Requiem of a Broken Heart

Chapter 345:

Meanwhile, inside Brian’s office, Tracy’s eyes shimmered with unshed tears, looking as if the slightest movement would make them spill over. She wore an expression of pure grievance as she said, “Brian, I’m so sorry. I know my presence is causing problems. Rachel doesn’t want me here… she doesn’t want me near you. After everything that happened today, maybe it’s best if I leave on my own.”

Brian’s voice sharpened with frustration. “Leave? And then what? Where exactly do you think you’ll go?”

Tracy didn’t know what to say. The truth was, her family had already abandoned her. The gap between them seemed impossible to fix. They had no intention of forgiving her, and she wasn’t about to lower herself to beg for their kindness.

She had been back for so long, yet not once had anyone from her family checked in on her. Not a single call, not a single word of concern. Their silence spoke volumes—they must despise her. And going back abroad? That would only be a different kind of prison. Tracy bit her lip, looking vulnerable. “If it comes to that, I’ll just go back abroad. I can take care of myself.”

Brian’s expression darkened. “Back abroad? Have you seriously forgotten what that man did to you? You’d be walking right into danger again.”

Brian exhaled heavily. “You can’t rely on luck forever. And I won’t always be there to pull you out of trouble.”
