Dominic narrowed his eyes. "You should get rid of the baby as soon as possible, then. Don't give anyone an opportunity to run any DNA tests. Otherwise, your slander won't work."
Rosa had also realized that her ideas were nothing more than empty words. The minute she said it out loud, she knew it wouldn't work.
"I wish I never met you, Ian." She turned to leave with no hesitation.
After she walked out of the door, Ian lit a cigarette. He looked irritated. He couldn't pretend to be relaxed anymore.
Since Dominic knew him very well, he understood how he felt. "At least you're sending her back to your father safe and sound. It's better if this matter can be resolved without any issues. Blowing this out of proportion won't do your family any good either."
Ian didn't respond. He put his cigarette out and walked away. He was going to look for Rosa. He was still worried that she'd endanger her own life. Despite everything, they used to be in a relationship, after all.
He knew he wasn't a good partner. He used to be terrible at relationships. He owed everything to Rosa. This was the last thing he was going to do for her.
…
Around 8:00 pm, Dominic made his way to Bella's home.
After opening the door for him, Cara handed him a set of keys to the house. "I got you your own set of keys, Mr. Miller. You can just unlock the door on your own the next time you drop by. The knocking makes me and Ms. Jones nervous."
He pocketed the keys and nodded. Then, he looked at Bella, who was currently nestled on the couch.
She didn't look at him. Her eyes were focused on the book she was reading. It seemed as though she was no longer interested in him.
He changed into a pair of house slippers before taking a seat next to her. "You should go to bed soon."
