Chapter: 486
Rolf had mentioned it briefly before, but she lacked the full details of the incident.
Without waiting for her response, Larry gazed out the window, saying, "At the time, Tyrone was just starting his internship in the company.
Caught between academics and work, he unintentionally neglected Galilea. Following a heated argument, she ran off crying, yet he didn't pursue her. It was only when her friend alerted him that he realized she was missing.
Soon after, he received a ransom demand for Galilea's release. The kidnappers had targeted her because of Tyrone. If he complied, perhaps Galilea would've been safe. But Tyrone, stubborn as he was, refused to yield to threats. He informed the police. Somehow, the kidnappers found out... Subsequently, they raped Galilea."
The reality hit her hard.
Sabrina felt a pang of sympathy.
His loved one had been abducted and abused due to his mishandling. His guilt and remorse were understandable.
Larry, despite being a Blakely, was raised amidst wealth and had access to all material comforts. Yet, he craved his parents' affection, a void Tyrone couldn't possibly fill.
But, Galilea was a different story.
As long as Tyrone stood by her, he could make amends for the horror she had endured at the hands of her captors.
Thus, he pledged his responsibility towards her.
If she had been in Tyrone's shoes, she might have done the same.
However, she found herself unable to love him the way she once did.
She accepted their fate. They had to move on.
Life was full of strange twists.
Once a distant admirer of Tyrone, she found herself in close quarters with him, even tying the knot, all because of that one fateful night.
Tyrone had been single for over a year then. She was clueless about the happenings between him and Galilea.
She assumed it was a closed chapter.
Consequently, she had taken the Leap, seizing the opportunity.
She viewed it as a gift of fate.
