Billionaire's Regret Finding Her (Caitlin and Sebastian) novel Chapter 86

Chapter 86

According to Marcus and Sebastian, there was a mad servant locked up inside. Is that really the case?

Caitlin was too curious and couldn’t control herself any longer. She walked toward the small building,

The door was locked from the outside, but this wasn’t a problem for Caitlin. She quickly picked the lock with a wire.

As she pushed the door open and stepped inside, the first floor was pitch black.

Caitlin turned on her phone’s flashlight to dispel the darkness. The house emitted a faint musty odor, probably because it had been shut up for so long. and the air had stagnated.

She found the stairs leading to the second floor and slowly ascended. The closer she got to the top, the clearer she could hear a woman’s moaning.

The door upstairs wasn’t locked. Caitlin took a deep breath, pushed it open, and walked in.

The room smelled bad, and under the dim light, Caitlin saw a woman lying on the bed.

She had a chain around her neck, her long hair was disheveled, and she looked half–human, half–ghost, with a glint of despair in her eyes.

“Water… water…” the woman mumbled, trying to reach for a glass of water on the bedside table, but she was just too weak to grab it.

Caitlin was stunned by the sight before her. For a mad servant, why hadn’t they sent her to a mental hospital? Why had they kept her locked up here? What was even more shocking was the fact that they had chained her up like an animal.

Seeing the woman struggle to reach the cup, Caitlin stepped forward, picked it up, and handed it to her.

The woman’s trembling hand finally grasped the cup and drank the water.

After drinking, she seemed to lose all her strength. The cup slipped from her hand and fell to the floor, shattering.

She collapsed back onto the bed, facing Caitlin, and with a hoarse voice, asked, “Who are you?”

Caitlin was taken aback. From the way she spoke, this didn’t sound like a crazy person at all.

“I’m just passing by. I heard you calling and came to see. Who are you?” Caitlin asked.

“Shh-” The woman made a silencing gesture. “Don’t speak so loudly. They’ll hear you!”

“Miss, kind–hearted Miss, please help me. Save me… Take me out of here…”

“Who are you exactly? Why are you locked up here?” Caitlin asked carefully.

“My name is Octavia. Eliza Lopez is my sister. She’s the madam of The Vanderbilt Family…”

“Please save me, kind–hearted Miss, please…”

When she introduced herself, Caitlin was shocked.

Eliza was Sebastian’s biological mother, and Octavia was Sebastian’s aunt. It wasn’t supposed to be a mad servant they were hiding here, so why Octavia?

Caitlin now realized that this matter was far more serious than she had imagined. It seemed like Sebastian himself didn’t even know that his aunt had been locked up here. What was the reason behind it?

Caitlin didn’t have time to think further when she heard footsteps approaching. She quickly told Octavia, “Someone’s coming. I’ll hide!”

Chapter 86

She quickly stepped into a hidden corner of the room.

Not long after, hurried footsteps ran up the stairs. It was Marcus, bringing food.

When Marcus saw that the door outside was unlocked, he realized something was wrong and quickly ran upstairs to check. When he saw the woman still lying on the bed, he relaxed.

“Did anyone come here earlier?” Marcus asked, placing the tray down.

“I don’t know…” Octavia answered weakly.

Seeing that she seemed fine, Marcus moved closer, helped her sit up, and began to feed her.

Caitlin, still hidden in the shadows, was deep in thought. Why was Marcus lying? He knew the person locked up wasn’t a mad servant. Why was he lying?

What was their true purpose for keeping Octavia here? Did her disappearance have anything to do with Eliza’s?

What happened next sent a chill down Caitlin’s spine.

She had thought Marcus was an upright person, but to her horror, after feeding Octavia, he actually pinned her down and assaulted her.

After confirming that he had left, Caitlin stepped out from the shadows and looked at the woman on the bed. Her eyes were filled with a hopeless expression.

Caitlin didn’t answer right away. She sat down on the bed, looked at him, and asked, “Sebastian, do you remember if your aunt’s name was Octavia?”

“Yes, that’s right. Why?”
