Unspoken Love

Chapter 21 Brodie, Do You Know That I Forced Luna to Leave You?

Brodie drank again after he left the detention center. When he was drunk, he asked Steve to bring him

back to the presidential suite that Luna had stayed.

He bought out the presidential suite.

It belonged to Luna and him forever.

Brodie felt so dizzy that he couldn't even find his way. Steve held his arm and helped him into the room.

Brodie whispered, "Be quiet. She's probably already asleep."

Steve's eyes went red.

What was the use of Brodie's affection now? She was already gone. The ashes were on his bedside

table.

However, Steve did not dare state the truth, nor did he want to.

Brodie seemed a little frustrated, as if he remembered that in the early days of his career, every time he

had come home drunk from business dinners, Luna was anxious and distressed. She would nag him

for smelling of alcohol. But then she would cook some sober soup for him.

Brodie murmured softly, "She will be unhappy to see me wasted. Steve, help me make a bowl of sober

soup. Hurry up before she sees me like this. It'll upset her."

Steve couldn't stand it any longer and said, "Mr. Melton, she was gone."

Brodie paused.

And then suddenly he curled up. It was as if he had just realized or as if he still didn't want to believe it.

He stiffened for a long time before he suddenly wailed.

He whispered, "Go home. This place belongs to her and me."

"Yes sir."

Steve left.

Brodie slowly walked towards the bed. There was a faint scent of Luna on the bed. It was so dense yet

so distant. Brodie buried his face in the pillow and silently took a deep breath.

The next day, before Ariana's trial, Steve came to him with the phone, saying Jerry called. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

Brodie pondered for a moment before saying, "Bring it over."

Steve respectfully handed over the phone.

It wasn't Jerry. It was Ariana.

Ariana said fiercely as if it was out of revenge, "Brodie, since I can't get you and you make me so

miserable, I won't make it easy for you. Brodie, do you know why Luna left you?"

"Because of me."

Brodie kept silent.

"Because I asked Jessica to feign madness and then I made Jessica locked up by the Coveys to

prevent her from hurting others. Because I threatened Luna to leave you, or she would never see her

mother again. Because I said that if she didn't leave you, your startup won't get any financial aids in

City S. It's all because of me! Brodie! I wish you can't be together again in this lifetime or the next."

This call crushed Brodie. He frantically smashed all the furnishings and documents in the office to the

ground.

Ariana continued, "There's more. I also forced her to marry Jason! She married Jason because of me. I

knew she liked Jason. So, I told her that it was not enough to leave you because I didn't trust her. What

if she changed her mind when your business got better? She had to marry someone. So, she married

Jason!"

Brodie smashed the phone with hatred.

"Brodie! I'm living in hell, so I'll have you go down with me. I want you to regret it for the rest of your life!

It wasn't me who broke you up but you who refused to believe her. It was you who wasn't there for

her!"
