Drunk and Daring I Kissed a Tycoon novel Chapter 481

Now wasn't the time for a fight. The most important thing was getting Luke to move his foot so that Dominic and Vespera could leave. As for everything else, Vespera couldn't care less.

"Vespera, I would never hurt you. When you think about us, wasn't there more good than bad?" Luke asked, gazing deeply at Vespera.

He was trying to say that out of their eight years together, only the last one had gone to hell.

Vespera smiled and said, "Good or bad, it's all in the past now."

More good than bad? Digging into that would only trap her in a corner of her own making. She would wall herself in with memories and hold herself hostage with pain. She would start drowning in everything.

One couldn't stand still in love, and one couldn't walk backward. Trying to heal the present by clinging to the past never worked.

Luke finally stepped back, letting the elevator door slide shut. It felt like a chapter of Vespera's life had just closed with it, and she was moving up.

Vespera turned and glanced at Dominic. She truly was going up, but the higher she climbed, the colder it got.

With Luke, at least she knew where the bottom was. After all, she had already fallen through it once. Whatever happened, she could brace for impact.

But with Dominic, Vespera couldn't even imagine anything. He didn't even need to lift a finger to crush someone's world. His kind of power wasn't something one could mess with.

"Vera, what are you thinking about?" Dominic asked softly.

"I was wondering if I should have broth-and-grill with Becca tomorrow. She has been craving it, but it's so hot outside. I'm afraid my makeup will melt off," replied Vespera.

Dominic was rendered speechless. Just then, the elevator door opened, and Vespera stepped out immediately.

Any longer and he might have caught the flicker in her eyes. Just one second of eye contact with him was enough for him to read her like a book.

It was quiet in the living area. Raymond had already turned in for the night. Unless Dominic called for him, he wouldn't show. Even Snowball was curled up in its bed, fast asleep.
