Crushed Affections

Dominic pinned her down easily.

He then whispered some embarrassing things in her ear. "Didn't you say that you didn't love me anymore? Didn't you say you no longer held the same passion you had for me back then?"

At that moment, Bella truly believed that he had lost it. He had always been a cold and stern man, so how could he say such things?

She tried her best to turn to look at him, but everything before her turned into a blur, and she could no longer see anything clearly.

Once the passionate session was over, it was almost 10:00 pm.novelbin

Bella lay in her bed, unmoving. She didn't want to talk to Dominic as she looked at him with resentment.

He could only accept her silent resentment as he got down to make them some food.

Hearing sounds coming from the kitchen, Bella was slightly confused. Was he cooking? She couldn't really believe it, but when she remembered how he could cook a steak, she assumed he knew a thing or two. It wasn't too bad having him serve her every once in a while. She never thought that steak would be the only thing he knew how to cook.

When it was time for them to eat, she looked at the food on the table in shock. Every dish looked like it had been doused in poison, and there wasn't any color to them.

The rice was the only thing that looked decent, but that was made with her rice cooker...

She nibbled on her fork and suggested, "Why don't I make us some pasta? I don't want the two of us to be sent to the emergency department during the holidays..." Dominic frowned, looking unconvinced and dissatisfied. "How would you know if you haven't even tried it yet? Are you looking down on my cooking?"

She didn't want to dampen his

enthusiasm for cooking. It was

already a miracle that he was willing to cook for her. So, she braced

herself and tried one of the dishes

that she couldn't identify.

A weird taste immediately spread out in her mouth, but she held back her tears and smiled. "It's not too bad. Why don't you give it a try?"

His frown went down, and he was seemingly satisfied with her compliment. However, he immediately threw all of the food into the trash after taking a bite.

He quickly said, "You can go and make the pasta. I'll drink some water and recover."

Bella was in stitches from holding her laughter in. If she had forgotten all of the times he had wronged her, then spending time with himdike she did today wasn't too bad.

After finally settling their dinner, Bella wrapped herself in a blanket as she sat on the couch to watch her TV shows.

Dominic sat beside her and

embraced her in his arms, wanting to share the blanket with her. She had tried to complain and break free. However, she ended up giving in and letting him have his way.

She figured he was just bored because of the holidays. Once the holidays ended, he'd probably be too busy to bother her.

She would be able to bear it if it was only for a few days.
