Chapter 140

Note: Hello everyone, I’m really sorry about the delay. I’ve been really ill and hospitalized for over two weeks now, couldn’t write or type, that’s why I’ve been absent. I’m really sorry everyone and Thank you for sticking with us.

Bella sat on the edge of her hospital bed, surrounded by the cold embrace of solitude. The dim light in the room accentuated the weariness in her eyes.

She stared down at her hands, her wrist covered in bandages. The other one held in place with a cuff and chained to the bed.

Caught, she’d been caught. The last thing she remembered was escaping from Ethan with her brother then a car ramming into the two of them suddenly.

Her mind raced, contemplating the events that had led her to this moment. She has carefully covered her tracks at all time, but now, it seemed all the layers of deception had fallen apart. Ethan had actually held and threatened to throw her down a building.

“Well, Bella, looks like your games finally caught up with you,” a voice echoed within her mind, making her cover her ears with her palms.

“Shut up!” She barked.

“This is the end.” The reflection taunted.

No! It couldn’t be. Sebastian would come for her.

“No one would save you. You’re a nobody.”

“Now look at you, you’re useless!”

She was just an ordinary orphaned omega, an ambitious one who dared to demand more than what life had given her.

She did what needed to be done to achieve her goals, clearing any obstacles in the way no matter what it cost.

She raised her head, locked eyes with her reflection in the windows. Her eyes were red and puffy but still carried an icy coldness behind them.

She pointed at her reflection, “Stop talking!” She hissed.

“You’re not even a Luna, you have no money. You’re just a peasant,” the voice resonated within her mind.

She let out a shriek and hurled the stool towards the window shattering it immediately.

Bella stood panting heavily as the door swung open, revealing a man with a stoic and hardened expression. She recognized the man one of Ethan’s people.

“Let me go.” She ordered. She would look for Sebastian.

“Your brother’s gone, Bella.” The man announced to her knowing what she was thinking.

“Wh-what? No, you’re lying!” Bella stammered, her voice cracking. The room seemed to spin around her. Sebastian was gone? She stumbled forward then was jerked backwards by the cuff binding her to the bed.

“Lies!” She yelled shaking her head.

The man looked unbothered.

Moved closer then uncuffed her, “Come with me,” he ordered, dragging her. Her mind immediately went numb

She was really caught and trapped, with no where to go. Her legs wobbled and she nearly fell, she was grabbed and shoved

roughly to her feet then thrown into a pitch dark room.

“Hazel and her damn kids,” she seethed, clenching her fists. “This is all their fault. Should’ve killed her when I had the chance,” she hissed, bitterness lacing her words.

She spent hours there, the long minutes stretching making her even more miserable. It was dark and she lost track of time completely Soon the isolation and darkness began to get to her, the feeling of dread creeping upon her.

Anxiety and desperation begun to claw at her.

“Ethan! Ethan, where are you?” she shouted then begun banging at the door.

Nobody’s coming, nobody’s coming.’ her mind began to sing and taunt her. Her arms hitting the doors even more rapidly.

Finally it was thrown open and she stumbled out.

Nathan stared down at her pitiful state. This was her, the woman who killed his wife and cub.

Bella knew who he was.

Bella grabbed at his legs desperately

“Get me out of here.” She cried out.

He kicked her away from his legs.

Staring at her he felt almost nothing. He had just come for himself to see how miserable she was.

“Throw her back in.” He instructed turning to walk away.

“No wait!” She yelled in dread.

“Kill me.” She pleaded. She had no doubt that whatever was coming for her would be worse than dying here and now.

“You deserve every ounce of suffering that comes your way.” Nathan muttered.

The guard at Nathan’s command closed in, their expressions cold and merciless.

“Deal with her. Make sure she suffers. Make sure she regrets being born.”

Bella finally snapped, and she began to cackle, the remnants of her mind slipping through her fingers like sand.
