Semua Bab Her Cold-Hearted Alpha’s Regret: Bab 71 - Bab 80

Livia’s POVI didn’t rush out. No, I walked slowly, my steps measured and controlled because panic would ruin everything.Behind me, Bella’s muffled screams still echoed faintly through the hallway, clawing at the walls like a trapped animal. The sound should have unsettled me, but instead, it curled into something warm inside my chest. It was so satisfying, but still, I schooled my face into concern the moment the doctor stepped out.“She just snapped?” he asked, adjusting his glasses, his brows furrowed with confusion as he looked at me.I exhaled shakily, lowering my gaze as though the weight of the situation was crushing me. “I don’t understand it either,” I whispered. “We were just talking and then suddenly…” I paused, letting my voice tremble, “She started screaming, throwing things, and accusing me of things that don’t even make sense.” I narrated to the doctor in a calm voice.The doctor sighed, rubbing his temple. “She was highly agitated. We had to sedate her.” He said as h

Zach’s POVThe road stretched endlessly ahead, but I could not feel the movement of the car. It was as if I was floating, detached, weightless, and lost.My fingers tapped restlessly against my thigh, my jaw clenched so tight it hurt. Something was wrong. Not just wrong but terribly wrong, and no matter how hard I tried to piece things together, everything slipped through my mind like sand.I turned sharply to Perry. “Why weren’t you with me?” I asked, my voice came out low, controlled, but underneath it was something darker. “You are always with me,” I added, but Perry didn’t answer immediately.That alone made my stomach twist. Instead, Perry reached into his pocket, pulled out his phone, and handed it to me without a word. I frowned, snatching it.“What is this supposed to…” I wanted to ask, but my words died mid-sentence as my eyes scanned the screen. Messages, logs, work updates, and detailed reports.All from Perry, timestamped and proving one thing.“I sent you on these?” I whis

Livia’s POVThe door creaked open with a slow, deliberate, and haunting sound. My body went rigid instantly as I leaned towards the direction of the door.Hayden had left of which I was certain. I made sure of it, and therefore no one was supposed to be here with me at this moment.So who the hell was that? Who might be at the door at this moment?My fingers curled into the sheets, my breathing tightening as anger rushed in to suppress the fear clawing at my chest.“Who’s there?” I snapped, my voice sharper than I intended. “Show yourself!” I said almost like a command, and the door pushed open fully. For a split second, my heart stopped.“Alexa…?” I whispered, disbelief lacing every syllable in me as she stepped in like she owned the shadows, graceful, silent, and dangerous. Her movements were slow, controlled but there was something off, something heavy, and she looked exhausted.Her eyes met mine, and she gave a small nod, like she had just walked through a war to get here.“You c

Chapter 77Zach’s POVThe report didn’t lie, as it shows she was actually sick, but not sick enough to stay for too long.I stared at the paper in my hand, my jaw tightening as the words blurred slightly under the weight of my thoughts.“Discharged,” I muttered, my voice low and disbelieving. “Just like that?” I asked as it didn't make sense.Bella wasn’t stable, not even close, with the way she reacted, the fear, and the confusion. It wasn’t something that just vanished overnight.My grip on the paper tightened. “Unless she was forced out.”A bitter realization settled in my chest and that explained the look on her face. The shock and the hesitation.She hadn’t been ready to leave, and yet, she had to right now.I exhaled slowly, dragging a hand through my hair. “I need answers,” I muttered to myself as I seemed confused also.But Perry’s voice echoed in my mind almost instantly. “Stay away from that place, Zach. Nothing good comes from there.”I scoffed under my breath. “Since when

Zach’s POVShe came to me quietly, too quietly as I was standing by the window, my back half-turned, my thoughts still tangled in everything that had been happening lately. The air felt heavy, like something was about to snap, and then I felt her. Bella’s fingers, soft, slow, and intentional, were resting on my shoulder.They trailed along my arm, sending a strange, unwelcome shiver through me.“Zach…” she whispered, her voice low, almost fragile but I didn’t turn immediately. I didn’t trust what I would see in her eyes if I did but she didn’t wait as her hands moved from my arm to my chest, pressing lightly, then sliding upward toward my collar. I could feel her breath on my skin already but before I could react properly, her fingers hooked into my shirt and she started unbuttoning it.I felt uncomfortable as I caught her wrist halfway. “Bella…” My voice came out tighter than I intended. “What are you doing?” I asked, my voice low and calm.She looked up at me, her eyes wide but n
