The Almighty Dominance

Chapter 240

*Alex, why? Why are you so hell-bent on being this stubborn? Can you just apologize?"

Sophia demanded, her voice trembling as disappointment flooded her eyes.

She couldn't fathom how that once boastful man bad sunk so low raising his hand against Bella, locking himself beltind narrow-minded walls, brimming with

jealousy, and repaying kindness with cruelty,

Just an apology-how hard can it be?

Sophia yearned for that slag to jolt him awake.

"Sink into the darkness, Alex. Taste the agony that I've endured!" Charles whispered, almost lovingly, as his eyes drank in the chaos with sickening delight.

There was a twisted satisfaction blooming in his chest-a vile warmth-watching them unravel, watching their faces twist in pain.

Misery was his playground.

And seeing others drown in it? That was the only thing that made him feel alive.

He'd had to bleed a little to make his act convincing, but seeing Sophia strike Alex made triumph coil in his chest.

"That was a masterpiece of a slap! He deserves every bit of it. Go on, throw in a few more for good measure!" Florence chimed in, eyes gleaming with vengeful zeal.

"Right! If nobody sets him straight, he'll turn into a complete beast!" Jack hollered, his tone dripping with mockery.

"Someone has to straighten him out, right?"

"Why stop at one slap when he's obviously begging for more?"

Alex exhaled, the soft sound cutting through their taunts like a final, heavy sigh.

It would be the first and the last time this ever happened.

"That slap,” Alex said softly, his voice barely holding together, "was for every mistake I made... every debt of gratitude I could never repay. From now on... there's nothing left between us."

Then he turned and walked away.

"We're done."

There was no fury, no lament-just a silent, final severing of the ties that once bound them.
