Chapter 896:
Brian quickly filled a glass with water and gently helped Rachel sit up, carefully guiding the drink to her lips. He
watched as she drank, her movements slow and unsteady.
Once finished, she didn’t lie back down as expected. Instead, she wrapped her arms around his waist, leaning
into him, her presence warm and unexpected.
“Rachel,” Brian whispered, his voice soft yet filled with concern. He gently shook her, trying to rouse her from
her drowsy state, but she remained unresponsive.
He attempted to gently pull her hands away and leave, but she only clung to him tighter, her slender hands
wrapping around his neck, anchoring herself to him as though she never wanted to let go.
The dim glow of the bedside lamp cast a soft light over her, highlighting the subtle blush on her cheeks. It made
her seem even more enchanting, more delicate in that quiet moment. In truth, even in the simplest of moments,
without any effort at all, Rachel had always held an undeniable pull over him. But now, with her soft, almost shy
demeanor after drinking, she was utterly captivating.

rested against his shoulder.
Brian quickly adjusted the air conditioning, but despite the change, the room still felt unusually stifling. A wave
of heat surged within him, an instinctive pull he couldn't ignore.
“Still too hot,” Rachel mumbled absently, shifting her clothes in an attempt to cool herself, only deepening the
heat that stirred inside Brian.
It was then that he realized something about the room's fragrance—it had subtly shifted, as if the very air had
been infused with something that made his control slip further. Before he could stop himself, Rachel kissed him.
The desire that had been simmering beneath the surface flared to life. He didn’t resist; he couldn't. Despite a
gnawing self-reproach, a voice inside urged him forward. What if, after tonight, she chose to stay, not leave? The
thought of her walking away was unbearable, and in that instant, he couldn't fight the selfish yearning to hold
onto her.
Rachel woke in the stillness of the night, her mind foggy as she glanced over at Brian, who slept soundly beside
her. The weight of the situation settled over her, and she moved carefully, dressing quietly so as not to disturb
him. She slipped out of the room without a word, her thoughts a swirl of confusion and unease.
Once outside the hotel, she immediately canceled her flight and boarded the midnight train. She knew, without
question, that avoiding Brian was the only way forward. Neither of them seemed to know how to navigate the
aftermath of what had happened, so it seemed easier to walk away. Everything could be chalked up to an
unfortunate accident, an unplanned moment neither could control.
