Crushed Affections (Dominic and Bella) novel Chapter 297

Chapter 297 Waking up From a Dream 

Lather than anger, Bella felt a deep sense of despair and grievance. She brushed Dominic’s hand away and said in a trembling voice, “You can say whatever you want about me, but don’t bring my mom into this. No one is that clean… including you!” 

She was alluding to his past scandals, whether they were a show or not, as well as the love letter Richard had once written to Dorothy. So, no one was entirely Innocent. 

Dominic, still enraged, grabbed her by the throat and pinned her down on the couch. He growled. “Me? Hah! I’ve only ever been with you! But you? You can be with anyone! 

“Don’t look at me with those eyes. Don’t act like a harmless little lamb. You’re the real predator here, making people feel fooled until the very end ” 

with that, he released her. After grabbing his car loys, he stormed out without looking back. 

Bella heard the sound of his car fading away outside. She curled up on the couch, hugging her knees, and choked back her sobs. 

He had treated her this way in the past too, But after experiencing his gentleness, she couldn’t endure his old ways again 

He had painted a perfect illusion for her, only to shatter everything himself, who was actually more cruel? 

At this moment, Sylvia approached cautiously to comfort Bella, “Ms. Jones, Mr. Miller said those things in a fit of anger. Don’t confront him head–on. Things will get better once he calms down.” 

Bella looked up, her eyes filled with tears. “It won’t get better… It can’t be 

e fixed…” 

Sylvia didn’t understand what she meant, and Bella didn’t explain Moving like a lifeless shell, she went back to her room, packed a small bag, and left behind everything that didn’t belong to her. 

With that, she left Miller Manor, 

She knew this was the last time. She wouldn’t come back, and Dominic wouldn’t look for her again. 

Bella took a day off from the hospital. The only person she could turn to was Lia. Without asking for details, Lia simply handed over the keys to her apartment. 

Bella spent the entire day there, not drinking a drop of water and not having the appetite to eat. 

When Lia returned from work and asked what happened, Bella couldn’t hold back her tears. As she sobbed, she recounted everything that had transpired. Lia offered a few comforting words before speaking from a neutral perspective, “Dominic’s reaction shows he cares about y 

You 

gof him not to listen or trust you, you have to consider his perspective. You might not like Felix, but Felix likes 

“Even if it’s a misunderstanding and it was wrong you. How could Dominic not overthink things?” 

Bella paused for a second. “So… It’s my fault?”
