Break the Bond With My Love Novel – After hanging up on our mother, Felix dialed another number and bellowed, “Who told you to actually rape her? You’re not getting another cent!” “What? Do you want more money? Dream on! Believe me, I’ll have you thrown in jail!” I didn’t know what was said on the other end, but Felix hung up and punched the doorframe.
His eyes were red as he turned to me. I looked away and walked back into the police station. Not long later, Felix pushed the door open and came in. Looking at the officer taking my statement, he asked, “Is there surveillance where my sister was assaulted?” The officer looked up in confusion. “Your sister just withdrew her case.
Do you want to reopen it?” Felix snapped his head toward me, only to find a faint smile on my face. “Let it go, Felix. I don’t want this to spread. I’m not even married yet.” His eyes instantly welled up with tears, and he pulled me into his arms. “Grace, I’m sorry,” he sobbed.
At this point, I didn’t care about my reputation. I was only afraid that if those people got arrested, Felix would get dragged into it. After all, in this family, Felix was the only one who had ever given me warmth. Before Hazel moved in, my two brothers and father all doted on me. Whenever my strict mother scolded me, they would always stand up for me. But after Hazel arrived, everything changed.
Felix drove me home. As soon as we stepped inside, I saw everyone sitting neatly on the couch, waiting for me. They had changed out of the fancy outfits they wore in the photo. My mother was the first to rush up to me, grabbing my hand and sobbing.
If she hadn’t been so cold and distant toward me all these years, I might have actually believed she truly cared about me. “Grace, Mom feels awful.” My other brother, Osian Parrish, also came over. “Grace, I heard you withdrew the case. Are you really not going to pursue it?” I could hear the need for confirmation in his tone and couldn’t help but feel bitter. So, the whole family knew about it. I nodded.
At that moment, my father stepped out from behind my mother, speaking cautiously, “Grace, it’s been a long night. You must be hungry. Let me make you some pasta.” I hadn’t shed a single tear since learning the truth, but at his sincere concern, my tears poured down like rain.
I was about to step forward and hug him when my mother’s scolding voice cut through the air. “All you ever think about is food! Like a damn glutton!” My father immediately flinched, muttering hesitantly, “I’ll warm up some milk for her… so she can get a good sleep.” With that, he turned and went straight into the kitchen.
My father had married into this family and spent his whole life being suppressed by my mother. I was sure he had strongly opposed her plan to hurt me, but with his timid nature, he never had a say in anything. I signaled for everyone to take a seat, preparing to tell them about my terminal cancer. “I don’t think I’ll be able to manage the company anymore.
I have-” Before I could finish, Hazel interrupted me, clinging to my arm with a fake display of affection. “Grace, I just graduated from university. My Godmother said I should join the company to help out. Don’t worry. I’ll manage everything well. You just focus on resting.” I discreetly withdrew my arm and was about to continue, but my mother spoke over me again.
