Getting My Ex-wife Back

Without hesitation, Raeleigh glanced at the people around her with a sharp gaze.

“Everyone knows Jepherson’s biggest weakness is his younger brother, Santiago; he means the world to him. If you kill Santiago, Jepherson will chase you to the end of the world. Not even your family, wives, and children will be spared.”

Raeleigh stared at the person in front of her. He was amused. “If Jepherson really loves this brother, there’s no way he wouldn’t have sent anyone.”

“Even if you want to plot against him, you’ll fail miserably. Santiago is known for his arrogance; he will not tolerate being protected.”

Raeleigh continued, “Jepherson loves me, but he let Santiago have me because he knows he likes me too. His actions have already shown how important their brotherhood is.”

“Even if it is not… Jepherson will not allow you to harm his family; he will investigate and take down the murderer.”

“You’re saying if we kill Santiago, we’ll die too?”

“And do you think it’s worth it for all of you to die with him? You’re in it just for the money, I’m sure. We have money; isn’t it better to exchange it with us?” Raeleigh still held the attacker’s gun. He looked somewhat tempted but quickly smiled and said, “Since Jepherson isn’t easy to deal with, he will seek revenge for the smallest grievance. There’s no way he’d let us take his money and disappear.”

“That’s your business. I’ll give you two choices. One, take our money and leave; retire and live the life you want and want for nothing.”

“Everyone has a dream; I don’t believe your dream is to kill for other people.”

“Since it isn’t, wouldn’t you want to take the money and go back to your family?”

Everyone fell silent. Raeleigh continued, “The second choice is to kill Santiago and me. But Jepherson will kill you before you get the chance to leave this place.”

“Although he doesn’t have a gun, Zorion does. The Richards and Whalen families have always been close friends. Don’t you think your lives are hanging by a thread?”

“You sure have your way with words, woman. Too bad we don’t buy this. We have our rules; we take the money and do as we’re told. No questions asked.” Humored, she replied, “In that case, I’ll give you money; kill the people who hired you. I’ll give you as much as you want.”

“As much as I want?” The man smirked. “How much money do you have?”

“How much are you being paid to kill Santiago and me?” Raeleigh asked. The man raised his hand, and she looked over. “Five million?”

The attacker did not answer. Raeleigh laughed mockingly. Though it was just a smile, everyone around her was growing agitated.

“Don’t tell me that’s all they gave you.”

With that, everyone fell silent. Raeleigh said, “With one phone call, I’ll be able to transfer five million dollars into everyone’s account.”

“Three …”

“Don’t talk.”

Someone spoke up, but the man across him gritted his teeth and squinted. He gave in in the end.

He glanced at Santiago, who had remained silent the entire time. “Why aren’t you talking? Stalling?”

Santiago said amusedly. “I don’t have money; if anything, it’ll have to come from her.”

“Then I’ll kill you.”NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

“Go ahead.”

Santiago was unruffled.

Raeleigh said, “If you want the money, I want him alive.”

“I’m surprised; for such a young age, you know so much about love. Who…”

“I’m young, not an idiot. Having Santiago is like getting half of the Richards family. Compared to the little money I give you, Santiago is a treasure cave.”

Raeleigh said with confidence as if it was true. Staring at her cold gaze, the surrounding people grew fearful.

They believed it.

The attacker thought for a moment and asked, “How long until our plane arrives?”

“Another three more hours.”

“Do you have enough time?” He asked Raeleigh. Raeleigh looked at all of them, “Although the number is a little big, the bank procedure is very simple. It’s just that the amount is quite a lot. I need to make an appointment an hour in advance.”

“You dare fool us?” He pressed the gun against Raeleigh’s head, leading her to stare at him. “If I do, you can kill me. You won’t be able to leave so easily, even after getting the money. I’m giving you a choice here; I just want some medicine to save Santiago. I’m sure you can see he has severe bleeding; I’m afraid he will die.”

“You’re just a woman; why do you do so much for him?”

“How would you understand? You’re not me.” Raeleigh said indifferently, and one of the men smiled sinisterly, “Boss, I want to have a try.”

Santiago had remained unruffled until he heard what the man said, and his face darkened in an instant, glaring daggers at him.

The man froze for a moment, but he still wanted to get close to Raeleigh.

Raeleigh was not like Santiago. Even though he was injured, he could still kill. Seeing that he wanted to make a move, she grabbed his hand and glanced at him, signaling him not to move.

“Try if you want, but do you want money or woman?” Raeleigh asked. However, the attacker didn’t reply but pointed his gun at Raeleigh and said, “We want money.”

“You can have all the women you want with the money. Besides, we have something important to do; we don’t have the time to waste with you.” With that, the attacker looked over coldly at the man who was looking lustfully at Raeleigh.

Raeleigh said, “So? I make a call; you take the money, and off you fly.”

“Okay, make the call.”

The man took the gun away and fired it at an empty spot.

Raeleigh looked at Santiago and took out her phone to call Jepherson. It didn’t take him long to answer.

She said as soon as the call connected, “I’m Raeleigh, Raeleigh Osteen, I want…”

Raeleigh pointed as she counted the number of people and made a definite number. “I want sixty million dollars in twelve shares, each transferred to an account. Complete it in the shortest time, and…”

Raeleigh looked around. “Don’t tell anyone about this, including my parents. You must transfer the money to each bank account within an hour. Otherwise, I will reconsider where I save my money.”

Jepherson took a deep breath and got into the car.

“The bank will need the account number.”

“I will text you.”

“I’ll prepare it right away.”

“Okay.”

Raeleigh hung up and looked at the man in front of her. “He is getting it ready now; I need your account numbers.”

With that, the attacker gave her an account number, and Raeleigh typed the numbers into her phone.

But that was all he gave, not another, and said, “Give me five million dollars first. I want to know if you really have the money.”

Raeleigh looked at him. “I’ll give you five million more.”

With that, she called Jepherson again and told him to transfer the attacker ten million dollars.
