Unloved Unwanted Unstoppable (Seraphina and Dominic) novel Chapter 405

Dominic closed his eyes tight.

It took a long moment before he opened them again.

"I'm sorry."

"I didn't handle my personal life well. This is on me."

His voice was flat, devoid of any intention to blame Cynthia.

"We should spend some time apart. Let's just cool off."

With that, he turned and walked into the pouring rain.

Cynthia stood frozen in place, her jaw clenched as she watched his retreating figure.

The rain battered her face, making it impossible to tell what was water and what were tears.

She turned her head to look at the glittering hotel behind her.

The brilliant lights of the banquet hall spilled through the massive floor-to-ceiling windows, illuminating a world of glamour, clinking glasses, and high society.

Tonight, she was supposed to become Mrs. Lockwood.

The wife of the wealthiest man in Northport.

But now, she was standing soaked in the rain, reduced to nothing but a total joke.

She took a ragged breath, balled her hands into tight fists, and turned to walk in the opposite direction.

Dominic reached his car, opened the door, and slid into the driver's seat.

Rainwater dripped from his hair, quickly forming a small puddle on the floor mat.

He leaned back against the leather seat and let out a heavy sigh.

Outside the window, the downpour blurred the entire street.

He thought of the look in Seraphina's eyes just moments ago.

As cold as ice.

He closed his eyes and pinched the bridge of his nose.

Outside, the chaotic sound of the rain raged on...

The next day, the fallout from the celebration banquet dominated every major headline.

"Lockwood Group Banquet Turns into Engagement Chaos: Dominic Lockwood's Proposal Takes a Shocking Turn"

"Lockwood CEO's Ex-Wife Appears at Banquet, Ross Family Heiress Left in the Cold"

"Lockwood CEO Leaves in the Rain, Ross Heiress Abandoned at Hotel"

...

Article after article flooded the internet.

Seraphina sat at the dining table, swiping through the automatic news notifications on her phone, her expression completely indifferent.
