Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire

"Please, help me..."

The sheer desperation in her voice cut straight to Selena's heart. She knew exactly how Alexa felt. Family meant everything to Selena, and she couldn't blame anyone for wanting to hold onto the last bit of theirs. Plus, she had this gut feeling that Alexa was telling the truth.

Taking a deep breath, Selena asked, "Where are you right now?"

In a whisper, Alexa replied, "I'm at the hospital. I managed to slip into the restroom when the bodyguards weren't watching. I borrowed someone's phone; they're already looking for me, and the OR is set. I can't hold out much longer."

"Alright, stay put. I'll send someone to get you. You can crash at my place in Newport, okay?"

Alexa let out a sigh of relief. "Thank you."

Once she hung up, Selena called Holt into the room.

"Miss, what do you need?" Holt asked as he stepped in.

"You've worked with Blaine before, right? The bodyguards should listen to you?" Selena inquired.

Holt looked a bit confused. "They do, but why?"

Selena quickly laid out the plan. "I'll ring Blaine to keep him occupied. I need you

to pass off some orders from him. Get the bodyguards you trust to escort Alexa to the airport and book a private jet to bring her to Newport."

Holt was taken aback. "This is..."

"Just do it. I'll deal with Blaine. If this kid might be his, I'm helping him, too," Selena said confidently.

Holt took a moment, then nodded firmly. "Alright, I'm on it."

Ms. Selena has such a kind heart. And the madam, she's a gentle soul too. Maybe one day, someone like the boss, who's always been in the shadows, could find his way back to the light with their help.

Holt clenched his fist, ready to go all in.

At nine that evening, a car rolled into Moon Bay. The door opened, and Alexa, dressed in a simple white dress, stepped out. Selena

approached her, taking in her slightly fuller figure since France, likely due

to the pregnancy. She was still painfully thin compared to most expectant mothers.

Her face held no hope for the future, just the faint relief of escaping danger. The sight tugged at Selena's heart.

Stepping forward, she embraced Alexa warmly. "Make this your home now. Don't worry anymore."

Alexa felt a lump in her throat. "Thank you."

She hadn't dared to dream that Selena would help her, considering Selena was part of the Irwin family too.

Mateo and Haley came running out, hand in hand. Mateo, the little gentleman, greeted Alexa politely. Haley, with her innocent curiosity, eyed Alexa's slightly rounded belly.

"Auntie, Ava said there's a baby in there. Am I going to be a big sister?" Haley asked, wide-eyed.noveldrama

Alexa's gaze softened as she looked at Haley's rosy cheeks. It was asdf her heart's wounds were suddenly soothed. She nodded with a smile, then hesitated and shook her head, leaving Haley a bit puzzled

Selena watched, feeling she'd made the right call bringing Alexa here. But then

her phone rang, and Blaine's name flashed on the screen.

Alexa's head snapped towards the sound, her eyes widening in panic, the brief moment of calm shattered.
