I was wearing only pajamas, but I didn't care anymore. After running out of the study, I opened the door and dashed out of the house. I don't want to be near him anymore. I don't care! He can do whatever he wants, and I just want to get out of here! “Liliana!” Dominic roared as he ran after her. I ran even faster after that. Instead of waiting for the elevator, I decided to take the stairs. Once I ran down to the eleventh floor, I turned around and realized he didn't catch up. That j*rk must have given up running after me for just a while. I knew I'm not that important to him, after all. I leaned against the wall and panted heavily, and I couldn't stop my tears from gushing down my cheeks.As I was wiping away the tears, I reprimanded myself. Why do I cry over a man who doesn't appreciate me? But somehow, I just took it very hard and couldn't stop crying. As I was making my way down to the first floor, I couldn't help but look around to check if Dominic was around. Sadly, he was nowhere to be seen. I knew I shouldn't expect too much of him, but I just couldn't help it. After opening the glass door, I got out of the lobby and walked along the gravel path. Upon touching my tear-stained cheeks, I pinched myself hard on the arm. Stop crying, Liliana! Don't think of him anymore! Before this, I could still put on an act, but since I had gone all out and confronted him, there was no turning back now. Like a lost soul, I continued wandering around the block in the middle of the night, but I had no idea where I was going.It was impossible for me to go to my rented place or get to Shannon's place on foot since they were miles away. The more I thought about it, the more I felt like crying again. It's all Dominic's fault. I wouldn't be wandering around on the street if it weren't because of him. Just when I got out of the block, a familiar car passed by and stopped right in front of me. It was Dominic's. On the one hand, I wanted him to look for me, but on the other hand, I desperately wanted to hide away from him. I'm such a hypocrite! Before he could get down from the car, I immediately started running in the opposite direction. But how could I, a woman with only a pair of legs, outrun a vehicle? Dominic made a turn and drove in my direction at full speed. When his car stopped right in front of me once again, I couldn't stop in time and knocked into the vehicle.Feeling utterly exhausted, I couldn't keep my balance and fell to the ground. Before I could try to stand up, Dominic walked over and squatted down right in front of me. He then grabbed me by my chin, and I could see a towering rage blazing in his eyes. “Are you crazy? Do you know I nearly knocked into you?” With all my might, I pushed his hand away and shoved him aside. “You're the crazy one! If you hadn't pulled the brakes right in front of me, I wouldn't have knocked into your stupid car!” He was the one who swerved his car in my direction. How dare he scream at me? Dominic inched closer, grabbed my shoulders, and pulled me up. He gave me a sullen glare and roared, “Why did you run away when we still haven't talked it out? And where do you think you're going? Look at the clothes you're wearing! You don't even have any money with you, for goodness sake!”Talk? What else is there for us to talk? I struggled to break free from his grip, but to no avail. I raised my head and gave him a murderous stare. “You want to talk it out? Fine! Let me say this loud and clear. You cheated on me with Camille. You two betrayed me! I don't owe the two of you anything!” I continued, “Go ahead and get married or go find someone to put on this act with you. It's none of my business anymore, so do whatever you want. I want you out of my life. You—” Before I could finish my sentence, Dominic caught me off guard by sticking his lips to mine. No matter how hard I pushed him, punched him, kicked him, and bit his lips, he refused to let me go. I could even taste his blood in my mouth. Once Dominic was done kissing, he pulled me into his arms. I resisted and tried to pull myself away from him. His trembling voice resonated above my head, and I could hear it loud and clear. “Don't you dare run away from me, Liliana. You can keep pushing and break my arm, but I'll never let you go.” Upon hearing that, I froze right there and stopped struggling. He knew I couldn't bear to do so, didn't he? In an aloof voice, I bellowed, “Who the hell do you think you are? Do you think I care about you and your stupid arm?” Dominic embraced me even more tightly. “Go ahead and break my arm then. You can easily break it since it hasn't fully recovered.” That remark hit me like a sledgehammer and made me feel bad. I held back my tears and said icily, “Stop playing games with me. Go and look for Camille and play this stupid acting game with her, since this is what she's good at.” Dominic, who was still clenching my arms, gently pulled me away from his embrace and gazed into my eyes. He looked at me with a grim expression and said in a trembling voice, “Why didn't you give me a chance to defend myself? How could you break up with me just because you thought I cheated on you? Does our love mean nothing to you?” I didn't want to shed a tear in front of him, but I couldn't hold it anymore. Tears started rolling down my cheeks, and I continued expressing my frustration. “Why should I? I saw it with my own eyes! Even Camille called me and thanked me for giving you up! Who are you to yell in my face when you're the one who did me wrong, and how dare you blame me?” Suddenly, a heavy downpour pelted down. I could not stop myself from shivering in the cold.
