The Almighty Dominance (by Sunshine) novel Chapter 331

Lyra stormed out into the open, chased closely by Sophia.

“Lyra! What the hell are you doing to Laura? I've never seen you like this before!”

Sophia had known Lyra for years. She'd always seemed kind, gentle even. This ruthless side was completely new and terrifying.

Ignoring Sophia, Lyra walked toward a nearby pond, plunging her blood-stained hands into the water.

She watched the blood swirl away and muttered, "You don't really know me, Sophia."

She moved slowly to a bench beneath a tree, pulled out a cigarette, and lit it.

“You told me you'd quit!” Sophia said, voice trembling with disappointment.

“I did quit,” Lyra exhaled sharply, blowing smoke into the sky.

“Three whole years. But today I broke it. I need this, Sophia.”

Sophia stared in disbelief, struggling to find words. “How—how can you shoot people like this?”

Lyra shrugged, her tone cool and distant. “I practice at a shooting range. I have licenses for all my guns.”

“You kill people, Lyra!” Sophia shouted, her voice cracking with emotion.

Lyra met Sophia’s eyes, confusion and something darker flickering across her face.

“Yeah. And honestly? It doesn’t bother me.”

“You're ending lives!” Sophia insisted desperately.

Lyra crushed her cigarette into the dirt, standing up slowly, eyes hardened with defiance.

“Sophia, I’ve never felt truly alive. This world, this life—it's hell for me. The only things that ever make me feel alive are money and…” She paused, her voice dropping softly.

Sophia held her breath, waiting anxiously for Lyra’s next words.

“Alex,” Lyra whispered.

“Alex?” Sophia repeated, stunned. Her voice barely more than a whisper.

“Yes, Alex,” Lyra admitted, eyes blazing with intense passion.

“I need you to know—I love Alex. He’s everything to me. And yes, he's your ex-husband, which makes me grateful, honestly. It means I don’t have to compete with you.”

“What?” Sophia gasped, reeling from shock. She’d never imagined Lyra—who once openly despised Alex—could possibly feel this way.

“You actually like him?”

Lyra sighed deeply, almost painfully.

“No, I don’t just like him, Sophia. I'm completely insane for him. He's my entire world. I’d die for him, without a second thought. And what Laura did—hurting Alex—that's unforgivable.”

Standing abruptly, Lyra’s voice hardened into chilling menace. “I have to go. I need to find a way to save Alex. Because if he dies—”

Her voice dropped to a deadly whisper, eyes blazing with fury.

“I'll drag the entire Montclair family straight to hell. I'll bury them so deep, nothing will survive—not their children, not their grandchildren. No one.”

Three or four hospital security guards suddenly rushed out from the entrance, some of them pointing at Lyra.

Without another word, Lyra stormed to her car, slammed the door shut, and sped away in a blur of dust and rage, leaving Sophia frozen and alone.

The security guards gave chase but failed to catch up to Lyra’s car.

“It’s not fair,” Sophia murmured, her voice weak and shaky.

Just when she thought she could easily win Alex back—because he'd always loved her—everything changed.

Alex had grown distant, and everyone around her was suddenly falling desperately in love with him.

But now, she realized, she had no choice. She had to help save Alex.

And the only hope she could cling to was Laura—Laura, who might still be willing to save Alex in exchange for healing Mr. Montclair.

Sophia trudged back down the hospital corridor, her steps heavy and burdened, her thoughts fixed solely on finding Rudiyard.

But when she reached his room, her breath caught in shock.

Beside Rudiyard's bed was a new patient—Laura. She was dressed in hospital clothes, clearly just treated for an injury on her stomach.
