Love Unbreakable by Bank Brook

At The Death's Door Mitchel showed no mercy to himself as he plunged the knife
deep into his thigh.

His usually composed face was now covered with beads of sweat.

He gritted his teeth and mustered all his strength to pull the knife out.

"Hmm!" Raegan uttered.

Although gagged, she could not contain her anguish.

Her muffled, heart- wrenching cries filled the air.

She shook her head vehemently at the camera, tears cascading down her
cheeks.

"No! Mitchel, don’t believe her! Tessa won't let you go!” Unfortunately, Mitchel
could not hear her silent pleas.

Raegan had already figured out Tessa's intentions.

Tessa wanted to weaken Mitchel, and then she would kill the two of them.

In a nutshell, Tessa could not let them escape unscathed.

At this moment, Raegan felt as if a heavy stone pressed down on her chest,
making breathing a struggle.

Since when did she start caring more and more about Mitchel? Raegan had
repeatedly told herself not to fall for him again.

But at this moment, she realized the ice in her heart had melted once again into a
flowing river for him.

"Ha-ha-ha!" Tessa laughed maniacally, and it sounded more terrifying than a cry.
With a malicious smile, she taunted, “Well done, Mitchel.” The stab brought
immense satisfaction and relief to Tessa.

Her face suddenly turned serious, and she urged, “Do it again.” Mitchel's fingers
clenched around the knife handle, and he

stabbed the knife mercilessly into his own leg for the second time.

Then, he pulled it out and tossed it to the ground.

"Are you happy now?" Mitchel scoffed.

"Yeah.

Now head into the field alone.

If I see anyone else, I'll..." Tessa brought the knife to Raegan’s neck and mimed a
cutting motion.

The blade nicked Raegan'’s delicate skin, leaving a trace of blood on her neck.
Mitchel’s expression shifted dramatically, and he growled, "I know! Just don't do
anything to her!" Mitchel, who was usually calm

and composed, seemed to lose his calm in a flash.

The video call ended abruptly.

Seeing Raegan's tearful face, Tessa sneered, "What? Are you touched?" Unable
to speak, Raegan fixed Tessa with a fierce

glare.

At last, Tessa removed the cloth from Raegan's mouth and gazed at Raegan with
a terrifying glint in her eyes.

"T'll test if he's willing to die for you later.

Men are fickle-minded and cowardly.

When faced with a real threat to their life, they might not be willing to sacrifice
themselves for you." "Tessa, you're unhinged! I'm

not as twisted as you.

I don't need him to die for me!” Mitchel carried a heavy burden. He was at the
helm of a vast company, with numerous employees depending on him, not to
mention the expectations of his grandfather and parents. His entire family was
counting on him. What he had done for her had moved Raegan deeply. But she
didn’t need him to risk his life to prove anything. Therefore, she couldn't let
Mitchel take any further risks for her sake. With a plan in mind, Raegan provoked
Tessa.

“You're pathetic, Tessa. With billions of people in the world, you have no one to
love and no one loves you.” Tessa clenched her jaw and stared daggers at
Raegan. "It's all because of you guys that I ended up like this! If it hadn't been for
you all, I'd still be a decent lady in a wealthy family!” Even at this moment, Tessa
showed no remorse and still blamed others for her downfall. "Tessa, nobody
forced or harmed you. You chose to victimize others for your selfish gains. Now,
you're facing the consequences of your actions,” Raegan pointed out. Her words
just hit the nail on the head. Tessa never expected Raegan to lecture her at this
time. "Shut the fuck up, you wretch!" Ina fit of anger, Tessa swung the knife
toward Raegan. Raegan rolled away and dodged the blade. She used the
momentum to shift her bound hands to the front. As Tessa swung the knife once
more, Raegan saw her chance and thrust her hands forward.

The knife sliced through the ropes binding her hands.

But at the same time, it also nicked her forearm.

Blood spurted from the cut.

Despite the pain, Raegan lunged to wrestle the knife away from Tessa’s grip.
Having endured long-term abuse, Tessa was weak and no match for Raegan in
terms of fighting.

Tessa’s original plan was to torture Mitchel upon his arrival, wear him down, and
then finish Raegan off right in front of him.

After that, she would finish Mitchel as well.

However, Tessa hadn't anticipated Raegan's audacious counterattack! Tessa’s
only advantage was the knife in her hand. In a frenzy, she swung it repeatedly,
trying to cut Raegan's face. Overwhelmed by the onslaught, Raegan retreated
and bade for the time. Despite having her hands freed, her injured forearm
hampered her movements significantly. Tessa stood up and laughed maniacally.
Her face was contorted and ugly. "You bitch! 1 planned to torture you slowly
before I claimed your life. But since you're so eager to fight with me, I'l let you
meet your demise now!" With that, Tessa swung the knife and charged.

Raegan avoided a direct confrontation and merely dodged Tessa's attacks. Now
that Raegan was no longer under Tessa's control, Tessa couldn't use her as
leverage against Mitchel. Raegan hoped that once Mitchel arrived, they could
overpower Tessa together. However, Raegan had underestimated the extent of
Tessa's insanity. Tessa pulled out a handful of white puls from her pocket and
swallowed them in one go. These were pills that the fisherman used as
stimulants. They were made from a unique fish oil formula. After consuming two,
that fisherman would become exceptionally strong and overpower Tessa.
Sometime later, Tessa ground several pills into powder and mixed them into the
fisherman's water, which led to the latter's

demise.

Taking a few pills was not dangerous.

In fact, she would become remarkably strong.

With renewed strength, Tessa lunged at Raegan and cursed, "Go to hell, you
bitch!” Before Raegan knew it, Raegan was pinned

to the ground by Tessa.

The knife's sharp edge hovered dangerously close to Raegan's eyes.

Raegan gripped Tessa's hand tightly and tried, with all her might, to stop Tessa
from stabbing her.

However, Tessa's_ pill-induced strength was overwhelming, and Raegan felt her
own stamina dwindling.

In a desperate move, Raegan kneed Tessa in the lower abdomen.

The two wrestled and rolled toward the edge of a poorly repaired platform.

The knife in Tessa's hand shifted and was now pressing even closer against
Raegan's neck.

The distance between life and death was less than an inch, Slowly, Raegan's
grasp weakened as exhaustion took over.

She could only watch in despair as the knife's tip edged closer to her skin.

Just then, a thunderous roar echoed downstairs.

"Raegan!" Raegan's gaze shifted, and it landed on Mitchel.

Scattered around him were bags of money.

Mitchel's heart trembled as he looked up.

The grief and pain on his handsome face were clearly seen in the moonlight.
Tears welled up in Raegan's eyes, tears flowing down her forehead and dropping
to the ground below.

With her remaining strength, she bit her lip and whispered, "Good bye, Mitchel."
It seemed that she was at the death's door.

Once her strength gave out, the knife would pierce her neck, and she would fall
off the building.

Either way, it would be a fatal end for her.

Seemingly driven to the edge of sanity, Mitchel ignored the blood gushing from
his legs and frantically scrambled up the stairs.

Fear engulfed him to the core.

In a desperate attempt to sustain his strength, he jabbed at the wounds on his
thigh to push himself beyond limit.

"No, no, Raegan.

You can't die.

You can't..." Tears welled up in Mitchel”s otherwise stoic expression, clouding his
vision.

The instant he reached the second floor, a figure plummeting from above.

Bang! The sound of the impact was deafening.

Mitchel's gaze snapped to the sight of a vivid crimson pooling on the ground.
The next second, his strength abandoned him, and he collapsed to the ground.
