Chapter 40

(Katlyn’s POV)

Elly Rose snatched the paper Hayden had written from my hands. She shot me a dark look before flicking the letter into the air to smooth it out, then read it.

“I’ll find a way to uncover who was behind what happened to you,” Elly read aloud, holding the letter with both hands, her eyes focused as if making sure she understood it correctly.

She folded the letter, slammed it onto the bed in anger, then grabbed my arm where my hand rested on my waist.

Sylina followed us into the room, shouting Josiah’s name to call him over.

Zax and Nairovi soon appeared as well.

“What’s going on here?” Josiah asked as he entered.

The others waited for an answer while Elly and I stared at each other.

Elly looked like she wanted to tear me apart with her glare.

“Did you order Hayden to look for the people who kidnapped you?” she asked sharply, her voice filled with hostility.

I could not answer. My chest felt unbearably heavy.

“You can’t answer, so YOU did tell him to do it?” she

  • Married to My Best friend's Billionaire Ex   Uncover the Truth

    Chapter 39{Katlyn’s POV}My ears burned at what I heard.“She can’t stay here anymore,” he said in an authoritative tone.I felt my temper rise again at what he said.“Are you okay?! How did you—”Zax suddenly pulled the curtain behind the sofa aside with such force that I stopped mid-sentence.Through the window, I saw Nairovi outside, hands on her hips, talking on the phone. She couldn’t see us.I calmed down when I saw her there.I took a deep breath and kicked Josiah’s foot.“You really can’t take a joke,” Zax said, laughing.“You’re no better. I’m not amused by any of you,” I said with a pout, slapping both hands against the pillow.Since we were all together, I tried to open up.“I want to leave this house already. I’m scared. I feel like we’re not safe,” I told everyone.“Aren’t you going to ask if I still want to stay here?” Elly said mockingly.I glared at her and said nothing“Honestly, even before we stepped inside, just seeing the house from the outside made me want to tur

    Chapter 38{Katlyn’s POV}I forcefully pulled Hayden’s hand away from my arm and looked him straight in the eye.“I didn’t start this!” I shouted at his face.I turned to Nairovi and saw her smiling, as if she were enjoying everything. My eyes widened in disbelief. Hayden stared at me, then slowly looked back to where Nairovi stood.“She’s lying! I was getting water when she suddenly grabbed my hair and slapped me!” Nairovi accused.I placed a hand on my waist and took a deep breath to keep myself from exploding at her lies.“Is that true, Katlyn?” Hayden asked, seeking confirmation.“Believe her if you want, Hayden. The two of you can go together,” I said coldly, right to his face.I turned my back and walked away, but Hayden caught my hand to stop me. He wrapped his arms around my waist from behind. I raised both hands in shock, my mouth falling open.“I’m just teasing you. I believe you,” he whispered into my ear while hugging me.I knew Nairovi could see everything.“What are you d

    Chapter 37{Katlyn’s POV}Even without looking directly at them, I could sense their different reactions through my peripheral vision.“What do you mean, Katlyn?” Hayden asked, clearly confused.Because we had an agreement that if I pulled him out, that meant it was him.“I don’t know. I’m just sure he wasn’t the one who kidnapped and shot me,” I explained restlessly.His brows furrowed, confusion deepening, so I clarified more carefully.“I panicked when I saw that man. His build was almost identical to the kidnappers, so I started trembling even though he wasn’t one of them. I imagined him standing in front of me, I couldn’t control it,” I admitted, my voice still wrapped in fear.I didn’t know why, but everything that had happened left me feeling uneasy and unsettled. I couldn’t calm myself.“Did you manage to get the CCTV footage?” Josiah asked, cutting in.Hayden and I looked at each other and both shook our heads. Everyone was disappointed, we never got the chance to request a c

    Chapter 36{Katlyn’s POV}“Alright, that’s fine. I’ll inform my coworker as well so that in case I’m not on duty, she’ll be the one to hand it over to you,” the woman explained clearly.Josiah looked at us, as if carefully analyzing whether the woman was telling the truth or not.“Okay, thank you,” Josiah said before ending the call.Nairovi sat down, and Elly followed.“The ones who kidnapped and shot me were the ones who found my phone,” I said seriously.I knew it was them.“How can you be so sure? Just because of the description?” Nairovi asked sarcastically.I didn’t know what she was trying to imply, but I didn’t care what she thought in a situation like this.Zax kept glancing at me. We discussed everything—what to do, what our next move should be. Nairovi and Elly disagreed with my claim. They said it didn’t seem likely, that maybe I was accusing the wrong people. In the end, they decided that I would be the one to retrieve the phone myself the next day.I had been gone for al

    Chapter 35{Katlyn’s POV}I squeezed my eyes shut and held my breath when the man said those words. I was on the verge of breaking down in fear, but I clamped my mouth shut with all my strength.They opened the trash cans one by one and rummaged through the garbage.“She’s not here!”The leader arrived moments later, clearly exhausted as well.“Check the garbage bags too!” one of them ordered, and the man began inspecting the trash one by one.“Close it! It reeks!” the leader snapped.I was next. I could barely breathe. I prayed I wouldn’t be found, even though hope was already slipping away.“That’s enough! The smell is unbearable,” the leader stopped them. “That woman is too rich and too delicate to hide in a trash can,” he added confidently.“Then where do you think she ran off to, boss?”“I don’t know, but she couldn’t have gone far. I thought she was already dead. Turns out the bitch is still alive,” he said with clear irritation, as if regretting not making sure I was truly dead
