Love Unbreakable by Bank Brook

You Won't Get Another Chance Upon hearing the news, Mitchel felt as if a
sledgehammer had struck his chest, each blow

heavier than the last.

Arelentless ache radiated through his insides, making every fiber of his being
throb with pain.

Observing his distress, the doctor reassured him, "Don't lose hope.

There's still a chance.

For now, rest up and gather your strength for her sake." Once the doctor had
departed, an assistant brought over his repaired

phone.

Mitchel grabbed it and dialed Luis.

"Luis, I need your help...” The call disconnected.

An unread voice message was displayed on the screen.

Upon playing it, Mitchel heard Raegan's feeble, raspy voice, Raegan spelled out
her despair, each word cutting into him like a

blade.

It nearly broke him.

For years, he'd thought nothing could move him to tears.

Yet now, his eyes reddened, and tears streamed down his face and cheeks.
Hearing Raegan say she'd rather not see him in another life and would forget him
entirely was the last straw.

A piercing pain erupted in his chest, his vision darkened, and a gush of blood
erupted from his mouth.

Nicole, witnessing Mitchel's disarray, felt no pity.

She lunged at him, clutching his collar and shaking him violently.

"Where were you when Raegan needed you the most? She was carrying your
child! How could you let her suffer?" Finding

Mitchel mute, Nicole hissed, "If she doesn't wake up, I'll kill you!” Mitchel's face
turned icy.

He clenched his fists, suppressing the urge to toss Nicole aside.

He kept reminding himself Nicole was Raegan’s closest friend, and Raegan
would never forgive him if he dared to mistreat

Nicole.

Nicole's rage escalated as she spat out, "Raegan loves you deeply for years, and
this is how you love her back? You're no better

than a monster! What on earth did she do to make her meet you and then
suffer?” At her words, Mitchel grabbed her wrist and

demanded, “What did you just say?" "Mitchel!" Just then, Jarrod and Luis entered
the room, catching Nicole's heated tirade

against Mitchel. Jarrod and Luis knew how ruthless Mitchel could be. Mitchel had
constrained in recent years for the sake of the company's reputation. Jarrod
clenched his jaw and eyed Nicole, sensing her desperation. Nicole, oblivious to
Mitchel’s cruel side, seemed bent on not just crossing him, but incensing Mitchel
as well. Swiftly stepping beside Nicole, Jarrod seized her arm and admonished,
"Get a grip." To his surprise, Nicole wrenched free and yelled, "Hands off! You're
no different from him. Both of you are terrible." In her eyes, Jarrod was even
worse than Mitchel. He feigned kindness but was truly more monstrous than any
beast. Jarrod, fuming, loosened his tongue from the inside of his cheek and
stood aside, glaring at Nicole as if she were digging her own pit. Mitchel
snapped, "What did you just say?” For Nicole, fear had left her. Her only goal was
justice for Raegan, so she retorted, her chin lifted defiantly, "I said you're a
monster! You don't deserve Raegan's love!" Gripping her arm tightly, Mitchel
inquired, “You're saying Raegan loves me?" With a derisive grin, Nicole retorted,
"Aren't you aware?” Nicole felt sorry for Raegan, thinking Mitchel was utterly
unworthy of Raegan'’s love. Mitchel must be heartless, or why else he didn't know
Raegan loved him deeply? Raegan’s love for him was so palpable that it was
almost tangible.

"Why do you think Raegan abandoned her career to serve you? Had she ever
taken advantage of your wealth or status in the

past two years? She could have thrived on her own.

Instead, she gave up her ambition of chasing after her career just to be your little
assistant at your company,” she stated.

Mitchel was stunned.

He'd always assumed Raegan had married him for his grandfather's sake.

But now, even her best friend Nicole claimed otherwise.

Could it be that Raegan did love him? It was as if a bud had sprouted in barren
soil.

He felt a newfound glimmer of hope, dissipating his lingering bitterness.
Struggling to articulate, he asked, "When did Raegan..." Was it earlier than he
thought? "Save it," Nicole interrupted, her voice

laced with irritation.

"Even if she revealed her true feelings, you've blown your chance.

No point in discussing what's long gone." Nicole wasn't sure when Raegan had
fallen for Mitchel.

All she knew was Raegan had loved him for quite some time. She said it just to
make Mitchel regret it. Mitchel stared at Nicole intently, gripping her arm. "Spill it!"
"Talk to Raegan. She's the one married to you. Well, for now anyway," Nicole
retorted with a sarcastic edge. Surveying Mitchel's grim expression, Nicole
continued boldly, "Do you honestly think Raegan will still have feelings for you
when

she comes to her senses? You...

You're about to become history in her life!" Her words were like daggers, making
Mitchel's blood boil with the urge to silence her.

Unperturbed, Nicole opened her mouth to add more fuel to the fire but was
abruptly muzzled by Jarrod, who hoisted her up in his

arms.

"I'll teach my woman a lesson," Jarrod interjected.

Enraged, Nicole thumped Jarrod's arm while leaning against his shoulder.

"Put me down, Jarrod! Who are you calling your woman’? I have to protect
Raegan from this jerk." Jarrod felt as though his head

might burst.

It dawned on him that Nicole's ultimate loyalties lay with her closest friend and
her family.

Cross that line, and she'd unleash hell.

Losing patience, Jarrod warned, “Act out one more time and forget about seeing
your best friend ever again.” Nicole finally fell

silent.

Jarrod felt his shoulder damp from her tears.

Setting her down next to the elevator, Jarrod pinned her against the wall and
snapped, "Are you crazy?" "You're crazy!" Nicole

shot back, unyielding.

She rarely showed vulnerability in front of him.

Even when mistreated, she refused to cry.

But, it should be noted, tears were her secret weapon.

At least for now, Jarrod felt disarmed.

Visibly frustrated, Jarrod said, "I never stop you from seeing Raegan.

Given Mitchel's volatile temper, you're lucky to walk away unscathed.

You should be thanking me, got it?" "He's a bastard, Jarrod! Why can't I tell the
truth? You're no good either.

You're just as bad as he is!” "You!" Jarrod clenched his jaw, enraged.

Just as he was about to give Nicole a piece of his mind, a figure caught his eye,
casting a shadow over his expression for a

fleeting moment.

Quickly, he positioned Nicole behind him, near the emergency exit.
