Requiem of a Broken Heart

Chapter 198

Chapter 198:

“You’re just too easygoing and never cause trouble. If it were me or anyone else in that situation, we’d be making a fuss, calling our boyfriends to come running,” Natalia said casually, but Rachel felt a sting.

Her chest tightened, as if she had just been hit with an uncomfortable truth she had been avoiding for years.

It was painfully obvious. Even Natalia, who barely knew the details, had picked up on it.

Brian had chosen her because she was quiet and agreeable—someone who wouldn’t stir up trouble. She had no powerful family, no safety net. If he ever decided he was done with her, cutting ties wouldn’t cost him a thing. No backlash, no consequences—just a clean break, as if she had never been there.
