"What do you want coming here?" her lover asked coldly. Bella tried to control her breath. It still felt tight, making it difficult for these words to come out."Don't avoid me. If there's a problem, let's settle it properly. Isn't that what you always say?" Bella asked.Jullius snorted. "Are you deaf or something? Have you gone senile?"THUMP!Jullius's words were piercing. "I've told you there's nothing to talk about. Why do you keep repeating? You're such an idiot," Jullius said, pointing at Bella's face.Even when Bella cried, her tears flowing like a river, they meant nothing to Jullius."Tch!" He scoffed."I'm sick of seeing you always crying like this, Arabella. You're the weakest, most pathetic woman I've ever met. Are you aware of that? Aren't you ashamed?" Jullius asked.Jullius could see Bella's tightly clenched fists. She bit her lips to prevent the sobs from escaping, but it seemed pointless. Jullius could still hear them.He snorted. "There's nothing you want to say, rig

"I have aborted your fetus," he said lightly, as if it were not wrong. Especially with that emotionless gaze. While Bella was silent, unable to say anything for several seconds before the Woman responded."W-what?" Her voice stuttered, choked in her throat. And now her chest felt very painful, tight. She struggled to breathe. Tears continued to flow from the corner of her eyes, not stopping like a river.And Julius just stayed silent. Not moving at all. His gaze remained the same. Without emotion. No intention to calm Bella even a bit.Creak.Until Damian arrived, Julius turned his head back. Julius and Damian stared at each other for a few seconds before Damian approached her."Bella, drink this first," Damian said. Damian knew Bella must be feeling very shattered. But Bella adamantly refused the kindness Damian offered. Oh, no. Bella absolutely did not want to call it kindness. Damian must have had a role in making her like that."Get out of my sight," she said with pressure. Damian

"You sure, dear?" Lisa entered her room, looking very worried because Bella had finally decided to resume her activities.Bella turned her head back, looking at her mother and then smiled faintly. "Mom, I'm fine. You don't need to worry," Bella said.Lisa was about to speak, but Bella knew her mother would say something to stop her, so Bella quickly continued. "Moreover, I would be very sad if I continued to stay at home and not be active. I will always remember what I should forget."Lisa was stunned. What Bella said was true. So, the woman could only sigh. She could only surrender."Alright. Do you want me to take you?" Lisa asked.Bella shook her head. "No need. I'll just take the train."Lisa gave her permission. Now Bella was at the train station. She took a deep breath. "This is the new beginning, Bella. There's no use in being sad about what has been changed!" Bella recited those words to herself."You have to rise up! You are not a weak woman! Let's show that you will be happy

Damian doesn't like what he sees. On his phone are several photos of Bella with Brandon on campus and at the cafe. They look romantic, and Bella looks happy to be around Brandon.Damian sighs deeply. His hand gripping the phone tightens. Arabella's relationship with Jullius must not end like this. And he is determined to make sure it doesn't happen."I don't care if I have to defy the master's orders," he says firmly.***The next day, Brandon comes to pick up Bella. Bella looks surprised as Brandon is already standing in front of her car, he who was playing with his phone immediately shifts his gaze to Bella."Brandon?" she calls out, sounding confused.Brandon smiles at her. He approaches Bella. "Are you ready?" Brandon asks.Bella nods. "But I didn't ask you to pick me up. I was going to take the train," Bella says. Her words seem to politely reject Brandon's arrival. But Brandon is not offended."Right. This is my initiative," he replies. Creating more furrows on Bella's forehead.

"JULLIUS! STOP, I SAID!" Bella screamed, but Jullius ignored her. Bella knew his demeanor; Jullius wouldn’t stop until his opponent passed out or even dead! And Bella would not let that happen!Bella desperately grabbed Jullius’s shirt, which was untucked, with all her strength. And yes! She succeeded! But Bella had to stumble first, almost falling if Jullius hadn’t noticed and caught her.Thud!Jullius pulled Bella’s body until she was drawn into his embrace.“Aaaa!” Bella tightly shut her eyes. Her forehead creased, and her hands clenched in front of her chest.‘This scent.’It was the scent of Jullius's cologne, and she smelled it very clearly. Her eyes flew open, realizing something, and she pushed his body away.Her eyebrows nearly met, her teeth clenched with her mouth tightly closed. There was no gentleness in her gaze."Don't you ever dare touch me again," Bella said with emphasis. Hatred was clearly depicted in her eyes.Jullius's heart sank at those words. The flat expressio
