His Betrayal, His Regret Chapter 77 - A Waking Nightmare
Isabel’s POVWhen I opened my eyes, the world around me had shifted. The sterile, whitewashed walls of the private hospital were gone. They were replaced with a dull, muted gray. The beeping machines were replaced by eerie silence, punctuated by distant murmurs and the occasional shout. My heart raced as I realized something was terribly wrong.I tried to move, but my wrists and ankles were restrained. Thick leather straps bound me to the bed. They were too tight, cold and unyielding against my skin. Panic surged through me. But I bit it back, trying to stay calm. Where was I? What had happened?A strange, unsettling laugh filled the room. I turned my head to see a woman in the bed next to mine. Her hair was a mess of tangles. Her eyes were wide and wild, darting around as if she saw something I couldn’t. "Ha ha ha! Another idiot!" she shrieked. Her laughter was maniacal, echoing through the small room.My blood ran cold. I wasn’t in a normal hospital. I was in a mental institution.
His Betrayal, His Regret Chapter 78 - Patient Number 25
Isabel’s POVI followed the nurse down the narrow, dimly lit hallway. Each step felt like walking into a nightmare I couldn’t wake from. My feet were bare. The cold tiles sent shivers up my spine. The thin hospital gown clung to my body, offering no warmth, no protection. Even my wig was gone. I felt stripped, vulnerable and exposed. As if everything that made me Isabel had been taken away. I had nothing but my fear.We reached a small consultation room. The moment I stepped inside, the door slammed shut behind me with a loud click. I spun around, heart racing. But the door was locked. I was trapped, again.My breath quickened, panic rising in my chest. The room was stark, bare. No windows. No escape. My reflection flickered in the glass of a single hanging light above the desk. I looked like a ghost, pale and gaunt. A shadow of the woman I used to be.Moments later, the door creaked open again. A doctor in a white coat walked in, followed closely by a nurse. I wanted to scream, to
His Betrayal, His Regret Chapter 79 - Theatre of Madness
Isabel’s POVWhen I woke up again, the first thing I felt was the tight pressure of the restraint belts pinning my wrists and ankles to the bed. My head was throbbing. My body felt weak, drained of any strength.I groaned, turning my head to the side. I winced at the sharp pull from the IV drip embedded in the back of my hand. A thin tube snaked from the needle into a bag of clear liquid hanging beside me. Nutrient solution, maybe—but who knew what they were feeding into my system? Poison? Drugs? Something to keep me weak and docile?The thought sent a chill down my spine. My heart was thudding in my chest like a trapped bird, desperate to escape. I pulled weakly against the restraints, but they held firm. I was tied down like a lab rat waiting to be experimented on. My mouth felt dry. My lips were chapped from whatever sedative they'd forced into me earlier.What did they want from me? Why was I here? I hadn’t even had a chance to figure it out before they drugged me again. But I wa
His Betrayal, His Regret Chapter 80 - No Avail
Isabel’s POVThe nurse approached me with unnerving calm. Her blonde hair was meticulously styled beneath her cap, not a single strand out of place. Her face was almost unnaturally symmetrical—high cheekbones, a straight nose, and full lips. On the surface, she was beautiful. In a way that seemed too perfect, too calculated. But there was an eerie stillness to her movements. A cold precision in the way she glided across the room that made my skin crawl. Her pale blue eyes, though framed by soft lashes, lacked any warmth. They didn’t seem to see me as a person, but as an object to be controlled. A chill ran down my spine as I realized there was something deeply off about her. Every instinct screamed at me to be cautious, to watch her every move. Her beauty, so flawlessly constructed, felt more like a mask. Hiding whatever lay beneath. Whatever it was, I knew I had to tread carefully. She wasn’t just a nurse. She was something far more dangerous.Her hands were steady as she held out

It offered no protection from the cold, steel room. I felt more exposed, vulnerable and frightened than I ever had.How did it come to this? Who got me into this place, and why?I thought losing my baby was the worst thing that ever happened to me. But now, I wasn’t so sure. This was the most unsafe and terrifying environment I had ever found myself in.The nurse’s footsteps echoed in the small room as she came closer. Each step made my heart pound faster. There was nowhere to run. I was tied to the bed, my wrists bound tightly. Even the room itself was sealed shut. My claustrophobia came up like never before. “Somebody, help me,” I prayed silently, squeezing my eyes shut for a moment. “Please… I can’t do this alone…”The nurse had reached my bedside. “Alright, let’s finally get this over with,” she sighed, casting an angry glance at Ma

The difference was that I had a throbbing headache and intense stomach cramps that were worse than the last time. Where was I? What had happened?The soft hum of medical machines surrounded me. I had a throbbing headache and intense stomach cramps. Where was I? What happened?I suddenly remembered Lilith’s evil smile and hard push, then the painful fall down the staircase.
