Chapter 86


    Chapter 86 Apologize


    I looked at Camille dumbfounded. I could not believe that even after five years, I still had not learned my


    lesson. I fell into her trap again.


    She began acting all goody two shoes. While holding my arm, she started persuading Dominic, “Dom,


    don’t misunderstand Liliana. I’m sure she didn’t mean any of that. S-she must’ve been too excited.


    After all, we haven’t met for five years, haven’t we?”


    Like hell I’m excited!


    I shrugged off her hands before turning to meet Dominic’s frosty stare. Although I had said those words


    out of spite, was he really in any position to be angry at me? He was the one who left me back then.


    “Ahh!” Meanwhile, Camille staggered a few steps back before copsing to the floor. Dominic reacted


    quickly and managed to let her fall into him.

    “Are you ok?” He was visibly concerned.


    “I’m fine. Don’t worry about it.” She did not forget to y the victim while in his arms.


    Finding her act repulsive, I tried to squeeze my way out. But before I could walk any further, I felt a sharp


    jerk on my arm.


    “Where do you think you’re going?” Dominic was grabbing me tightly.


    Where? Does he expect me to continue watching them?


    Not turning back, I answered, “Let go. Where I go is none of your business. Besides, don’t you have


    more important things to do now?”


    “Apologize before you go.”


    What a ridiculousmand! I turned around and red at him. “Why should I?”


    “Shouldn’t you apologize for your rude behavior? Camille was just greeting you nicely.” His grip


    tightened, sending a throbbing pain up my arm. He then let go of Camille and pushed me firmly against


    the wall.


    “Enough is enough! I’m not going to apologize to her. Not even in your dreams!”


    “Really? Then let’s settle all our scores once and for all. Both old and new.”


    I averted my gaze. Despite our close proximity, I could sense how distant we were.


    “Dom, forget about it. I’m fine. We’re all friends so there’s no need for an apology.” Faking a concerned


    look, Camille tugged at his sleeves gently. I could not help butugh in disbelief.


    Dominic was furious. “Why are youughing?” I felt my arm going numb from his sheer force.


    “Nothing. Mr. Hartnell, consider me blind. I shouldn’t go around messing with people I can’t afford to. I’ll


    stay far away and never appear in front of both of you again.”


    Just as thest word escaped my mouth, I felt his fingers dig deep into my arms. Any harder and my


    bones would dislocate. Yet, my pride got the better of me. I could not let him win. I held back the pain


    and shed him a look of triumph.


    “I dare you!” Immediately after, he turned toward Camille. “Let’s cancel dinner. I’ll make it up to you


    another day.”


    With that said, he dragged me out. I could not believe how unreasonable he was. How ridiculous it was


    to leave his fiancée there alone just to settle scores with me!


    I nced back and saw the color having drained off Camille’s face. I could tell she was holding back her


    anger but she still managed to force a smile before proiming, “Don’t worry. I’m sure you two have lots


    of catching up to do after five long years.”


    Ugh. How generous. But wait, what does she mean by five years? Is she unaware that Dominic and I


    have been in contact with each other?


    Just as I was being dragged across the floor, Dominic came to an abrupt halt, causing me to bump into


    his back.


    I looked up to see Nichs blocking the path. He tilted his head and smiled at me.


    “Let’s go back. The dishes have been served.” He walked around us, held my free hand, and led me


    back to his private room.


    Instantly, I felt an even greater force from my other arm. Dominicmanded, “Let go.” I could sense


    bloodthirst from his voice.
