She Chose Him Now She Wants Me Back novel Chapter 196

Chapter 196

On a street corner, Leona wore a tight spaghetti–strap top and a pink skirt so short it barely skimmed her thighs. Large swaths of skin lay exposed to the air, drawing the subconscious glances of passersby as they walked past.

Leona was, by any measure, quite pretty. Yet the thick layer of foundation masked her former innocence and lent her a heavy, overly mature look.

When she spotted a man approaching, she did not hesitate. She reached out, hooked his arm, and spoke in a syrupy tone. “Come here, handsome!”

The man appeared to be in his 50s. He was balding, gaunt, and unapologetic as his gaze crawled over her. He grabbed at her, laughed, and asked, “How much?”

Leona kept smiling and raised three fingers.

The man frowned and grabbed her again. “Too expensive.”

With that, he turned to leave.

Anxiety flickered across Leona’s face. She caught his arm and blurted, “Two hundred dollars. Two hundred. How about that?”

The man stopped. A sharp glint flashed through his eyes. “One fifty,” he said. “And I want full service.”

Leona hesitated, then clenched her teeth. “Fine.”

She led the balding man to a run–down rental unit nearby.

The place had two rooms. One door remained tightly shut. Leona glanced at it, then looked away and guided him into the other

room.

Half an hour later…

Leona stared at the wad of cash in her hand, her expression twisted with anger and disbelief. “Handsome, we agreed on 150. You

…”

The crumpled bills amounted to no more than 80 dollars.

The balding man spoke with impatience. “You even wanted me to wear that thing. Ridiculous. I don’t have any more money.

That’s all.”

“I accept QR payments…”

“Take it or leave it!” He lit a cigarette, shook off Leona’s hand, snorted, and walked out.

Leona stood frozen, watching his retreating figure. Her fingers tightened slowly around the money.

Tom, who stood outside the door, had heard everything. His eyes turned bloodshot as he charged at the man, swinging wildly and roaring, “I’ll kill you, you animal!”

The blows barely registered.

The balding man noticed Dominic and chuckled crudely. “Not bad. You should give it a try. Still warm, hahaha!”

Dominic cast him a cool, indifferent glance.

The man snorted. “What the hell are you staring at?”

He swaggered away.

He did not make it far.

A sudden yank tore at the few scraggly hairs on his head, and his body slammed to the ground. He tried to rise, but a foot pressed hard against his chest, pinning him in place.

Dominic looked down at him, his gaze icy and still. “Say that again.”

“You…” The balding man met Dominic’s eyes and felt a chill cut straight through him.

Akick followed, smashing into his mouth. He groaned, half his face going numb.
