Love the Second Time Around

Chapter 98 So Painful

“What more do you want?” I asked in annoyance when I turned around and saw that it was Dominic.

I froze and stared at him in confusion as I didn’t understand what he meant.

“You ended our relationship as you pleased five years ago. Do you really think I’d let you do that again now? You have no right to tell me to stay away from you! You owe me big time, and I’m not letting you get away from me this time!”

I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry when I heard that. “Since when have you gotten so shameless, Dominic? You’re the one who wronged me in the first place, but I’m the one who owes you big time?”

Dominic frowned and shot me a cold glare before breaking into a vicious grin. “Trying to shift the blame, are you? Too bad it’s not going to do you any good because I’ll make sure to take back twice as much as you owe me!”

His ability to shamelessly lie through his teeth left me speechless once again.

Suddenly, a hand reached out from behind and yanked me free of Dominic’s grip before pulling me into a warm embrace.

I looked up in confusion and saw Nicholas looking at me worriedly. “Are you hurt?”

I shook my head and replied, “Come on, let’s get out of here.”

At that point, I didn’t know what else I could say to Dominic, nor did I want to say anything further.

“Stay out of this, Nicholas! I’ve been kind enough to let you off the hook up until now, but don’t mistake my kindness for weakness!” Dominic said threateningly before Nicholas could even respond.

His menacing tone sent a shiver down my spine, and I quickly shoved Nicholas off me. “This is between him and me, so you should stay out of it.”

Knowing Dominic and the fact that he has invested in The Wind And Cloud, there’s no telling what he would do next!
