Chapter 497
Kaylee:
I drove the entire night heading back home.
When I arrived, thankfully, nobody else seemed to be awake. It was late at night.
I got out of the car and instantly rushed into the house, finding my father pacing anxiously as he waited for me.
“Kaylee, where the heck were you?” my father demanded.
I gave him a hand gesture to let him know I was fine and that he did not need to make such an issue.
“I’m fine. Everything is fine,” I told my father.
I kept taking shallow breaths and smiling, and my father noticed.
“What did you do?” he asked me, looking concerned.
“I got rid of something that will hurt Madeline so much,” I replied, still smiling as tears blurred my vision.
“Oh, daughter, what have you done?” my father said, approaching me and gently holding my arms.
I just kept smiling at him.
“You will find out after one month with everybody else,” I stated.
“Now, I’ll go and rest. I’m really tired,” I added as I walked toward my room.
I could tell my father was still standing in his spot, confused and worried, but I was going to sleep very peacefully tonight.
After taking a shower and getting into bed, I started to smile to myself.
“Madeline, you have no idea what is coming for you,” I whispered, shifting in the bed.
“The pain it will cause you.”
As I said that, I gently rubbed my back.

“The pain it will cause you.”
As I said that, I gently rubbed my back.
“Ouch,” I complained.
The pain kept increasing.
I shifted uncomfortably in the bed a few more times before sitting up.
I felt as if there was so much pressure in my body that I was going to pass out.
“Ah!” I cried out.
“Fuck!” I groaned again as my back and body hurt so damn much.
I turned around and grabbed water from the side table, then picked up a sleeping pill.
Maybe the exertion had just tired me.
I placed the pill in my mouth and drank the water. Slowly, the pain began to fade, probably because I had fallen asleep.
When I woke up, everything around me was pitch black. There was no light, no lamp on.
“Daddy? Daddy, why are the lights out?” I called for my father.
The minute I spoke loudly, thunder crashed and the windows flew open. The blankets were blown away, and I watched the

curtains whip around.
It felt like the worst storm imaginable. But why was it so strong that even the windows had burst open?
“Daddy, what is going on?” I screamed at the top of my lungs as I jumped out of bed and rushed toward the living room.
Halfway there, I placed my hand on my belly and did not feel the bump.
“Wait, what is going on? Where are my children? I was pregnant,” I cried, looking around.
Then I saw Baxter standing in the distance at the main gate.
The only thing lighting the place was the lightning. Every time it flashed and went dark again, he was one step closer to me.
When it turned dark once more, I heard my heartbeat pounding in my ears. The lightning struck again, and Baxter was so close that he wrapped his fingers around my neck.
“You have wished ill upon so many people that you do not deserve happiness either. This is karma coming back to you for your evil deed,” he said, staring at me with a monstrous expression.
“No,” I screamed.
I woke up with my hand in the air.
I was covered in sweat and hyperventilating. I realized I had been dreaming.
It was just a nightmare, but there was a storm outside. I could hear it.
It was morning.
My father rushed in to check on me.
“Are you okay? You were screaming so loud,” my father asked.
Concern spread across his face when he noticed how drenched in sweat I was.
Suddenly, my face tightened.
I placed my hand on my belly and looked at my father.
“Ah, Daddy, it hurts,” I screamed in excruciating pain.
“Then let me take you to the hospital,” my father said.
The minute he said that, I shook my head and forced a smile onto my lips.
“Daddy, I’m only eight months pregnant. I’m fine. My due date is still weeks away, so relax,” I replied, forcing a normal tone before clearing my throat.
“It was probably from waking up so abruptly,” I lied, biting my tongue.
I did not want to admit that I was feeling discomfort.
Maybe it was from the exertion from last night.
I did not want to rush.
“Oh,” my father sighed, placing a hand on his chest. “Then get ready. Freshen up. We will have breakfast together.
He smiled at me and walked out of the room.
The minute he left, I touched my belly and noticed how hard it felt, almost like there were bricks inside.

I pressed my palm against it and frowned, thinking about the movement of my children.
I had not felt them move since I returned home.
There had not been much time to notice it, but still.
I was still in pain. It was coming and going.
I reached for my phone, my hands shaking from the pain, and decided to send a good morning message to Penny.
“Penny, I hope you’re having a good morning. I hope you’re not walking around too much. Make sure you don’t put too much strain on your body, or you will lose the children. Just friendly advice.”
As soon as I hit send, I smiled to myself, imagining the look on her face.
The minute she read the text, the pain returned, and this time it was so intense that my face tightened.
“Fuck,” I grunted as I forced myself out of bed.
When I stood up and turned around, my eyes landed on the white sheets.
There were blood spots on them. 1
That was when fear wrapped itself around me.
