Chapter 32 Don't Let Her Know It Was Me

Bella's vision went dark as her consciousness faded. Warm blood trickled down from her wound, and the strength in her body drained away, leaving her unable to resist.

Through her blurry vision, she saw the man straddling her, fumbling with his belt. The foul stench of his sweat filled her senses. She thought it was better to die just like this. Suddenly, a gunshot rang out and startled the birds from the trees. The sound echoed through the open space, hanging in the air.

The man on top of her fell to the ground.

In her daze, Bella saw Dominic standing there, bathed in sunlight, almost like an Illusion. She wanted to reach out to him, but her body wouldn't move.

"Am I dying?" she wondered. "Is that why I'm hallucinating, seeing him before I die?"

It was said that everyone would see the person they wanted to see most in their final moments. Even after being apart for over a month, she hadn't forgotten him at all. That was why she clung so desperately to his image, even in her last moments. This was enough.

With a faint smile on her lips, Bella finally lost consciousness.
