Chapter 171

Anita arrived at Ethan’s office one hour later. When she pushed open his office door, the sight she was met with sent tears to her eyes.Ethan was sprawled out on the little couch in his office, his hair ruffled, his face wet with tears, and his expression like he had just lost a loved one.Anita’s heart broke more than it did when she heard his voice over the phone.“Oh, Ethan.” She sighed and sprinted towards him. She went to where he was and sat on the floor, holding his head in her hand.“Hey… I’m here now, okay.” She said, wiping her tears as she didn’t want him to see her cry.After a while, she finally decided to bring up what they spoke about on the phone. “What did you tell her?” She asked.Ethan remained silent, only the sound of his sniffles leaving him could be heard.“When she told you about the pregnancy, what was your response?” She asked, more clearly this time.Ethan raised his head and she was met with his bloodshot eyes. The sight broke her further. He stared at her

Chapter 172

Ethan checked his wristwatch as he bolted out of the office building. It was already almost midnight. Thankfully, the streets were still very much alive but without traffic. He ignited the car engine and zoomed off, his hands shaking with nervousness as he went over what he was going to tell Brielle over and over again.“You got this, Ethan.” He told himself, remembering Anita’s words.Thirty minutes later, he arrived at the house and it was a few minutes past midnight. He sat in his car for a minute, prepping himself for the final time.“I…I—” he tried rehearsing the words but failed to get them out. He then decided to just go with the flow line Anita said. She was sure he would get the hang of it once he was in front of Brielle.He finally got out of the car and entered the house. He was met with an eerie silence with not even a cricket helping to break it. He walked up the stairs and stopped in front of Brielle’s door. After taking a deep breath, he knocked once.There was no respo

Chapter 173

Brielle’s eyelids fluttered open, her eyes adjusting to the harsh light. A groan left her lips as she felt a sharp headache slice through her head. After many tries, her eyes finally opened and she was met with an unfamiliar environment.“Where am I?” She thought, looking around the old ugly room. The paint was already worn out, the ceilings begging for attention and the harsh sunlight coming from the window directly in front of her.This wasn’t her house.Brielle sat up immediately, panicking spreading through her chest. She racked her brain, wondering how she got here.After a short while, her memories came flooding in.****ELEVEN HOURS AGO!“Where are you going to, Brielle? It’s late. Why don’t you wait until tomorrow morning?” Rosa asked worriedly, hurrying behind her as she dragged her suitcase out of the house.“No, Rosa,” Brielle said firmly, her eyes filled with hate and determination. “I’m not spending the night here. Ethan might be back by morning. I’m not going to see his

“No…” Brielle whispered, looking around the strange room. “God, please. This can’t be.” She panicked, her face twisted with worry, fear, and frustration.“My phone…” She touched her trousers, hoping to find it there but, she found nothing. Then, she turned around to search the room but, not even her boxes were in the room.She had seen scenes like this in movies. She was definitely kidnapped.Thankful that her feet and hands were untied, she got off the bed quickly and went to the window, hoping she could get some help if she screamed from there. Or, considering the size of the window, she could escape through it.However, when she looked out of the window, her heart sank and her shoulders fell in disappointment. The house she was in seemed to be almost twelve stories high. The distance between the window and the floor was so high, she would die on the spot if she tried jumping.“No wonder it's so bright in here.” She said sadly.That left her with one last option—to scream for help.

Chapter 175

“No! She’s not going anywhere!” An overly familiar voice said from behind Scott. The voice was one Brielle couldn’t miss. She knew very well who it belonged to. Still, it made no sense.She shouldn’t be here!Confirming her suspicion, Jessica revealed herself with a proud smirk.Brielle blinked. ‘What is happening? What is she doing here? How did she get out of jail?!” Different thoughts went through her mind.“Happy to see me?” Jessica asked in a taunting tone. She then turned to Scott and leaned in, kissing his lips.“With a capable man like Scott, anything is possible.” She praised, arranging his shirt as she curled her lips seductively. Proud of his achievement and happy with her reaction, Scott grinned widely.Brielle shook her head in disbelief, scoffing loudly. “You know that escaping from jail and helping a criminal escape from jail are serious offenses, right?”Jessica rolled her eyes while Scott snorted. “I would have gotten released either way. He just…sped up the process.”

Chapter 176

Ethan had not slept a wink since leaving the office. His heart was filled with panic and regret. He still had no idea where Brielle was, and after so many calls, her phone had been switched off.He had visited the Rayne mansion at 3 a.m., an hour after visiting Brielle’s house, and to his disappointment, she wasn’t there. The news of her disappearance reached the entire family in minutes, forcing them out of their sleep and putting them in panic mode.It was now 7 am and a few of the Rayne family members and Ella were in the living room, all worried and unsettled. Ethan stood at the window, his phone in hand. He had just answered a call from Officer Joe.“I was just about to call you. We filed a missing person report two hours ago but they said it hasn’t been up to a day so, they can’t do anything.” He rapped as soon as the call connected.Officer Joe inhaled sharply, his mind racing as he tried to connect the dots. “I’m sorry about that Mr Rayne but, I called to inform you that Miss

“But, I have one condition,” Scott said, tapping his forefinger against his lips.Brielle sighed. She should have known. Someone like him wouldn’t want to help her without getting something in return. Not after he had wasted his time and effort on getting her kidnapped.“What do you want?” she asked. “Money? How much?”Scott smiled.“Enough to make Jessica comfortable.” He replied. “She loves money. That’s why she’s trying to be with Ethan. If I can get even a quarter of what Ethan had, she’d return to me.” He answered, nodding in a bid to convince not just Brielle but himself.Brielle stared at him deeply. She could see that he truly loved Jessica. What bothered her was why he was willing to let his love for her make him do bad things.“Here’s the thing.” She started with a heavy sigh. “I can’t give you Ethan’s money. I’m not his wife anymore so, I don’t have access to it. However, I can get you a job at one of his companies that will help you in the future. Let's say you end up stea

Chapter 178

“What’s the update?” Ethan asked, speaking into his phone. He was on a call with Officer Joe who had been silent for the last eight hours. Ethan was starting to get really worked up and impatient.The only thing stopping him from going out and searching the entire city was his mother who was whining about how she wouldn’t be able to live if anything happened to him as well.“We were able to track her phone…” Ethan’s heart leaped, his expression lighting as he hoped for some good news.“But…we haven’t been able to find her yet.” His shoulders fell in disappointment yet again.“Whoever kidnapped her was smart enough to know that her phone could be tracked. To mislead us, they left her phone switched on and abandoned it in a secluded street. The phone switched off on its own after so many calls and texts. I am guessing the battery was already low.” He explained in a much calmer tone than Ethan expected, especially since Brielle had not been found yet.“So, we’re back to square one then?”

Chapter 179

Scott’s car came to a halt in front of the old, abandoned building where Brielle was being held. He got out of the car and looked around, making sure no one had followed him. Once he was sure he exhaled, relieved. Then, he went into the building. As soon as he entered, he walked to Jessica’s room and as expected, she wasn’t in. Knowing exactly where she was, he hurried out, hoping she hadn’t caused too much trouble. As he neared the room, he could hear Jessica yelling at the top of her voice. Shaking his head, he opened the door. “Do you have a death wish? Come here and give Ethan a call right now?” She commanded, her eyes boiling with rage. She held out a burner phone with Ethan’s phone number already typed on it. This made Scott wonder how much she knew about Ethan because it was more than obvious that Brielle didn’t type the numbers in herself. Speaking of Brielle, she was seated comfortably at the edge of the bed with her eyes shut. But, as the doors opened, her eyes follow

Chapter 180

Ethan’s jaw clenched and his fingers tightened around the steering wheel, his knuckles almost turning white from the force. He was as scared as he was angry but one thing he wasn’t going to do was show any sign of weakness. People like Scott thrived on the weakness of others.He held the phone close to his ears, his left hand almost crushing the metal.“If you harm a hair on her head, I promise you, you won’t live to see another day.” He threatened, his throat tightening at the sight of Brielle in pain. He could sense her fear from where he sat and it pained him that she had to go through that because of him.A loud laugh of mockery pierced through the phone. Even though he couldn’t see Scott’s face, he could see him throwing his head back as he laughed.“You’re one gutsy man, I must say.” He said in between laughter. “How dare you threaten me? Do you not care about your ex-wife? Or, have you moved on already?” Ethan saw Brielle’s eyes widen slightly with fear as he made that statemen
