Rebirth Into My Second Chance

Hannah was shielded by Richard, but I couldn't bring myself to hurt Richard, especially with Hannah taunting from behind him, "No one's going to punish me." Then, patting Richard on the shoulder, she said, "Richard, you did great, getting the jet ready in advance. Let's head out. Next time, Gotham City, we'll be back."

"I won't let you leave!" Could I really just stand by and watch the person who ended my life in the past life slip away right under my nose? Richard tried to give me a soft, reluctant smile. "Claire, make sure you eat well."

I shook my head.

"Don't go with her. As long as you haven't taken a life, you'll be alright. No matter how many years you spend in jail, I'll wait for you. Richard, Hannah's mistakes should be her own burden, not yours to carry."

I despised Hannah. She manipulated my brother.

"Claire, we owe her, and I should be the one to repay that debt." Richard said we owed her, but what did we owe her?

"We owe her nothing!" I tried to grab Richard's hand to stop him, but this time, he pulled away on his own.

"Claire, be good." Richard's demeanor was entirely different from the cold vibe he had this morning, as if he was saying goodbye. I couldn't help but raise my voice, "Richard, don't go with her. You're my brother. You can't leave me behind, or else I'll make her pay!" I knew I had lost my mind the moment those words left my mouth.
