Love Unbreakable by Bank Brook
Chapter 56

? ? ? ? ?

Seeing Lauren's irritation, Raegan felt a wave of satisfaction wash over her.

There was something pleasurable about seeing Lauren irritated but helpless to do anything about it.

Livid, Lauren gripped the strap of her bag until her knuckles turned white.

But in the blink of an eye, his expression changed and he smiled.

«Okay, I'm going to confess. Before I only said those things to get on your nerves. The truth is that Mitchel loves me very much. He has promised to wait until our wedding night to make love. "He wants it to be solemn and special."

Lauren trusted Raegan not to verify her words. After all, no one could prove that she had said them.

If Raegan asked Mitchel, Lauren might just say that Raegan was trying to frame her.

At that moment, Lauren slowly approached Raegan and continued, "The only reason Mitchel sleeps with you is because he's a clean freak."

Don't get your hopes up. You are just a tool to satisfy his sexual needs.

Raegan's face drained of color, but she remained silent.

Lauren's eyes then wandered to Raegan's belly and added, "By the way, do you know why Mitchel doesn't want kids?"

Raegan froze.

"What do you mean?"

Lauren had always had a knack for reading people, and Raegan's reaction told her she had hit the mark.

Lauren speculated that Raegan hadn't told Mitchel she was pregnant because he would surely despise the baby.

Although she didn't know why Mitchel was opposed to the idea of ​​having her own children, it was enough to show that she didn't love Raegan.

«That's because Mitchel told me he would only have one child with me. I didn't want to have a child with you. “She’s just waiting for me to give birth to our children,” Lauren said with a triumphant smile.

Hearing this, Raegan felt like she had been hit with a ton of bricks.

So Mitchel's refusal to have a child was because he would only become a father with the woman he truly loved.

Even though Raegan had been telling herself that she was over Mitchel, Lauren's words still stung.

«You should face reality as soon as possible. Don't think that having a baby gives you any advantage. The bastard of a scheming bitch like you would only have…”

Before Lauren could finish her sentence, Raegan's hand flew up.

A clap! It landed with a solid slap to Lauren's face.

"If you speak ill of me and my son again, I will not hesitate to shut your mouth forever," Raegan warned.

She could tolerate Lauren's harsh words. But speaking ill of her unborn child was a line no one could cross, especially Lauren.

Lauren was stunned by the slap. She had never been slapped.

Raegan's audacity made her furious. How dare that bitch lay a finger on him!

«Bitch, I'm going to kill you! "I should have finished you off at that party!"

Lauren, unhinged, threw her bag at Raegan's face.

Raegan dodged it, but the zipper of the bag grazed her cheek, causing a searing pain.

The next second, Raegan grabbed Lauren's wrist and slapped her across the face again.

Raegan may not have been the strongest, but she was more than a match for the spoiled and fragile Lauren.

With narrowed eyes, Raegan declared, "Try to set me up again and I swear I'll never let you go."

As he reflected on the events of that fateful day, he couldn't shake the feeling that Lauren had something to do with it.

Maybe Lauren had found out about her pregnancy and conspired with Tessa to get rid of her and the baby.

In that case, showing weakness in front of Lauren would be like waving a red flag in front of a bull. It would only make Lauren think she was a pushover and embolden her to attack again.

With tears streaming down her face from the slap, Lauren feigned innocence.

«What are you talking about? When have I set a trap for you?

“Take this as a warning,” Raegan said sarcastically.

«Leave me alone, and I will do the same. But betray me again and I will drag you down in flames.

The malice in Raegan's eyes sent a shiver through Lauren.

Having made her point clear, Raegan shook her hand fiercely and didn't want to tangle with Lauren any further.

Just as Raegan was about to leave, Lauren lunged at Raegan, intending to scratch her face. But before Lauren could make a move, she noticed Mitchel approaching.

Lauren loosened her grip instantly, and Raegan took the opportunity to push Lauren away.

«Ah! No!" Lauren shouted.

The next moment, the back of his head hit the railing with a thud.

It looked like Lauren was hurt pretty bad.

Raegan turned around and found Mitchel walking in her direction.

His gaze was icy and filled with silent judgment.

Lauren took advantage of the moment to play the victim. Fresh tears welled up in her eyes and she screamed, "It hurts, Mitchel..."

Mitchel stopped in front of Raegan and asked, "Did you do this to her?"

Staring into Mitchel's icy face, Raegan found it hard to breathe.

It was obvious that he had already painted her as the villain in his mind.

He accused her of deliberately hurting Lauren without even asking her what had happened. Disappointed, Raegan felt no need to justify herself.

"Yes, I did," Raegan responded without offering any explanation.

Mitchel stared at her as if trying to see through her soul.

Meanwhile, Raegan held his gaze without flinching.

Unable to wait any longer, Lauren screamed again.

"Mitchel, it hurts... It hurts like hell..."

Mitchel turned his attention away from Raegan. He then picked Lauren up off the ground and turned to leave.

"Mitchel!" Raegan shouted.

Mitchel stopped in his tracks and turned to look at her.

Raegan tried to keep her composure and, with a hopeful glint in her eyes, she whispered, “Don't go.”

When their eyes met, Mitchel frowned and said emotionlessly, “Go back to the living room. "I'll be back soon."

Raegan's lips curved into a bitter smile and a look of disappointment crossed her face.

"You just told me you didn't want a divorce."

Was he going to change his words so easily?

Why raise their hopes only to destroy them himself?

Didn't he care about her feelings? Didn't he care that she felt hurt?

Lauren's face was distorted with anger. Still, he tried his best to contain himself and sobbed into Mitchel's arms.

«Mitchel, my head hurts a lot. Am I going to die?

Mitchel paused briefly and finally said to Raegan, “Wait for me in the living room.”

Raegan felt as if her heart had broken into a thousand pieces.

Although her eyes filled with tears, she fought them back and said with steely determination, “I won't wait for you, Mitchel. If you leave now, consider that we are done.

Mitchel's face turned icy. Ultimatums had never sat well with him.

At that moment, Lauren paled and her body shuddered.

Without saying anything else, Mitchel left.

As he left, a gust of wind hit and Raegan burst into tears.

With his face marked by tears, he smiled bitterly.

She couldn't help but laugh at herself.

How could he stand so high in Mitchel's heart?

Raegan walked forward, lost in thought.

Out of nowhere, a boy burst in from the opposite direction and collided with her.

He ran away without apologizing.

Suddenly, a sharp pain erupted in Raegan's belly.

His face paled like a ghost. He squatted down and it hurt so much that he curled up in agony.

"Raegan?" A soft man's voice brought her back to reality.

Raegan looked up and saw a familiar face.

"Henley..."

But before he could say anything else, his vision blurred and everything went black.

“Raegan!” Henley immediately picked her up and ran towards the emergency room.
