Chapter 15
Dominic stood in the psychiatric hospital corridor, the cold fluorescent lights stretching his shadow.
He still clutched the documents detailing all of Stella’s crimes–embezzlement, commercial fraud, deliberate harm, even including her meticulous planning of Emma’s torture.
The hospital room door opened, revealing Stella huddled in the corner, her face still bandaged from self–inflicted
wounds.
She looked up at Dominic, a flicker of hope crossing her eyes: “Dominic… have you come to save me?” She crawled forward a few steps, but her weakened body couldn’t support the movement.
Stella collapsed on the floor, filthy and desperate, her fingers clutching Dominic’s pant leg.
Dominic didn’t answer, just slowly crouched before her, still looking down at her with glacial eyes. His voice was leep and eerily calm: “Stella Reed, do you know why I’ve come here?”
Stella trembled, shaking her head as tears fell: “I… I know I was wrong, I truly regret everything…”
‘Regret?” Dominic laughed coldly, throwing the documents before her. “Is this your idea of ‘regret‘?”
Stella glanced at the files, her face instantly draining of color. She shook her head frantically: “No, I didn’t do these hings! Someone is framing me!”
Dominic! Believe me… please believe me…”
Framing you?” Dominic leaned forward, gripping her chin with enough force to nearly crush it. “You think I’d still elieve your lies?”
He released her, pulling out a handkerchief to wipe his hands, his face filled with disgust.
his gesture pierced Stella’s eyes like a dagger. Her pupils contracted sharply as she lunged at Dominic, only to be icked away.
anding hard, she screamed hysterically: “Dominic Chase! You can’t treat me like this! I loved you so nuch–everything I did was all for you!”
For me?” Dominic’s gaze turned completely cold. “You destroyed everything between Emma and me only for your wn selfish desires. Was that for me?”
If that’s the case, then it’s my turn to do something for you.”
He turned to the doctor at the door, nodding: “From today, her treatment plan will be under my personal
upervision.”

Chapter 15
The doctor respectfully presented a new medical chart. Dominic opened the first page, which read: [Patient #0487, Treatment Protocol: Electroshock Therapy, Chemical Restraint, Lifetime Confinement.]
Stella struggled frantically: “No! You can’t do this to me! Dominic Chase, I curse you! I curse you to never receive Emma’s forgiveness!”
Dominic left the room without looking back, Stella’s heart–rending screams following him.
He stood in the corridor, lighting a cigarette, his expression unreadable through the smoke.
His assistant approached cautiously: “Mr. Chase, as instructed, we’ve frozen all the Reed family assets. Stella’s parents are under surveillance, ensuring they have no possible way of locating Ms. Ree… I mean, the patient.”
Dominic acknowledged with a quiet “mm,” then added: “Leak her embezzlement to the media. I want her name completely ruined.”
As his assistant departed, Dominic extinguished his cigarette, gazing at the night sky through the window.
He knew such revenge couldn’t possibly balance what Emma had suffered, but at least Stella would never harm anyone again.
