Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 822

"Briana, just try your best to break free from your fear. Your strength is enough to release yourself, and you’ll see that fear won't be able to tie you down the future." Marcus knew exactly what Briana was scared of. That incident was also the main reason Marcus wanted to put Brennen behind bars years ago.

Everyone said Marcus was cold-blooded, and that he had no compassion. Briana used to think that way too, because she felt her brother treated her just like any other person. She thought he didn't care about her; she felt that even if she died, he wouldn't give a damn...

Until one day, she got hurt. When she woke up in the middle of the night in pain, she saw him sitting by her bed, applying ointment to her wounds with concern in his eyes.

That's when she realized, she wasn't the kid everyone despised. The ones who hated her were just her mom and dad. Her brother and grandma loved her very, very much.

Her grandma had taken her in when she was little, and she wouldn’t be locked in the "punishment room" for talking too much anymore. She could also eat whatever she liked. Her brother, he was always silently caring for her.

Thinking about this, Briana felt much better, "I'll try to let go of my fear. I can't allow it control me anymore."

Marcus nodded. "Good. Get in the car, let's go home."

Briana, "Mhm."

...

Marcus drove, leaving the passenger seat for Cornelia. Briana took her place in the backseat without being told. He was focused on driving, and didn't say a word. Neither did Cornelia nor Briana. The three of them arrived at the Hartley Mansion in silence.
