“Yeah, I can’t keep being softhearted anymore.” Isabella’s tone was steady as she looked at Dominic.
Dominic raised an eyebrow. The next moment, Isabella lifted her hand and swung hard.
The sharp crack of the slap echoed through the small hospital room. Silence fell.
Alexander clutched his cheek, staring in disbelief. “Bella, you… hit me?”
Isabella gave him a cold glance before turning to Dominic. Her voice softened. “Dominic, I was wrong. I understand now how you must have felt. I’m sorry.”
Dominic frowned. His magic hadn’t overpowered hers–it had purified and made her see clearly.
Autumn pouted, an odd tension tightening her chest.
“Bella, you can’t-” Alexander stepped forward, his pulse racing.
“If you say one more word, I’ll rip that mouth of yours apart.” Isabella’s glare cut him off.
Alexander froze, a chill running down his spine. “That same terrifying look again.‘

Dominic sneered, “Small mistakes, huh?”
Those so–called mistakes had nearly cost him his life. No, they had taken it. If not for the strange power that revived him, he’d already be in the ground. Forgiving her now would mock the very idea of life itself.
His voice turned cold. “Looks like you and I can’t communicate anymore. Since you’re here today and you’ve done this, let’s di-”
“Don’t!” Isabella’s scream cut him off. She shook her head frantically. “Dominic, please don’t say that word. I… I’m scared!”
“Scared?” He laughed bitterly.
