She Chose Him Now She Wants Me Back novel Chapter 148

Alexander immediately wailed, “Bella! Dom hit me. He even wants to kill me. Hurry up and stop him!”

Isabella did not spare him a glance. She was struggling to hold Dominic back, her grip tight and frantic as her voice shook. ” Dominic, if you have something to say, say it calmly. Don’t act on impulse. Please, don’t act on impulse.”

Dominic’s eyes were ice–cold. He held the kitchen knife steady and spoke in a low, even voice. “Let go.”

“I won’t! Lily is here. I can’t let you lose control!” A sob crept into Isabella’s voice. Her panic showed clearly.

Dominic fell silent for a few seconds, then asked quietly, “You’re protecting them?”

“I’m not.” Isabella stepped in front of him and met his gaze, her words rushed and anxious. “I’m worried about you. Whatever it is, we can talk it through. There are other ways to get what you want. If you hurt him now, there won’t be any way to clean this up. Something terrible will happen.”

Dominic heard her out and, for no clear reason, smiled.

Alexander finally let out a long breath. He struggled to his feet and said in a wounded tone, “Bella, we only came to apologize. I never expected Dom to lose his mind and attack me. If you hadn’t shown up, he really would’ve chopped me to death today. Wah

Mary was still kneeling on the floor. When she heard that, she secretly flashed Alexander a big thumbs–up. ‘Perfect. Absolutely

flawless.‘

If nothing went wrong, Isabella would feel heartbroken any second now, and their plan would succeed.

But Isabella showed no pity at all. Her expression darkened instead.

She suddenly thought of Autumn. In the past, she never felt anything was wrong, but hearing Alexander talk like this today made her feel deeply disgusted.

“Don’t be angry, Bella. This is all my fault. If I hadn’t come to look for Dom-“As usual, Alexander’s voice dripped with grievance.

This time, he did not get to finish.

“Have you said enough?” Isabella snapped, her voice tight with restrained fury.

In the next second, she kicked Alexander hard.

She was wearing high heels.

No one knew exactly where the kick landed, but Alexander collapsed instantly, curling in on himself. His face twisted in agony. The pain was so intense that he could only gape silently, unable to make a sound.

Dominic raised an eyebrow.

Isabella turned to face the mother and son. Her eyes burned with disgust as she shouted sharply, “Alexander, I’m warning you for the last time. Stop courting death!”

Mary froze. This was nothing like what she had expected.

She could only cry out in panic, “Bella! Alex didn’t mean any harm. He just felt guilty and came to apologizel”

Isabella answered coldly, “Shut up. I don’t care why you’re here. Get out of my sight now.”

Mary tried to speak again, but Alexander had recovered just enough to notice Isabella’s expression and the cold gleam of the kitchen knife in Dominic’s hand. Terror washed over him.

He hurried over and stopped Mary from talking. Supporting each other, they stumbled toward the elevator.

Then a voice stopped them cold. “Did I say you could leave?”

Dominic’s tone sent a violent shiver through Alexander. His whole body went rigid.
