All Chapters of His Regret, Her Reign: Chapter 1 - Chapter 6

"Stop acting like you're dying. It's just a minor procedure."Martha Lynn checked her diamond watch, tapping her foot impatiently against the sterile hospital floor. She looked at her daughter not with concern, but with the annoyance one might show a malfunctioning appliance.Keira leaned heavily against the cold wall, her face the color of paper. Her legs were trembling so violently she could barely stand.Minor procedure was an ironic way to describe a hymenoplasty performed without anesthesia.But Keira didn't argue. She simply bit her lip, tasting blood, and forced herself to straighten up."I'm ready," Keira whispered, her voice hoarse from the screams she had swallowed earlier."Good," Martha sneered, handing her a coat to cover her trembling body. "Zoey lands in an hour. We cannot be late. You know how much Aiden cares about this family reunion. Don't ruin it with your sour face."Aiden's name sent a phantom ache through Keira's freshly stitched wounds.Her husband. The man who

Staying with Elodie last night was temporary; she couldn't impose on her indefinitely."Anywhere. Just drive," she choked out.The taxi pulled away from the Lynn mansion as Keira stared at the blurry scenery outside, tears flowing uncontrollably from her right eye.Her left eye could see nothing now, yet the pain remained relentless.She took out her phone and instinctively scrolled to Aiden's number.In the past, whenever she felt unwell, even if he despised her, he would at least send a doctor to check on her.That had been the only sweetness in her pathetic love.Now, even that small luxury was gone.Keira closed her eyes, plunging her world into complete darkness.Fear gripped her heart. What if her right eye also went blind?Who would take care of her? Who would care?"Ma'am, you're bleeding.
