Novel & Cerita After The Broken Engagement Mr. Brook Was Filled With Regret

Ace’s claim that their engagement was over was clearly news to her and she was too speechless to react. Well, until a few seconds later when she flared up suddenly. “You’re breaking off an engagement our families agreed on years ago for a whore you just met a few months ago?” she spat angrily and the disgusted tone she chose to insult me made my insides sting. “Watch your fucking mouth, Brooke, or I’ll help you shut it right up,” Ace warned her, his muscles tensing around me as he walked slowly towards the kitchen counter and placed me down on it. He still didn’t move away from me though, he remained in between my thighs with his arms securely wrapped around my waist like that was where he b

Brandon got up and walked towards the door. “Pack up tomorrow and wait for my next update,” he told her before opening the door and leaving. Brooklyn locked her door and sat dazed on the bed, with tears pooling in her eyes. She had never imagined that she would fall in love with a man who would be beyond her league. All her life she had dreamed of a man who would fall in love with her, who would sweep her off her feet and marry her like it happened in the movies but now she realized how foolish those dreams were. No one could fall in love with someone like her!

His voice grew agitated, "She was jealous of your position, jealous that you were going to be my bride! She deliberately destroyed the token, she poisoned my mind against you, said so many terrible things about you! I was... I wasn't thinking straight, I was deceived by her!" He took a step forward, those blue eyes trying to radiate what he thought of as charm. "Lillian, please believe me! I did have feelings for you. Otherwise, why would I have agreed to the engagement, right? The blame for all this lies with Carla! I've thrown her out of the family! She's at your mercy!"

I blurted. He laughed bitterly. “Why is that, right? Do whatever it takes, Hernandez. She ran after you so many times, it's time for you to break a sweat too.” “You're buying," he pointed to the glasses and left. I stood there drinking and remembering the night everything started to go wrong. The night I broke Sofia's heart for the first time and all the other times I did it again and again over the years. Yeah, maybe I really needed to make things right.

Two large guards dragged Romina out and dumped her on the street like garbage. The door shut in her face. For the rest of her life, that door never opened for her again. Word that the Hales and Bennetts had broken off the engagement spread across the entire East Coast. Everyone laughed that the Dons of two great families had been played for fools by one wicked woman. When a Don's authority showed a crack, the bloodthirsty came knocking. Other families began chipping away at Hale and Bennett territory, some openly, some in the shadows.

The words burned at the back of my throat. But after a moment, I swallowed them down. There was no point in starting a war now. He seemed to notice my reaction because the corners of his lips lifted into a small smile. “I know you're probably thinking it's too early.” He raised a hand in mock surrender as he walked toward me. “And I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said it.” I blinked. Were my ears deceiving me, or was Mr. Devereaux actually apologizing? He was definitely more interesting than his son.

He didn’t resist. But he didn’t look away either. His eyes stayed on mine until the very last second. Until the door closed. Until he disappeared. And I was left alone. With nothing but glass. And silence. And the feeling that something inside my marriage had already died. Outside the building… a black car waited. Luca stood beside it. Watching. Smiling faintly. As if everything was unfolding exactly the way he expected.

The priest's firm tone does the trick. His eyes meet mine. For a split second, I see a flicker of regret, maybe. Then it's gone. "I..I can't," his voice cracks. "I can't marry Cecily. My heart belongs to someone else." Someone else? The words don't make sense. I replay them once. Twice. My brain refuses to process. This...it can't be. Bruno loves me. Only me. I'm sure of that. There's no one else, no one at all, in the past seven years. He assured me of his love earlier today, promised me forever, and received Mum's blessings.

Brook is one of the few who voted in her favor and support her by continuing to do business with them even after her mother's death "I am guessing this is Mrs. Hugh?"Mrs. Brook asked to be sure and Laura nodded her head in affirmation, Laura signal to her to greet her "Mrs. Brook, I am much honored to meet you in person"Mrs. Hugh said excitedly, she can't believe she get to talk to the high and mighty Mrs. Brook "My pleasure I am quite surprised to hear that your son end up conquering our Laura" she said disappointedly. She has hoped that one day Laura will break up with Avan and marry her son instead but everything about her marriage happened so fast that she did not have a chance to do any

I may have attempted to fool others before, but she was my mate and there was nothing I had to be ashamed of. When I did break the kiss, I didn’t bother standing up. I just looked over Brook’s shoulder and found my mother, father, and my brother standing just inside of the room. Shock and confusion resonated across my mother’s face, boredom across my father's, and delight across my brother’s. Looking back at Brook, she had a slight blush across her cheeks but she was still facing me. I didn’t want anyone to see that they got to her or that she should feel ashamed for anything. She did nothing wrong.
