All Chapters of She Chose Him, Now She Wants Me Back: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

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 focus without distraction.After breakfast, Dominic took Lilith to school.From the balcony, Isabella watched with a soft smile the old Audi pull away. Her sister's advice had actually worked.Of course, she never considered that Katherine, who had been single her entire life, was the most reliable source of wisdom. But then again, one had to be bold enough to teach, and the other bold enough to follow through.Leaving the house, Isabella headed straight to the company. Her mood felt lighter than usual, and the icy edge of her expression softened.To the outside world, she was always the untouchable, elegant CEO. Only at home, or around those who truly mattered, did she allow herself to be

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 the kitchen. The aroma of freshly cooked food filled the air. Her eyes crinkled with happiness. "My husband is the best!"Dominic smiled calmly. "Go watch TV. I'll call you when everything's ready."Isabella kissed him on the cheek and returned to the living room.Half an hour later, Dominic set the food on the dining table and called his wife and daughter over. His cooking was exceptional—good enough to rival chefs in five-star hotels. Isabella had eaten his meals for years and never grown tired of them.After finishing, she sighed contentedly. "How about we skip the restaurant tomorrow and have a candlelit dinner at home instead?"Dominic suddenly remembered it was her birthday. "Sur

Isabella hadn't finished speaking before Dominic cut her off, his voice calm but unyielding, "Don't go."Her eyes widened. "Honey! Alex is hurt. He might have broken his leg! That foolish boy didn't even call an ambulance. I'm terrified something might happen to him. Can't you understand how I feel?""I can't," Dominic said coldly. "We agreed tonight would be for the two of us. I don't want some stray interrupting."Isabella shot to her feet, anger flaring. "Alex is my sworn brother. How can you call him a stray? I'll just check on him and come back quickly. We can eat later."She grabbed her phone and headed for the door."If you walk out that door, we'll never come back from it." Dominic's tone stayed flat. Isabella's body froze. She turned, biting her lip. "Honey, don't say things like that. I love you. But dinner can wait. This could be a matter of life and death."In the dim candlelight, she couldn't see the disappointment in his eyes. When he stayed silent, Isabella clenc

For Lilith's sake, Katherine didn't want Isabella and Dominic to fight.Dominic stayed silent for a long while before speaking hoarsely. "Thank you, Katherine."As she wrapped his hand, he felt the warmth of her palm. A sour ache rose in his chest, and tears threatened to break through.This had nothing to do with attraction. He knew Katherine looked down on him. The only reason she helped him now was because of his daughter.Once the bandage was secured, Katherine said, "Alright. Stop being so foolish. Whatever the issue is, talk it out with Bella. As for that sworn brother of hers, I know enough about it. You don't need to torment yourself. Just think of Lilith, do you understand?"Dominic understood perfectly. She wanted him to turn a blind eye, endure, and carry on.'But I can't. A marriage without love isn't worth keeping,' he thought.Resolve flickered in his eyes. He said calmly, "Katherine, I won't bring it up with her again.""What do you mean?" Katherine's eyes widene

Isabella felt as if struck by lightning. In that instant, the man standing before her no longer felt like her husband.She forced a shaky smile as she reached for his arm. "Honey, don't joke like that. You would never cheat. Let's not say things we don't mean. I can explain what happened tonight—""You think I'm joking?" Dominic's voice was cold.He cast a glance toward their daughter's room. "Keep your voice down. If you wake Lily, I won't forgive you."Biting her lip, Isabella tugged him out onto the balcony. "Tonight, I was only worried about Alex being hurt. That's all. There was nothing else. You have to believe me. Let's not blow this little thing out of proportion, please?"Dominic lifted his head toward the moonlight, his voice steady. "There's no need to explain. I already told you: the moment you walked out that door, there's no going back."He turned and went into the study, where a printer sat waiting.Isabella stood frozen, watching as he printed a divorce agreement
