Crushed Affections (Dominic and Bella)

Chapter 328 Avalanche

It was only then Bella realized she had been tricked. She gave up hope that he'd help her and stood up to walk out. "I'll call a cab on my own."

She had only taken a few steps when his hand immediately reached out to grab her wrist. With a harsh tug, she was caught off guard and fell into his embrace. Her first reaction was to struggle desperately. She looked like she had been greatly shocked.

Dominic was also shocked by her reaction. After getting over his initial shock, an unreadable emotion flashed across his eyes. "Are you afraid of me?"

Bella shook her head anxiously. Her hair tie had dropped to the ground during her struggle, and her long hair was let loose, conveniently concealing her unease. She was afraid of being near him, afraid that she wouldn't be able to help herself and fall for him all over again...

With each step he took toward her, she would take a step back.

When she reached the door and stretched her hand out toward the door handle, his hand clasped over hers, preventing her from opening the door.

Their bodies were practically pressed against each other, and his hot breath sprayed above her head. "Don't go," he said.

Bella's body trembled as she bit her lip to stop herself from talking. She knew what it would mean if she stayed, but her emotions were currently in a mess. She shouldn't have come... After a moment of silence, he forcefully pulled her hand down from the door handle and kissed her.
