Requiem of a Broken Heart

Chapter 689:

“Brian…” Doris whispered, her eyes filling with tears. She was completely shocked.

Brian’s eyes were cold. His voice had no warmth. “Doris, I’ve always treated you like my sister. I’ve spoiled you, protected you, and never hurt you. But today… you’ve let me down.” His voice shook with anger.

“Rachel was your sister-in-law. I know you never liked her. You thought she took my attention away from you. I let you act spoiled because I saw you as family. But how could you say something so cruel? How could you curse her like that?”

Doris stared at him, stunned.

Covering her face with one hand, she raised her voice, almost shouting. “Brian, wake up! You’re not thinking straight. This isn’t me being cruel. Rachel is really gone. I know you don’t want to believe it, and I know it hurts, but it’s the truth. No one can change that. She’s been gone for three days, not just a few hours.

She’s not coming back. You have to face it, no matter how much it breaks you.”

She broke down, pleading, “Please, Brian. I’m begging you!”
