After Divorce, I Married The CEO 203
Chapter 203While Jane was still lost in her thoughts, Caleb was walking from one end to another, also wondering.“I don't trust her," he said all of a sudden and Jane's head snapped up to him.“What?" “I don't know if we should trust Abigail. Everything's been so suspicious and coincidental lately. I mean… she appears after these years, and so does Marcus and Xavier and of all people to model for, it's you. I don't know it's just…” Caleb shook his head."Well I'm pretty sure Abigail has nothing to do with them escaping. She hasn't even heard from him since then.”"But you can't be so sure, can you?”Jane opened her mouth to respond but the knock on the door cut her off. Caleb shook his head and resumed his position at the edge of his desk while Jane went to the open the door.“Hey," she said with a small smile.“Jane, it's so relieving to see you ag—" Abigail stopped halfway when her eyes met Caleb. His sharp gaze was enough to cut out the oxygen from her lungs for a few seconds.“

Chapter 202By the second day, both Jane and Caleb were a little more relaxed and more hopeful. The previous day, they had been able to raise a hundred and fifty million dollars, and after the news of what was going on got to Rose, she reached out to a few friends who raised an extra seventy million before midnight. Caleb was not quite comfortable that she had called on people to make donations but he was grateful that they could without being told what was going on in detail. “Alright, I'll see you at the office,” Jane told Caleb that morning and planted a soft kiss on his cheek before leaving the room. The Judge had easily approved the plea for Talia to stay with Rose for a brief period, thanks to Ross and Jane decided to go along with the driver to make sure Talia got there without any drama. Having one child taken away from her was traumatizing enough. She wasn't going to take any risk. He finished dressing up and went downstairs to see Lillian and Trevor having their breakfas

Chapter 201After a few seconds of staring at the completely blank screen, Rodriguez cleared his throat and broke the silence.“Well that was not very…”"Call him again,” Jane interrupted, not quite sure what the negotiator was about to say. Her voice was thin but held so much urgency and with the way Caleb quickly began to tap his screen to call Xavier back, she knew they both thought the same thing: if they didn't speak with Xavier before their deadline elapsed, things could go really sour.Thankfully, Xavier answered again and his sneering face filled the screen.“What the hell do you want now, Caleb?!" “Just calm down for a second and hear us out, Uncle!" Caleb fired back, his fist banging against the table as well. Rather than respond immediately, Xavier moved away from the camera for a second and then returned with his massive hand clamped over Toby's mouth.“Toby!" Jane and Caleb screamed out simultaneously, both springing to their feet. Jane's blood ran cold and tears prick

Chapter 200"Mr Lockwood, trust me I understand that you're under a lot of pressure but there are only a few assets we can sell off within a few hours. Despite that, it won't amount to even a quarter of what the ransom is.”Caleb sighed and ran a hand through his hair."And what about the estates, David?” Jane asked Caleb's lawyer. "Is it not possible to find buyers before our time elapses? There must be people who trust us enough to make payment before we arrange paperwork and all that.”"That is completely true, Mrs Lockwood, but if we want to raise at least more than half of the ransom, the luxury estates have to be sold off soon and, to be honest, it'll be pretty difficult to convince buyers to pay a huge amount without going through the normal protocol whether or not we can be trusted. I'm so sorry.”"But they might concede when they understand the issue at hand, won't they?” Jane probed, ignoring his sympathetic apology.“Like you said, they "might”. But I can start making a few

Chapter 199“What the hell is going on, Abby? Why are you doing this? You don't have to leave,” Robin said in a pained voice as he watched Abigail pack up her and Ellie's clothes into a bag. "Come on, Abigail, I told you I was sorry for complaining about the coffee,” he continued frustratedly."This is not about the coffee, Robin.”“So what's it about? I know it hasn't been the best of years but we've stayed together and we were happy despite that.”"Happy?” Abigail scoffed. "There's nothing to be happy about when you live in abject poverty, Robin. I can't keep up with your little complaints anymore. You always seem to find something I'm not doing right so it's better for me to just leave.”"And go where exactly, Abby?”"I don't know. Anywhere but here," Abigail rolled her eyes and continued to pack. Why was he making this so hard for her? She wondered and decided to maintain the “annoyed girlfriend" front.“But what about Ellie? Come on, Abigail. You know I don't pay rent here. Don'

Chapter 198“Alright, I've spoken to the probation officer," Caleb said as he walked into Toby and Talia's room. Jane was seated on Talia's bed and dressing her up while fighting back tears.“Well? Is it possible?" Jane asked.“They'll have to get a letter of approval from the judge first before we can take any step but it won't be more than a day," he responded and Jane nodded.They both had agreed that it would be better if Talia stayed with Rose and got homeschooled there while they figure everything out.“Mommy are you okay?" Talia asked in a small shaky voice."I'm fine, baby. Do you want to wear the pink or the purple scrunchie?” Jane asked, forcing out a smile."The pink one," Talia replied unexcitedly. "Mommy, what about Toby?" Jane stilled at the suddenness of the question and, noticing her reaction, Caleb walked to them. “Toby's gonna be joining us soon, honey, let's…”"No, I got this," Jane raised a hand to stop Caleb from picking Talia up. “I got this," she repeated mor
