An Understated Dominance
âEvidence? Where is it?â Dahlia was taken aback.
âItâs with me now.â It appeared that Dustin came prepared, as he took out two pieces of evidence.â These are the autopsy results. This can prove that James was poisoned to death. While this black. needle is the murder weapon.â
âWhat?â Dahlia examined it curiously.
Dustin added, saying, âIf you donât believe me, you can get it tested personally.â Although he had the evidence, it would be hard to convince her without finding the murderer.
âNo need for that. I believe you.â Dahliaâs expression was solemn. âTo be honest, I know that youâre not the murderer and that this has all been a misunderstanding.â
Dustin smiled. âIâm happy that you think that way.
âIâm sorry for misunderstanding you. But please understand, I had no other choice. My brotherâs death has left me in pain. I feel so lost, and I donât know what to do. Iâm scared⦠Iâm scared that I will lose you too. Iâm scared that we will become enemies. Iâm scared of being alone, I As she spoke, her eyes turned red. She lowered her head and choked back her tears. Her teary appearance looked pitiful; anyone who saw her would pity her.
âItâs alright. Itâs all in the past now.â Dustin patted her shoulders in comfort. His actions seemed to shatter all her reservations, and she threw herself into his arms, her sobs intensified. She trembled uncontrollably as a steady stream of tears flowed down her cheeks. Dahlia finally released all the pent-up emotions that she had suppressed for so long.
Dustin sighed. With both arms wrapped around her in an embrace, he inched closer to her and whispered words of comfort into her ear. âItâs okay to cry. Itâll be alright once you cry it out. Oh, by the way, I have a secret to tell you. To be honest, I really did kill your brother.â
âWhat?â Dahlia froze, and she looked up in shock. âWha-what did you just say?â
âYou didnât hear me? Let me repeat myself, then. I murdered your brother!â Dustin declared as he
smiled.
After a momentary daze, Dahlia shook her head furiously. âNo, it canât be! You must be lying! How could you be the murderer? I donât believe you!â
âI couldnât bear to continue deceiving you, especially when I see you crying so miserably. So I thought Iâd just tell you the truth,â Dustin said calmly.
âDustin, stop joking! Youâre not that kind of personâ Dahlia denied it flatly.
âDo you really know me?â Dustin countered.
âWhy? Werenât you collecting evidence?â Dahlia frowned.
âI was just playing with you. But Iâve lost interest, so I decided to reveal my cards.â Dustin. shrugged his shoulders.
âSo, you were the one who killed my brother?â Dahlia was enraged.
âThatâs right. Iâm the murderer. What do you plan on doing now Dustin gave her a vague:
âIâm going to kill you!â-In her fury, she took out a dagger and aimed it toward Dustinâs throat.
A slap rang out as Dustin struck Dahlia mercilessly, causing her to fall to the floor. The dagger slipped from her grasp and clattered onto the ground as well.
âYou-!â Dahliaâs face was disfigured. She was about to get up when Dustin grabbed her by the throat and pinned her against the wall.
âUgh-â Dahlia gasped for breath, and her face flushed red. She struggled to free herself but to no avail. Dustinâs grip was like an iron vice that clamped tightly around her neck.
âHow are you planning on avenging your brother with your meager strength?â With just one hand, Dustin lifted her off the ground.
âW-why?â Dahlia was aghast. She never expected Dustin to suddenly turn hostile and forget about their past relationship. She could even see the intent to kill in his cold eyes.
âWhy? You should ask yourself that.â Dustin sneered coldly. âIs it fun playing such childish tricks in front of me? Are you tired of living?â
âWhat nonsense are you spouting? Have you gone crazy?â Dahlia was shocked and afraid.
âSo, youâre not going to admit it? Alright, two can play at this game!â Dustin snorted and reached. out his hand. With a forceful tug, Dahliaâs clothes were torn into shreds and revealed her enticing. voluptuous figure. She looked extremely provocative.
