Scars Of A Broken Bond by Calv Momose

“I’m not as cruel and cold-hearted as you. As soon as you fear things might unravel, your first impulse is to end a life. You make
taking a person’s life sound so effortless.”
Sensing the sarcasm in Larry’s tone, Galilea snorted. “You believe your brother poses a threat, yet you allow a woman to go
undercover with him! Do you consider yourself a benevolent man?
You know how your grandfather met his end, but you feign ignorance. Aren’t you afraid your scheme will unravel, revealing your
true nature to your wife?”
It wasn’t Tyrone’s actions that made Cesar so angry, but what Larry had done in the past.
However, in Galilea’s words, Larry was to blame for everything, even when she took action without consulting him first.
Larry hung up the phone.
Galilea held the phone to her ear, waiting for a response. But all she heard was the busy tone. She snorted and a hint of irony
flashed through her eyes.
It was her fault for not recognizing Larry’s true nature sooner.
Lena was in a similar situation. But she was fortunate enough to have Larry’s love.
When Sabrina arrived home, she found that Bettie was already there. Sabrina sat down on the sofa next to Bettie and furrowed
her brows.
“Why did you get off work so early today?”
Bettie rolled her eyes and pursed her lips. “My dad‘s making me attend a party. Are you free tonight? Why don’t you come with
me?”
“Can’t you make an excuse and not go?” Sabrina asked after seeing Bettie’s unhappy expression.
Bettie sighed. “My dad wants me to go on a blind date. A date will be there for me, so I have to attend it. I’m not thrilled about it.
But I don’t plan to stay there Long.”
“Fine, I’ll go with you.” Sabrina and Bettie arrived at the party at 7:30 p.m.

The party buzzed with successful people dressed in suits and glittering gowns. They mingled in small groups and chatted.
The duo helped themselves to some desserts and found a quiet corner to sit in.
“Is your blind date here?” Sabrina asked. Bettie glanced at her phone as she took a bite of cake. “Not yet.”
A young man approached to chat with them, but seeing their cold gazes, he left disappointed.
Shortly after, Bettie’s phone buzzed with a message. After replying to it, she stood up. “He’s here. I’ll go talk to him and be back
soon.”
“Sure,” Sabrina said, giving her an encouraging smile. Bettie headed to the balcony while Sabrina stayed on the sofa.
Sabrina was finishing the rest of her slice of cake when she received a call from the police director.
