Rejected No More: I Am Way Out Of Your League, Darling!

Chapter 741:

The sign read “Shadowpeak Madhouse.”

The last letter was barely visible due to weathering, while the other letters were painted in a disturbing shade of what looked like red paint or perhaps dried blood, adding to the ominous atmosphere.

“Daniela, what on earth is this place?” Elyse asked, her voice shaking.

Daniela regarded their frightened faces with contempt.noveldrama

“Didn’t you say you wanted to see Caiden? He’s inside. Let’s go.”

Elyse’s eyes widened in disbelief.

“You’re telling me Caiden is here? In a mental hospital? Why would your father be in such a place?”

Daniela had already entered before Elyse could complete her thought.

A gust of wind at the entrance made the light above sway ominously.

Elyse realized they were isolated in the desolate surroundings. She clenched her hand tighter and hastened inside for support.

The chilling wind screamed into the darkness.

“This place is unsettling. I’m covered in goosebumps,” Elyse murmured to Nina, feeling uneasy.

Their conversation was interrupted by a distant scream, accelerating their steps to catch up with Daniela.

Elyse called out, “Daniela, what caused your father’s sudden illness? Were the medical checks comprehensive?”

Without a word, Daniela ascended the stairs, her silence thickening the air around them.

The dim lights threw unsettling shadows across the room. Each step was accompanied by the sound of labored breathing, heavy and ominous.

It was as if a wild beast lurked in the darkness, silently watching their every move.

The click of Nina’s high heels echoed ominously off the sterile floors, amplifying the tension.

“Daniela, have we arrived?” Elyse asked.

In the enveloping darkness, Daniela halted and turned to them with a chilling smile.

The sight drained the color from Elyse’s face.

For a fleeting second, she thought she saw Brylee.

Daniela’s voice then cut through the heavy silence.

“Aunt, what scares you so?”

Elyse was about to dismiss her fears, but Daniela continued down the corridor before she could respond.

Leading them to the end of the hallway, Daniela stopped at a room divided by a glass partition, reminiscent of a prison visitation area. They positioned themselves on one side of the glass partition as Caiden was escorted into view from the opposite side.

The moment Caiden came into sight, Elyse and Nina were struck motionless.

Could this really be Caiden?

“Daniela!” Caiden’s voice was filled with desperation as he pounded on the glass, his actions reminiscent of a trapped beast.

“Release me!”

Daniela observed silently, her expression one of chilling detachment, as Caiden, his head shaved and body marred by injuries, continued to yell.
