Goodbye, Ex-Husband, Next Please CHAPTER 0242
AVA'S POV I didn’t sleep at all, all through the night. My eyes burned from crying, but the worst part wasn’t even the tears. It was the way my brain wouldn’t stop. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw her again – Emma. Sitting on that cold basement floor, her cheeks stained with dried tears, whispering that she wanted to come home. That image kept playing over and over in my head like a nightmare I couldn’t escape from. By the time the sun started to rise, I was still awake. Still sitting by the window. I wasn’t even sure how long I’d been there. Hours, maybe. Time didn’t feel real anymore. My whole body was tired, but there was no rest in me. No peace. Just pain and worry and fear pressing down on me so hard I could barely breathe. I didn’t know how much longer I could keep going like this… but I had no choice. I had to be strong. For Emma and Mason. They were counting on me. When Sally came into my room, I didn’t even say a word. I just stood up slowly and started getting dresse

AVA'S POVIt was getting dark. The flashing lights from the police cars were starting to fade as officers packed up. The air felt heavier than before. Like the weight of everything we’d gone through was finally pressing down on all of us. Officer Michael cleared his throat and looked around at everyone. His face was tired too. “We should call it a night,” he said quietly. “Let’s meet again tomorrow at Ava’s place. We’ll go over a proper plan then and know how to rescue the kids and at the same time arrest Julian." I couldn’t even bring myself to answer. I just nodded slowly. My arms stayed crossed tight over my chest like they were the only thing holding me together. The kids were still missing. And Julian… his voice still echoed in my head. That terrible voice, asking for two hundred million dollars like it was some regular favor. I wanted to scream. I wanted to run. But my body was too numb to do either. We all started heading toward our cars. My legs moved, but they didn’t fee

AVA'S POVAlex gently helped me stand up as the officers surrounded Jason’s body. I didn’t even realize my knees had gone weak. Everything felt heavy, my chest, my legs, my heart. I stood there frozen, watching them lift Jason carefully off the ground. One of them knelt beside him, checking his pulse, while another looked around and shouted, “Get something to support his head!”An officer ran to the corner of the garage and grabbed a folded tarp from a shelf. It was dusty but better than nothing. They carefully slid it under Jason’s head as they prepared to lift him. I stood there, useless. My arms hugged my chest tightly. I couldn’t stop crying, but the tears were silent now. Guilt clawed at me like a monster inside. This is my fault. All of this is my fault. If I had listened to Sally and told Alex about Julian when he first came back… or warned Jason… maybe the kids wouldn’t be gone. Maybe Jason wouldn’t be lying there with blood on his head. “I’m sorry,” I whispered, but no o

AVA’S POV The moment Jason left, I felt like I couldn’t breathe. The police kept moving around, talking to each other in low voices, but none of it mattered to me. I kept staring at the door, waiting for him to come back. Hoping, praying he returns with the kids. My hand was still shaking as I pulled out my phone and tried calling Alex again. Still no answer. I tried again and again. “Come on, pick up,” I whispered, my voice breaking. “Please, Alex, just pick up.” Nothing. Straight to voicemail. Alex was their uncle — he needed to know what was going on. I only called Jason because Alex wasn’t answering, and I had to tell someone. In that moment, Jason was the only person I could think of. I wiped my tears and turned to Officer Mike. “I need your phone. Please.” He looked confused. “Ava?” “I need to call Alex Grey. He is the kid’s uncle. My phone isn’t going through,” I said quickly. “Please, just let me try from yours.” He handed it over without a word. My fin

JASON’S POV I knew the police weren’t going to move fast enough. They’d waste time looking at files, chasing dead ends, following useless leads. I couldn’t let that happen. Not with the kids missing. Not with Julian involved. Every second counted. I looked at Ava, she was still crying, still holding on to my hand. Her face was pale, her eyes full of fear and pain. I wanted to stay with her. I wanted to sit there and hold her until we found them. But I couldn’t. I had to go. “I’ll be right back,” I told her softly. It was like she could read my mind and knew I couldn't sit back and wait for the police. She gripped my arm tightly. “Where are you going? Jason, don’t...please..." I leaned down and kissed her forehead. “Stay with the cops. I’ll call you if I hear anything.” “Jason, no..." I pulled away before she could stop me. Michael stepped in front of me, trying to block my path. “Don’t do anything reckless,” he said, his tone too firm and stern for my liking. Thi
Goodbye, Ex-Husband, Next Please CHAPTER 0237
JASON’S POV I was going through the last batch of contracts on my desk when my phone rang. Ava’s name flashed on the screen. A smile crept onto my face. I sat up straighter, ready to hear her voice – maybe she wanted to talk, maybe even apologize for this morning. I tapped the green button and held the phone to my ear. But what I heard wasn’t her voice. It was sobbing. Broken. Like her whole world had collapsed. “Ava?” My heart dropped. “Ava, what’s wrong?” More sobs and shaky breaths were what I heard before she started talking. “J-Jason… I—I can’t… I can’t find them…” “Find who?” My chest tightened. “Emma and Mason,” she choked out. “They’re gone. Jason… they were kidnapped.” I froze. For a second, I honestly thought I heard her wrong. “Wait...what?” Her crying grew louder. She could barely breathe, let alone speak. I shot up from my seat, already grabbing my jacket. “Where are you?” I asked quickly, my voice sharp. “Ava...tell me exactly where you are.” “Ice c
