On the night she died, it was shown that I was the last one she had called. That was why Dominic naturally assumed that I had angered Mdm. Miranda to the point she died.
The day Mdm. Miranda was laid to rest, Dominic forced me to kneel before her grave for 24 hours. The downpour was extremely heavy that day. I remembered making eye contact with him in the rain. There was nothing but hatred in his dull eyes.
He had told me, “Ophelia Burton, from today onward, you and I are mortal enemies.”
Since then, my status was reduced from Dominic’s lover to his biggest enemy. He hated me and constantly humiliated me, yet he refused to let me leave his side. To make things worse, he even brought women home to spend the night with them.
When Dominic noticed my reddened eyes, he smiled while patting my cheek mockingly. “Are you distraught, Ophelia? You caused this to happen. Who else can you blame but yourself?”
I tried to explain myself, only for Dominic’s actions to become more extreme. He never doubted the conclusion he drew simply because he knew that Mdm. Miranda disliked me. In fact, that woman had announced that she would never let me become a part of the Sharp family in this lifetime.
Because of that, Dominic had fought with Mdm. Miranda many times in the past. He even went as far as to cut all ties with the Sharp family just to be with me.
But to think that the woman he loved killed his own mother…
How could he possibly accept that?
After sending Isabelle off, Dominic finally recalled my existence. He unblocked my number as though it was the most benevolent thing he had ever done in his life. Then, he called my number with one hand while tapping on the steering wheel with the other.
A few moments later, I watched Dominic’s brows being knitted into a tight frown. He began slamming his hand onto the steering wheel, as though he was venting his frustrations.
“How dare you ignore my call, Ophelia! You really have a death wish, huh?”
But Dominic had no idea that I wasn’t ignoring his call at all. I could never pick up any of his calls again.
