Bound by love: Marrying my Disabled Husband by Devocean

Chapter 160:

Kaelyn raised her hand, touching the wound, and then looked at her fingers, finding warm red blood on them. She gazed up at Theo, hoping he would feel sorry and guilty. However, she had misjudged. His eyes were filled only with hatred. Trying to force a smile, Kaelyn said weakly, “I didn’t intend to deceive you. Back then, I truly regretted hurting your feelings and lied about this matter to bring us closer.” Tears welled up as she added, “I was just too desperate for your love. I couldn’t stand to lose it.”

“If you don’t leave, I’ll have someone escort you out,” Theo said with an unquestionably stern tone.

Realizing her pleas wouldn’t change his mind, Kaelyn wiped her tears and exited the study. Before closing the door, she cast a pitiful glance back at Theo, but as soon as the door latched shut, her expression contorted, revealing a glint of malice in her eyes. Touching her wound, she sneered, “Elyse Lloyd, I thought you’d remain naive forever. Yet you’ve grown sharp since marrying.” She regretted not taking Elyse’s life that day. Now that Theo was privy to the truth, she believed it was just a matter of time before he would seek to reconcile with Elyse, rendering all of her efforts futile. She could not come to terms with this. She also couldn’t bear the thought of seeing Elyse’s joyful expression. She turned and made her way to the basement.

Mabel was being held in the basement by Theo with two bodyguards stationed at the door. Approaching them, Kaelyn said, “Theo sent me to speak with Mabel.” The two bodyguards exchanged glances then opened the basement door. Kaelyn walked in with confidence.

Mabel was unharmed, merely under house arrest by Theo. She had settled down and realized the vast differences between her and Theo. She understood that Theo would never treat her kindly. She regretted ever falling for such a cold-hearted man.
