Novel & Cerita Escaping The Madhouse: The Nellie Bly Story

“I’m Nelly. Housekeeper slash personal assistant to Ser Phill. He owns this house, and he’s the one who found you drifting in the sea yesterday. He rescued you and brought you here to the beach house. So, what happened to you? Are you a mermaid who took on human form? Or did you leap off a boat and swim like an Olympian? You don’t seem like you’re from around here because…” Nelly kept talking, but she had stopped listening. The moment she heard the words "sea" and "boat," her memories came rushing back. The yacht party… The red wine laced with a sedative… Charles Xiu and her Aunt Esther. Her eyes widened as vivid flashes of that night returned to her. She remembered now. And God, she was in

She knew they were taking a risk, but they had to find a safe haven. As Emma followed Julian into the safe house, she couldn't shake off the feeling that they were taking a risk. The building looked abandoned from the outside, but the interior was surprisingly well-maintained. Julian led her to a small living room with a kitchenette in the corner. "Welcome to Safe Heaven," Julian said, gesturing to the room. "It's not luxurious, but it's home for now." Emma smiled weakly, still feeling a bit uneasy. "Thanks, Julian. I appreciate it."

Of course he wouldn’t argue publicly. Wouldn’t defend emotionally. Wouldn’t respond impulsively. That’s not his style. He doesn’t fight narratives. He replaces them. --- Escalation Madison refreshes again. The page loads slower this time. Images glitch. Comments are locked. The structure of the article itself begins to break.

I was extremely exhausted from the long hours of flight and went up to my room and crashed on the bed; the next thing I knew I was mercilessly shaken to wake up as my sleep broke, I heard Antonella’s voice over me, “Z, wake up you’re going to be late for your appointment with Madam Celia!” My eyes shot open, and I was literally flying around the room getting dressed, I forgot to mention; the one thing that Madam Celia hates is when her clients are late; I ran out and found Nelly already on her bike waiting for me, I jumped on my Yamaha R6 that I had rented for the next couple of weeks. We reached one of the abandoned alley ways and parked our bikes there, I checked the time on my phone; we h

he said and returned back to his seat. “How did you get here” he asked this time more softly trying not to make her scared again, he couldn’t deny it, he could feel his heart beating for her and he felt pained that she was hurt and weak. Nelly scanned the books on his desk and picked up a pen, “I don’t know how I got here, I was trying to escape the animals that attacked me in the woods” she wrote. He read the content and arched his brows, by animals did she mean wolves, it had to be the rogues lurking in the woods.

“Ron's family is very rich, they completely trust me. They will not let me be held responsible before the law. However, do you think you can escape my hands? I will kill you, then I will burn this house, everything will be created into a fire that will burn you to death. No one will know I came here and killed you.” After Nelly said these things, her face became crazy and she was extremely excited, she did not know that all her words and actions were recorded by a small camera hidden behind her behind the bookshelf. The red flashing light is like an omen signaling that Nelly's future life will be horribly tormented by Celine.

It was a horrible sight. Bam! Harvey instantly kicked Nellie’s stomach without hesitation. Nellie screamed in pain while she was sent rolling to the back. Along with the sound of a loud bang, Nellie’s back slammed right into the wall. The beautiful nurses and doctors shrieked in fear. The security guards also instantly changed their expressions. They did not expect that something like this would actually happen. Nellie was the queen of the Blackburn City Hospital. The doctors, nurses, and even the cleaners had no choice but to pamper her unconditionally.

“Acre Hills has been burned to the ashes, what’s there to be scared of?” “Hmm, I can’t believe the director was actually the real psycho all along… the things he did to people in there…” “I’m just glad he was in there when that nuthouse went up in flames.” “If it wasn’t for Marcel Rayburn, we would all be dead by now.” Betty calmly interrupted the group of chatty customers munching on their early morning breakfast at her newly renovated diner, somewhat feeling a sense of relief in the depths of her heart. “But, how did she do it?...”

The stronger Elle got, the more her permanent injuries and scars would fade away. As always, Nellie would end her day writing in her journal. She had a safe hidden under the floor, underneath her bed. She had found it in the skips behind the packhouse. Now that Robert rarely spent time in the home, she had a lot more freedom to pen her thoughts and to plan. Most nights she could feel pain through the mate bond, as he slept with whore after whore. She had started to have nosebleeds when he played away, and she knew that his playing away was destroying the bond and her. Soon we can reject him, Elle promised her.

(Isabella’s POV) The safe house was a tomb, filled with the ghosts of a life that wasn't mine. Dust sheets covered the heavy, ornate furniture, and the air was thick with the stale, stagnant scent of time. The brutal, adrenaline fueled escape from Bianchi’s gala felt a world away, but the true horror of the night was just beginning to settle in my bones, a cold, creeping dread that no locked door could keep out.
