My Great Escape Led Me to You (Emily Blair) novel Chapter 1089

Tate Vargas had always carried a sense of guilt when it came to Isabella. Hearing her beg like this, her voice breaking with desperation, made his heart twist. He couldn’t help it. Instinctively, his mind started racing for ways to help her, even though he knew he shouldn’t.

Isabella clutched the phone, her voice trembling. “Please, Dad, I can’t stay here anymore. I’m begging you. Can’t you do something? I really can’t take it. If I stay here any longer, I’ll lose my mind. Please… Dad… please.”

Tate felt himself slipping. Her tear-stained face, her pleading eyes, they nearly broke him. He squeezed his eyes shut and let out a long, heavy sigh.

“Oh, Isabella…”

Isabella could sense his hesitation and pushed harder, hope flickering in her voice. “Please, Dad. You finally found me. Don’t let me keep suffering. Please, I can’t take it anymore.”

Right then, Tate felt his resolve almost completely crumble. Part of him just wanted to give in and make it all better for her. But another part, the part that knew better, pulled him back.

He knew he couldn’t keep shielding her. If he helped her dodge the consequences again, she’d only get more reckless, make bigger mistakes down the road. He didn’t want to hurt her, but he had to do what was right. He’d already failed her once. He couldn’t let himself do it again. He still wanted her to find her way, to grow up the right way.

Slowly, Tate opened his eyes and spoke, his voice steady but gentle. “Isabella, I can help you if you’re willing to make things right. If you want to change, I know the world will give you another chance. You can still make your own life, I promise you.”
