Attracted By My Ex-wife novel Chapter 550

The AN Group was safe now, but Kevin still hadn't been found. Even Kim, who was sure that Kevin had died during the duel couldn't help but feel nervous now.

Although Mount YS was a dangerous place, there were no beasts or wild animals that might have eaten the corpse. He couldn't understand why they hadn't found Kevin's body yet.

Late at one night, Kim was standing on the top floor, sipping on red wine. A frown lined his forehead.

It had been two weeks since Kevin had gone missing, but Sam and his team hadn't stopped their searching spree. They were still looking for him everywhere.

Kim's plan would end in vain if the man was still alive.

The thought frightened him. He took out the phone from his pocket and called Anne.

The woman had been suffering from insomnia ever since Kevin had gone missing -- she couldn't sleep even for a second. Anne was staring at the ceiling, thinking about her husband. Just then, her phone blared, breaking her train of thoughts.

She frowned, wondering who would call her at this hour.

The name on the caller ID sent a shiver down her spine. Her body stiffened.

Kim hadn't contacted her after she had promised to marry him. However, his unexpected call at this hour made her think of the worst.

She rubbed her forehead and finally answered the call.

"Anne, I have given you two weeks. I can't wait any longer. We will register our marriage in three days!" Kim said menacingly, without any room for discussion.

"Why are you in such a hurry?" Anne asked in shock.

"I have given you two whole weeks to look for Kevin, but there is still no information about him. It has been two weeks since the man fell off the cliff. Do you think he would have come to you if he were still alive? He is dead! Don't you understand that? I can't wait any longer!" he barked.

Anne's heart sank. At first, she was sure that everything was Kevin's plan. However, the man hadn't tried contacting her.

Anne loved Kevin with all her heart, and she knew that he loved her too.

Kevin knew that she would be worried to death if he went missing for a long time.

She couldn't understand why he hadn't bothered contacting her. Why was he hiding?

"It has only been two weeks since Kevin has gone missing. The Civil Affairs Bureau won't file a divorce," said Anne. "It will take at least two years."

Kim guffawed as if he had heard the stupidest thing in the world. "A golden key can open any door. You don't need to worry about all that. I'll wait for you at the gate of the Civil Affairs Bureau at 9 a.m. tomorrow!"

He hung up the call, leaving no chance for her to answer.

The mayor had accepted Brandon as his son-in-law. The people in the city respected him. With the boy's help, Kim could get whatever he wanted without any hassle.

Anne clutched her phone and closed her eyes. Her body began to tremble as fear wracked her nerves. However, she didn't shed a drop of tear.

'Kevin, did you hear what he said? If I don't marry him, Kim will acquire our company and tear it apart.

I'm afraid that he'd do something crazy. I have no choice but to marry him.

Where on earth are you now? Will you come back to me or not?' Anne could only cry to herself. A thousand questions swarmed her head every day, but she couldn't find the answer to any.

Anne sighed and poured herself a glass of brandy. She opened the curtains and looked out of the window.

The sky looked pitch black. Thick foams of cloud hid the stars. However, the bright neon lights illuminated the streets, dispelling hope and terror.

'Are we under the same sky?' she wondered.

Anne shook her head and laughed at her fate. She took a sip of brandy, feeling stupid. The drink burned down her throat and stomach.

She had been drinking for the past two weeks to ease the pain in her heart. However, she could feel nothing but pain and despair. The silence of the night killed her. However, listening to people talking about her husband's death broke her heart even more. Every day was torture.

"Kevin, it has been two weeks since you left us, but I still believe that you are alive. I don't care if it is two weeks or two decades. I will still wait for you to come back!" Her fingers loosened, and the glass fell to the ground, shattering into pieces. Rage and madness blazed in her eyes.

Kim wanted to get married to her. Anne had no choice but to agree to him because her decision would affect the company and her children.

But she would never give herself to Kim. If he forced her, she wouldn't hesitate to kill him.

Anne could never let another man lay a finger on her.

The night elapsed as the sun peeked out -- it was dawn again. However, Anne was still standing in the exact same place, staring out of the window.

She was ready to face whatever came her way.

Her phone rang again. Anne looked at the screen and found that it was Kim again.

Anger and disgust crossed her face. She stared out of the window like a stone statue.

A few seconds later, the phone stopped ringing. Soon a message flashed on the screen.

Anne let out a weary sigh and checked the message. "Don't challenge me. I think you know what I am capable of doing!"

She looked at the ceiling, feeling numb.

A knock on the door forced Anne to stop thinking. She trudged forward and opened the door. Selma was standing outside.

Her hair had turned grey; she had lost a lot of weight in two weeks.

The woman looked at Anne with teary eyes.

Anne gathered herself and wiped the tears on Selma's face. "Mom, don't cry!"

She had sent a message to Selma at dawn, informing her that she was going to marry Kim.

Selma shook her head and swept Anne into a tight embrace. "I'm sorry, Anne. I'm so sorry. Everything is my fault. I'm so sorry. Don't listen to him, Anne. The company isn't as important to us as you are. We can't afford to lose you for the sake of the company. You don't need to suffer like this. Please don't marry Kim."

Selma couldn't watch her daughter-in-law marry a heartless monster.

The fact that they hadn't found Kevin's body yet ignited a spark of hope in her heart.

Maybe Kevin was still living somewhere in this world, and it was her responsibility to protect Anne and the children for him.

"Anne, please listen to me!
