Love Unbreakable by Bank Brook -
Chapter 2108
Raegan knew she had to nurture this small breach in Davey’s defenses until it overwhelmed him.
Raegan shut her eyes again, persuading herself to rest and conserve her strength.
She had to keep fighting for her life until Erick and the rest came to her rescue.
Raegan endured a distressing night, plagued by chaotic dreams.
The thought that her mother was close by and the murderer of her adoptive father was nearby prevented any peaceful rest.
By the time dawn approached, Raegan was barely holding on.
Upon opening her eyes, she saw a man seated on a stool next to her bed.
It was Davey.
Raegan’s face transformed instantly with worry, pondering if she had revealed her deepest thoughts while asleep.
Davey, appearing indifferent, casually inquired, “Awake?”
Despite feeling internal turmoil, Raegan maintained her calm exterior and replied, “Yeah.
”
Davey commented, “You seem to have had a rough night.
” His voice was steady, yet his gaze betrayed an icy turbulence.
A pang of anxiety struck Raegan, wondering if she had revealed any slip-ups.
Gathering her thoughts swiftly, she confessed with a firm voice, “Yes, I had a dreadful sleep.
The events of yesterday frightened me.
After all, I came close to death.
”
Her sincerity seemed to dissolve the shadowy doubts in Davey’s eyes.
He probed further, “Are you scared of me?”
“Extremely,” Raegan admitted.
“You’ve tried to claim my life thrice.
How could I not fear you?”
Her response was candid, and she moved back slightly, filled with apprehension.
Davey’s expression darkened as he asked, “And Landen? How do you two get along?”
Confused at first by his question, Raegan hesitated.
Davey elaborated, “Is your interaction with him similar to this?”
Raegan now understood that Davey was comparing himself to her father.
She fondly recalled Landen’s kindness.
“My dad was very kind to me.
I was never afraid of him.
When I was little, he would often carry me on his back.
”
Indeed, Landen had always shown deep affection for Raegan, supporting her throughout childhood and even into her parenting years.
Upon seeing Raegan’s affectionate smile as she spoke of Landen, irritation flashed across Davey’s face.
His voice took on a sharper edge.
“Dad?” He clearly disliked the term.
“A father for a day, a father for life,” Raegan declared, looking directly into Davey’s unforgiving eyes, emphasizing that Landen and her adoptive father in Tenassie would always be her true dads.
Raegan navigated her emotions with precision.
Displaying any submission or weakness toward Davey now would only trigger his suspicions.
Considering Davey had killed her adoptive father and attempted her life thrice, submissiveness was not an option.
Resentment was more fitting.
Such defiance might even stir a competitive edge in Davey.
