Love Unbreakable

Chapter 370 The Prenuptial Agreement

Curious, Erick warily accepted the folder and pulled out the encrypted documents inside. His eyes went wide with shock and disbelief when he saw the contents.

This document was Mitchel's will!

Erick flipped through the pages quickly. But the more he read, the more bemused he became.

By the time Erick got to the last page, he struggled to keep his surprise in check. "You're leaving eighty percent of your entire fortune to Raegan?"

*Correct. The will has been notarized. Rest assured. There will be no changes," Mitchel affirmed.

There was no force in the world that could have stopped Erick from gaping. Eighty percent Mitchel's fortune for Raegan, and the remaining twenty for Mitchel's mother.

Erick had an idea as to why Mitchel had allocated his fortune in this manner. It wasn't because Mitchel favored Raegan over his mother. Mitchel's mother had already owned six percent of the Dixon Group's shares. With this additional twenty percent of Mitchel's fortune, her share would surpass Raegan's. A revelation startling enough on its own. Willingness to give a fortune worth billions to Raegan so readily..

Mitchel gave Erick a moment to absorb the news before explaining calmly, "Erick, my intention in showing you this is not to gain immediate approval from you for me to marry Raegan. I just want a chance to make things right and make up for my past mistakes. I've been so preoccupied with work that I neglected Raegan and caused her undue suffering, even to the point where she lost our child.

I understand where you're coming from, but I still want to beg for a chance to make amends. Could you please not Intervene in my getting along with Raegan for some time? Even if Raegan doesn't choose me in the end, my will remains unchanged. Raegan is the one I desired to spend with for the rest of my life, Mitchel's tone was somber, his expression earnest.

Mitchel was never one to openly express his emotions, but once he was sure of his feelings, he stood firm and resolute. And for Raegan's sake, he was willing to explore every possibility.

When Mitchel was making his impassioned speech, Erick had slid Mitchel's will away, only to be pushed back his way by Mitchel, who remarked, "Please keep this will for me."

Erick's lips pursed, a trace of bewilderment on his refined face. "You just want me to allow you two to see each other? No other strings attached?"

Surprise was an inadequate word to describe what Erick was feeling. Mitchel just entrusted Erick with the notarized will bearing Mitchel's private seal. Mitchel was essentially offering up his weakness to Erick on a silver platter.

If this document fell into the hands of Mitchel's enemy and got exposure, it could destabilize the Dixon Group's stock market presence. Moreover, Mitchel would likely be forced to step down from his position as CEO. Mitchel, a shrewd businessman, undoubtedly knew the risks of his doings.

For the first time, Erick realized the terrifying extent of Mitchel's folly when blinded by love. Erick was simply an observer, having never been in love. In Erick's opinion, his career ambitions took precedence over love without exception.

'Actually, I have one condition," Mitchel answered grimly.

Erick smirked. He knew it! There was no way Mitchel was truly that selfless. Erick braced himself, waiting for Mitchel to reveal his true intentions.

However, Mitchel simply said, 'Please do not tell Raegan about this will. I don't want to add to her emotional burden." For the umpteenth time in the last five minutes, Erik was rendered speechless. This was truly baffling. Mitchel turned out to be way more selfless than he had ever imagined. Was he truly seeing Mitchel?

Just to be certain, Erick asked, "And you don't mind that Janey isn't your child?"

This was a rather crucial point. A child was the ultimate litmus test of a man's sincerity. Few men could wholeheartedly accept a child that was not biologically theirs.

Thinking of Janey brought a gentle smile to Mitchel's face. "I'm very fond of Janey, but I'll also respect her choices. Whether or not she likes me, I'll treat her as my own daughter."

Erick scoffed. "Nice words are easy to say, but acting on them is another matter."

Mitchel replied solemnly, "If Raegan chooses not to have more children, I can assure you that Janey will be our only child."

The mocking smile on Erick's face froze and he once again found himself speechless. It was rare for a CEO of a publicly traded company to make such a promise, especially one that pertained to the inheritance of the corporation. Mitchel was actually willing to accept Janey as his only child in the world, even without knowing whom Janey's biological father was. A truly remarkable stance.

Erick studied Mitchel, his tone a bit more fervent as he questioned, "Do you truly mean that?"

After all, people were inherently selfish. Especially people like them who were born into privilege and carried burdens far greater than that of the average person. They couldn't afford to be whimsical.

But Mitchel's resolve never once wavered in the face of Erick's queries. "I've already included this in the prenuptial agreement."

Erick's expression twitched. "Who said Raegan is going to marry you?"

Erick found Mitchel's forwardness presumptuous. Before Raegan even agreed to marry him, Mitchel had already prepared a prenuptial agreement.

"It all depends on Raegan. I won't force her, but I want to provide Janey with a complete family," Mitchel said, his obsidian-like eyes earnestly conveying his promise to Erick. "If you give me a chance, I swear on my life to protect Raegan and Janey."

Outwardly, Erick maintained a cool demeanor, his expression giving little away. But internally, his heart was in turmoil. Mitchel was proving to be exceptionally determined and a master negotiator who knew exactly what to offer, presenting terms that were difficult to refuse. More importantly, it seemed he cared for Janey from the bottom of his heart.

Erick's lips turned down when he remembered Janey's biological father was actually Mitchel. He wondered whether Mitchel's unconditional acceptance of Janey stemmed from the bond of blood.

Mitchel coughed a few times and winced. He was yet to make a full recovery and needed to return to the hospital as soon as possible. "Erick, I've sent the details of the Boyd family's scandal to your email. Excuse me, but I must head back to the hospital now. I sincerely hope you will consider my request.

Erick held on to the document, mixed emotions swirling through his dark eyes. Lost in thought, he didn't speak for a long time.

At the villa.

Raegan stared at the fragrant porridge simmering in the pot with a puzzled expression

At first, she had deemed cooking a challenge for her, but after consulting with Annis, she found herself able to prepare the dish proficiently as if she had done it before.

However, it seemed Mitchel would not get to taste it.

Raegan didn't want to break her promise, but Erick had instructed Victor to watch her even more closely than before. He even restricted her movements to just the company and the house. Erick simply wanted Mitchel to be out of Raegan's life, not wanting any harm from Mitchel to come her way again.

Raegan stared out at the darkening sky, wondering whether the stubborn Mitchel still refused to eat anything except for her dishes.

After hearing one too many sighs from Raegan, Annis gazed Raegan and asked, "Miss, do you want to go out? Raegan hesitated before shaking her head. "It doesn't matter. My brother doesn't allow me to go out." Annis stared at Raegan intently. She could tell Raegan wanted to go out, her destination a mystery.

After some thought, Annis suggested, "I guess a quick return from delivering the porridge you had cooked wouldn't harm. Just make sure to make it quick. Victor was invited to come in for dinner just now."

Reagan was hesitant. This wasn't the first time Erick got angry because of Mitchel.

Annis read the reason for Raegan's hesitation correctly. "If your brother comes back before you, I'll cover for you. III just tell him that you aren't feeling well and went to sleep early

Annis pushed Raegan toward the door, a note of urgency in her voice as she handed Raegan a thermos. "Go quickly and come back soon."

"Okay. Thank you, Annis."

Raegan's face lit up as she made for the garage with the thermos in hand. However, the next moment, as if on cue, Erick stepped out from his car.

Panic struck Raegan as she wondered why her brother had arrived so early today.

Erick marched over with determined strides. His eyes narrowed as he asked, "Where are you going?

"Not anywhere..." Raegan's voice quivered, and she stared at her toes with a guilty expression. The thermos she held felt like incriminating evidence.

Erick glanced at the thermos and sighed. He felt as if he was playing the role of a wicked queen. He looked away and said quietly, "Be home by nine."

"Uh?" Raegan thought she had misheard him. Erick's pinched expression suggested that he knew about her destination, but his words went beyond her expectations. Why did he agree to let her see Mitchel?

"You're really letting me go?" Raegan probed.

"Yep," he confirmed.

Just to be sure that she heard him right, Raegan asked again, "You're really letting me see Mitchel?"Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

Oblivious to the talk between Mitchel and Erick earlier this day, Raegan couldn't wrap her head around Erick's sudden shift in demeanor.

Erick, slightly annoyed, arched an eyebrow at Raegan and retorted, "Do you not want to go?"

Raegan now had the confirmation she sought. Erick truly allowed her to visit Mitchel.

Raegan was baffled. She wished she could teleport to the hospital this minute and ask Mitchel how he managed to convince her brother.

"Well, I'm leaving." Raegan said as she got into the car.

Erick watched the car speed away, a wave of melancholy washing over him at the thought of his sister growing up and away from him. He comforted himself with the thought that she had only gone to meet Mitchel and was not getting married this instant.

At the hospital.

Luciana waited in the corridor.

Soon, Katie emerged with an empty thermos hand. She smiled at Luciana and stated, "Luciana, Mitchel ate everything. He even said your cooking has improved."

"Really?" As Luciana's face lit up with joy, her wrinkles deepened, but somehow they only added to the warmth of her smile.

The past few years of marital discord and a distant son had aged Luciana significantly, stripping her of her once vibrant demeanor.

"Of course, I wouldn't lie to you," Katie assured, her smile seemingly genuine.

When Luciana heard this, she felt a burst happiness. "Mitchel always listens you, Katie. Was he in a good mood today? Can I go see him?"

In reality, Mitchel's attitude toward Luciana wasn't as bad as it seemed. Back then, Mitchel had been furious because Luciana held a funeral for Raegan at the riverbank. Mitchel kept insisting over and over that Raegan was alive.

Afterward, Mitchel had a severe stress reaction that kept him hospitalized for weeks, and his condition remained unstable.

As time went on, the misunderstandings between Mitchel and Luciana deepened, often exacerbated Katie who passed on news from one person to the other.

Luciana became frightened and uncertain of her place in Mitchel's heart, so Katie persuaded Luciana undergo psychological therapy

After the therapy, Luciana's self-esteem plummeted until she was second-guessing every decision. She became dependent on Katie's opinion and often sought Katie's approval for everything, even when it came to seeing Mitchel.

If Katie said that it wasn't a good time, Luciana would agree without a fuss, afraid that she would upset Mitchel if she insisted on seeing him.

Luciana withdrew from worldly affairs, focusing on silently praying for Mitchel. As Mitchel's mother, the most important thing for her was Mitchel's well-being and safety. She would do anything to ensure that, even if it meant sacrificing everything else.

Katie's eyes flickered as she said to Luciana, "Luciana, this is unfortunately not a good time. Before I came out here, Mitchel told me he was feeling a little tired..."

Luciana's face fell and she wrung her hands together. "Then next time," she murmured in a low voice.

Katie's phone rang at that very second.

Katie glanced at Luciana and said, "Wait for me by the elevator. I need to take this call."

Luciana nodded.

Katie walked over to a spot where Luciana couldn't see her to answer Abel's call.

Luciana lingered by the elevator, her gaze aimlessly falling on the mirrored surface.

"Ding." Suddenly, the elevator dinged open behind her. Subconsciously, Luciana looked over and caught a glimpse of a girl hurrying past.

For a moment, Luciana felt as if she was struck by lightning because that girl's side profile looked familiar

She opened her mouth to call out the name on the tip of her tongue, only to shut it a moment later. By the time she thought to follow, the girl had vanished.

Luciana stared at the hallway that led to Mitchel's ward, a thoughtful expression on her face. Mitchel was the only patient admitted on this entire floor. Could that girl be Raegan?

"What's wrong, Luciana?" Katie returned, noticing Luciana's forlorn expression.

"I..." Luciana started, but she dismissed her thoughts a second later and decided not to bother Katie with her wild speculation.

Katie, misinterpreting Luciana's expression as an attempt to sneak a visit with Mitchel, felt a twinge of annoyance but quickly suppressed it. "Let's go then."

As they walked, Luciana, attempting to sound casual, asked, "Katie, has Mitchel come to terms with Raegan's death?"

Katie was stunned by the question, but she regained composure quickly and replied calmly, "Mitchel hasn't mentioned Raegan in a long time."

Unable to shake the suspicion swirling in her mind, Katie probed, "Luciana, why did you suddenly ask about this?"

"Nothing. I was just thinking out loud," Luciana replied with an awkward smile.

Katie eyed Luciana for a moment. She intertwined her arm with Luciana's, her expression full of warmth. "Luciana,

I have some time to spare today. Would you like to go for your therapy session?"

Luciana hesitated. "I've been feeling quite well lately."

The thought of therapy made Luciana feel uneasy since it often left her with a foggy mind and poor memory for days afterward. For some inexplicable reason, she was starting to become wary of therapy.

"Oh, come on, Luciana. I've already made an appointment with Mr. Gomez for you. He even canceled on high-profile clients just for you, Katie insisted. Mr. Gomez was well-known for his psychological treatment and relaxation therapies and was highly sought after by the elite.

For all that had been said, Luciana found it hard to refuse and nodded in agreement. "All right."

On the hillside

In a luxurious villa, a room filled with swirling smoke created an air of mystery.

Luciana lay on a chair, deeply asleep.

The door creaked open and Katie walked in. She didn't even glance at the sleeping Luciana, accustomed to the scene.

"Did she say anything?" Katie asked.

Mr. Gomez nodded. "She said she saw her deceased daughter-in-law at the hospital just now."

Katie's expression turned frigid. Just as she suspected!

"So she kept it from me." A malicious smile curved Katie's lips. She ordered, "In that case, tell her that if her son marries her former daughter-in-law, he will die."

Again, Mr. Gomez nodded. "We should stick to the previous hypnosis technique and have her return for additional sessions."

"No need," Katie said sharply. "Use deep hypnosis. The kind that works in one go."

"That could be quite harmful," Mr. Gomez warned.

Katie smirked. "It doesn't matter."

Since Luciana dared to keep secrets from her, Katie found no remorse for disregarding Luciana's health. After all, the only reason she kept Luciana around was for her goal to marry Mitchel. After that, she didn't care whether

Luciana died or lived.

"Alright," Mr. Gomez agreed.

Before Katie left, she glanced at Luciana's pale face, her smile darkening.
