---- Chapter 5 When Thomas walked in, cradling Chloe in his arms, the room felt strangely empty without Rebecca or Tracy in sight. He was puzzled for a moment. A servant stepped up and explained that Tracy had driven Rebecca to the airport. Without wasting a second, Thomas whipped out his phone and called Tracy. Tracy had seen this day coming from miles away. "Rebecca is gone, and I'm not spilling any details about her whereabouts to you. "you know, if Samuel hadn't tragically died in that crash, you wouldn't have stood a chance at getting Rebecca's love. You never loved her, and I just couldn't stand to watch her heartbreak in front of you any longer." ---- Thomas inhaled sharply, trying to keep his cool. "Oh, cut the act, Tracy! "After Samuel's death, you paraded Rebecca in front of me, all to grab the Wells family fortune. Did you really think I'd fall head over heels for a woman you shoved in my direction? You orchestrated her collision with me, which led to my accident! And then you had the nerve to marry her off to me! Since when did you start playing these ridiculous games?" "T've lost count of how many times I've told you, Thomas, but we didn't set up that accident. You've got it all wrong about Rebecca." Thomas chuckled scornfully. "Really, Tracy? You expect me to buy that? After all the years of our family feuds, you think I don't know you inside out?" The mention of the Wells family seemed to hit a ---- nerve, and Tracy's voice crackled with fury. " You're nothing but an outsider! Ever since you showed up, you've done nothing but bring grief to Mom, and now she's gone! "If you hadn't come back, Dad would've only cared about us. You and I, we're like oil and water -we just don't mix! "Rebecca walked out on you too, and I knew I was beaten. Thomas, you're so cold-hearted. Rebecca loved you..." "Enough of that," Thomas cut her off, his voice sharp with annoyance. "She was in love with Samuel, the brave soul who dashed into the flames to save her life." Samuel Wells was Tracy's brother, part of the Wells family. At 17, Samuel was kidnapped, and during his desperate escape, he became Rebecca's savior from a raging fire.
