CHAPTER 79
BELLA'S POV
I heard the door close. I clenched my fists, and an involuntary scream escaped my lips.
The moment my brain could tell that Kaden and his nurses were gone, it was like it all came flooding back. The heart-wrenching feeling of Kubala's words, the helplessness of running through the woods, the shards of what remained of my hope in love.
It wasn’t just sadness. I felt hate.
I hated what I had let myself become. For thinking one man would save me. For believing anything Kubala ever promised.
I sank my head into the pillows, muffling the next round of screams.
Eventually, my throat felt sore and my eyes went dry. I couldn't bring myself to cry anymore. It was useless.
I laughed bitterly, like someone who finally accepted something they never wanted to believe.
