She Chose Him Now She Wants Me Back novel Chapter 463

Chapter 463

Lydia caught her slip of the tongue, covered her mouth, and smiled. “What I meant is, you’re a god.”

Dominic waved her off. “Don’t put a halo on me. I have emotions and desires. I’ll age, get sick, and die. I’m just an ordinary man.”

That was what he said. Yet a stray thought surfaced. Ever since he had come back to life at the hospital, he had not fallen ill. He felt constantly energized, strong in a way that no longer seemed entirely ordinary.

Lydia giggled softly. “Dom, I actually regret it.”

“Regret what? Regret turning down the chance I offered you last time?” Dominic asked with a faint smile.

If she had been honest from the beginning, he might have helped her.

But after Lydia refused, she had only one path left. She would die, then become a blade in his hand.

Lydia shook her head and brushed the hair from her forehead. “What I regret is following Zachary for a little money. That demon.”

She drew a slow breath before continuing, “When I first met him, I thought he was elegant and extraordinary. I was just a girl from the countryside. It was easy to be dazzled by money.

“After that, everything unfolded as if it were inevitable. Under his financial offensive, I gave in. I gave him the most precious thing I had, and he opened a law firm for me.

“I thought things would move in a good direction. But later I saw his cruelty. He refused to marry me. He would not even allow our relationship to be made public.

“One day, a male classmate from university came to see me. We shared a single meal. When Zachary learned that the classmate had once pursued me, he had him beaten so badly he was seriously injured.

“After that, I realized that whenever someone displeased him, he found a way to destroy them. Sometimes, he sent people to attack them outright. Other times he set gambling traps and lured them in, ruining entire families. He took pleasure in it.

“By the time I saw that side of him, it was too late. I was already on his ship, and there was no getting off.”

Lydia smiled bitterly.

Dominic let out a low, cold laugh. “Maybe you couldn’t give up the wealth and luxury.”

Lydia hesitated for several seconds. “Not just that. I was afraid. The Grants are terrifying.”

Dominic nodded.

When he first learned the true social standing of the Sinclairs in Eastmere State, he had felt the same shock. Families like the Sinclairs had people who handled problems quietly and efficiently.

The Grants were no different. Given Zachary’s temperament, if Dominic had not been the Sinclairs‘ son–in–law, and if not for Jessica’s connection, Zachary would have already made a move against him.

From that perspective, he really had been relying on a powerful wife.
