavily in Bridgemont. I had no umbrella and was soaked through, my cheap white dress clinging to me. I looked dishevelled but stubborn. Dominic pulled over, rolled down the window, and said, "Get in. It's pouring."I eyed him warily. A young, handsome man driving a luxury car seemed like a dangerous trap."No, thanks." I refused and turned to walk away. Almost instinctively, he opened the car door and got out. He then pressed his expensive jacket into my hands and stood there, drenched in the rain.

Chapter 14

Dominic stood on the street, his gaze sweeping over the crowd. Suddenly, a figure passed by. He thought she looked like me, but the woman was walking arm-in-arm with a Castovan man. A sharp ache seized Dominic's chest as bitterness flooded through him. With bloodshot eyes, he clenched his fists and stormed forward, driving a punch toward the man's face."Let go of my wife!" he growled. The man spat out blood and stared at Dominic in disbelief. "She's your wife? Then who the hell am I?"Furious, the man struck back. However, Dominic caught his fist with one hand. The woman beside the Castovan man stepped in front of him, shouting, "You're crazy! We don't even know you! Come on, darling, let's go!"She shot Dominic a wary glare as she spoke. That was when he realized he had mistaken someone else for me. Just one similar silhouette was enough to throw him off. "I'm sorry," Dominic muttered.With that, he threw a wad of cash as compensation and dove back into the endless se

Chapter 15

At the time, I froze when I heard Christopher's answer. No matter how hard I searched my memory, I couldn't place him at all. He told me he had first seen me back in university and had fallen for me instantly. We had crossed paths countless times, even exchanged several glances. But back then, I only had eyes for Dominic. On the day Dominic and I first met, Christopher had been planning to confess his feelings. However, a heavy downpour ruined everything. He had shown up with an umbrella to pick me up, but he was a step too late. Dominic had gotten to me first. Every time after that, it was as if fate was messing with him. He was always one step behind Dominic. When Christopher finally got the chance to speak to me, my attention was entirely on Dominic. Later, Dominic pursued me publicly 99 times. I never said yes, but Christopher knew I had developed feelings for Dominic. So, he gave up and chose to love me from the shadows. Christopher's love for me was something he cou

Chapter 16

Dominic closed his eyes and lost consciousness. By the time he woke up, he was in a dark room. Suddenly, images were projected onto the walls. On the left was a photo of him kissing Lena, and on the right was one of Christopher and me kissing. The two pictures stood side by side, painfully vivid.Dominic knew this was Christopher's doing.The images kept shifting. Every time an intimate photo of him and Lena appeared, a similar one of Christopher and me flashed alongside. The pictures cut deep into Dominic's heart. He slammed a fist against the wall and yelled, "Stop! Make it stop!"But the photos kept coming. It was as though they were mocking him, reminding him he had no right to be angry. After all, he had done the same things before. I had suffered, and now it was his turn to experience it.The endless images haunted Dominic like a nightmare, flashing relentlessly before his eyes. Even when he closed them, the scenes still blazed behind his eyelids.After a long while, he

Chapter 17

"I didn't… I wouldn't! I just wanted her to apologize to you and make amends. If you want me to make things right, I can do that too!" Dominic urgently defended himself. He tried to step closer, but the terror in my eyes made him hesitate.Christopher frowned and gently patted my back. "Don't worry. I won't let him hurt you again," he reassured me. Then, he turned to Dominic, his gaze icy as he spat, "Do you really believe your own words? If you truly want to atone, do you need Alyssa's permission? Or are you just too scared to face it?"Before Dominic could answer, Christopher went on, "Whether you want to go or not, it makes no difference. I'm sending you there now."The moment he finished speaking, several of the Russo family's guards appeared. They quickly tied Dominic up and dragged him to a car. He didn't resist. Instead, he locked eyes with me and said, "Alyssa, I know I didn't take responsibility for what I did before. I just wanted to find you, apologize, and stay b

Chapter 18

In the secret dungeon beneath the Russo residence in New Hudson, a burly man slammed a fist into Dominic while hurling insults.Even then, Dominic didn't struggle or fight back. He simply endured it in silence.If he wanted, he could have knocked the burly man out cold, even taken down a few thugs. Or maybe he could have admitted defeat to Christopher and walked away. But he didn't.Pain was the only thing that made him feel alive now. Perhaps he had lost his mind the moment he learned I would never forgive him. Like his father, he was a monster who never gave up until he got what he wanted. This time, though, he truly regretted it. Dominic had no idea how many days had passed, but he had grown accustomed to this life. Though his body ached, he felt empty inside. In the end, he slipped past the guards, escaped the dungeon, and returned to the Caballeros. He ignored Mark's warnings and was determined to win me back.Relying on his memory, he found my house on Shoreline Coast
