Requiem of a Broken Heart

Chapter 48

Chapter 48:

Inside the vehicle, Ronald glanced carefully at the man in the leather backseat and tentatively asked, “Are we heading back?”

“Hold here for a moment.”

Brian didn’t roll down the window until he could no longer see Rachel’s silhouette fading into the distance. When he did, a burst of crisp air flowed in, slightly refreshing his thoughts.

A thought crossed his mind—he might be losing his sanity.

He and Rachel hadn’t exchanged words in a week, yet a sense of unease lingered within him. For instance, returning to a silent, empty home without the usual greeting unnerved him. Or the nights spent missing the soothing warmth next to him in bed.

This evening, after a long day at work, he had impulsively boarded an overnight flight just for a brief glimpse of her. Upon discovering she was still at her office late, he had driven there directly.

What he witnessed unsettled him.

Trey was walking her home, his coat draped around her shoulders. She seemed unbothered by it, actually quite at ease.

The scene gnawed at Brian, replaying in his thoughts and aggravating his mood. Jealousy began to creep in.

“Ronald, check the hotel for any available food. Order something for her and send it up with a bottle of red wine,” he instructed sharply.

Ronald wore a confused expression. “Should I send it to Ms. Marsh?”

Brian gave him a stern glance. “Who else would it be for?”

“Yes, of course. I’m just unsure about the red wine.”

Brian’s eyes grew intense. “She always gets hungry after working late. Hunger keeps her from sleeping. A glass of red wine will help her unwind and sleep soundly.”

With that, Ronald rushed to the hotel reception and carried out the order efficiently.
