Love Unbreakable by Bank Brook

“Go abroad? What about my grandparents? Can they handle it?” Callie remembered the challenges they faced when they moved abroad during her childhood.

The struggles her grandparents had gone through just to adjust to the new environment were still vivid in her mind.

“I’ll take you abroad first, and later with your grandparents.

Don’t worry.

I’ll arrange for someone to look after them.

They won’t suffer,”

Brett explained, trying to calm Callie down.

If Callie had held any hope before, it was now crushed.

She realized she wasn’t simply moving abroad.

They were fleeing.

And they wouldn’t be leaving through conventional means.

Callie’s faith in her father was shattered, and she struggled to accept that her father, whom she had always looked up to, could be involved in something so grave.

“Dad, why… Why do you have to do this? Nicole’s parents have always been so kind to us.

They’re good people.

Why…”

Callie sobbed.

She wished she hadn’t uncovered the truth.

Now, filled with regret, her heart ached painfully.

She was no different from her father.

Nicole had saved her, yet she had tipped off her father to allow his escape.

She too was ungrateful.

“Callie! Calm down!” Brett scolded loudly.

His daughter was too compassionate.

If she continued down this path, her conscience might overwhelm her, and he feared what she might react.

“IT haven’t hurt anyone.

Don’t overthink it, okay?” Brett said earnestly.

“Remember, everything I did, I did for you.

You have to trust me.

”

“Then why do we have to hide? If you were innocent, you could have cleared your name, right?” Callie questioned, unconvinced.

“This situation is far too complex.

It’s not as straightforward as it seems,” Brett replied, sighing.

“Yes, I was indeed the last person seen with Wesson.

But I can swear, I didn’t kill him.

How could I? It’s not in me to do such a thing…”

Brett’s voice faltered.

The memory pained him deeply.

Back then, he had been coerced into showing Wesson a video of Nicole being humiliated, and he had delivered some devastating words, suggesting Wesson end his own life to spare Nicole any further disgrace.

Internally, Brett was tormented by his own actions, to the point of wanting to strike himself.

His motive wasn’t just about money.

His daughter had a rare blood type and had struggled to find a suitable match.

Then, a mysterious figure had offered hope, promising a transplant for his daughter abroad.

Ultimately, Brett couldn’t go through with it.

His conscience prevailed, and he confessed everything to Wesson.

He had hoped Wesson, being a seasoned man, would be resilient and rise to protect Nicole.

But upon returning to Wesson’s office, Brett was horrified to discover that Wesson had indeed been murdered.

He had been cowardly, hiding for so many years, too frightened to reveal the truth because of that mysterious figure’s cruelty.

Callie was at a loss about whom to trust anymore.

She attempted to steady her voice and replied, “I get it.

”

“Callie, don’t overthink things.

Just trust me.

I would never hurt you.

Get ready, and once this is all behind us, I’ll take you abroad.

We’ll start a new, peaceful life, okay?” Brett said, trying to win his daughter’s trust back.

Callie’s mind was swirling, and she responded weakly, “Okay.

”

After ending the call, Callie stared blankly at her phone.

She believed her father hadn’t killed Wesson, but she knew her father was hiding something.

If she told Nicole, it might help.

.

However, before Callie could sort through her thoughts, the door to her room burst open.

Her grandmother entered.

“Callie, give me your phone,” Laurie demanded.

Stunned, Callie quickly hid her phone behind her back.

“Grandma, what are you doing? You won’t let me go out, and now you’re taking my phone too?”

“I heard your conversation with your father,” Laurie said sternly.

“Callie, I can’t stand by and watch you do something harmful to your dad.

He’s your father.

Don’t be foolish…”

Callie was shocked to learn her grandmother had been eavesdropping.
