Getting My Ex-wife Back

“You can’t take Rossie away.” Logan looked upset. His men quickly circled them.

Zorion didn’t even flinch. He said indifferently, “If you don’t want Jacky to die out there, you’d better step aside.”

Logan was taken aback. He twitched a little before looking at his feet. He didn’t want to let Zorion take Rossie away, but he had to give in for Jacky’s sake.

He looked up and glanced at Rossie. “I’ll send you off and come back when I’m sure that you’re safe.”

Stepping aside, Logan looked at his men. “Get in the car.”

Dozens of men got into their cars and revved the engines.

Rossie looked at Logan. “Why bother?”

“I’ve told you this before. I want to marry you!”

After that, he turned and got into a car. He watched Zorion and Rossie, a smile forming on his lips as he took a trip down memory lane.

Rossie recalled how he’d accompanied her as she stumbled through Waverly Village. He knew that she had an ulterior motive, but he’d still stayed by her side.

“Let me go. I want to stay.” Rossie wanted to break free of Zorion’s embrace, but he just looked at her.

Without saying a word, he strode towards his car and got in. The driver started the car and got ready to leave.

He’d kept Rossie in his arms the whole time, and he didn’t plan on letting her go, no matter what happened.

The driver glanced at the cars trailing them and sucked in a breath.

Who exactly was Jacky? Why were there so many people in a small place like this, and why were they on their guard even during the holidays?

How could a lackey be able to mobilise so many people? Wasn’t Jacky afraid of a mutiny?

The driver drove leisurely from Waverly Village to Capital City. The number of cars caught the attention of the security bureau. The head of the bureau had initially planned on stopping them for questioning, but turned back when he heard that it was the Whalen family’s escort.

Zorion’s car headed right into the Whalen family manor. Logan got out of the car and stood at the entrance. Jacky called him on the phone, saying, “She’ll be fine. I’ll bring her back in a few days’ time so you guys can meet.”

Logan was in a bad mood. However, he’d known right from the beginning that falling in love with such a woman wouldn’t be smooth sailing for him.

“Got it.”

After hanging up, Logan left. Jacky glanced at Zorion, who still had Rossie in his arms, and said, “If you don’t give me that 100 million, I have plenty of ways to take her away. If that happens, one hundred million won’t be enough to solve the problem.”

Zorion stopped and turned to look at Jacky. “Do you think I’m afraid of you?”

Jacky smirked. “You shouldn’t be, but you should know that there’s nothing that I can’t do. I’ve already given you a discount because we got the wrong person. If not for that, it’d be 200 million. I won’t say no to some extra money, though.”

“We should keep things professional. If you pay up, you can have her. If not, I have my ways of taking her away.”

“You might have been able to leave Waverly Village the first time, but there’s no guaranteeing it the next time.”

Jacky didn’t say all this behind Rossie’s back, so she asked, “You abducted me for money?”

With his apron on, he smiled and answered, “Of course. Why else would I do it?”

“But I don’t have any money.”

“I wasn’t planning on abducting you, so it doesn’t matter. All of this is just a coincidence, but I have to tell you that not many people know about this. Why were you the one that was abducted?”

“My men have informed me that our actual target’s already gotten home safe and sound. Something must have happened for you to have been swapped with our target.”

Zorion looked down at Rossie, who was deep in thought, then looked back at Jacky. “Go on.”

“200 million.”

Zorion frowned at Jacky’s sudden price hike. “I can get rid of you right now, you know.”

“I’m your nephew’s father. You can kill me if you’re not worried about hurting your sister, and also…”

Seeing the ugly look on Zorion’s face, Jacky hesitated. “Since they have their eye on her, it means that she’s in danger. Without my intel, do you think you’ll be able to find out immediately who’s behind this?”

Zorion gave it some thought. “I don’t have 200 million. The Whalen family’s fortune isn’t up to me to squander yet.”

“I’ll put it on your tab for now, as long as you agree to it.”Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.

“Go ahead.”

Zorion didn’t plan on paying up, so the amount didn’t matter to him.

Jacky wasn’t a fool. Since he dared to allow Zorion to make this empty promise, he had ways to get him to pay up as well.

“I’ll get someone to send the information to you later.”

Jacky dusted his hands off and put the last pastry down before heading towards the kitchen.

Zorion turned around and took Rossie upstairs.

He put her down on the bed and turned to get her some clothes that he’d had prepared in advance. They had been specially designed for her.

“It’s cold outside. Do you want to take a bath?” he asked, looking at her. She shook her head.

She took the clothes and changed into them in the bathroom. When she came out, she looked at Zorion. “I want to leave. Please book me a flight.”

“Not now. It’s too dangerous out there, there’s no way I’ll let you leave. Once you’re out of danger, I’ll send you away.”

Zorion headed into the bathroom for a hot bath.

Rossie looked in the direction of the bathroom, her heart in complete chaos. However, she was sure that she didn’t want to stay in this room, where every single thing would bring up countless memories.

She headed downstairs. It was just about time for their meal. Santiago had just washed his hands, and he strode over to Rossie.

“What an honour it is, spending New Year’s Eve with you, Miss Lautner.” Santiago reached out a hand, not to shake hers, but to kiss it.

Rossie looked at him, bowing like a proper gentleman, and said, “I’m not used to that, sorry.”

“That’s fine, you just need some practice. Here…”

“Do you want me to throw you out?” Zorion asked as he walked down the stairs, rubbing his hair with a towel.

He stopped next to Rossie.

“Oh, I’m terrified!” Santiago turned and walked towards the dining table. Jacky walked out of the kitchen with a tray of food.

He put it down on the table before heading back into the kitchen. Zorion glanced at Rossie. “Let’s go.”

Zorion walked ahead of her. Rossie realised that men weren’t as serious and proper as they looked, and it was especially so in Santiago’s case. She had a really bad impression of him.
