RADA’S POV

I don’t know what time I fell asleep last night. What’s clear is that after cleaning the blood and treating the wounds on Nicolas’s face and body, sleep just wouldn’t come.

I waited faithfully by his bedside. Even when he muttered and moaned incoherently several times in his sleep, I gently patted his arm so he could drift back into a deep sleep.

Until finally, overwhelming exhaustion overtook me. I fell asleep sitting nex

    AUTHOR’S POVCamila was, of course, absolutely shocked to hear this news. Go home? Where would Rada go? The poor woman had no family or place to stay, not to mention that her physical condition was still unstable after major surgery. How could the hospital just let her go like that?And... Nicolas... How was Camila supposed to break this bitter news to her son, who was already devastated?Camila quickly grabbed the nurse’s arm as she was about to say goodbye and leave.“Nurse, I’m sorry… do you know who she went home with? Or did you see who took her out of this room?” “I’m sorry, ma’am, I don’t know for sure. You can ask the administration office downstairs directly. Excuse me for a moment, ma’am; I need to check on the other patients,” the nurse replied politely as she stepped back.Camila nodded weakly. She hurried down the hallway toward the main administration office. She had to find out where Rada had gone. That woman still needed medical care, and her physical condition was ce

    AUTHOR’S POVNicolas felt an intense dizziness and heaviness in his head. Every joint in his body felt stiff and lifeless. He slowly opened his eyes, and instantly, the sharp scent of antiseptic flooded his senses. His gaze swept around the room—taking in an unfamiliar, all-white space.Nicolas raised his heavy arm and found an IV line attached to the back of his hand.“Am I in the hospital?” he whispered to himself, confused.The man immediately tried to sit up. He couldn’t just lie there like this! He had to find Rada right away and beg her for forgiveness. But before he could even lift himself up, his mother’s panicked voice rang out, shattering the silence.“Nicolas! What’s wrong with you, son?!”Nicolas turned to look at Camila. Without saying a word, his large fingers grabbed the IV line in his hand and yanked it out with a single, rough tug.“Ouch…!” Nicolas hissed softly as a sharp pain shot through him and blood suddenly seeped from the needle puncture site.Camila screamed h

  • The Disabled Woman: The Ruthless CEO’s Captive   CHAPTER 87: DECISIONS AND DOUBTS

    RADA’S POVThe hospital room door swung wide open. At that very moment, Rian stepped inside, his face etched with sheer panic as he found his boss lying there, helpless.“Mr. Nicolas!” he cried out, his voice trembling as he noticed the blood flowing from the man’s nose.“Get your boss out of here, Rian!” I ordered coldly, trying hard to hide the tremor in my voice.Rian glanced at me briefly. His expression suggested there were many things he wanted to tell or explain to me, but he chose to hold back. Without wasting any time, Rian swiftly hoisted Nicolas’s unconscious body and hurried out of my hospital room.As soon as Nicolas completely disappeared behind the door, my defenses crumbled completely. Unable to hold them back any longer, warm tears streamed down my cheeks.I didn’t even understand the turmoil of emotions raging inside my chest. I felt deeply disappointed and sad, while at the same time being overwhelmed by a burning fear upon seeing Nicolas’s physical condition—so cha

    RADA’S POVNicolas shook his head firmly. He roughly pushed away Dr. Nathan’s hand as the doctor tried to pull his arm to lead him out of the hospital room.“Rada, I know I was wrong… I’m so sorry. Please forgive me… “Give me a chance to make things right,” Nicolas whispered pleadingly, his eyes fixed on me with utter desperation.I stared at him blankly. Make things right? What could possibly be fixed after the devastation he’d already caused? Besides, I’d promised his mother to get as far away from his life as possible. I had to run. I couldn’t go back to being his prisoner.“I’m sorry, I can’t. Please go, Mr. Nicolas… I… I—”“Dada… It’s me…” he cut in quickly.I furrowed my brow in confusion. Dada?I was momentarily stunned by that name. Why was he calling me Dada? Could it be… that he was Nico from my childhood?“You haven’t forgotten, have you? It’s me, Dada… I’m Nico,” Nicolas continued, his voice trembling. “I once promised to make you happy… to help you blow out your birthday

  • The Disabled Woman: The Ruthless CEO’s Captive   CHAPTER 85: FEAR AND REJECTION

    RADA’S POVI didn’t immediately respond to Dr. Nathan’s offer—the orthopedic surgeon who had been treating me since I first arrived at this hospital. He was a warm man who had been extremely kind to me from the very beginning.I hesitated... Does a lowly, traumatized woman like me deserve the sincere attention of a man like him? I… I’m no longer pure. My body and soul feel so tainted that the very thought of entering a romantic relationship fills me with such fear that I don’t dare even consider it.Right now, I have only one greatest dream: to live peacefully, free from the shadows of fear and guilt that constantly haunt me.“Doctor, the operating room is ready,” a nurse’s voice cut in as she suddenly appeared in the doorway.I exhaled in relief. Dr. Nathan smiled warmly at me, then slowly pushed my wheelchair toward the operating room hallway.“Stay calm, Rada… This procedure will take quite a while, but afterward, you’ll be able to walk normally again,” he said, offering words of e

    AUTHOR’S POV“I…” Nicolas’s voice caught in his throat. The powerful man was suddenly at a loss for words. But after just a few seconds’ pause, he puffed out his chest and spoke in a loud, confident tone.“I’m her fiancé! How is my fiancée, Doctor?! What about the results of her surgery?!” Nicolas pressed urgently.The orthopedic surgeon slowly removed the medical mask covering half his face, then gazed deeply into Nicolas’s eyes.Ever since Rada first arrived at this hospital, the doctor had taken a liking to and harbored an interest in the fragile young woman. This was especially true after learning from her medical records that Rada lived all alone, with no family or lover.It was clear that the young doctor had a strong desire to fill that precious role in Rada’s life—even though Rada hadn’t yet given him an answer to his proposal that morning.But now, a domineering man with disheveled appearance had suddenly appeared, firmly claiming to be Rada’s fiancé. How was that possible?“
