Crushed Affections (Dominic and Bella)
Chapter 341 No Desire

Suddenly, Bella heard the doorbell ring and rushed over to open the door. She immediately saw Ethan standing there with some medication in hand.

"I heard that something happened in the hospital. Are you alright? I wasn't there at that time. Otherwise, I wouldn't have allowed them to hurt you."

Her mind began to buzz. Dominic was still in her home, and he was already in a bad mood.

He was also someone who tended to hold grudges, so there was a high chance that Ethan might end up taking the brunt of his anger.

She quickly said, "It's alright. I'm fine as I've already handled everything. Aren't you supposed to be at work today? Why are you here? You should head back to the hospital. I'm on leave today, so I won't be going back there."

Ethan was about to say something when Bella felt pressure from behind her. Immediately, she heard Dominic's voice coming from above her head. "Thank you for your concern about my girlfriend."

Ethan's expression became slightly awkward before his expression quickly returned to normal.

Then, he said, "It's alright. We're all colleagues here. Anyway, I'll be heading off first. You can keep the medication for yourself, Bella."

Bella awkwardly took the medicine, and as soon as Ethan left, Dominic immediately closed the door.

She could feel a chill run down her spine as she turned around and found herself face-to-face with him.

He leaned down, his breath warm on her cheek. "Can you keep those men around you at a distance? They're such an eyesore."

She gave him a forced smile. "He's just my colleague. It wouldn't be good to distance myself too much. Every workplace is like a small society, and I'll still have to interact with people."

Dominic sneered as he said, "He even said how he wouldn't have let anyone touch you if he had been there. I'd like to see how such a lanky man like him would stand up to those two crazy women from the Kleins. He'd better watch out, or they'd end up scratching his face. Not that there was much to look at to begin with."

Bella was feeling uncomfortable as Dominic was pressing her up against the wall. She reached out to push him away and said, "Could you move..."

He refused. "You'd better explain it to me properly, or I'll have you here right now!"

Bella was immediately filled with exasperation.

"What do you want me to say? I really don't have anything to do with him. My life is already difficult enough with how things are, so can't you cut me some slack?"

As soon as she finished speaking, he

bent down to kiss her roughly. The

thought of how swollen her face was made her want to cry. She couldn't even stand her current appearance, so how could he even bring himself to kiss her?

Bella gave in and waited for him to finish. Once he was done, she was slightly breathless as she said shyly, "You're impossible... If I didn't know you well enough, I'd think you're jealous because you actually like me. Honestly, I have a hard

every day. By the way, what are you planning to do with the Kleins?"

His expression darkened. "What else can I do? You'd better go and take care of your face. Looking at you now is just killing my desire." Bella was speechless.

Why did he kiss her just now if he did not have any desire? Was he just doing some improv? Did he kiss her to see how things would go?

Later at night, Bella received a continuous stream of apologetic messages. They were all from different numbers, but the contents were more or less the same.

They were all apologizing on behalf of Yelena's and Gloriana's actions.

Bella knew that these were just a trick from the Klein family. They weren't being sincere as they were just afraid of Dominic.

She tried to ignore those messages,

but the messages kept coming in. When she couldn't stand them anymore, she turned to Dominic and said, "Those people from the Klein family are so annoying. They can't do anything to you, so they've decided to try their luck with me. I don't even know how they managed to get my phone number."

Dominic took her phone and replied to one of the numbers. He wrote, "Dominic says that if any one of you continues to bother me, then the Klein family will only meet their end faster." His cruel words were effective as no one else came to bother her.

Since she now owed Dominic a favor, Bella wanted to show him her gratitude and appreciation.

That evening, she prepared a home-cooked meal for him. "I'm not as good as Sylvia, but this is my way of saying thank you for today."
