A Divorce He Regrets

Chapter 240:

A black van swerved around the corner, speeding toward me.

Before I could react, the doors crashed open and masked men sprang out.

I gasped, stumbling backward, but it was no use.

Rough hands seized me. I struggled, kicked, tried to scream, but someone clamped a hand over my mouth. A sharp, pungent smell filled my nostrils as a cloth was shoved over my face.

No—no, no, no—

Darkness closed in fast, swallowing me whole.noveldrama

The last thing I heard before I lost consciousness was a low, cold voice. “Boss, we have her.”

RAINA

Leaving Alex and Dominic to sort it out themselves had been a big mistake. I knew that right then, as I sat back and did nothing. Alex had told me to just stay with the kids—that he and Dominic would team up and fix this. I actually believed him then.

But now? It was worse than ever.

And Eliza was still out there—pardoned when she should have been rotting in a prison cell. If that wasn’t enough, Faith wanted out of her marriage. Not because of anything between her and Dominic, but because my stupid brother had decided to think with his knees instead of his brain.

I looked at my children, my heart heavy. Ava was lying on the couch, watching cartoons, and Liam was putting up his toy blocks with the kind of focus only a toddler could have. They had no idea what was going on.

How was I supposed to leave them?

How was I supposed to sit back and do nothing while my family fell apart?

Alex had promised me. He had looked me in the eye and said he would take care of it. That I didn’t need to worry. That he had it covered. But he hadn’t explained a single thing. No updates, no reassurances.

Just silence.

And part of me was angry with him for that.

I took a deep breath, bracing myself before I called the kids over. Ava’s eyes flashed with interest, but Liam just lurched closer, his chubby little hands wrapping around my fingers. My heart squeezed. They were too young to be told, but there was no way around it.

“I have to go back,” I informed them, trying to sound calm. “There’s sort of an issue.”

Ava’s face contorted. “What sort of issue?”

“The kind I need to help fix.” I brushed a strand of hair behind her ear.

“But I won’t be gone long.”

That was a lie. I didn’t know how long I would be gone.

Grandma, who had been sitting across the room, watching, finally spoke up. “You think that’s a good idea, Raina?” She pinned me with a sharp look. “Maybe you should just wait and let Alex or Dominic take care of it.”

I let out a small sigh. “I can’t, Grandma. I’ve been out of the office too long already.”

“That office will survive without you,” she said. “Your children need you here.”

I knew that. God, I knew that. But if I didn’t go now, everything would just keep getting worse.

“I’ll be back before you know it,” I promised, stooping to kiss Liam’s forehead. He grinned up at me, unaware of the storm clouds gathering. Ava, however, wasn’t so easily placated.

“You always say that,” she muttered.
