Crushed Affections (Dominic and Bella)
Chapter 333 There's Nothing He Doesn't Dare to Do

The second Dominic entered her home, Bella immediately explained to him about the weird phone call she had just received. He seemed to be in deep thought before he asked, "Do you think they want me to end all of my collaborations with Victor?"

Bella shook her head. "I don't know. She only said those words. Weren't you unable to guess the reason behind Victor's real intentions in approaching you? Do you think there's a chance that he really has some ulterior motives?"

Dominic seemed to have his own opinion on the situation as he said, "You don't have to worry about that. All of my projects that are somewhat related to Victor will end in the first half of the year.

"If there really are any issues, I just won't work with him on any other projects. I'll also turn down any projects he tries to introduce. Even if he has any ideas, he won't be able to harm me in the next few months.

"Besides, that call might also just be from someone in the industry deliberately trying to cause trouble. I'll check and verify it myself.

"Victor has brought me benefits that no one else can match. I'm not inclined to give up such a valuable connection yet. Sometimes, taking certain risks might bring unimaginable rewards."

Bella calmed down and gave the situation some thought. His words did make sense, but she just couldn't help but panic after she received the phone call just now, afraid that he would fall into a trap.

But considering the fact that Victor had known Richard when he was alive, there was also a chance that he just wanted to help out the son of an old friend and had no other ulterior motives.

She calmed herself and reached her hand out. "Where are my keys?'

He took out her keys and placed them in her hands. "Here you go."

She looked at him suspiciously. "What did you do with my keys?"

He purposely avoided her question and said, "Nothing. Are we eating out tonight or staying in?"

She rolled her eyes at him. "There are a lot of ingredients in the fridge. I can't just let them all go to waste and throw them out. I'll go and cook. You can sit here and rest. You'll have to leave once you finish dinner. Don't even think about staying the night!" He sat back on the couch. "I wasn't planning on staying even if you wanted me to. I can't handle doing it every day either. You'd end up sucking me dry."

Bella was speechless.

She stormed into the kitchen and began chopping the vegetables aggressively, seemingly pretending that she was chopping him up instead. She had begun to suspect that he was mentally unstable.

His behavior toward her would switch constantly. When did it all start? It seemed to have started when he returned from abroad.

She was determined to study up on such conditions and help develop a cure for him one day!

Feeling bored, Dominic turned on Bella's laptop that was placed on the coffee table. He clicked on her search history, and his expression immediately darkened when he saw her searches. "Are sudden mood changes a sign of a mental disorder?"

"What are the symptoms of dissociative identity disorder?"

"Is someone considered to be a psychopath if their emotions become unpredictable?"

He slammed her laptop shut, rushed into the kitchen, and pinched the back of Bella's neck. "Do you really think I'm crazy?"

She was still holding a knife in her hand, and she was so shocked that she nearly threw the knife at him. "What are you doing?" He forced a smile and asked, "Am I a psychopath in your eyes?"

She murmured, "Are you not? You've broken up with me, yet you're still here doing certain things with me. You're either angry or happy at me. How is that any different from being a psychopath? I know you can't help yourself. It's alright. Just wait for me todo some research, and I help you with your treatment..."

Dominic was somewhat frustrated yet not that frustrated. He bent down to kiss her, sucking and biting her lips in revenge. His hands also began to roam around her body.

She quickly put down the knife in

breathlessly, "What is wrong with you?ll fight you here if you dare to touch me one more time!"

Her words seemed to be challenging him, to see if he dared to do so or not. However, there was nothing he did not dare to do.
