Getting My Ex-wife Back

Just when Raeleigh was scrambling for a solution, several people walked towards her. Raeleigh leaned against the wall, worrying if they were coming after her.

They were gradually closing in on her. Meanwhile, she discovered that these people were preventing others from getting close to her.

Feeling uneasy, she took out her phone. If something was about to happen, then she had to inform Jacky in an instant. Otherwise, it would be too late if it did.

She was ready to dial the number when she received a call.

The phone vibrated. Raeleigh lifted her hand to take a look. It was Jacky. She answered immediately.

“Stay under the radar. Leave it to us and retreat right now. We’ll handle what’s going to happen next.”

“I won’t leave until I see Santiago.”

She couldn’t bring herself to leave like this. What if they couldn’t save Santiago?

When a person fret so much over another person, their intelligence would diminish over and over again. Raeleigh was a typical example.

Staring at the people in front of her, she put down her phone. Soon, they walked past her and whizzed to the door of the basement.

In no time at all, they had incapacitated the guards at the door, who were at the corner. Although there were guards, there were only a few souls around. Additionally, most of the people were letting it all hang out on the dance floor, making it a sequestered spot.

Nonetheless, Raeleigh felt that there was something amiss. Since Terek had been hiding Santiago inside, it must be guarded strictly. How could he let others know so easily?

Raeleigh drunkenly walked along the wall, tottering. After that, she found a seat and asked the bartender for a drink.

The bartender sized her up and gave her a glass of scotch. She swirled the glass while gazing at the image reflected in it. At the present moment, although her back was to the door of the basement, Raeleigh could see clearly what was going on.

The people at the door did go in, but when they went in, there was another group of people waiting inside, leading up to a fight breaking out.

Raeleigh turned her head to look at the bartender, resting her chin on her hands. “Aw, shucks. I was trying to go to the washroom. How did I end up here?”

The bartender was amused. He licked the tip of his tongue. “The washroom is over there.”

The bartender’s eyes were fixed on Raeleigh’s cleavage. Raeleigh almost fell down when she tried to rise to her feet, and she wanted to make her way to the washroom. The bartender came out instantly and bent over to support her. “I’ll take you there. With you like this, I doubt you can make it.”

Raeleigh shook her head and followed the bartender to the washroom. While walking, they were stopped by someone.

“I’ll take it from here.” Raeleigh was stunned for a moment. It was the bouncer.

“You can shove it.” The bartender was less than thrilled.

“This chick is one of Terek’s.” As he spoke, the bouncer pulled Raeleigh over. Hearing Terek’s name, the bartender reluctantly let go of her.

At that moment, Raeleigh was leaning against the bouncer in a daze. The bouncer took the chance to hug her in his arms while saying to the bartender, “I will send her back. You, get back to work.”

With Raeleigh in his arms, he brought her upstairs. Raeleigh had touched the glass of scotch. Even though she did not drink it, she was then emitting the smell of liquor.

Along the way, he said, “You can’t hold your booze, yet you were still drinking. The lower ground was full of bad guys. Why did you come down?”

“Washroom, I was looking for the washroom. He said he would tell me where it is if I chug the glass of whiskey.”

Raeleigh pretended to answer while in a daze, as though she was drunk.

He was at a loss for words. “There is a washroom in Terek’s room.”

“I didn’t find it.”

Again, he was lost for words. He took Raeleigh back downstairs, opened a door, pushed Raeleigh in, and pointed at the washroom. “Just there.”

Raeleigh glanced at it. “Okay.”

Turning around, Raeleigh fell to the ground. The bouncer was heartbroken at the sight of this. He got in right away to help Raeleigh get up.

Raeleigh sat down and looked at him, tears glistening at the corner of her eyes.

“I don’t want to stay here. I want to go home.”

He wanted to help her, but he had no solution.

“If you go back, then what about your family? Listen to me, you’d better stay here. Nothing bad will happen. You’ll have to get laid sooner or later, so you might do it now as well. You will know what it’s all about after you’ve tried it. Maybe you’ll find it right up your alley.”

He said a lot of words and buddied up to Raeleigh. She sat momentarily before she went to the washroom to send a text message. When she came out, the bouncer had not left yet. He stood in the room waiting for her.

Raeleigh assumed a calm face when she came out. Then, she said, “There are surveillance cameras all over the place. Aren’t you afraid that Terek will find out we are together?”

He smiled. “I will deal with it. Don’t worry.”

Raeleigh looked around. “How do you deal with it? You know how to operate those cameras?”

He checked the time. “I’ll take you there.”

Turning around, he went outside. From the looks of it, Raeleigh believed that this man would be very useful to her.

He walked past a room upstairs and went to the door of another room. There stood two guards. He waved his hand at them, opened the door, and went in. Raeleigh followed him.

There were two men inside the room. When they saw the bouncer, they even greeted him. “You won’t be needed here. Take five, my man.”

The two men darted a glance at Raeleigh before they turned around and went out of the room. As the door was closed, the bouncer pulled out a chair for Raeleigh. She sat down and focused on the monitor, watching how he deleted and froze some frames of the footage. After watching for a while, she asked, “Where is Terek?”

He glanced at her. “You wanna know?”

Raeleigh nodded. Afterwards, he leaned over in front of her. “Gimme a kiss, and I will show it to you.”

In a pickle, Raeleigh considered briefly. “Close your eyes then.”

He closed his eyes. Raeleigh went near him and faked heavy breathing on purpose. He took a deep breath, ready to be kissed. She raised her hand and poked his face. Following that, she moved her head away from him, but she had placed her hand behind her back first.

He opened his eyes slowly and stared at her, intending to kiss her. Raeleigh avoided him instantly.

He did not get angry. Instead, he just looked at her. “Do you have a boyfriend?”

Raeleigh nodded and replied, “I want to focus on my studies.”

His eyes were fixed on her briefly before he turned around and displayed some footage on the monitor. Raeleigh stood rooted to the spot when she saw Santiago.

At present, there was a scene with Santiago on the monitor. His hands were cuffed, and he had been beaten till his body was badly injured. There was a man sitting aside while gazing at Santiago. Santiago’s head was drooped and his eyes were closed, as if he was dead.

In astonishment, Raeleigh looked at the bouncer, who then said, “The loser being tied up is the man caught by Terek. Don’t worry. He can’t get out. His bones have been snapped.”Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Raeleigh was still looking at him. “What about that man?”

“That is Terek.”

As he spoke, his eyes landed on Raeleigh, who was upset and blanched at how Santiago had been treated.

“Well, he may be a lil’ old for you, but he is no pervert,” said the bouncer. Raeleigh gazed at him. “I want to go home.”

The bouncer felt sorry for her. “Remember, don’t resist. Grab life by the balls and it’ll be over faster than you can say Daddy Terry.”

Raeleigh shook her head while he pulled her up. “Come on, I’ll send you back to his room.”

Even though Raeleigh faked unwillingness, she still went upstairs. Subsequently, she sat in the room, pretending to be staring into space.
