Billionaire's Pregnant Ex-wife novel Chapter 49

Chapter 49

Frozen with fear, I stopped breathing as the man pressed the sharp knife closer to my body until the tip pierced my skin, causing it to bleed slightly from the small wound. It was a warning telling me that he could do inore than that. Despite wanting to scream, no words emerged from my lips as the man helplessly dragged me to his car. He hauled me into the backseat, and another man who was already inside caught me in his arms and pressed a gun against my head.

“Don’t make this difficult for us,” the man holding me icily warned. He pressed the gun to my neck until the cold metal dug deep into the tender flesh, bit back a scream and pressed my lips together. I couldn’t die like this. Not yet, when I still had debts to collect from people who had stepped on me like a toy. Revenge. That’s what I wanted. I still wanted to make those people who made my life miserable pay for what they did before I died.

The first man finally climbed into the driver’s seat and turned the engine on. He quickly turned the car onto the highway and left the place while the crowd was still in a frenzy. The man beside me loosened his hold against my neck. A cough emerged from my lips, and I slumped back in the seat, dizzy and gasping for breath.

The gun disappeared from my sight, and he yanked my arms and tied them with a rope behind my back. For some unknown reason, he covered my eyes with a handkerchief

The car had been driving for a straight ten minutes when it finally pulled to a stop at the side of the road. Unable to see my surroundings, I had no idea

where we were.

“We got the woman,” said the man in the driver’s seat. I swallowed hard as I listened to the conversation he was having on the phone. “As we discussed, pay us, and we will hand her over to you. Do whatever you want with her afterward, and we won’t care. I’ll be waiting at the place we agreed on.”

The call onded, and I still had no idea where we were. We made a number of turns, which made it more difficult for me to guess our location. With my blindfold on, I couldn’t see anything except darkness.

The sound of a car screeching to a stop pulled my attention. I heard the driver’s side door open, and the man driving the car climbed out. Almost a second later, the door beside me opened, and the man dragged me out without warning. A startled scream escaped my lips as he tossed me into the other car like a toy.

My head hit the car handle, and I jerked in pain, falling t

the floor and groaning.

“Hand me the payment,” the first man said.

The driver of the car I was dragged into pushed the door open and climbed out. What followed next was not the peaceful transaction I had been expecting.

Bang! Bang!

Bang! Bang!

The sound of gunfire filled the air. I buried my face into the floor, trembling with fear,

Four gunshots. After that, there was silence. I whimpered on the backseat floor Eke a pitiful animal, wondering if I could be the next one to die.

“You’re not going to die. Not yet, Lily,” a familiar voice spoke as though she read my thoughts, I jerked in shock upon instantly recognizing her.

Natalia Romanii

Fear surged within me, and I felt as though I couldn’t breathe properly. What did she want from me? She had everything, and I had almost nothing now, so why was she doing this to me?

“I’ll make your last day on earth memorable, Lily. I’ll torture you like a wild animal until you can’t take it anymore, then I’ll toss your cold body into the

ocean.”

Natalia yanked my hair hard, and I bit my p as her fingers tightened until I thought my hair would be pulled from my scalp. Her hand slapped me across the face, and I fell back on the floor with broken lips. The metallic taste of blood filled my mouth.

“Sleep for a while, Lily. I’ll wake you up once we reach our destination.”

That was the last thing I heard from Natalia before something hard hit my bead. A ringing sound filled my ears before my head finally dropped to the floor. Seconds later, pitch–black darkness enveloped me.

I woke up as icy–cold water soaked my skin, and gasped for air. Shiverbig, my eyes fluttered open after realizing the blindfold had been removed.

Finally, you’re awake, Lily,” Natalia Romani greeted me. My head instantly jerked in her direction. The sudden movement caused a sharp pain in my head where she had hit me a while ago. I grimaced and tightly pressed my eyes shut. When the pain subsided, I opened them again.
