Chapter 95 No

Dominic looked into the apartment and asked, “Where’s Bella?”

Lia, frustrated, said, “She’s sleeping. Can’t this wait until morning? You almos me a heart attack. If I end up having one because of you, you’ll owe me a life.”

Dominic stayed polite but firm. “Just tell her to come out.”

Lia knew Dominic meant business, so she didn’t argue. She could tell he was serious.

When Bella heard Dominic was there, she wasn’t too surprised. Seeing the baseball bat Lia was

Lia put the bat on the bed. “Don’t be silly. I couldn’t fight him. You better go talk to him. I need sleep. Keep it quiet, or I might actually have a heart attack.”

Bella knew Lia was exaggerating. She got up and went outside. She saw Dominic still at the door and offered him a glass of water. “Come in. What’s going on at this hour?” Bella had a pretty good idea of why Dominic was there, but it was still a surprise to see him show up out of the blue.

Dominic stood outside and said, “Come with me.”

Bella thought it might be awkward for him to come into Lia’s place late at night, so she agreed and followed him to his car.

Bella quickly replied, “No, thanks. I’m worried Amber might come after me again. She said next time, she’ll make sure I don’t survive. I don’t want to be caught up in your problems. I thought you were better at handling things, but this time, it’s a mess.”

Her chest heaved with anger and surprise. “What is this? First, Amber bullies me, and now you’re here in the middle of the night making things worse? What do you want from me? I’ve moved out of the way to avoid being a problem. Just leave me alone!”

Dominic leaned in, his face inches from hers. “No.”
