Scars Of A Broken Bond by Calv Momose

“Thank you, Tyrone,” she expressed, her smile sincere and grateful.

Tyrone dipped his head, closed his eyes and pursed his lips.

He grappled with the words, unsure of how to divulge the fact that it was Larry.

He struggled to convey that her father’s tragic demise had been a consequence of Larry’s and Galilea’s actions.

If only Larry hadn’t made that ill-fated request to Galilea.

If only Larry had rejected Galilea’s advances flatly.

If only he had exercised greater caution to safeguard the project data from falling into Galilea’s tricks.

If only he had managed to intercept Galilea as she ran away.

With the above ifs, Sabrina’s father could have been still alive.

That being the case, he and Sabrina might never have crossed paths.

Sabrina would have remained the daughter of a reporter, an ordinary girl, progressing through high school and into college.

Perhaps she wouldn’t have crossed paths with the man who captured her heart, nor forsaken her passion for photography. Maybe she would have embarked on a photography career much earlier.

As for him, he would have climbed the academic ladder smoothly, securing employment within the prestigious Blakely Group without bumping into Sabrina.

The prospect of their paths never intersecting loomed large.

Yet, destiny had had other plans.

Sabrina’s father was killed.

They had met each other.

“Tyrone, is everything okay?” Sabrina inquired, her warm smile gradually waning as she observed his unusual demeanor.

He seemed upset.

“Sabrina, Do you know who is that guy?” Tyrone asked in a raspy voice after taking a deep breath.

“I… I don’t have a clue… Who could it be?” Sabrina hesitated as she made her inquiry.

Judging from his tone, it seemed to be someone she knew.
