Chapter 264 I’m Sorry

+16 Bonu

“Yes.” The word scraped from Sebastian’s throat like broken glass. “Riley, please forgive me. If I’d known that was your brother, I never would have just stood by and watched.”

Riley’s body trembled as she slowly turned to face Sebastian.

“Stood by and watched?” Her lips twisted into a bitter smile.

How fucking ironic.

She despised Bella for letting people die, for destroying lives through her indifference.

And now the man she loved had done the exact same thing to her own brother.

“Why didn’t you tell me before? You knew I was looking for Samuel. You’d seen his photo. Or are you going to tell me you forgot about what happened five years ago? That you just didn’t remember, so you didn’t mention it?”

Even Wren had figured out she was searching for Samuel. There was no way Sebastian hadn’t connected the dots.

“Sebastian, answer me. I want the truth, not another lie!”

“I’m sorry.” Sebastian’s voice was hoarse and broken.

Those two simple words sent Riley’s heart plummeting.

She walked right up to him and threw a punch straight at his face.

Bang!

The hit landed hard across his cheek, but he didn’t dodge or block it. He just took the full force of her rage.

“Why? Why did you lie to me? You saw Samuel in Germany— such an important clue—and you never told me!” Riley’s eyes turned red with fury.

“I’m sorry, Riley. I’m so sorry,” Sebastian said. “I was afraid if I told you the truth, you’d never forgive me. You’d leave me! I sent people to look for Samuel in Germany. I was going to tell you everything once we found your brother…”

“So your honesty comes with conditions?” Riley felt like laughing at the absurdity of it all. She raised her fist and

punched him again. “Do you have any idea how much I trusted before today? You destroyed all of that trust in one night!”

Riley kept hitting him, venting her rage with every punch until Sebastian could barely stand, stumbling backward. Only then did she stop.

Looking at his once–handsome face, now battered and bleeding from the corner of his mouth, Riley felt her nose sting with unshed tears. The pain in her chest grew even sharper.

She’d never imagined her fists would strike the man she loved someday.

“When Samuel begged you for help, what exactly did he say?” Riley demanded.

“He just asked me to save him. He was injured, and since he spoke in English, that’s why I remembered,” Sebastian said bitterly. “But back then, I had no compassion. I was cold toward everything, so I…”

He paused, as if gathering every ounce of courage he had left, then continued in a shaking voice, “I didn’t want to get involved in local affairs in Germany, so I just had my men pull him away from the car.”

Riley laughed bitterly–what must Samuel have felt back then?

Despair?

“Was someone trying to hurt Samuel at the time?”

“I wasn’t paying attention, but there were several compounds near that area. After I realized I’d seen Samuel before, I

sent people back to Germany to look for him, but we came up empty. Samuel probably wasn’t in any of those nearby compounds,” Sebastian said.

Riley looked down. Not there meant he’d left, gone somewhere else—or maybe he was already dead. She knew that area well enough–it was notorious for being dangerous.
