“Mom…”
Even in her unconscious state, Charlie kept whispering for her mother.
The woman glanced over at Charlie’s thin, fragile form, her eyes colder than ice as she reached for the girl’s neck.
Her fingers tightened slowly, squeezing the air from Charlie’s throat, little by little.
Charlie’s breath caught, her pale face turning a bluish purple as she struggled for air.
But just as the darkness started closing in, the woman let go.
No, strangling Charlie here would be far too easy on Charles and Evelyn.
Now that Charlie had lost her memory, there were better ways—crueler ways—to make Charles and Evelyn really suffer.
“Drive,” the woman ordered, her gaze finally leaving Charles and Evelyn and settling on the driver.
“Yes, Ms. Sena.”
The driver was loyal—he’d been with her since she was a child, watching her grow up and taking her wherever she needed to go.
She’d been born into the cutthroat Rochette family, where weakness meant you were tossed aside. Sickly from the start, she’d been sent away by the lady of the house, raised far from the family estate.
Ms. Sena had always been gentle, kind to the drivers and housekeepers, never letting her illness break her spirit.
Three months ago, after a successful surgery, she finally got her health back.
Everyone should have been happy for her. But then, something changed—almost overnight, Ms. Sena seemed like a different person. Her moods swung wildly, her expression often clouded over with a strange darkness.
She had never meddled in family affairs before. Yet here she was, taking in the Rochette family’s unwanted child.
At first, the driver thought maybe she was just being kind.
But after seeing Ms. Sena nearly choke the little girl to death, he realized he’d been wrong.

The readers' comments on the novel: The Day Our Promise Breaks (Charles and Evelyn)
I'm fed up with this novel eish...
What a bad novel. Evil deeds rules the entire story, no ending, villains characters succeed, no way out for the good people. I was hoping for better twists but disappointed again and again. Time close the book for me, no more, enough....
When will Evelyn's sufferings end? You mean to say evil rules the world? No longer funny, the twists are getting ridiculous....
Wow Finally! Thanks!...
More chapters please...
