Regina Arnold Katie NovelAfter I Died For 7 Years, She Finally Found Truth

The day Regina Harrison returned, she captured everyone's attention with her stunning presence.
Cameras flashed nonstop, but she ignored them. As soon as her plane landed, she stepped on the gas and sped straight to the nursing home.
That was where my mother, Katie Moore, was confined.
She was the mother of the man Regina had hated for seven years.
"Regina, let me out! How can you do this to me?" Katie's voice trembled with desperation. "Have you forgotten how I cared for you when you were with Arnold?"
"Don't you dare mention Arnold to me!"
Regina stormed in, her breath still uneven from the rushed drive. Without hesitation, she struck Katie hard across the face, sending her collapsing to the floor.
"What right does he have to claim he was ever with me? Back when my illness relapsed, and I was on the verge of death, he was the first to abandon me."
Her words were sharp and filled with bitterness. "And now you want to talk about favors from the past? Do you really think your family deserves any respect?"
Fueled by rage, Regina kicked Katie hard.
Panicked, I rushed to shield my mother, but it was useless. Regina's stiletto heel struck her, and Katie's groans of pain filled the room.
It was then I realized the truth. I was dead.
I had been dead for seven years.
What remained was only my spirit, powerless to protect anyone.
"Regina, Arnold didn't abandon you! He..."
He gave you his organs and chose to die in your place.
My mother's voice faltered before she could reveal the truth, so I silently finished the thought in my mind.
But Regina would never believe it. In her heart, my selfishness had long been an established fact.
Nothing anyone said would change her mind.
"He didn't abandon me? Are you joking?" Regina's sneer deepened.
"Seven years ago, Arnold called me a burden in front of everyone. He said he would never marry a woman with a broken body. Every word of his, I remember clearly. Let me be clear. I came back to take revenge on your family. No one can stop me."
Her smile was beautiful but chilling, her eyes brimming with fury.
She gestured, and several bodyguards stepped forward, surrounding Katie. One of them carried a bottle of some unknown liquid.
"You and your husband took care of me once, Katie, but unfortunately, Arnold betrayed your kindness." Regina's voice was icy.
"You like mentioning his name, don't you? Well, I hate hearing it. So I'm going to make sure you can never say it again!"
The next second, those guards pinned Katie to the floor while the liquid was forced down her throat.
I screamed and begged, trying everything I could to stop them, but nothing worked. The air felt frozen, unmoved by my desperate cries.
"Mom! Please, Regina, let her go! I'm begging you!"
My words were useless, trapped inside me. By the time the bottle was emptied, Katie's voice was gone. All that remained were hoarse, garbled sounds that barely resembled speech.
The sight of her devastated look hurt more than anything I had ever experienced.
But Regina showed no sympathy.
She even stepped back in disgust as if she had forgotten the countless days Katie had spent by her hospital bed, refusing to sleep or leave her side.
"Go back and tell Arnold that if he doesn't come to me and admit his sins, my revenge will never stop. Let him ignore my warnings if he dares. Just come and try me!" she said coldly.
I stood frozen as she walked away, her beauty sharp and unyielding.
She had changed. She was no longer the kind, gentle girl who once cried at the smallest act of cruelty.

Regina's power now was overwhelming. Burying what she had done to my mother would have been effortless.
Yet she chose not to hide it from my father, sitting calmly at home as though setting a perfect trap.
Sure enough, the very next day, my father came knocking on her door, his face filled with anguish. He wanted justice for his wife but hadn't expected to be shoved to the ground the moment he stepped inside.
"Just you? Where's Arnold? Don't tell me he's hiding from me, scared of my revenge," Regina mocked, completely missing the flash of grief in my father's eyes.
I knelt beside him, begging desperately for him to stop hiding the truth. Love, promises, final wishes... I didn't care about any of it anymore.
All I wanted was for my death to bring my family peace.
Finally, my father seemed to sense something. His voice broke as he tore open the wounds of the past.
"Regina, you'll never find Arnold... He's dead!"
The air grew eerily still the moment the words left his mouth.
I watched as Regina's expression shifted. Her sarcasm gave way to shock, which quickly transformed into unbridled fury.
"Your family really has no limits, do you? I gave you a full day to come up with a solution, and this is what you came back with? Lies to try and fool me?" she spat.
I had imagined countless ways Regina might react to learning of my death, but I had never expected this. She didn't believe it.
