Out Of The Shadows Tilda’s Brilliant Second Life novel Chapter 465

Chapter 465 The Broken Memorial Frame

The memory of Tilda’s memorial frame shattering on the floor froze Darell’s hand in midair.

For reasons he couldn’t explain, he didn’t want to touch Kyla. Not at all.

He pulled his hand back and said, stiffly, “Kyla. Long time no see.”

Kyla flushed with awkwardness.

She stood there, humiliated, wishing she could disappear. Her face had gone pale.

“Hmm… yeah, Darell. Long time no see,” she managed.

Kyla knew Darell had always kept her at arm’s length.

Any affection he had shown before was merely a facade to appeas the family.

Still, of all her brothers, Kyla liked Darell the most.

It wasn’t just because he was handsome and aloof.

Darell was in show business. He had won the award she had always dreamed of.

Because Darell barely noticed her, Kyla’s competitive streak flared, making her want his attention all the more.

She had won over the whole family, making them dote on her without ever noticing her flaws.

But with Darell it didn’t work. Kyla’s perfect act—and her pride–wouldn’t allow her to fail like this.

Even after all these years, Darell was still against her.

Kyla herself didn’t know what she’d done wrong.

Everyone else was caught up in the joyful moment and didn’t notice Kyla’s odd reaction.

They helped Darell into the car and drove straight home.

On the ride, Darell fought down his curiosity. He didn’t ask about Tilda.

His gut told him Tilda had become a wound for his family.

Only after they reached home did Darell roughly explained what had happened to him over the last half year.

Finished

After that, he turned to his parents with a serious look. “Dad, Mom,” he said, “I rushed back from filming in Jeselton because I need to know what happened between Tilda and our family

The room fell silent the moment he said Tilda’s name.

Justin and Kayden had expected Darell to ask about her–just not so soon.

As soon as someone brought up Tilda, the two brothers felt a pain they couldn’t put into words.

They had tried so hard to forget her, but they couldn’t.

It sat in their chests like a deep thorn, stabbing now and then.

No remedy could ease it.

Whenever they tried to pretend the wound wasn’t there, someone would mention her by accident.
