Chapter 666: Tracy's words were blunt, stripped of any unnecessary embellishment, yet they hit Brian with the force of a crushing wave. A cold, hollow ache spread through his chest as the weight of her revelation sank in.

Up until now, Tracy had secretly held onto a sliver of hope. She imagined that, for the sake of the child, Brian might help her, might find a way to free her from her prison. But that illusion had been shattered; days in solitary confinement had stripped her of any remaining optimism. The hope that once clung to her twisted into something far darker-pure resentment. Her affection had dissolved, leaving only hatred.
In the silence of her detention, she had cto terms with her reality. She truly wanted Brian to feel the agony she had endured. Only then, she thought, could he understand what it meant to suffer in isolation, to be trapped in despair. Only then could he truly understand the depth of her sorrow.
With a sardonic smile playing on her lips, she finally spoke, her voice thick with irony. "Does it sting, Brian?" she asked, her words laced with a bitterness she could no longer conceal. "It should, don't you think? When you married Rachel, my heart shattered into pieces. But the worst of it cwhen you hadthrown into that police station. That pain... was unbearable.

With a mixture of pride and vulnerability, she reached out and, despite the last remnants of her dignity, wrapped her arms around Brian's waist from behind.

Rachel doesn't love you, and she doesn't want to marry you. Why not marry me? I'll end the pregnancy, and we can have our children together. We can have a family, a life filled with love. Please, Brian, just look at me." Before she could utter another word, her voice was abruptly silenced as Brian, his expression unreadable, grabbed her arm tightly, pulling her away from him with a force that left her breathless.
His voice cthrough like a whip, cold and sharp. “Stop it! This is never going to happen. You're living in a fantasy. Remember, this deal is a one-toffer. If you behave from now on, I'll let you go free. But if you dare stir trouble again, I won't hesitate to settle all scores with you." "Brian, stop! Cback here!"
