Mr. Ceo Ex-lover Comes With Baby のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 191 - チャプター 200

The night wind cut through the skin like a thin blade, and the rushing sound of the river accompanied Joe’s staggering steps as he carried Eliana on his back. His sister’s body had grown limp, her legs were injured, and dried blood stained her wrists. Joe himself was barely able to stay on his feet. But one thing kept him going: Eliana had to survive.“We’re… we’re almost there, El,” Joe muttered, though he had no idea where they actually were.Eliana could only tighten her grip on her brother’s shoulders. Her eyes still couldn’t see, but she recognized the direction of the wind, the sound of water, and Joe’s faltering, unyielding footsteps. Every step felt like torture, but the warmth of her brother’s back gave her a sense of safety she hadn’t felt in years.Across the river, a woman was running, breathless. Her shoes were soaked, her hair disheveled, and her eyes darted wildly in panic. Olivia. When news of Joe and Eliana’s escape reached her, Olivia didn’t stay still. She searched

Clouds loomed heavily over the small house on the edge of town. The dark sky mirrored the heavy tension in the hearts of its occupants. In the quiet dining room, Joe leaned back in a wooden chair, eyes fixed on his phone that remained stubbornly silent."Is Eliana asleep?" Olivia asked softly as she set down two cups of warm tea on the table.Joe nodded. "Yeah. But she keeps having nightmares. Every night, she whispers Hunter’s name in her sleep."Olivia took a deep breath. “Joe, you have to stop thinking about going back to look for him. It’s too dangerous. Shopia might still have eyes on the outskirts.”Joe looked up, locking eyes with his mother. “And what do you want me to do? Sit here and pray Hunter suddenly shows up at our doorstep? We both know him. If we’re in danger, he wouldn’t stay away. Something’s wrong. He’s trapped.”Olivia clenched her fists. “I know you feel like you owe him. But if you get caught too, Eliana loses everything. We’ve just started to have a peaceful li

The atmosphere inside the old car they were riding in was thick with tension. Joe gripped the steering wheel tightly while Eliana sat beside him, holding a worn-out map that had been sent via an anonymous email—a map showing Hunter's possible location in an abandoned industrial area not far from the city.“This has to be a trap,” Joe muttered, his eyes fixed on the increasingly deserted road ahead.“But what if it’s not?” Eliana replied, her voice trembling. “What if Hunter really is there? He might be waiting for us.”Joe let out a long sigh. Doubt gnawed at him. But their options were running out. They hadn’t heard from Hunter in days. And the small marker on the map showed a street name Hunter had once mentioned in passing—a forgotten road once used as a storage route for smuggled goods.When they arrived at the industrial zone, the place looked like a ghost town. Massive warehouses stood in decay, shattered windows gaping like hollow eyes, and the wind peeled rusted tin from the r

The room was cold and dim. Only the ticking of the clock filled the silence. Shopia Joy sat in the interrogation chair, her hands cuffed, her eyes swollen but still burning with stubborn arrogance.Detective Molina stood across from her, stacking several files onto the metal table.“You’re charged with four major offenses, Shopia,” he said, voice flat but firm. “Kidnapping, attempted murder, identity and legal document forgery, and threats against a minor. We have full evidence. Recordings. Witnesses. Fingerprints.”Shopia gave a crooked smile. “So? You think that’s enough to imprison someone like me?”Molina remained unfazed. He slid a photo across the table—Eliana’s frightened face inside the warehouse. Then another—Hunter, bloodied and bruised.“Are they enough to make you think twice?” he asked sharply.For a moment, Shopia’s expression shifted. The smile faded, replaced by a distant look in her eyes… as if she had fallen into the past.---FLASHBACKA little girl with tangled bla

Morning air was crisp by the lakeside.A thin mist hovered over the water's surface, surrounded by green trees tinged with yellow as autumn crept in. Amidst the tranquil beauty of nature stood a small white house—gray-roofed, with large windows that opened directly to the lake.Hunter opened one of the windows and inhaled deeply. He was still wearing a light sweater and lounge pants, but the smile on his face was warmer than the morning sun. Behind him came the soft sound of footsteps and the comforting scent of fresh coffee.Olivia appeared, holding two mugs.“It still feels unreal that we’ve actually moved here,” she said, handing one to Hunter.Hunter took her hand and kissed the back of it. “This place feels… like home.”“More than home,” Olivia whispered. “It’s a place to begin again.”The house wasn’t big, but it was enough for the three of them—and one more, quietly growing in Olivia’s womb. The pregnancy was still their little secret. They weren’t ready to tell Eliana just yet
