Chapter 55

Vanessa

My eyes are blazing with anger and fixed on her as she touches her cheek while facing the other side. At this moment, I have no regrets.

In only a few seconds, Dominic rushes between us but faces me, clenching his jaw hard as he looks down at me. I don’t even want to look at him after how far he let her go with this when he could’ve said something earlier. As I try to regulate my heavy and rushed breathing. I look to the side.

“I did.”

“Then why should anyone else pick it up?”

“Because that shit doesn’t belong to me.”

“But who threw it outside?”

“Me

“But-”
