Blind date turned proposal (Josie and Dexter) novel Chapter 547

Chapter 547 Escape 

Josie entered the VIP elevator and pressed the button for the ground floor. Her heart sank as the elevator descended, and her inner alarms started to blare. 

Her cheeks burned red as her heart pounded in her chest. 

The passcode she entered was the date of their wedding anniversary. 

When the elevator door opened, Josić stepped into the hotel’s luxurious lobby. The lobby was adorned with marble flooring. 

She took a deep breath and stepped out, trying to look like she belonged there. 

Josie didn’t expect to see Dexter at the cafe next to the lobby. As she was about to walk through the entrance, their eyes met. 

His eyes turned cold as he saw Josie trying to flee. He rose to his feet and called out to her, “Josie!” 

Josie’s heart skipped a beat at the sound of his voice. She didn’t hesitate for a second and bolted through the door. 

Cars were driving by the hotel, and she managed to catch a taxi just in time. She got in the cab as soon as Dexter came out of the hotel entrance. Her heart was beating out her chest as she sat down. 

“Please hurry, my husband is an abuser. He’s chasing me with a knife.” 

The driver stepped on the pedal and looked out the window. He was puzzled about how a man who seemed so well-groomed and distinguished could be an abuser. 

Josie placed her hands on her chest to calm her racing heart. After a while, she saw a car coming up behind them. It was Dexter driving his black Maybach. His car had a much more powerful engine than the taxi, and she could see him gaining speed on them. 

They were speeding through the streets recklessly. The taxi driver was starting to get worried about offending the driver of the Maybach. “Miss, who is he?” he asked. 

Dexter lowered his window and gave her a thumbs up. He was impressed by her determination to escape. 

She could feel her blood rushing through her veins as she imagined what would happen if Dexter caught 

her. 

“He’s a monster. Please take me to the nearest police station.” 

Josie was wary of being caught by him. She knew he would never do anything to her in front of a crowd. 

Despite everything, Dexter had never hurt her. He had always been attentive and caring towards her. 

Before they reached the police station, the cars came to a halt at a traffic light. 

The traffic light had a sixty-four-second countdown timer. 

I’m doomed, Josie thought to herself when she realized the predicament she was in. 

Dexter controlled his rage as he pulled Josie out of the car. He plastered a smile on his face and asked through gritted teeth, “Why are you running away? I’m not going to do anything to you.” 

Josie winced in pain as Dexter’s grip tightened on her hands. “Dexter, let me go,” she stuttered. “I promise I won’t go anywhere.” 

Dexter’s face tightened with anger as the silence between them stretched on.
