Your Regrets Mean Nothing To Me
Chapter 19

Chapter 19 

Guilt crashed Odessa as reality sank in – she’d betrayed the little girl who’d sacrificed everything to protect her .

In the studio , she turned to Stellan with desperate eyes , her composed facade finally crumbling “ Please , Dr.

Rookwood , ” she pleaded , tears streaming down her face .

“ Let me see her .

One chance to apologize .

Elysia’s kind — she’ll forgive me .

We can be sisters again .

” 

The studio met her pleas with icy silence , contemptuous sidelong glances scraping against her like frost .

The viewers hostility manifested instantly in the chat .

You destroyed our sweet Elysia ! ] 

[ You think you deserve to see Elysia ? Your apology o 

comes ten whole years too late .

What right do you have to expect her forgiveness ! Keep dreaming , traitor .

] 

[ She knew about human trafficking and said nothing ! Doesn’t that make Odessa an accomplice ! The police should arrest her too ! ] 

[ I’ve disliked her for a while now , but this really shows her true colors .

She knew the truth back then but just sat back and watched everyone cyberbully Elysia .

Makes me sick 

Each comment struck like a sharp sword , piercing straight through Odessa’s heart .

She stared wide – eyed at the endless scroll of attacks , pain etched across her face .

.

Meanwhile , she wondered if Elysia had felt this same crushing pain when the entire internet turned against her over the plagiarism accusations .

Even Caellan’s certainty wavered .

He wondered if this betrayal had transformed Elysia , destroying her ability to trust .

“ Whack done is done , Fenwick cut in , voice sharp as steel “ Will dwelling on the past wake Rowena ! Erase Elysia’s victims ‘ suffering ? ” 

His harsh words , delivered with cold mockery , shattered any illusions , forcing them to face the brutal reality .

The room fell silent again .

[ The screen’s working again ! Everyone look ! ] 

They all turned as one to the screen , Odessa hastily wiping her tears , eyes fixed desperately .

She yearned to see Elysis escape – anything to ease her guilt .

Instead , a scene of horror materialized before them .

Elysia lay brutalized , fresh wounds layered over barely healed scars .

Blood soaked her clothes as she stirred weakly on the ground , consciousness slowly returning 

Two pairs of legs filled the frame – Lyra and her husband locked in frantic discussion 

“If Odessa reaches the city , she’ll expose everything ! ” Lyra pared with anxiety .

She’d chased blindly for over a mile in that direction until a fellow villager told her no one had passed through – only then did she realize she’d been deceived .

“ What if the police come? ” 

“ Calm down .

Can’t replace a buyer now – you beat her too badly ,” Dorian grunted .

“ Maybe sell her to Brady’s Lab Research subject ” 

Lyra shifted guiltly .

She hadn’t meant to go that far , “ Lab rat money enough for Ethan’s house ? ” 

“ House ? ” Dorian barked a laugh .

“ We can’t stay here ! That runaway’s from a wealthy Emily of Stoneford .

She saw our faces ! ” 

He kicked at Elysia’s still form on the floor .

This one’s family took down their missing posters .

No ransom value .

Ten thousand dollars upps as a test subject .

” 

“ Stupid woman ! ” His palm cracked across his wife’s face .

“ Lost one and ruined the ochert 

“ How dare your Lyra touched her reddening cheek .

“ You wanted to kill her on that woman’s orders .

I saved her .

Even if we only got ten thousand dollars out of it , that was my call ! ” 

Their brewing fight died at a child’s voice .

“ Mom , don’t sell Elysia .

Let her be my wife instead .

Elysia , why are you on the floor ! Is it cool down ⠀⠀⠀⠀ there ! Aww , the bugs båt you again ?.

So many bites – lots of blood ! ” 

Ethan’s round face filled the screen .

For the first time , viewers got a clear look at the former chubby kid , and the chat’s reaction was immediate .

[ A complete idiot .

I 

[ Bugs causing that much blood ! How stupid is this spoiled brat ? ] 

[ Maybe they always explained her beatings as “ bug bites “ ? 

[ He said “ again “ —this must be routine .

My heart breaks .

Back in the memory , Lyra observed her simple son’s interaction with Elysia , cold calculation replacing any maternal warmth in her eyes .

Chapter 19 

Shrid originally hoped to sell both girls for hundreds of thousands .

Now she weighed a new option – keeping Elysia as Exharis wife would be worth 

mère than a measly ten thousand 

“ We’ll move to other states .

That’ll save money for Laban’s marriage ” Lyra devided .

“ Are you insane ? ” Dorian exploded .

“ Hale her forever ! We won’t even manage the suburby “ .

slipped back into darkness amid their arguing , leaving viewers desperate to know her fate .

[ She must escape eventually she’s free DOW ] 

[ Human test subjects .

these traflickers have connections that go deeper than we thought .

The fact they know people who do human experiments is 

[ Wild theory time what if Sweet Elysia got sold to sane lab arst came back as Evil Elysia 201 Used her new villainous powers to escape and now she’s on a revenge tour Making everyone pay ! I 

[ Wait = didn’t the trafficker mention that the Draytons gave up searching for Elysia ? Is that why she’s making them suffer now ! 

The comment struck a nerve .

“ Ballshit ! We never stopped ! ” Fenwick’s polish cracked .

“ She’s just greedy .

Had everything bui wanted Rowena’s life too .

Bullied Rowena , seduced her fare , and abused our name .

Compare her to Romena – night and day .

Keep watching 

Even Fenwick’s loyal fans fell silent , shocked to hear lum defend his stepsister while condemning his own blood .
