Married by Accident, Taming the Billionaire novel Chapter 86

Chapter 86 Cece Discovered the Secrets Hidden in the Secluded Cottage

Carlos and Remington had told her that a crazy maid had been locked up here. Was that really true?

Cecelia was so curious that she couldn't help but head for the cottage.

The front door of the cottage was locked from the outside. She used a wire and quickly unlocked the door.

She pushed the door in and the first floor was dark.

Cecelia turned on the flashlight on her phone to illuminate the room.

The house smelled musty, due to the door being closed all the time and the lack of air circulation.

After finding the stairs leading upstairs, Cecelia slowly walked up the stairs.

The higher she went, the more clearly she could hear the sound of a woman.

The door upstairs was unlocked, and Cecelia took a deep breath, pushed it open, and went inside.

The room didn't smell very good, and Cecelia saw a woman lying on the bed in the dim light.

There was a chain around her neck. Her hair was long and disheveled. She looked like a ghost, and her eyes showed desperation.

"Water... Water..."

The woman tried to reach for the glass of water on the bedside table, but she lacked the strength.

Cecelia was stunned by what she saw. Why hadn't they sent this woman, who they said was a mad maid, to a mental institution? Why had they kept her here all this time?

The most unacceptable thing was that they tied her up like a dog.

Seeing that the woman could not reach the glass of water, Cecelia went forward to help her get the glass and handed it to her.

The woman tried for a while and then reached for the glass with her shaking hands. Finally, she had some water.

After drinking the water, the woman seemed to have exhausted all her strength. The glass in her hand dropped to the floor.

She fell back on the bed and looked at Cecelia and asked in a harsh voice, "Who are you?"

Cecelia was a little shocked. The woman's words did not sound like she was crazy.

"I was just passing by. I heard you screaming and came to check it out. Who are you?" Cecelia asked.

"Shhh..."

The woman made a silent gesture, "Don't say it so loud. They'll hear you!"

"Young lady! Good girl, help me. Please save me. Get me out of here..."

"Who are you? Why are you being held here?" Cecelia asked cautiously.

"My name is Maryam Snow. My sister is Aurora Snow, the wife of the eldest son of the Nelson family..."

"Help me! Good girl, please..."

Listening to her introduction, Cecelia was shocked.

Aurora Snow was Remington's mother, so Maryam was Remington's maternal aunt.

Didn't they say that a crazy underling was being held here? But why was Maryam the one being held here?

Cecelia had realized that this was something important. Maybe Remington didn't even know that his aunt was being held here.

Why was that?

Cecelia didn't have time to think. She heard footsteps upstairs and said to Maryam, "Someone's coming. I'll hide first!"

Cecelia scurried into a hidden corner of the room.

Soon there were hurried footsteps outside the door. It was Carlos coming in with the food.

Seeing the lock on the outside door unlocked, Carlos realized the situation was not good, and he rushed upstairs to check. He was relieved to see the woman still in bed.

"Did someone come in here?"

Carlos asked as he put down the tray.

"I don't know..." Maryam replied weakly.

Seeing that she was no different than usual, Carlos walked in and picked her up to feed her.
