All Chapters of A Call From Ten Years Later: Chapter 1 - Chapter 8

That day, I didn't follow him.Before long, Dominic sent me a message.Don't try to hurt her again. Apart from that, I can tolerate everything else about you.The next second, three million dollars appeared in my account.Then another message came through.Don't worry, I won't go see her often. I'll come home tonight and be with you.Every word was drenched in wariness toward me.I stood there, looking back at the tightly shut door of the hospital room, and for the first time, I had no desire to barge in.When I first saw Serena and Dominic getting out of bed together, I'd lost my mind.Every meeting, I had to sit beside Dominic. Every order had to go through my hands.Whenever Serena showed up at a Family council, I'd cause a scene until the whole room squirmed.Back then, Dominic would always look at me with exhaustion.He explained that Serena had dreamed of her dead brother and clung to him crying, and he'd only stayed to comfort her.He promised he'd keep his distance from then on

I walked down the street in a daze.It wasn't until someone gasped at the sight of my arm that I looked down.Blood had soaked through my sleeve and was dripping from my fingertips.I called the butler and asked him to have a private doctor waiting at the estate.There was a brief silence on the other end."Donna, all the private doctors have been reassigned by the Don to attend to Miss Blake."I paused, hung up, and ducked into a random pharmacy.I fumbled with the bandages, my fingers shaking from the pain.Growing up, I'd almost never been hurt.The first time Dominic saw me at a banquet, I was still my father's little princess, shielded from everything.On our wedding day, he promised my father that he'd make me happy forever, that I'd be a sun that never set.But later, he was the one who pulled me back down from that sky.I stared at the thick, clumsy bandages on my arm and laughed bitterly at myself.Then my phone buzzed.Dominic had sent a message, calling an emergency Family c

After leaving Dominic, I went back to my own Family's estate, a place I hadn't visited in a long time.Over the years, he'd always worried I'd leverage my family's power against Serena, so he'd done everything to limit my contact with them.My father had urged me to leave, but back then I was trapped in the bitterness of betrayal and refused to turn back.When the car stopped at the gates, I still felt a knot of unease.But the doors opened, and the rows of people on either side still bowed respectfully."Welcome home, Miss Noelle."My father sat in the main hall, his face stern as he studied me for a long time.It wasn't until his eyes fell on the marks on my wrist that a flicker of pain crossed his gaze."Is this what you fought so hard to hold on to?"I kept my head down and said nothing.He was quiet for a moment, then snapped at the staff, "What are you standing around for? Get the best doctor, now!"Then he let out a bitter laugh, something cold and murderous flashing in his eyes

Third Person’s POVLate at night, Dominic sat at his desk, staring at the photos his secretary had delivered.In one, Noelle was leaning back in a gentleman's arms, lost in the rapture of the dance.His fingers clenched around the edge of the photo, nearly crushing it.After a long moment, his grip eased, just slightly.He looked at Noelle's face again. That smile catapulted him back seven years.Back then, Noelle had been vivid and willful. The moment she stepped onto a dance floor, every eye in the room chased her.Dominic had assumed he could never fall for someone like that.Until she burrowed into his arms and teased him, and for the first time, he felt the hollow place inside him being filled.As a Don, he'd even started fearing death, afraid he'd never see her again.He had loved her so much.A heaviness settled over Dominic's chest.Just then, one of his men hurried in."Don, Miss Blake is banging her head against the wall in the cellar again. She says she's going to kill herse
