He Protected My Baby’s Killer So I Left Him Chapter 10

His grip was so tight it left deep creases in the inspection report.
They had kept telling themselves they were repaying a debt.
But even Isabella’s own parents had never asked this of them.
From beginning to end, they were the ones who had chosen Isabella.
And they were the ones who had dressed up every cruelty as a necessity.
Isabella’s father personally took her to the police station.
The settlement agreement might reduce her liability, but it couldn’t turn intentional harm into a simple accident.
Even as she was being taken away, Isabella kept calling Matteo.
He didn’t answer the first call.
On the second, she sent a tearful voice message.
You promised my brother you would take care of me for the rest of my life.
After listening, Matteo blocked her number.
But it didn’t make him feel any lighter.
Because I would never know.
A choice made too late changes nothing.

The gate was locked, and a neighbor told them the house had been listed with a realtor.
They contacted my old colleagues.
All anyone knew was that I’d taken a leave of absence.
As for where I’d gone, no one would say.
