Chapter 27
A heavy sense of regret and frustration fingered in the air between the three brothers. |||
They exchanged looks–each one stubborn, refusing to accept defeat
But Phil wasn’t about to give them another chance.]
As they knelt in the family shrine, held down by silent, stone faced bodyguards, a line of housekeepers appeared. They carried out every single thing that had ever connected the brothers to Rosa–letters, gifts, photos–and, right in front of them, tossed it all into the burning brazier Piece by piece, those memories became smoke and ashes.
Nol Dont Lev, Austin, and Aiden shouted, struggling against the quards with whatever strength they had left. The wounds on their backs, barely healed from the last round of punishment, split open again. Blood seeped through their shirts, dripping down and staining the floor dark red
But none of them cared about the pain. Their eyes were glued to the flames, watching everything that proved Rosa had cared about them turn to ash.
The housekeepers weren’t in any hurry. They burned everything slowly, dragging it out for hours. By the time the last item was gone, the entire Schuler estate reeked of smoke and bitterness.
The shone was silent. Everything that might have shown Rosa once loved them was gone.!!
When it we finally over a bodyguard stopped up, his voice cold and precise
“Second Master asked me to tell you this. What you threw away like garbage, he treasures like gold. Same goes for people, Regret won’t change anything–you’re way too late.
He tossed a sack of photos down in front of them.
The pictures were of Phil and Rosa in wedding attire–taken all over the world, every time Phil traveled for work, with Rosa always by his side. In every photo, Rosa’s sole was radiant and real, a kind of happiness the brothers had never seen from her
For long moment, Lev, Austin, and Aiden were speechless
They couldn’t remember ever seeing Rosa smile like that at them. With them, her smiles had always been polite and forced, like she was trying too hard to please.. The bodyguard kept going “Also, Madam never liked roses–that was always your thing, sir. She never cared about medicine, either, she studied it because you forced her. And acting? Sure your movies gat awards, but she never loved the industry. Everything she did, she did just to get closer to you, not because she liked it On the other end of the phone. Joseph and Katherine sounded caught off guard for a second, then her voice went cold::
Let it go It’s over.“”
That last sentence wasn’t from Phil, but the bodyguard’s own advice. Too bad the brothers weren’t the type to listen.
Deep down, they all believed–unless they gave up on their own, nothing and no one could make them change.
No one knew how many days they were kept kneeling in the shrine. Every time their wounds started to heal, they’d be torn open again, blood pooling around them Eventually, when their bodies couldn’t take any more, they finally gave in and forced the words out!
Rose is our aunt now From today forward, we’ll never have feelings for her again.“/
As soon as they said it, all the collapsed, slipping into unconsciousness
When Low woke up, he found his assigned to a company office overseas. Just as he got his strength back and packed up to return home, a line of bodyguards blocked his way
The Phil says youre needed here for the n
next few years, sir. The company can’t do without you. Better get used to it ”
He had no choice but in stay he never imagined a few years” would turn into len
Austin was sent straight to a national medical research facility He was forced to sign a contract that basically tied him there for life. Even if he left, military escorts would be on him every second, and as soon as his leave was up, he’d be dragged right back
He had no frendum leht. His whole lite belonged to the country now..
As for Ader, he was signed up for endless movies and TV shows, his schedule packed so tight the bandy had time to sathe Every time he tried to run, Phil’s people would find him and bring him night back No matter where he went, he could never escape
“Telax. Those those will never get another chance to bother us,” Pial said wrapping his arms around Rosa, his eyes soft and full of love
Rosa leaned in, kissing him with a smile. “Let’s not waste another munate talking about people who don’t matter?
