Getting My Ex-wife Back

From his house, Zorion headed straight for Waverly Village. Jacky’s men blocked his way as soon as he was at the village’s entrance. The villagers were busy decorating the village, and it looked like a celebration was about to happen.

However, there was something wrong with the atmosphere.

Everyone wore a woebegone expression, sighing while hanging the banners.

“Tell Jacky to come out.” Zorion stood at the entrance of the village with a cold countenance.

There were more than a dozen vehicles behind him. Even though he was resourceful, Waverly Village was not in the coverage of his influences. For a place like here, even an army could not simply enter, let alone Zorion.

Nevertheless, Zorion couldn’t care less as he was enraged.

The men who stopped Zorion knew him as Jacky had informed them beforehand. They knew he was no pushover.

“Mr. Jacky is setting up the bridal chamber. He isn’t free to come out for the reception. Mr. Whalen, please go back. We’ve no time to entertain any guests as we’re holding a wedding in the village.”

“Tell him to come out, or you will know the consequences.”

As Zorion spoke, the people behind him had already taken out their guns and aimed at Jacky’s men who were blocking them. Dozens of guns were pointed at the leader’s head. Even if they were toy guns, it was very intimidating.

“Inform Mr. Jacky that an honored guest has arrived.”

Sensing a commotion, the other villagers all went home and hid. Meanwhile, Zorion went back into his car.

Santiago came out from the village and walked over to Zorion. He asked, “What’s going on?”

“Jacky has abducted Rossie.”

“What?”

Thinking that he had misheard it, Santiago turned to look inside the village and wondered why he didn’t know it.

“Are you sure?”

“Do I look like I’m joking?”

Zorion raised his head with a ferocious look in his eyes. Santiago ruminate momentarily and leaned against a car, asking, “For money?”

Zorion did not reply.

“If it’s not for money, then what is it for?”

While Santiago was talking, Xanthus also came out from the village. Raeleigh and Jepherson had left the previous day. At this time, they should still be unaware of what was happening here.

Xanthus was baffled by the behavior of the villagers, wondering why they had decorated the village.

Logan’s body had not recuperated yet. Due to the cross infection, he couldn’t even get down from the wheelchair.

A wedding? He pondered on this.

Xanthus walked from the village to Zorion. “Why did you bring so many men here? If someone calls the police, won’t you be in trouble?”

Xanthus said so out of kind intention, but when Santiago and Zorion heard it, they stared at Xanthus as though it was a joke.

Xanthus mused on this matter for a moment before he said, “Tell your men to put the guns away. We can talk about it calmly.”

“Jacky has kidnapped Rossie and wants her to marry Logan. Don’t you know about this?”

Santiago asked. Xanthus was stunned. He asked back, “Logan can’t even get out of his wheelchair, yet he’s getting married?”

“What did you say?” Zorion’s expression turned cold as ice in an instant. He got out of his car, approaching Waverly Village. Santiago pulled him from behind. “Can you get in? He’s doing this deliberately. I don’t think he will let you in that easily.”

Zorion turned around and threw a punch at Santiago. Santiago dodged it and gave Zorion a kick in return. “Don’t be ungrateful. I’m doing this for your own good.”

“Go and get Jacky! Tell him that if he doesn’t come out, I’ll set this village on fire.”

“Do it yourself. He must have had this all planned. He wouldn’t be afraid of any of your threats.”

Gnashing his teeth, Zorion turned around to look at Waverly Village. Jacky led his men over and stopped in front of them. “I’m here.”

Zorion walked over from the side and took away a gun from one of his men. He stood right before Jacky and pressed the gun on Jacky’s head, cocking its hammer. “You’re so eager to die, aren’t you? All right, I will fulfill your wish.”

Jacky’s men instantaneously stepped forward, whereas Zorion’s men all aimed their guns at Jacky’s men. However, Jacky’s men remained unfazed and were also prepared to take out their guns. Jacky said, “No one move.”

The people behind Jacky suddenly took a few steps back. Concurrently, Jacky looked Zorion into the eyes. “I want Deanna.”

Zorion gritted his teeth. “Jacky, that’s so shameless of you!”

“It’s not that I’m shameless. Deanna will be cold in the spring and you let her stay abroad alone. My mind will be in turmoil when I can’t see her.”

…

Standing behind, Santiago licked his teeth with the tip of his tongue and wrapped his arm around Xanthus’s shoulder. “Xanthus, let’s go back inside.”

Xanthus lifted his hand to push Santiago’s arm away, but to no avail. That said, Xanthus did not stay either as he did not want to meddle in other people’s business. There were so many guns here, and his life would be in peril if he stayed because they might accidentally discharge.

Xanthus followed Santiago and left first. After they left, Zorion threw his gun onto the ground. It accidentally discharged, and a few shots were fired.

Jacky didn’t move at all. “I want Deanna to come back for a few days. She can go back later if there’s nothing else.”

“Don’t tell me that you have no intention of letting her give birth here!”

Zorion kicked Jacky, who didn’t dodge. Consequently, he fell to the ground.NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

“Mr. Jacky…”

“Don’t move.”

Jacky stood up from the ground. His men dared not to move as ordered by him. Zorion got near him and kicked him once more. Jacky lost his balance and fell down again.

“Jacky, mark my words. One day, you’ll regret it.” Zorion gnashed his teeth and turned around to leave.

Jacky got up from the ground and took a deep breath. “Don’t allow anyone to enter these two days, including the relatives.”

“Yes, sir.”

As he watched Zorion leave, Jacky turned around and went back.

Santiago gazed at Jacky from afar. When Jacky had come back, Santiago asked, “Who suggested that you do so?”

“What do you mean?”

“I know you can’t come up with such a crafty idea. Is it Raeleigh?” Santiago knew what was going on at the thought of Raeleigh’s reaction that day.

Jacky replied, “It’s my idea. I want Deanna to come back. That’s it.”

“Then you are asking for trouble. If Zorion wants your life, I will help him.”

“I’m the son-in-law of the Whalen family. They can’t kill me. The child needs a father.”

Jacky strode away. Santiago turned to stare after him, smirking. Following that, he took out his phone to call Raeleigh.

“Deanna is coming back,” said Santiago when Raeleigh answered the call. In response to this, Raeleigh frowned for a second. She was having breakfast with Jepherson, who sat opposite to her. Jepherson lowered his eyes. “Is it Santiago?”

“He said that Deanna is coming back. Do you know about this?” Raeleigh intentionally did not take her phone away while asking Jepherson. Jepherson paused for a while with his mouth full of food. He then looked at Raeleigh. “Deanna is coming back?”

“Santiago told me so.”

“Really?” Jepherson didn’t know what Raeleigh and Santiago were doing. He continued eating elegantly with his head down. Raeleigh asked, “How did you know it?”

On the phone, Santiago let out a sigh of relief. “Raeleigh, you’re amazing!”
