Chapter 161

• Dominic felt restless, as if his heart and liver were being scratched. The first thing he did upon opening his eyes was to reach for his phone. The screen lit up clean as a blank sheet of paper, with not a single new message. This confirmed that despite calling Alessia several times last night, she hadn't replied to any of his messages.
• His heart was engulfed by a profound sense of loss, causing his brows to furrow even tighter. Long lashes cast shadows as he tapped on his phone screen with his slender, jade-like fingers, ultimately convincing himself.
• Forget it, he'd forgive her for not replying, considering how much she liked him.
