Love Unbreakable

Mitchel, You Don't Deserve It Mitchel's towering frame suddenly faltered.

The notion that Raegan, ever so docile like a delicate white rabbit, could utter words that crushed his soul was beyond his imagination.

The light in Mitchel's eyes dimmed as he asked, his voice laden with sorrow, "Do you hate me that much?" Raegan's face was a mask of apathy.

"During my abduction, I hated you deeply.

All I could think was that if you hadn't left me in that hospital parking lot, perhaps I wouldn't have been kidnapped.

But there's no use in ‘ifs.’ I realize that given another chance, you'd still prioritize saving Lauren..." "That's not true," Mitchel protested.

A sharp pang gripped his heart, and his throat seemed laced with broken glass, leaving a metallic taste in his mouth.

He reached out to caress Raegan's forehead, but she deftly avoided his touch.

She shook her head, her tone laced with self-derision.

"Don't fool yourself.

You can't let go of her." Mitchel's voice, raw and strained, tried to explain, "Raegan, you've got it all wrong.

I truly intended to send Lauren away, but I had promised to escort her abroad until her surgery was done, and then we would..." "Mitchel!" Raegan cut him off sharply, pain etched in her voice.

"You made promises to me, too! You had me believe we'd return home together.

What became of that promise?” Feeling as if a massive weight compressed his chest, Mitchel tried to speak, but words failed him, his voice lost.

"Have you ever imagined what it feels like to have your skull shattered against a wall, your insides crushed?" Mitchel's voice quivered, his pale face visibly shaken.

"Stop...

Don't say any more...” But Raegan seemed lost in her torment, gesturing toward the bandage on her head, her lips quivering as she relived the terror.

"They bashed my head against the wall, trampled over me.

| felt my body breaking apart and felt my unborn child slipping away.

At that moment, my hatred for you was all-consuming.

It was you who made me believe in you.

But yet again, you abandoned me." As Raegan recounted the horror, the despair engulfed her again.
