Semua Bab My billionaire ex-husband wants me back: Bab 61 - Bab 67

BRANDON~•~I’d failed Gianna and I hated myself badly for it.Flashing blue and red lights lit up the street. Officers moved in and out of my house, their radios cracking with updates I couldn’t make sense of. My chest burned like I’d swallowed fire but my palms were as cold as ice.One minute, Isabella was out playing with Charlotte and Oliver. The next minute, she was gone. Oliver had followed me into the kitchen to get some juice for all of them while Charlotte said she and Isabella had been playing hide and seek, so she didn’t know where she went. It was crazy. They were in my backyard. How could anyone get to them there?I paced the room, running my hand through my hair for the umpteenth time. The house was too quiet even with all the movement around. Oliver was upstairs with Charlotte, so I couldn’t even leave to find their sister myself. They were distraught when we couldn’t find their sister and I had to lie to them that Isabella would be back soon before they agreed to go up

BRANDON~•~I was driving through the city like a madman, checking alleyways, parks, anywhere a child could hide or be hidden.The police were still searching as well but it was still fruitless. I was so restless to the point that I had to contact the media to put Isabella’s picture out there in case anyone had seen her. I’d always kept them out of the media, but now, I didn’t care who saw her face, as long as it helped me find her.My phone rang and I answered it without checking, hoping for good news from anyone; the police, Ethan, anyone. “Hello?”“Brandon, it’s me.” I didn’t have many interactions with Emily but I could recognize her voice. Also, Gianna had gone with her on her little trip. “We– oh my God, we were in a crash.”I slammed the brakes so hard that I almost crashed into a parked car myself.“What?” My voice rose. “What do you mean by a crash? Where’s Gianna?”“We’re in the ambulance right now. She’s unconscious, Brandon.”The words hit me like a punch to the ribs. Isab

GIANNA~•~The next time I woke up, the room was brighter and the soft murmur of voices made me realize I wasn’t alone.I blinked slowly and my eyes landed on Brandon who was still sitting in the same chair as though he had never left. “Mommy!” I heard an all too familiar voice.My heart clenched at the sound of Isabella’s voice as she climbed up the bed carefully and wrapped her arms around me gently. Her curls tickled my cheek and I held her with my good hand. “You’re finally awake, mommy.” She sounded relieved hugging me even tighter.I held her as tight as I could, tears filling my eyes. She was the person I was thinking about before I crashed and she was the first person I thought about when I woke up. I was so happy to know that she was safe. I didn’t know the details of the case yet since I only woke up for a short time the first time but I didn’t want to ask her questions and remind her of her awful experience. Oliver joined in on the other side, his arms more careful as he

GIANNA~•~I was thankful my left hand was fractured. My right hand, the dominant one, was what I needed today.I kept it inside the pocket of my jacket as I stared at the door, waiting for it to be opened. From our history, I never thought a day would come when I would visit Bailey but enough was enough. She had gone way too far.Getting impatient, I rang the doorbell again just as it opened. “Who the hell–“ Bailey’s words halted when she saw that it was me. Her eyes scanned the area, expecting someone else. When her gaze landed back on me, her brows furrowed. She gave a short, dry laugh. “Well, I guess pigs might end up flying after all.”Not bothering to respond to her, I pushed past her and entered her house, looking around.She followed behind me after closing the door. “What are you doing here? I thought your little family was on vacation? You even carried Charlotte along. Do you think you’re her mother or something?”I was supposed to be resting with them at the vacation house
