Broken Hearts and Second Chances




Chapter 6

Matthew cast a cold, indifferent glance at her. "Did you even think about the consequences of your actions?"

"I know I was wrong. I won't do it again, I swear," Megan pleaded, her voice filled with desperation.

She crawled over to Patrick and grabbed at the edge of his coat.

"Patrick, you were always the one who cared about me most, weren't you? You wouldn't let them throw me out of the family, would you?"

Patrick pulled away from

her and yanked his coat from her grasp. He kept his distance, his expression unreadable.

Having reached the limit of his patience, David called for the house steward.

"Get her out of here," he ordered.

Megan was dragged outside the villa and unceremoniously thrown to the ground.

Slowly, she rose to her feet, brushing off the dust, her eyes dark with fury.

"Hah, you all said you'd always protect me, that you'd be my shield no matter

what! Now, look at you-all lies, every word! What are a few rumors on

the internet? With all the power the Brosnans have, couldn't you make them disappear?

"I only cut the ropes. No one died. Does that really warrant this?"

Each word she

spat was laced with bitterness and resentment but no one listened. Only David, his face hard as stone, motioned

for the steward to remove her from the villa grounds.

And so, Megan was cast out of the Brosnan family.

Now, there were only ten days left in the mandatory cooling-

off period before the divorce.

Matthew and Patrick eventually came to find us.

They were filled with remorse

and pleaded for forgiveness. They begged for Sarah and I not

to proceed with the divorce.

"Please, let's not get divorced. Megan has already been cast out of the family. No one will interfere with us anymore," Matthew

"Please, let's not get divorced. Megan has already been cast out of the family. No one will interfere with us anymore," Matthew

said, his voice uncharacteristically humble.

He had never been like that even when he discovered we had lost the baby.

Sadly, forgiveness was no longer something I could offer. I did

not want to continue living with him, even without Megan in the

picture.

Matthew did not love me. Not even a little.

His apology now was nothing more than a shallow feeling of guilt, and I did not need that.

Our marriage was finally coming to an end.

When we arrived at court, Megan appeared out of nowhere and blocked our way.

She no longer bore the glamorous appearance from before, instead, she looked dirty and disheveled.

After the Brosnan family had thrown her out, she had nowhere to live.

"Matthew, Patrick please don't treat me like this. I can barely survive. I don't know what to do," she pleaded.

Patrick, who had once doted on her the most, now looked like he wanted to kill her. He

grabbed Megan by the collar, his fen

clenched, then released it again.

His expression turned menacing. "I don't hit women so you better get lost! I don't ever want to see you again.

Tears streamed down Megan's face. "I didn't do it on purpose... I really didn't..."

Even Matthew, who had always been gentle with her, now wore a fierce scowl.

"Didn't do it on purpose? The video clearly shows you holding the knife and cutting the ropes. Now tell me, what does un purpose' mean?"
