Regret Is Just The Beginning Chapter 88: Objection in Chaos
Hours later, Henry’s eyelids fluttered open slowly, as though even that simple action required effort. The bright white ceiling above him blurred in and out of focus as his eyes struggled to adjust to the light. A dull, throbbing pain pulsed at the side of his head, spreading slowly like waves. He blinked again, this time more deliberately, and turned his gaze slightly to the side, trying to recognize where he was.The faint smell of antiseptic filled his nose.The sterile neatness of the room, the white sheets tucked tightly around him, the IV line connected to his arm. Everything pointed to one place.It was a hospital.He swallowed dryly, his throat rough, his lips slightly cracked. “So this is what it feels like to wake up in a hospital room all alone?” he muttered weakly, his voice hoarse, barely audible even to himself. His eyes moved slowly around the room, searching, expecting, hoping.But there was no one.No familiar face. No voice calling his name. No warm presence sitti
Regret Is Just The Beginning Chapter 87: Flames of Truth
“Mr. Johnson,” Diana called out, her voice trembling as it struggled to rise above the crackling fire that now roared like a living beast between them and Joseph. The flames licked wildly at the broken walls, feeding hungrily on wood and debris, sending thick smoke curling into the air. Merlin held her tightly by the arm, pulling her slightly back as sparks flew dangerously close. His grip was firm, protective, his eyes scanning for any possible escape.At the side, Henry’s jaw tightened, his fists clenching as rage burned through him just as fiercely as the fire before them. “Old coot, you betrayed me?” he spat, his voice low but filled with venom, his eyes locked on Joseph’s shadowy figure beyond the flames.The heat intensified, pressing against their skin, making it difficult to breathe. The fire had spread faster than any of them anticipated, swallowing corners of the building, climbing up the cracked walls like it had a mind of its own. The air grew thicker, harsher.“The f
Regret Is Just The Beginning Chapter 86: Flames of Truth and Madness
Merlin’s chest rose and fell heavily as he struggled against the ropes binding his hands behind the chair. The veins in his neck stood out from the effort, sweat running down his face despite the cold air in the abandoned building. His fingers worked desperately, twisting, pulling, forcing against the tight knot that had dug painfully into his skin for too long.Then suddenly, there was a slight shift.The rope loosened.His eyes widened.Hope flashed through them like lightning.With one final pull, he slipped his hands free.“Diana,” Merlin called out immediately, his voice hoarse from the strain, breathing hard as he pushed himself up from the chair.Diana was still frozen where she stood, the detonator clutched tightly in her trembling hands. Her eyes remained fixed ahead, unfocused, her entire body locked in the terrifying weight of the decision she believed she had to make.“Diana!” Merlin called again, louder this time.Her fingers twitched slightly.She turned slowly toward
Regret Is Just The Beginning Chapter 85: A Choice from the Heart
Diana’s breath came fast and uneven as she took a step forward, her eyes fixed on Merlin tied helplessly to the chair in the middle of the abandoned building. The dim light flickered above them, casting unstable shadows that made the scene look even more terrifying than it already was.Her heart pounded violently against her chest.There was a bomb strapped tightly around Merlin’s torso.Wires ran across it in tangled loops, blinking lights flashing red at intervals that felt like a countdown to something irreversible. Even without hearing it clearly, she could sense the ticking, steady, cold, merciless.“Merlin…” she called again, her voice softer now, breaking under the weight of fear and desperation.She began to move toward him.Each step felt heavier than the last, like the ground itself was trying to hold her back. Her body trembled, but she didn’t stop. Her mind had already made one decision, she wasn’t leaving him there.But Merlin shook his head immediately.His eyes widen
Regret Is Just The Beginning Chapter 84: The Trap in Disguise
Diana approached the door of the small apartment slowly, her steps growing heavier with every inch she covered. The building looked old, almost forgotten, with faded paint peeling off the walls and a narrow corridor that smelled faintly of dust and damp wood. The silence around the place felt unsettling, not peaceful, just empty in a way that made her instincts restless.Before she could knock, the door opened.Edith stepped out hurriedly, her hands trembling the moment she saw Diana standing there. Her eyes looked swollen, like she had been crying for a long time, and her lips shook slightly as she reached out and grabbed Diana’s hand.“Diana,” she said, her voice breaking as she held her tightly, almost desperately. “You’re here. Hurry. I need you, please. He slipped and broke his right leg and arm. He won’t go to the hospital. He keeps saying he’d rather die than go there.”The words came out heavy, almost choking her. Tears gathered at the corner of her eyes again as she tried
Regret Is Just The Beginning Chapter 83: The Chase and the Trap
Moments later, that same night, the quiet calm they had stolen did not last.Merlin’s car tore through the empty road at a dangerous speed, the engine roaring like a beast unleashed. The tires screeched sharply against the asphalt as he made a sharp turn, the sound cutting through the silence of the night like a warning. Streetlights flashed past them in blurs of yellow and white, their glow stretching and disappearing almost instantly as the vehicle sped forward.Behind them, two black SUVs followed relentlessly.Their headlights burned brightly in the darkness, closing the distance with frightening determination.Diana turned slightly in her seat, her fingers gripping the edge of the door as she glanced into the side mirror. Her heart tightened instantly at what she saw.“They’re still there,” she said, her voice quick and tense, her eyes fixed on the reflection. “Merlin, they’re on our heels.”Merlin didn’t turn to look. His gaze remained locked on the road ahead, sharp and calc

“Hm?” Emma said, tilting her head and leaning a little closer to Selena. The classroom was still noisy, filled with the low hum of children chatting, chairs scraping lightly on the floor, and the teacher arranging books at the front. The sounds seemed to swallow Selena’s voice halfway. “What’d yo

Diana smiled.It was not the kind of smile that came from happiness or relief. It was thin, restrained, the sort that formed when someone had finally exhausted every emotion they were supposed to feel. Her shoulders were relaxed, her spine straight, her eyes steady as they met Lauren’s.“You’re re

"Mr. Golding."The sudden voice cut through the quiet of the study, sharp enough to make Henry's hand freeze mid-air. His fingers were already curled around the edge of the document inside the manila envelope, the paper slightly pulled out. He paused.Slowly, he turned his head.Mrs. Willis, the

Henry remained standing where he was, frozen like a statue carved out of shock. His mouth was still slightly open, his eyes locked on Diana across the hall as if he had just seen a ghost rise from the dead.The laughter around him faded into a blur. The clinking of glasses, the hum of dignified co
