The Day I Died, He Married Her

Chapter 20

In the end, I decided to break up with Rachel.

But she's so naive—she'd never believe I truly meant it.

Lily Evans is short on money, which makes her the perfect partner for this.

Rachel called me, her voice hesitant as she said she had a surprise for me.

Silly girl. The moment she spoke, I knew she was planning to sneak over to see me.

My sweet, foolish girl. This time, big brother is going to disappoint you.

Rachel left in tears, and it felt like someone had plunged a knife straight into my heart.

Lily asked me why I had done it.

I told her to get lost—she was just here for the money, no questions asked.

My silly girl came to see me again in secret.

She's put on some weight, her little belly round and soft—adorable.

But she won't be mine anymore.

Damn it. I don't know who'll get to have her now.

I wish I could slap that bastard's face.

But I know I can't give Rachel any more false hope.

I walked up to her on purpose and told her not to come again.

Rachel begged me through tears, asking for one more chance.

My heart bled with every word.

In the end, I had to be cruel. "Rachel, I don't love you anymore."

She left in tears. And after that day, she never came back.

I knew then—I'd lost her for good.

In the end, Rachel's mother found out about the affair between my mom and Mr. Summers.

They fought bitterly, heading for divorce—right as Rachel was in her junior year of college, buried under a heavy workload.

I begged them not to tell Rachel the truth. Mrs. Summers slapped me across the face and told me to get out.

She said my mother and I had ruined her and her daughter's lives.

She was right.

I hurt Rachel. I deserve to die for what I've done.
