บททั้งหมดของ She Chose Him, Now She Wants Me Back: บทที่ 51 - บทที่ 60

Dominic retraced his steps. When he neared the spot where he had met Clarita earlier, the sound of crying reached him.His expression froze. Something had happened ahead. Several bodyguards stood nearby, and he instinctively ducked behind a tree.He watched as they lifted a bike from the bottom of the slope."Heh, now she should believe me…" Dominic murmured with a faint chuckle, but his voice trailed off when he noticed someone else behind the bike.Autumn followed closely, crying uncontrollably. It was nothing like her calm self from before.What they were carrying made his blood run cold.Dominic's pupils tightened. An arm dangled limply, a gold bracelet glinting on its wrist.The sight sent a chill up his spine. The clothing, the bracelet—he had seen them both on Clarita earlier.The sunlight fell warm on his shoulders, yet he felt an icy shiver spread through him.There was no room for doubt. Seeing Autumn weep that bitterly made it certain: Clarita had died. But then, wh

Dominic nodded right away. "Yeah, sure."Five minutes later, the group stopped beside a long limousine."Get in," Autumn said coldly.Dominic ignored her tone and opened the door. For a moment, no one moved."What kind of joke are you trying to pull?" Autumn snapped.Clarita had just passed away, and she'd been holding back her grief all day. Now her patience was nearly gone.Dominic gestured for Clarita to enter first, then climbed in after her. Autumn followed.The car's interior was spacious and sealed tight. No one outside could see a thing.Autumn spoke slowly, every word edged with warning. "You can talk now. If you lie to me, even once, I'll make you regret ever being born—no matter who's backing you."Dominic nodded. He knew she was grieving, so he didn't take the threat to heart. Instead, he said, "Your grandmother told me you grew up in Peachville.""That's easy enough to find out," Autumn replied."When you were little, you loved the peach tree at the village entr

Clarita hadn't been exaggerating. Even at Skyline University, none of those so-called campus heartthrobs could compare to Dominic.Naturally, Dominic knew it. In terms of looks, the only man who might rival him was the one he'd seen in the wheelchair at the hospital last night. Other than that, few could come close.His appeal wasn't the soft, boyish kind either. His face was sharply defined, his brows thick, his eyes deep and full of quiet strength.Autumn studied him silently. Though it was her first time meeting this man—and she didn't even know his name—she didn't feel uneasy around him. If fulfilling Clarita's wish meant something like this, maybe it wouldn't be so bad."Wait a second!" Dominic suddenly said. "Sorry to interrupt, but I'm just helping out today. Ms. Clarita, please don't bring that up again."Autumn froze, irritation flickering through her. She hadn't said a word yet, so what exactly did he mean by that? He thought she wasn't good enough for him?Clarita chuc

'What…' Dominic was stunned.After crying for a long time, Autumn finally quieted down. She lifted her tear-streaked face and looked at Dominic, who met her gaze with calm composure.After a long silence, she bit her lip. "Can you… bring my grandma…"Dominic shook his head before she could finish. "I can't."He still didn't fully understand his own ability, but one thing was clear. What Autumn wanted was impossible. Bringing the dead back to life was beyond human reach. Clarita's soul had already vanished completely."So it's true…" Autumn smiled bitterly and shook her head in disappointment.Dominic sighed. "My condolences."After a moment, Autumn drew a deep breath. "The Garcias owe you an immense debt of gratitude. May I know your name, sir?""Dominic Fleming," he replied. "It's not a big deal. Just something I did along the way."He saw no reason to hide his name. In Skyline, the richest man could uncover anyone's identity in minutes."Mr. Fleming, if you ever need anythi

Dominic continued, "Later on, you made him your assistant and worked with him every day at the office. When you came home at night, you still messaged him. I did not check your phone, and I did not want to. But texting each other constantly is not normal."And besides the messages, on weekends or days off he always found excuses to call you out. You did not think it was strange. You kept bringing up his name in daily life."For example, when we went shopping, you said, 'Oh, this shirt looks nice, let's get one for Alex too.' Do you know how disgusting that sounded to me?"Those words left Isabella humiliated.Dominic went on, "A few days ago, on my birthday, you did not come home to celebrate with us. You went to have a 'celebration dinner' with him. A celebration dinner, right? You even toasted together."A few days after that it was your birthday. One phone call from him and you ran to him again. Even after you realized he tricked you, you did not blame him. You stayed there cal
