Sebastian Brenand’s phone instantly broke into pieces.
His world had become quiet.
There was dead silence around him.
Although it was warm in the house, Sebastian felt chills all over his body.
Leaning weakly against the couch, he stared lifelessly ahead, feeling like he couldn’t cope anymore.
It was the first time he ever hated his identity.
None of this would have happened if he had come from an ordinary family. He would be able to spend the rest of his life peacefully with the woman he loved.
He regretted not taking Rachel Wood out of the country when his parents objected to their relationship. They would’ve been out of their reach.
If they’d left sooner, none of these tragic events would’ve happened.
Sebastian hated himself for still caring about his family and thought he could wait a while longer.
Why did he have to wait? Where was Rachel now?
His parents had lost their minds.
Perhaps, Rachel was being tortured by them right now.
The longer it took for Sebastian to find her, the longer she'd have to suffer.
After taking a deep breath, he stood up and walked weakly out of the house, his body still trembling.
He heard the sound of thunder, and then it suddenly began to rain heavily.
His vision blurred, but he couldn’t care less. He ran through the rain and sat in his black Bentley.
