Bound By A Broken Night novel Chapter 240

Chapter 240

“Daisy Greene…” he murme?, his voice trembling, his eyes already glossed with unshed tears.

He looked at Cassie as though afraid she might disappear if he blinked.

“My sister… is Daisy Greene,” he said, the words fragile, almost disbelieving

Cassie let out a soft, uneven laugh, though it broke halfway.

“That’s my mother’s name,” she replied gently, a trembling smile forming as tears slipped past her lashes. She tried to wipe them away, but more followed, betraying the emotions she could no longer contain

A bittersweet smile touched Eliseo’s lips as he shook his head faintly.

“That’s why…” he murmured, voice thick with emotion.

“That’s why you looked so familiar. I thought it was just my mind playing tricks on me… something I wanted to see.”

He took a hesitant step closer, his gaze never leaving her face-searching, tracing every feature as if committing her to memory.

“I’ve been looking for my sister for years,” he continued, his voice quieter now, heavy with longing and regret.

“Every lead, every rumor-I chased all of them.” He paused, swallowing hard.

“But I never imagined… never even dared to hope… that she had a child.” His eyes softened, a mix of wonder and sorrow intertwining.

“And now here you are…” he whispered, almost to himself, as if the reality before him still felt too fragile to believe.

“Now that I’m here,” Cassie began, her voice low but unshakably firm, “no one will ever coerce you into selling what is rightfully yours.”

A charged silence followed as she slowly turned, her gaze settling on Mr. Romero and Mr. Minerva-steady, unyielding, and edged with quiet authority.

“Everything that was taken from the farmers,” she continued, each word deliberate, “every piece of land, every right stripped away–I will see it returned.”

A murmur rippled through the crowd, disbelief giving way to cautious hope.

Cassie took a step forward, lifting her chin slightly as her presence seemed to command the entire space.

“The project the people of Sta. Cristina have long dreamed of…” she said, her tone softening just enough to carry the weight of that dream, “will finally be realized.”

Her eyes sharpened again as they locked onto the two men before her.

“But not through the hands of those who sought to exploit it,” she added coldly.

A beat of silence passed-tense, expectant.

Then, with quiet power, she declared, “I am Cassidy Greene, Chairman of the Malakai Group of Companies. And I will personally oversee this project.”

The name alone stirred the crowd, whispers breaking out in waves.

“Malakai Group will stand with the farmers of Sta. Cristina,” Cassie continued, her voice rising just enough to carry across every

corner.

“We will rebuild what was lost, protect what is yours, and create opportunities that will uplift every family in this community. She paused, letting her words sink in.

For a moment, no one spoke. Then relief broke through-raw, overwhelming, and real-spreading across the farmers’ faces as hope, long buried beneath hardship, finally began to rise again.

“Thank you, Miss… I knewit,” Carmel said softly as she stepped forward, her hands clasped together as if to steady herself. A shy, hopeful smile touched her lips.

“The first time I saw you, I felt there was something… special about you being here in Sta. Cristina.”

Cassie turned to her, her composure finally slipping. Tears shimmered in her eyes, no longer held back. Still, she smiled- gentle, warm, and real.

“Call me Cassie,” she said quietly.

“Cassie,” Carmel repeated, her voice tender, as if the name itself carried meaning. Her smile deepened, no longer timid but filled with quiet affection.

Behind her, Dino stepped forward, his expression lighter than it had been in years.

“So this is where it ends,” he said, a small, relieved smile forming.

“All those years of searching… trying to find anything-any trace-about Aunt Daisy.” His gaze softened as it rested on Cassie.
