Out Of The Shadows Tilda’s Brilliant Second Life novel Chapter 443

Chapter 443 The Weight of Silence

Kayden was gasping for air, sweat running down his face.

That was when Justin walked in.

He tossed a towel onto Kayden.

Anished

“Justin, I thought you went out.”

“Mom and Dad took Kyla out to clear their heads. I wasn’t in the mood, so I stayed behind,” Justin replied.

Then he sat at the piano and began to play.

It was Moonlight Sonata.

The notes carried like the ocean under the moon, endless and slow.

The pace wasn’t fast, but the music held a sense of loneliness no one else could touch.

It was the quiet kind of solitude, set apart from the world.

It was nothing like Kayden’s frantic, angry way of playing.

From Justin’s music, Kayden could feel what was weighing on his heart.

The events over the last few days had worn him down.

He was a little better now, but his eyes were sunken, dark circles carved deep, and his appearance unkempt.

Gone was the once–famous prince of the piano who had shone on international stages.

Kayden looked at him, opened his mouth, but no words came out.

Truth was, he wanted comfort himself.

He wasn’t in the mood to comfort anyone else.

The last note ended.

Justin noticed Kayden had calmed down Only then did he speak. “Weren’t you supposei to help Mr. Woodward tune his violin at the resort? Why are you rushing home this late?”

“Something happened. I couldn’t stay there,” Kayden said quietly.

Justin said nothing.

He mimicked Kayden, stretched out, and lay down beside his brother on the cold floor.

“Remember when we were kids?” Justin said.

“Even in January, we’d lie here like this. Back then, it felt warm. We could talk forever. We had endless energy.”

He gave a short laugh. “Now we’re grown, stronger, but somehow we can’t do anything. It just feels cold.

Kayden bit his lip, finally making up his mind. “Justin, let’s give up on Tilda.”

“Give up?” Justin gave a bitter smile. “I gave up al

time ago. I couldn’t even recognize the

sister who saved me, the one who meant the most. I let myself be tricked by others. What right do I have to stand in front of her now? I don’t even deserve it.”

“Then that’s good.” Kayden murmured.

Kayden couldn’t bring himself to tell Justin what had happened at the resort today.

Or the cold, final words Tilda had said after learning the truth.

Since Justin already knew letting go of Tilda was the best choice, Kayden no longer worried about him getting hurt.

“Kayden, you’ve changed. What happened to you?”

Justin sensed something was wrong.

Things you can’t explain to outsiders.

No–especially to the closest brother.

You have to keep it a secret.
