**Title: Broken by Destiny by George Orwell – Chapter 350: Nothing Left**
As Jeremy’s gaze fell upon the screen of his phone, the abrupt end of the call with Amelia echoed in his mind like a haunting refrain. He let out a deep, exasperated sigh, a sound that seemed to resonate with the weight of the moment.
Amelia was a force of nature, unyielding and bold in every aspect of her life. She tackled challenges with a fierce determination, never flinching in the face of adversity. Yet, when it came to matters of the heart, she transformed into a ghost, retreating into the shadows of her own fears.
It was a paradox that Jeremy had come to understand well. He was acutely aware that her feelings for him weren’t rooted in dislike; rather, they stemmed from her upbringing—a life shaped by strength and independence. Love, a wild and unpredictable emotion, sent her into a panic, a feeling she could not control.
With a heavy heart, he resolved to give her the space she needed. After all, what good could come from pushing her further away? The world could be a cruel place, and even the most handsome and affluent men could find themselves alone, yearning for companionship.
How true that old adage was, he mused bitterly.
Just as he was lost in thought, his phone erupted into a cacophony of ringing, the sound sharp and insistent. He didn’t need to check the caller ID; he recognized the frantic rhythm of Bridget’s calls all too well.
He had taken the bold step of canceling the engagement online, a decision that had left Bridget seething with rage. The silence that followed his action had been deafening, and now, her fury was about to spill over.
With a steady hand, he answered the call, bracing himself for the storm.
“Jeremy! What on earth are you doing? How could you cancel the engagement like that? Do you even care about how I feel?” Bridget’s voice boomed through the receiver, a tempest of emotion that could rival thunder itself.
“I’ve made my position clear, Bridget,” Jeremy replied, his tone unwavering. “I’ve told you time and again that these arranged marriages are absurd. Our family doesn’t need to engage in political maneuvering, and I certainly don’t need a woman to ‘secure my status.’”
“I know you don’t need it,” Bridget shot back, her frustration palpable. “But Sabrina is a wonderful girl! If you let her go, you’ll never find another like her.”
“Then who is it that you think I want? Don’t tell me you believe it’s Amelia! I won’t stand for that!”
“If you’re finished, I’m hanging up,” Jeremy said, his voice devoid of hesitation. He had no interest in Bridget’s approval or disapproval.
Anyone who dared to belittle Amelia was essentially challenging him, and he had no intention of engaging in a conversation that disrespected her.
He was on the verge of disconnecting the call when Bridget’s voice cut through the air, sharp and commanding. “Wait! Come home. Right now.”
She knew that he was seconds away from ending the call, and she realized that mere words wouldn’t suffice. He needed to return to the Curran Estate, where she could confront him face-to-face.
Meanwhile, in another part of the estate…
“Sabrina, please don’t worry about anything you may have seen online. Jeremy acted impulsively, and I’ve already given him a piece of my mind,” Bridget reassured her, her tone softening as she addressed her guest.
It was the weekend, and Bridget had invited Sabrina over for a visit, hoping to provide some comfort. The moment Sabrina stepped through the door, Bridget wasted no time in questioning her, offering words of solace, and attempting to mend any rifts caused by Jeremy’s actions.
Sabrina, however, remained calm and unruffled. She listened attentively, responding with gentle politeness, her demeanor a stark contrast to the chaos swirling around her.
“Bridget, you really don’t need to worry about me,” Sabrina replied quietly. “I’ve been focused on my work at the research center and haven’t paid much attention to the rumors.”
“You’re such a sweet girl,” Bridget praised her, a smile breaking through her earlier tension. “Isn’t it true that Jeremy’s mother works at the same research center? I’ll have a word with her to ensure she looks out for you.”
In Bridget’s mind, the future was already laid out—Sabrina and Jeremy would eventually become family. She envisioned Whitney Curran, Jeremy’s mother, taking Sabrina under her wing, guiding her through the complexities of their world.
Yet, Whitney was a phantom, rarely seen and almost impossible to reach. Since the bizarre disappearance of Hendrick and the forced announcement of his “death,” she had retreated from public life, becoming an enigma. If Bridget hadn’t verified that Whitney was still working at the lab, she might have assumed that Whitney had vanished with another man, leaving her responsibilities behind.
Whitney had always seemed to lack a sense of familial duty, abandoning her child for years with little care. It was a miracle that Jeremy had turned out as well as he had, considering the circumstances. The Curran family, despite their vast empire, had a lineage that felt painfully small, a fact that weighed heavily on Whitney.
“Whitney holds a much higher position at the lab than I do,” Sabrina remarked humbly. “I rarely get the chance to see her.”
Bridget found her modesty endearing, warming to her even more.
“No matter her rank, you both share the same workplace,” Bridget said, laughter bubbling up, lightening the mood. “Sabrina, you’re far too humble for your own good.”
“Regardless, I will support you and Jeremy, no matter what happens. Don’t take his scandals with those actresses to heart. They’re nothing but fleeting rumors, not worth your time.”
“Even if I don’t approve of Amelia, trust me—Whitney will oppose it even more fiercely.”
To Bridget, Amelia was just another actress entangled in Jeremy’s life, a passing fancy that held no real significance. In the entertainment industry, actresses often dreamed of marrying into wealth, but those dreams rarely came to fruition.
Thus, Bridget felt no real concern.
“Alright, I understand. I’ll heed your advice, Bridget,” Sabrina replied softly, her voice as soothing as a gentle breeze.
Her calm demeanor, sweet nature, and polite manner made her the epitome of what elders cherished in a daughter.
Beautiful, accomplished, well-educated, and hailing from a powerful family, Sabrina was the embodiment of a perfect high-society daughter.
In the quiet aftermath of the storm, Jeremy stood at a crossroads, the weight of his decisions pressing heavily upon him. The echoes of his conversation with Bridget lingered in the air, a stark reminder of the expectations that had shaped his life. He had chosen to defy the path laid out for him, to step away from the suffocating embrace of tradition and the hollow promises of an arranged marriage. Yet, as the reality of his feelings for Amelia washed over him, he grappled with the bittersweet truth that love, in all its chaotic beauty, often came hand in hand with vulnerability and fear. The space he had given Amelia felt both liberating and suffocating; he yearned for her to break free from her self-imposed shadows, yet understood that true love could not be forced.
Meanwhile, Bridget’s attempts to mend the rift with Sabrina revealed the complexities of family dynamics and societal expectations that loomed over them all. As she envisioned a future entwined with Jeremy and Sabrina, the stark contrast between her aspirations and Jeremy’s heartache became glaringly apparent. The world around them was filled with whispers of duty and propriety, but in the depths of their hearts, a longing for authenticity prevailed. The chapter closed on a poignant note, underscoring the fragility of human connections and the profound impact of choice. In a world dictated by destiny, Jeremy found himself standing resolute, ready to confront whatever came next, even if it meant facing the unknown alone.
In the next chapter of “Broken by Destiny,” readers can expect the tension to escalate as Jeremy returns to the Curran Estate to face Bridget’s wrath head-on.

Will Jeremy stand firm in his convictions, or will Bridget’s relentless pursuit of control force him to reconsider his choices? The dynamics between the characters are set to shift dramatically, as old wounds are reopened and new alliances are tested.
Meanwhile, Amelia’s presence looms large, even in her absence. As Jeremy grapples with his feelings for her, the emotional turmoil will lead him to make decisions that could alter the course of his life forever. Will he find the courage to confront his own fears and pursue the love that seems just out of reach? The chapter will delve into the complexities of love, loyalty, and the burdens of expectation, all while teasing the possibility of unexpected twists that could change everything. Prepare for revelations that will challenge Jeremy’s understanding of family, duty, and the true meaning of happiness.
