Crushed Affections (Dominic and Bella)

Chapter 4 Not the Right One

Mandy was about to finish her sentence when a towering figure blocked the light from the doorway.

The man stood there with an effortless noble bearing. His callous eyes were casting a sharp and piercing gaze. His thin lips were slightly pursed, giving off an air of aloofness.

Bella drew a breath in silence. Just as she was about to speak, Dominic took Mandy with him and turned to leave. He didn't even bother sparing Bella a glance.

She could only bite back the words she wanted to say. Watching the "perfect couple" as they walked away, she suddenly found herself ridiculous. Anyone but her would look good together with Dominic.

No matter how many times they'd slept together, Dominic would never want to be seen with Bella, as she wasn't the right one for him.
