Love Unbreakable

In the surveillance room, Jarrod watched Nicole on the screen, a pang of pain striking his heart.

Jarrod longed to embrace Nicole, yet he was acutely aware of his current lack of standing to do so.

During their silent car ride back, neither spoke a word.

Upon arriving at the mourning hall, Jarrod noticed Nicole had succumbed to sleep, worn out from being awake for two days straight.

Observing her peaceful slumber, Jarrod chose not to disturb her, allowing her to rest in the car.

"Waah..."

Suddenly, Nicole began crying in her sleep.

Her body trembled, and her muffled sobs deeply affected Jarrod.

Feeling as if his heart were ensnared by chains and grappling with immense guilt, Jarrod's face turned ashen.

He then did what he had longed to do.

He gently held Nicole in his arms.

In her sleep, Nicole, mistaking him for someone else, clung tightly to his arm.

Jarrod, breathing deeply, remained still, fearful of waking her.

After a while, exhaustion overcame Jarrod.Having also been awake for two days, Nicole's closeness, the focus of his turmoil, lulled Jarrod into sleep.

Nicole's eyes suddenly snapped open to the sound of Jarrod's steady breathing.

Contrary to appearances, she had not been asleep.

The thought of resting next to someone she deemed a demon was inconceivable.

Quietly, she shipped from Jarrod's embrace, leaving him slumped against the seat, vulnerable in sleep.

The moonlight cast a deceptive glow on his stern, yet striking features, masking his underlying ruthlessness.

Nicole, eyeing the driver's seatbelt, a sinister idea forming in her mind, contemplated an evil plan.

And that was to kill Jarrod.

The weight of her suffering and the Lawrence family’s tragedies all traced back to this man.

Nicole believed that by eliminating the root of these woes, she could finally give her parents peace.

In her mind, avenging them meant joining them in the afterlife.

As she pulled out the seatbelt and wrapped it around Jarrod's neck, her hands shook, tears streaming down her face.

She had never squashed an ant, how could she take a human life? Frozen, unable to complete the final act, her resolve wavered.

Then, a deep, raspy voice shattered the silence.
