Chapter 20 Going to Find Him

Bella couldn’t keep Dominic from leaving, just as she had never been able to hold him back before.

He sped off into the darkness, leaving no trace behind

When she received the call from the hospital, she remained calm as she could already guess outcome. Due to the media frenzy, she had been temporarily suspended from her position.

the

These blows had become almost numb to her. Things were already bad enough. What more could go wrong?

For three days, there was no sign of Dominic or news from him.

When Bella mustered the courage to call him, she discovered that she had been blocked. The mechanical voice on the other end repeated that the call couldn’t be connected.

Such coldness was truly characteristic of him.

At first, she hoped that once his anger subsided, he would return. At least, he should give her a chance to explain, to show him that things weren’t as he thought, even if he were angry with her.

But now, fear gripped her. Every time she closed her eyes, she was haunted by the image of him seeing her leave the Quinn residence. The anxiety tormented her.

She found lan’s contact information, and she learned that Dominic was on a business trip in Jargue and wasn’t sure when he would return. She decided to go find him.

There were moments in life when one must take the first step, and she had never dared to seek him out before, at any time or place, because he always wanted to keep her existence a secret.

This time, she wanted to take that step.

At this hour, there were no flights to Jargue, so she had to take the fastest high–speed train available. On the train, she repeatedly checked the detailed address Jan had sent her for Dominic’s location.

She arrived at midnight.

When she got to the hotel where Dominic was staying, she saw his familiar figure across the street as soon as she got out of the car. Dressed in a black dress shirt and trousers, he stood like a cold, statuesque figure, the darkness unable to obscure his sharpness.

There were several other people with him, likely partners from the Miller Group.

As they prepared to enter the hotel, Bella instinctively moved closer. Perhaps sensing her presence, Dominic glanced her way, but after a second, he coldly looked away.

He then put his arm around a slender woman beside him, smiling with a warmth Bella had never seen

before.

That smile was new to her.

Her steps faltered, and the scene before her was jarring.

The woman glanced at Bella with a challenging look and snuggled closer to Dominic’s shoulder. This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

At that moment, Bella felt that her presence here was a mistake, making her seem ridiculous. She wanted To escape, but her legs felt as heavy as lead, refusing to move.

She should have known that Dominic wouldn’t care about her or any explanation. The truth was irrelevant. He simply loathed her and didn’t want to see her anymore.

Others looked at Dominic and the woman he was embracing, their smiles filled with suggestive undertones. “Mr. Miller, you have good taste. We won’t disturb you any further. Enjoy your time.”

Dominic didn’t deny it. “Enjoy your time.” With that, he walked into the hotel with the woman without looking back.

As traffic rushed past her, Bella stood frozen until Dominic’s figure disappeared from view.

The night had deepened, and in this unfamiliar city, she found no solace and couldn’t bear to leave.

Unable to muster the courage to step into the hotel, she sat on a bench outside, hoping she might catch a glimpse of him, even if it was just to hear him say a single word.

Bella waited through the night until dawn broke and the faint mist hung in the air. The cold was biting, and her body had long lost its warmth, her face as pale as paper.

Suddenly, she heard footsteps approaching. She looked up with a glimmer of life as she saw that familiar face. In a hoarse voice, she said, “You came…”
