The Heiress's Second Chance At Vengeance (Eliza) novel Chapter 83

Chapter 83 The Ending She Gave

The old man’s surname was Braylen. In his youth, he had a wife–but she passed away at the age of forty! The shock of losing her turned his hair white overnight, and he never remarried.

His wife had once been a music teacher. After composing her final piece, she passed away.

It was said the piece had never been completed. So, the sheet music Tyson gave her to play must have been written by Mr. Braylen’s late wife.

But…

Less than six months after Cassius Braylen’s death, another news story broke: he wasn’t just a philanthropist. but a powerful figure who straddled both the underworld and legitimate business.

Rumor had it his wife had learned of the true nature of his work, and in her grief and torment, had taken her own life. That was said to be the greatest regret of Cassius’s life.

The article Eliza had read described how this formidable man had spent his final days consumed by guilt over his wife.

That thought darkened Eliza’s gaze.

When Cassius entered the hall, he seemed to fall into deep thought upon hearing the piece.

“Mr. Cassius, are you enjoying the music?” Tyson approached him and initiated the conversation. “I stumbled across this piece by chance. The first time I heard it, I was deeply moved. I heard you’re a great loyer of music, so I specially invited a pianist to perform it tonight.”

As Eliza listened to Tyson’s nonsense, she silently rolled her eyes.

To land a deal, he’d say anything. A merchant’s mouth was never to be trusted.

Cassius didn’t respond. He simply kept listening to the piano.

The piece lasted over forty minutes. Eliza played steadily until the final segment–where, instead of ending with the expected trailing silence, she shifted the tone completely.

Tyson noticed immediately.

She had altered the ending–added her own resolution to a composition that was never meant to have one,

A song that had once wandered without end… now felt complete.

But Tyson’s expression darkened.

He had never told her to do that.

Everyone around held their breath/They all knew this piece had been written by Cassius’s late wife.

No one had ever dared to modify it, let alone perform a finished version right in front of him.

Cassius’s face, sure enough, didn’t look pleased. His expression grew stormy, and many watching began to worry for the young girl at the/piano.-

“Eliza. Stop.”

Chapter 83 The Ending She Gave

Tyson’s voice was laced with warning.

But Eliza didn’t stop. She played the final note—and only then lifted her hands.

As the last note faded, Cassius stepped forward.

Tyson’s brows furrowed.

“Who told you to play it like that?” Cassius’s voice held a stern edge.

The pressure he carried wasn’t something a normal girl could bear.

But Eliza remained calm and steady.

She met Cassius’s gaze and answered plainly, “Because I felt this song needed an ending.”

“You felt?”

“Yes.”

Eliza looked him straight in the eye. “I don’t know where this piece came from. But in it. I heard pain and torment. The composer must’ve endured long–term emotional suffering–that’s why the melody loops endlessly. But even through the sorrow, I heard deep love. I think this song was written for someone she loved.”

Cassius froze.
