Shattered Longings Novel

Chapter 87 Thrilled

Bella hadn’t eaten all day, and after drinking so much last night, her empty stomach was bothering he

As soon as she walked in, she started yelling for food

Lrolled her eyes but still gave her a bunch of snacks. “What, Domink didn’t give you anything to eat? You’re coming here like a beggar. Nice job.”

Bella quickly tore into the snacks, eating while she told Lis everything that happened last night, even complaining a bit about how awful Sumon was.

Lahad heard some crazy stories before, but this one still surprised her. She put down her wood carving and looked at Bella with interest. This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

“Your dad’s a jerk, sure, but don’t you think, in some weird way, he actually helped you? If you hadn’t been so opset and drunk, last night with Dominic might not have happened. “And let’s be real–last night was different. At least he mentioned the word ‘girlfriend, right? Before this, you were just a hookup, nothing more.”

Bella couldn’t help but roll her eyes. “Seriously, you think I’m upset about Simon? He means nothing to me–wasn’t heartbroken at all what’s really driving me nuts is whether or not anything happened last night”

Lia replayed the audio message a few tows before giving her verdict. “You two definitely fucked last night. He sent you this so you can’t deny it later. It’s proot

“And let’s face it, waking up in his bed says it all. If he didn’t want anything to happen, he would’ve just dumped you back in your own room–it’s like, what, a few steps away? “And the way he stepped in to defend you when your dad and his wife were giving you a hard time? I’m starting to rethink my grudge against him.

“What’s there to stress about? Isn’t being his girlfriend exactly what you’ve always wanted? You’ve liked him for years, and now you’ve finally got him. You should be thrilled.” Thrilled? Bella fell silent. It wasn’t as simple as Liamade it sound. Sure, three years ago, being with Dominic was all she ever wanted. But now she wasn’t so sure. Shouldn’t only people who genuinely liked each other be together? She’d loved Dominic for years, but had he ever, even for a second, shown any real feelings for her?

The conversation in the audio clip lelt more like he was just humering her because she was drunk, not something serious

La couldn’t stand seeing her soupset. Tused to think Dominic didn’t hur you at all, maybe even hated you. But think about it–would a guy who really hates someone sleep with them so many times? Even if he started out wanting revenge, he might have developed feelings”

Bella replied quietly, “Some things can’t be changed.”

Lia sighed and said, “You just want to know if you and Dominie slept together last night, right? Let me ask him for you”

Before Bella could stop her, Lia grabbed her phone and sent Dominic a message, “Did we fuck last night?”

She added, “And were you serious about what you sad in the audio?”

By the time Bella realized what happened and took her phone back, the message was already sent. She stood there, stunned, and then yelled, “Lia!”

Tiscovered her ears playfully. “It cover my ears, I won’t hear you yell You were too scared to ask, so I did it. Now let’s wait for his reply.”

The next 25 minutes felt like forever in Bella, who was nervous and excited to sev Dominic’s response.

When the notification finally came, both of then jumped

Li said, “You check it I won’t peek”
