Noticing the tears in her eyes, he asked softly, "Are you crying?"

Bella tried to hide her feelings and turned her head. "No, I'm just going back to sleep."

Dominic's anger went away, and he said seriously, "You can stay at Lia's place for now. When Amber leaves, you

any trouble."

He seemed to know Amber well, which made sense since they had been together for two years.

Bella's voice was flat. "So, you chere just to tellnot to go back hnow? Why go through all this

Back in the apartment, Bella stood by the window and looked down. Seeing his car still there made her heart

before? Why did he have to spark even the smallest hope in her heart, which had already turned cold?

Early the next morning, Bella was jolted awake by Lia's loud yelling. She hadn't slept well and had dark circles

under her eyes. "What's going on? Can't | get ten more minutes of sleep?"

Lia shook her awake and shoved her phone in her face. "Wake up and look at this!"

Blinking groggily, Bella saw a notification for a large transfer on the phone. "What's this? Did someone send you

money?"

Lia said, "It's from Dominic! He even senta message saying thanks for taking care of you. It's like he's

Lia looked frustrated. "I want to return it, but he said not to. If he's being this generous now, who knows what

he'll send next-maybe a house?"

Bella rolled her eyes. "Forget it. Just keep the money and use it. I'm going to work. I'm exhausted..."

At the hospital, Bella couldn't stop feeling uneasy about the money Dominic had sent. Was he trying to make up

for not letting her go back to Miller Manor?

He didn't need to. The manor was his place, and she chose to leave. Just because she had lived there for years

didn't mean she had any right to stay. Dominic didn't owe her anything.

After her morning work, Bella was too tired to go out for lunch, so she ordered takeout.

While she was unpacking her food, she heard the click of high heels and smelled Amber's strong perfcoming

into the office.

Bella frowned and thought, "What's she doing here now?"
