Married To My Billionaire Stepbrother

Chapter 425

Chapter 418: Suicide

At the Riverdale estate, in the deep of the night, something happened.

Justin, who had just managed to fall asleep, received a call from Lana. The moment he heard what she said, he stormed out of bed and rushed downstairs.

In the drawing room, he found Noah already out of the guest room and speaking with Lana.

"What do you mean you don’t know where she’s gone?" Noah raised his voice at her.

Justin reached them. "Did you search carefully?"

"She left on her own, Mr. Aiden," Lana said as she handed him a note. "She left this behind."

Justin and Noah read the note while Lana explained, "She was sleeping soundly the last time I checked, before I dozed off. She showed no signs of what she was planning."

-----

The note read:

Dear Brother,

I’m sorry for leaving like this, and I’m sorry for becoming your weakness when I’ve been no help to you.

I know you’re marrying that woman because of me, but I don’t want you to. She’s not a good person.

You’ve been a good brother to me, so I wanted to be a good sister to you and this is the only way I found.

By the time you’re reading this, I’ll already be gone. Don’t worry about me. I’m a master at sneaking out.

This time, I won’t be caught. I’ll leave this place and go far away, somewhere no one can find me.

Please don’t waste your time searching for me. Just imagine me somewhere, happy and free, watching my favorite view of the starry sky.

Though we’re not related by blood, I will always think of you as my real brother, my only family. Thank you for letting me experience the care and love of a family, even if just once in my life.

I wish you all the happiness in the world.

Take care, Brother.

—Meira
