The Almighty Dominance

Chapter 437

"Heinrich, you're incredible!" someone called out, and the crowd erupted with cruel approval. Murmurs rippled through the room, sharp and cutting.

"Smart move," one man said under his breath.

"She's pathetic," another sneered. "Crying over a man who's already done with her."

"She's drowning in emotions-feelings make people stupid," a third added with a laugh.

"Look at her, humiliated in front of everyone. I'd love to meet her father... to see what kind of man could raise a daughter this foolish. Absolutely shameful."

"Now, Sofina," Heinrich said, straightening his suit, his tone polite as a blade. "I'm done wasting time. Leave this banquet. I don't want you humiliating Katarina-or everyone here with your presence. You reek of poverty."

"You never loved me, did you?" Sofina whispered. Her faith cracked-not from disbelief, but from believing too much.

"I loved you," Heinrich said.

"But only when you were useful when you gave me your money, your body, your time. Back then, I really did love you, Sofina."

"You made my life comfortable. You paid for my future. You carried me up." He smiled faintly, the kind of smile that hurt more than a slap. “But now? You're broke. You're empty. You have nothing left worth loving."

He tilted his head, his voice heavy with mock pity. "And now you call me cruel? Don't pretend you're the victim here you killed whatever we had. You stopped loving me first. You stopped giving. You stopped serving."

"But Heinrich!" Sofina's voice cracked as she cried out. "I have nothing left to give!"

"Then that's your fault!" he hissed, leaning in until his breath brushed her ear. His tone was low, poisonous.

"Don't twist this into some tragic love story. If you truly loved me, you would've found something-anything-to keep me. But you stopped. You ran dry. And that, Sofina..." He smiled cruelly. "...that's your mistake, not mine."

Sofina's mind blurred. His words twisted everything-truth, memory, love—until none of it made sense anymore.

Only when the dream finally shattered did she notice her sleeves were soaked - not from rain, but from her own tears.

"Heinrich." Katrina stepped forward, calm but cold. "I told you I don't want that woman anywhere near my banquet. Handle it."
