Requiem of a Broken Heart

Chapter 892:

Rachel no longer felt the bitterness she once had toward Brian. There was no anger, no resentment.

But when it came to the idea of loving him or living with him… she just couldn’t. Not all wounds would fully heal, and some scars would stay with her forever. Her heart had long since hardened. She had lost the capacity to love, and Brian shouldn’t waste his time on her.

“We’re just colleagues now. It’s the second year of the three-year agreement, and once it’s up, I’ll leave his company. As for you, Lizzie, you’ve grown so much in the past two years. You don’t need me to protect you anymore. You’re strong on your own now. So, when this three-year period ends, I plan to follow my dreams and finally live for myself.”

She already knew the path she wanted to take. She was just waiting for the agreement to be over.

No matter what, since Brian had saved the Vance Group, she would honor the agreement.

A year was neither too long nor too short.

On the third anniversary of Allan’s passing, Rachel’s three-year agreement with Brian was nearing its end, with just a little over a month left.

That day, she had just returned from overseas after wrapping up a major project.

The client had been notoriously difficult to handle, but after all the time she’d spent working with Brian, she’d learned the ropes. She had the experience to keep things running smoothly, despite the challenges.

Originally, Rachel had planned to return the day before the anniversary.

But the client had postponed the meeting at the last minute. After several rounds of tense negotiations that seemed to lead nowhere, the entire deal was delayed far beyond expectations.

As soon as the contract was signed and finalized, Rachel quickly began packing her things.noveldrama

She checked her phone and, thanks to the time difference, realized she still had enough time to catch a flight back home the next day.

However, when she went to book her ticket, she found that there were no available flights for the next few hours.

Despite the setback, she wasn’t ready to give up just yet.

She packed her belongings and started preparing to head to the airport anyway.

The day had already been long and tiring, filled with meetings, and now, outside, it had begun to drizzle.

She didn’t feel like going back upstairs to grab an umbrella, so she used her bag to cover her head and prepared to hail a cab.

Just as she was about to step outside, she felt someone take hold of her wrist.

A warm, comforting presence surrounded her.

“I’ll go with you,” Brian said, holding a long black umbrella above their heads.

Rachel glanced at him, a small frown forming. “Do you even know where I’m going?”
