She Chose Him Now She Wants Me Back novel Chapter 563

Dominic was already in a foul mood, and his impatience sharpened his tone. He had never considered giving up on Katherine.

Isabella sighed softly. “I can’t accept you being with her. If she really takes you away from me… I think I’ll cut ties with her completely.”

Dominic froze for a moment. Anger then spread across his face. “What do you mean by that? Are you threatening me?”

“No,” Isabella said. Her expression turned bitter, her smile fragile. “I’m not lying to you. That’s how I truly feel. I can’t bear to lose you. Whether it’s Katherine, Jessica, or anyone else… if they take you away from me, I… I’ll go mad.”

Dominic let out a cold laugh. “Then why don’t you just lock me up? Like those obsessive characters in novels. Break my arms and legs while you’re at it. Then I won’t be able to be with anyone.”

At those words, Isabella’s face drained of color. She immediately reached out and covered Dominic’s mouth.

Tears welled in her eyes as she spoke in a trembling voice. “Honey, don’t say things like that when you’re angry. How could I ever hurt you? Lock you up? I’d rather hurt myself.”

Dominic remained silent for a few seconds before speaking again. “This just brings us back to the same point. Whether you meant it or not, I did die once because of Alexander. And you were an indirect accomplice.”

Isabella froze. That was the one thing she could never escape.

The door burst open, and Katherine rushed inside.

She grabbed Isabella by the arm and demanded in a trembling voice, “What does Dominic mean by that? You and Alexander… killed him once?”

Dominic had not expected her to hear that. He stood at once, ready to explain. “Katherine-”

But Isabella raised a hand and stopped him. She looked at Katherine and did not try to hide the truth.

“Yes,” she said quietly. “I… caused my husband’s death once.”

Katherine’s eyes widened in shock.

Isabella closed her eyes in pain. “That day, Alex pushed Dominic into the street. A car hit him…

“But I thought he was fine. I took the ambulance meant for him and gave it to Alex… so Dominic missed the critical rescue window.

“Even at the hospital, I didn’t realize how badly he was hurt. I stayed by Alex’s side instead..

“Later… Dominic didn’t survive the emergency treatment. His vital signs were gone… It wasn’t until the next morning… that a miracle happened. Dominic woke up…”

The next second, a sharp slap struck Isabella across the face. The force left half her face numb.

She did not dodge.

Tears streamed down Katherine’s face as she trembled with anger. “Isabella, how can you be this disgusting? For someone as vile as that man, you got Dominic killed. You’re unbelievable.”

Still not satisfied, she raised her hand again. The second slap landed on Isabella’s other cheek.

Isabella endured it in silence. She did not resist or argue.

When Katherine raised her hand for a third time, Dominic reached out and grabbed her wrist.

Katherine looked at him with reddened eyes.

Dominic spoke softly. “Let it go. It’s in the past. She’s Lily’s mother, after all.”

Katherine gritted her teeth and shook off his hand.
