Breaking promises

PAUL

"Find her, Paul, discreetly. Find her and report back to me," I was left to stare at my phone after the line went dead.

I wanted to say that I was quite impressed but it was no surprise that Margaux was able to follow him all the way to Japan.

Takahashi would probably have my head once he found out that I was the one who had given her the chance to save her friend.

Unfortunately, it seemed that she had failed to do so.

The marriage had proceeded.

Though, I had noted the fury in Takahashi's voice over the phone.

Margaux may have failed to save her friend, but she made sure to make Takahashi feel threatened.

I know, deep down, she would never forgive me.

I can't even forgive myself.

BANG!

The sound of the gun echoed in my ears, the image of her brother being shot played in my vision over and over again.

I imagined Takahashi doing the same to my daughter. It was enough to break my heart and infuriate me.
