Chapter 123 I'm Not Sleeping with Him
This was what social humiliation felt like, wasn't it? Bella should've never agreed to that call with Dominic. Her
image was now thoroughly destroyed.

On their way to the destination, Bella asked Lia, trying to be subtle, "Lia, do | snore when | sleep?"
Liaglanced at Bella "Nope. You're a quiet sleeper. If anyone's snoring, it's probably me. My sinus problems were
acting up last night, Why? Did Dominic hear it? Let him hear it, then. It's not like I'm sleeping with him."
Bella sighed helplessly. Would it be too late now to explain to Dominic that she wasn't the one snoring? However,
if she brought it up, wouldn't that make her look like she was trying too hard?

When they reached the sunlit beach, they found a perfect spot to settle down. They weren't in a rush to hit the
water.
The heat from the sun simmered over the sand, the sky a deep blue above the glistening ocean. For Bella, this
was all new and exciting. She grew up in Joville, far inland, so this was her first tseeing the sea in real life. It
was nothing like the photos she had seen online. Here, everything felt vibrant, alive, and utterly real.
When Lie and Bella stepped out of the changing moms in their bikinis, Oscar's face turned beet red. He couldn't
even look at them.
Bella wore a light cover-up over her swimsuit and bought herself a coffee to wake up. However, she couldn't help
it and took a nap on a beach chair.
She woke to the noises of chatter and laughter all around. The beach had gotten busier, and there were women
in swimsuits everywhere, leaving Oscar hopelessly overwhelmed with where to look
Bella chuckded and nudged Lia. She suggested that they should change things up the next day. Maybe some
sightseeing so that Oscar could get something out of this trip besides the awkward beach moments.
They spent the rest of the day enjoying the beach. By the tthey returned to the hotel, exuustion had fully
taken hold. None of them even bothered with dinner before crashing into bed.
Bella was an early nser by nature. Since they had gone to bed so early, she found herself awale before dawn. Lia
was still fast asleep, snoting softly beside her. Feeling hungry, Bella made herself a plate of spaghetti and sat by
the window while gazing at the silent city outside. It was nothing like the bustling, lively scene from the day
before.
At this hour, the stillness gave the city a a strange kind of beauty-a sense of being the only one awake in a world
that had gone to sleep.
When she checked her phone, there were no missed calls or messages. She felt an odd mix of relief and
disappointment. Part of her had expected Dominic to text her. At the stime, it was a good thing he hadn't.
Maybe his interest had just been a fleeting whim, and that was probably for the best,
Suddenly, a woman's voice rang out from the hallway outside. "Please don't leave me! I'm begging you!
Bella was taken aback. This was a luxury hotel with good soundproofing. However, if someone was shouting right

pressed her ear against IL All she could make out was the sound of a woman's sobbing, followed by the heavy
slam of a door.
The crying continued for over 20 minutes. No other voices followed except for the stea
e steady sound of the woman's muffled sobs.
Lia shifted restlessly in her sleep. Bella steeled herself and cracked the door open. She saw a woman sitting on
the floor sobbing while being dressed to the nines. Her luxury handbag lay pitifully on the carpet beside her.
Hearing the door creak open, the woman quickly straightened and wiped her tears in a futile attempt to save her
dignity. However, she made no move to leave. Herlong, slightly tousled hair obscured most of her face, s tissues.

so Bellacouldn't get a good look at her. After a brief moment of hesitation, Bella passed her pack of
The woman accepted the tissues, her head still bowed. "Thank you."
Just as Bella was about to close the door, the door across the hall swung open, She froze for a moment when she
saw who it was. The nescaped her lips. "tan?"
