The Scorned Heiress: No More Mercy novel Chapter 730

Every memory of his supposed cruelty—the times he ignored her, the times he smiled only at Jade, the moments he made her feel like a worthless outsider—now completely shatters. In the wake of his profound, desperate love, those memories mutate into agonizing shards of guilt that rip her heart to shreds.

She remembers the vicious, unforgiving things she screamed at him. She remembers how he would look at her with that quiet, lingering sadness before turning his back to walk away. The pain in her chest is so suffocating it feels like she is having a heart attack.

Beneath his cold, untouchable billionaire facade was a father bleeding out for his child. He became the villain of her story just to build a fortress around her. He endured her hatred, her insults, and the absolute destruction of his family, all to keep her breathing.

She thought she was entirely alone in the world. She thought everyone had abandoned her. She never once realized there was a man standing in the dark, using his own life as a shield to protect hers.

The diary slips from her numb fingers, hitting the floor with a soft thud. Tara collapses over the table, burying her face in her hands as she sobs with a violent, unrestrained ferocity. No amount of crying can wash away the suffocating mix of devastating grief and tragic warmth consuming her soul.

"Tara."

A pair of strong, familiar arms wraps securely around her trembling shoulders. She is pulled instantly into a warm, broad chest, surrounded by the grounding scent of clean cedar.

"Breathe, darling. Let it out. I've got you. I'm right here," Danny whispers, pressing a kiss to the top of her head.

Joseph had known she would completely break down. Unwilling to let her suffer alone in an empty room, he had called Danny the second he walked out.
