Love Left Me Broken novel

---- Chapter 5 When Shawn finally finished work and hurried to the celebration , he couldn't find me. For some reason, a sudden heaviness gripped his heart. He immediately found Brenda and asked, "Where's Yvonne? Where did she go?" Brenda glared at him. "Oh, now you remember to look for her? She's not around. Isn't that exactly what you wanted?" "Mom, where did she go?" Brenda refused to tell him. She snorted coldly before heading off with Roy to greet the guests.

Realizing that he wouldn't get an answer here, Shawn immediately drove home. But when he arrived, he still couldn't see me anywhere. His heart clenched tightly, a suffocating sense of unease overwhelming him. Staggering, he rushed upstairs while calling my name. But all that was waiting for him was an empty room. The vanity was empty, and the closet was devoid of all my clothes. He wanted to laugh, but all he managed was a grimace.

---- He thought that I would never leave him, no matter what happened . He thought that, with our child as a bond, I would be stuck with him forever. But when he couldn't find me, he realized that he was the one who couldn't live without me. Eyes bloodshot , he silently sat alone in front of the bare vanity and stared at his own reflection in the mirror. He sat there for the entire day. When Brenda finally returned with Roy and passed by my room, she found him sitting there alone.

Her eyes filled with mockery. "Oh, hello. Shouldn't you be enjoying yourself with other women at this hour? Why are you home? Feeling too weak to keep up?" Shawn ignored the sarcastic remark. Hoarsely, he asked, "Mom, why did you insist on me marrying her all those years ago?" Hearing that, Brenda fell silent. Then, she sighed deeply. "Shawn, do you remember who saved you when you were kidnapped as a child? "Tt was an undercover police officer.

He risked his life to save you from the border, but because of that, the kidnappers targeted his entire family to get their revenge. ---- "At the time, his pregnant wife barely escaped with the help of her family , but she was severely injured. She bled out and died right after giving birth. Someone found her child and took her to an orphanage. "By the time I found the child, she was already five years old.

Your grandparents refused to let me adopt her, so all I could do was support her financially in secret. That child... That was Yvonne." "T once showed you her photo and asked you if you would marry her. At the time, you told me without hesitation that you liked her." Tears streamed down Brenda's face. She had just wanted to show her care for me openly, but instead , she had ended up hurting me.
