Shattered Longings

Chapter 35 Cutting Off the Long Hair She Grew for Him

Bella was startled. She gasped as the pain from the wound on her forehead intensified, causing her face to turn pale.

Once she saw who it was, she frowned and asked, “What are you doing?”

It was Magdalena, who sighed in relief and said, “It looks like you want to wash your hair, but it’s not convenient for you. Let me help you. It would be a shame to cut off such beautiful hair.”

Bella was about to decline, but Magdalena had already gone to the bathroom to get hot water.

She couldn’t shake the feeling that something was off. First, Dominic had stopped her from taking a shower, and now someone was inexplicably preventing her from cutting her hair.

Suddenly, she remembered something. She had kept her hair long because Dominic liked it.

He had once, while drunk and pressing her beneath him, shown a fascination with her long hair, often playing with it between his fingers. Since then, she hadn’t cut it.

But now, there was no need for her to humiliate herself, trying to please him anymore. If that was the case, there was no point in keeping it.
