Requiem of a Broken Heart

Chapter 788:

“Alban, umbrella.” Allan’s voice came with quiet command. In an instant, his assistant stepped forward, shielding Rachel from the rain.

Feeling the sudden cover, Rachel turned slightly and offered a warm smile. “Allan, it’s just a drizzle. It’s really nothing.”

“Just stay put. I’ll hold it.”

As they got into the car, Rachel motioned for Samira to join them. Along the way, she made the introductions.

“Alban, could you do me a favor? I’ll need you to take Samira home tonight.”

“I’d love to.”

That evening, once Rachel was safely home, Samira placed a call. “Mr. White, I’m with Rachel now. There’s something I’m not sure if I should mention.”

“Don’t.” Brian’s reply was immediate, firm. “There’s no need to update me on her.”

“Understood. But there’s one exception. If she’s ever in danger, call me. No matter what time it is.”

After ending the call, a wave of emotion washed over Samira. She had witnessed firsthand the moments Rachel and Brian had shared—back when Brian had taken her for granted. By the time he realized what she meant to him, Rachel had already moved on. Love never waited.

For more than a month, Rachel hadn’t seen Brian. She assumed he had finally decided to honor his word. But fate had other plans.

They ran into each other at a conference—one organized by a third party, where both had been invited as guests.

If that first meeting had been a coincidence, Rachel let it slide. But when it happened again less than a week later, she couldn’t ignore the pattern.

After the meeting, she lingered by the entrance, waiting for him.

The moment Brian stepped outside and spotted her, his face lit up, but before he could say a word, Rachel cut in sharply. “Mr. White, you gave me your word. I expect you to keep it. Did you really think throwing together a meeting like this and staging a ‘coincidence’ would go unnoticed?”

She was no longer the naive girl he once knew.

“It’s not what you think.”

“I trust what I see with my own eyes. If you want me to believe you, then do as you promised—stay out of my sight.”

The conference entered its second day, and excitement filled the air. Word had spread that several prominent figures would be sharing their insights.

Rachel, eager for the experience, arrived early.

As soon as she took her seat, someone handed her the agenda for the day. But instead of reading it, she set it aside, preferring to be surprised.noveldrama
