Chapter 145

My choice?

| raced my brain in every possible direction to find my connection with this hilly area, it tooka moment to

realize,

“Isn't it the very place where | had begged my brother to takewhen we were kids?”

“It’s been two hours, brother. When will mommy chome?”

My five

years old self was growing despondent after waiting for four hours, the hope of my mother’s return was almost

diminished.

So, when the clock struck 08:00 pm, Henry got up decisively,

“I will call mommy. She has promised us to cearly.”

Our dad was on a business trip, so our mommy agreed to take us to the beautiful snow-covered mountain in the

Southern village. My classmate had her Disney princess’s thbirthday there, and | was dying to spend my

special day at that venue. So, Henry and | were dressed in the evening.

He dialed mommy's number, but her secretary received the call instead.

“Madam is busy with the dinner meeting. You can leave the message.”

My eight years old brother's face reddened with pent-up fury as his voice raised an octave, he complained

bitterly.

“What do you mean by a dinner meeting? Mommy was supposed to be here. Today is Laura's birthday!”

However, his statement didn’t get any remarkable attention, the secretary disconnected the call with advice.

“Eat dinner and then go to bed, Henry. You have school tomorrow.”

Mommy forgot my birthday, brother!”

This negligence wasn’t a broken promise only, at a major setback in my life. My feeble mind couldn't process this

fact: How could my mommy fail to recall this event?

The tears of desolation pooled in my eyes as | wailed and hugged my elder brother.

“I don’t know anything. | want to celebrate my birthday party on that snow covered mountain.”

Utterly helpless, Henry heard my pleading and wiped my tears, his resolute tone comfortedas he vowed.

“Don’t worry, Laura. One day, | will take you

to the southern village.”

Years passed, and we grew up, coming to an understanding that our parents would never throw a party for our

important occasions. They were too busy to remember anything besides money and business.

The doleful memory of my fifth birthday also faded from my mind, | totally forgot that once | begged Henry for

hours to chere together.

But today, Melody refreshed that distant memory, so | voiced my surprise openly.

“This snow-covered mountain was our family secret, Melody. How did you know about this?”

Melody’s soft gaze fixated on Henry, standing by my side, as she replied to me.

“Henry has toldeverything about your childhood, Laura. He shared his precious moments, making me

envious of your brother-sister bond.”

| hurriedly grasped Henry's arm possessively as my brother's meetings with her didn’t sound like a good

development to me.

Melody was a sly vixen, master in playing with others’ emotions to gain their sympathy. | didn’t want my brother

to face the sfate as mine after trusting her.

She smiled like a longing maiden and added to or former statement,

“Honestly speaking, Henry only talks about you Laura. His conversation starts and ends with you, he thinks

about your comfort all the time.

It won't be an exaggeration if | say that you are the only person in his life.”

Well, it was a kind of truth that we had always relied on each other since childhood, our sibling bond was

stronger than usual.

So, | took her words as a compliment and asked the officer.

“Please escort Melody to the prison instead of hospital. She seems perfectly healthy now.”

Officer Smith handed Henry a file to sign and spoke, his deep voice resonated in the

surroundings.

“After handling this case, | would like to request one thing, Miss Laura. Kindly don’t hide. any kind of detail from

the police.

Earlier today when | asked you about Mr. Leo, you feigned ignorance and didn’t utter a single word about his

disappearance.

This is sheer...

He gavea lecture about the significance of being transparent for a smooth. collaboration, Henry couldn't

listen to his blabbering and stiffly worded his objection.

“Leo is Laura's ex. So technically, she isn’t responsible for him. You can’t accuse her...”

The wind blew gently, pleasantly caressing my face like a butterfly, | was once again saved by Henry's

interceding. Unable to keep her mouth shut, Melody spoke up, jinxing our happiness.

“I also expected to be treated like this in a relationship. But Leo never considered my

feelings.”

The officers tried to take her away; however, she begged for a spare moment.

“I know | will go to jail, but | don’t wish to keep it in my heart anymore.”

And addressed my brother directly.

“After meeting you, | finally understand what real love is, Henry. You showedkindness when | didn’t deserve

it. You helpedsee myself beyond my mistakes.

You maderealize... I've never loved anyone before. Not truly.

But you... you changed everything.”

| felt my breath hitch.

For the first tin my life, | saw genuine emotion flicker in Melody’s usually calculating

eyes.

She wasn't lying.

She meant every word.

And yet, that only made it more terrifying.

“Melody is in love with my brother?”
