The Scorned Heiress: No More Mercy novel Chapter 923

Deanna was already reeling from the devastating truth about Jovani and Jade's true nature. The sudden, violent death of Charles pushed her fragile psyche over the edge, worsening her depression and culminating in the current tragedy.

As the heavy truth settles over her, tears spill down Tara's cheeks, landing softly on her lap.

"Tara." As if sensing her sorrow through a telepathic bond, Danny rushes to her side.

"I used to think my brothers and my parents didn't love me anymore, that they only cared about Jade," Tara whispers, her voice thick with emotion. "But I finally understand that it wasn't just their fault. I was too stubborn. I desperately wanted their love, but I refused to ask for it. I just pushed them away with my silence and anger."

Tears blur her vision as she looks up at him. "If I had just paid closer attention to my dad's struggles... if I had noticed my mom's mental state, or just learned to open up and tell them when I was hurting... would things be different now?"

She chokes back a sob, her eyes filled with profound loss and helplessness. "Danny, what's the point of realizing all this now? Dad is gone. Mom is so sick, and my brothers..."

Seeing her this shattered, Danny's heart aches. He pulls her into a fierce, protective embrace. "Of course it matters. The misunderstandings are cleared up. The resentment that built a wall between you is gone. That is the first step to healing. You are family. You share the same blood, and that is a bond that can never be severed. Family is a lifelong tether that doesn't break just because of mistakes, distance, or silence."

His steady, resonant voice wraps around her like a protective shield, soothing the suffocating despair in her chest.
