Getting My Ex-wife Back

Santiago’s gaze was fixed on Raeleigh. He raised his hand to hold her face and pulled her into his arms. He bit his lip as he murmured, “Let’s all be reborn here in our next life.”

She raised her head to look at him and tried to push him away, but he trapped her in his embrace. She struggled for a while before she was able to escape.

“I’ll take you out to have fun.” He had taken her to a crowded place, and they had played for a whole day before going back. At night, she was so hungry she could barely walk. Santiago found a place nearby and they ate a bit there. After the meal, he took Raeleigh somewhere else. She couldn’t even tell how far they had gone, considering how sleepy she was after eating.

It was completely dark after dinner. Raeleigh asked Santiago if he wanted to go home although it was so late. He smiled and said, “I have plans with Jacky. If we don’t go back, then he’ll have to come back.”

She didn’t reply to that.

She followed Santiago without a word. She followed him wherever he went.

When they got into the car, she asked, “Are you okay?”

“Yeah.”

Santiago started up the car and left Waverly Village when Raeleigh suddenly noticed a problem. She hadn’t done anything in the past two days. All she did was eat, drink and have fun.

They didn’t drive fast on the way back, but there were barely any cars on the road. Raeleigh kept looking into the rearview mirror, and every time she saw that there were no cars behind them, she was a little worried. It was too strange.

Even though it was dark, there wasn’t a single car. Wasn’t it weird?

After observing for a while, she finally became impatient. She asked Santiago, “Why isn’t there a single car?”

“Are we not in a car?” He was amused. Raeleigh impatiently retorted, “You know I’m not kidding, so why are you like that?”

“Everything will be fine.” Just as he said that, several cars suddenly appeared in front of them. Raeleigh immediately thought it was strange. “Why are there so many cars?”

Santiago’s face darkened. “Weren’t you hoping to see some?”

“When did I say that?”

She looked around. “Didn’t Jacky send people to protect us? Why isn’t anyone here?”

“He had to go kidnap someone. Do you think he would leave anyone behind?” Santiago was deliberately scaring Raeleigh. Her heart sank. “Jacky went to kidnap someone?”

“He had already wanted to do it before the New Year, but in the end, his target was switched out with someone else and Rossie ended up being kidnapped instead. Now, he wants to go get revenge.”

“Then what are you doing in Waverly Village?”

Raeleigh was a little confused. Santiago smiled. “I won’t tell you.”

“Are you kidding me? You’re seriously doing that at a time like this?”

“Get down.” Santiago pushed her head down. He took a coat from the back and covered her with it, then he quickly sped through the cars that were trying to block them. The cars immediately turned around and came towards him. Raeleigh felt uncomfortable lying on her stomach and wanted to get up but Santiago told her not to move, so she could only lie on the ground motionless.© NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

She didn’t know how long they had been driving before they suddenly stopped. Raeleigh assumed everything was over with, so she struggled to get up, only to see that there were a dozen guns pointing at them from the outside.

She was shocked. She looked at Santiago beside her only to realize that one of his arms was covered with blood. He was applying pressure on the upper part of his shoulder.

“Santiago…”

“I’m fine.” Beads of sweat formed on his forehead. She was busy trying to take a look at his wound. Santiago said, “No matter what happens, don’t cry.”

Raeleigh was stunned for a moment. “Aren’t you in cahoots with Jacky? Your injury must be fake.”

Santiago rolled his eyes at her. “Are you trying to piss me off?”

“Are you hurt or not?”

She stared at his bleeding arm as she questioned him loudly. Santiago pursed his somewhat pale lips and did not reply.

Santiago turned around and looked at the people outside the car who were not going to leave any time soon. “Who are you?”

“Get out of the car.”

The gunman aimed the gun at his forehead, forcing him to get out.

Raeleigh got out of the car without waiting for Santiago.

Looking at the people in front of her, she asked, “Who sent you here?”

They couldn’t have been sent by Santiago. The only person she could think of was Jepherson.

However, some of them pointed their guns at Raeleigh. She was shocked and regretted getting out of the car. But if these people had bad intentions, they would have forced her out anyway.

Santiago tried his best to open the door with his uninjured hand and got out of the car.

He glanced at Raeleigh. “Come here.”

She walked towards him. The gunman who was threatening Santiago saw her doing so and immediately fired a shot in front of her. She trembled with fear. Santiago growled, “I’ll rip you to shreds.”

Raeleigh gritted her teeth and walked towards him. When the man saw the sinister look in Santiago’s eyes, he didn’t dare fire again.

She walked over to his side. He took a look at her and asked, “Are you scared?”

Raeleigh shook her head. “No.”

“Okay.”

“What’s going on?”

Raeleigh didn’t think these people were playing around. Santiago was injured. If they were Jepherson’s men, why would they attack him for real? They would be doomed once they returned.

On top of that, Jepherson was not involved in the underworld. How could there be so many people there? If it were Zorion or Jacky, it might be plausible, but how could they ever hurt Santiago?

“It might be a trap. There’s a traitor in Jacky’s nest who colluded with outsiders to get rid of me.”

Santiago only needed a glance to know if the people in front of him were his own or not. He would have known the moment he saw them. Plus, he was injured now.

Raeleigh pursed her lips. “How could this happen? What about our people?”

“If they wanted to set us up, of course they would have made preparations. You’re usually smart, so why are you so dumb at such a key moment?”

Raeleigh was speechless. Who exactly was dumb now?

He was already injured, yet he was still holding on.

“Don’t talk too much.” She was rather upset. She glanced at Santiago then looked at the people in front of her. “What do you want? Do you want to kill us, or do you want our money?”

She only had those two possibilities in mind as she stared at them. Santiago was injured, and she wanted to protect him.

He didn’t expect Raeleigh to say something like that. It showed how calm she was.

“We’re not looking for you, we’re looking for him.”

The gunman pointed at Santiago. He was about to pull the trigger and end Santiago’s life. Raeleigh moved in front of Santiago and shielded him. She grabbed the muzzle and raised it above her head. “Since you want to kill him, why don’t you kill me first? Let’s see if you can kill both of us with just one bullet.”

“Get out of the way!” Santiago yelled.

Raeleigh held the pistol tightly as if she didn’t hear him. She continued, “My fiance is Xanthus Osteen. The Osteen family has an incredibly strong foundation abroad, with thousands of contacts. He can crush you to pieces in under a minute.”

“Santiago is the second son of the Richards family, and his brother is Jepherson Richards. Jepherson isn’t a member of the underworld, but anyone evil is an enemy to him. He’s like a ghost who is determined to get his revenge.”

The others looked at the person whom Raeleigh was holding. It was obvious that he was the leader. Raeleigh felt that she had found the right person.
