The Last Embrace Chapter 329
Advertisement
Howard was furious after hearing Rachel's words. "What—? You told me that you love me more than my brother!? You lied to me! How can you play with my heart like this?"
Rachel looked at Howard. "I'm sorry, Howard. Now that your brother has returned we can no longer see each other again. I didn't mean to mislead you. Things just happen...we were tempted to seek comfort on each other. We have to do the right thing this time and put and end to our relationship because it's the best thing to do," she said sadly.
Teddy looked at his wife and brother with hatred and resignation in his eyes. "Did you have sex together? How many times did you have sex after you form a relationship together?" he asked, feeling disgusted already just seeing them hugging and kissing each other a while ago.
Rachel and Howard looked at each other with a petrified look on their faces.
"We never had sex! Just kissing and hugging and going on a date outside," Rachel declared bravely, glancing at Howard with a glare.
Howard, on the other hand, chokes the lump on his throat, hesitating to tell the truth.
Teddy looked at his brother, waiting for his answer, he knew his brother well, he always tells the truth. "Answer me, Howard! And don't fucking lie to me!" he shouted.
Howard looked at his older brother in the eyes. "Yes! We engaged in sex more than a dozen times! Each time we did it, Rachel always ask for more. Every time we see each other, we can't control our urges! I'm so sorry brother..." he said with downcast eyes.
Rachel got angry with Howard's statement. "You're a liar, Howard! Why are you telling your brother all this?" she felt hurt that he didn't even have the courage to lie for her.
Howard raised his eyes to Rachel. "Because it's the truth, and please don't pretend that you didn't like it. We both like what we are doing. How can you make me want to tell a lie to my very own brother?" he said in a tormented voice.

Teddy gritted his teeth in anger, his eyes darting between his wife and brother's face. "D-did you had sex inside my house—? How many times!?"
Rachel and Howard looked at each other's eyes.
Rachel's body was near to a breaking point, her husband's interrogation was too much for her frail nerves to absorb.
"No we don't—we always do it outside!" she quickly responded.
"And what is your answer dear brother?" Teddy looked at Howard sternly.
Howard breathed deeply.
"W-we had sex in this house many times. In the bathroom, in the master's bedroom, here in the living room, in the hallway, in the kitchen, even on the floor...we have sex everywhere in this fucking house! except on the roof!" Howard answered indignantly.
Rachel closed her eyes feeling ashamed all of a sudden. Those steamy nights she shared with Howard used to feel so right but now it feels so wrong. She wished the floor will open wide and swallowed her whole. This conversation is very humiliating and very degrading for her dignity and sanity.
Teddy sighed deeply. He can never accept Rachel as his wife ever again, he can never look at his brother the same way again. These two shameless people would only remind him of how they betrayed him and it's so damn painful! Right now he wants to leave this house and never return, considering that his wife and his brother had sex in every corner of this house! Grrr!
If it's another guy, he might be able to forgive his wife....but fuck!...it's his younger brother! No! He can't accept this! It will kill him slowly inside. "You two get out of my house right now and never come back again! Rachel, wait for my lawyer's notice, I'm divorcing you as soon as possible!" he shouted at them, nostrils flaring.
Rachel and Howard run towards the door and exited the house. They boarded the car that was parked in front of the house.

"W-where are we going?" Rachel asked absentmindedly.
"We go to my place," suggested Howard.
Rachel was silent for a moment. "I can no longer stay in your place, my husband has already returned, it's no longer morally right," she said.
"Can't you hear what my brother had said to you? He is divorcing you, he no longer wants to do anything with you. No matter what happens, I'm always here for you. I love you, Rachel. After your divorce with my brother is finished, let's get married," Howard offered.
Rachel started crying. God, she felt so confused. She loves Teddy, she always will. But now that their marriage was falling apart, she has to think of her future. She looked at Howard, could she carve a bright future and a happy family life with Howard considering that she was once married to his older brother? She thinks not. The sibling relationship between Teddy and Howard was forever severed because of her and she doesn't want to live in the same house with Howard who will forever remind her of Teddy and how she betrayed her husband. Is it the kind of life she wanted for herself? Forever reminded by her shameful past? No, she can't live her life like that!
A few minutes later...in her mind...she had already decided that she will stay away from both brothers so that they all can heal separately and put this painful past behind them.
Howard started the engine of the car. "I will take you to my place, Rachel," he said softly.
Rachel shook her head. "No. Please, just take me to my sister's house. I want to sleep there. I need a lot of thinking to do. I can't decide yet. I'm not sure if I am willing to share my life with you. We hurt your brother so bad, I feel ashamed and guilty. Please give me enough time and space to think of a decision..."
Howard released a deep sigh. "Okay, I will take you to your sister's house. If ever you need my company I'm just a phone call away," he said and navigated the car away from his brother's house.
A few minutes later, the car was already speeding into the highway.
Teddy sat down on the sofa beginning to feel a terrible headache pounding on his head. Although he loved Rachel so much he can never stay in this house again tormented by her memories. He had to sell this house and relocate to a place far from his wife and his brother. He will divorce Rachel, he can't continue living and seeing the same woman that his brother has an intimate relationship with, yuck! it's so disgusting!
Then he had also another big problem, he will try to uncover the mystery of his sudden disappearance. Why he vanished for two years and had no idea how it happens and heck! no memories of the last two years? Where the hell he was gone to? What he has done in the last two years? Did he suffer amnesia—or something?
...
Jessy was silently observing Teddy's face, feeling sad for him. She doesn't know if Teddy and Rachel's married life can still be saved since it's the younger brother that was involved in a love triangle, it's a heavy blow on Teddy's ego and pride.
Well...
At least this one didn't end up in a bloody end.
She believed that Teddy will come out stronger after this painful turbulence in his life.
It's now time to go back to the Facility and rest for the night.
