Dear Ex-wife Marry Me novel (Maja) novel Chapter 1401

It would have crushed anyone to see a person they had doted on for so long suddenly appear in such a harrowing video. In the footage, Judith was seen pleading with Maja for help, but Maja remained cold and indifferent, until Judith had been assaulted.

Dylan cursed himself for not being able to teleport to North America. He floored the accelerator, only to be bombarded with a series of texts at that exact moment.

Extortion messages.

[Transfer 7 million dollars to this account, or your sister's video will be all over the North American elite social circles.]

Dylan slammed on the brakes in shock and immediately instructed his assistant to wire the money to the account provided. He also ordered a background check on the phone number that had sent the videos.

But ten minutes later, his assistant called back.

"Mr. Dylan Sanders, we've hit a dead end with the number. It's from overseas, and that region has been notorious for scams in recent years."

"Are you suggesting this could be a scam?"

"I can't be certain, Mr. Sanders. I heard that control of the company has passed to Mr. Beck Sanders?"

Before, Beck had rarely been involved with the company, always leaving Dylan to tirelessly work and pull late shifts. Now the staff was rattled by rumors of a change in presidency.

But Dylan's mind was nowhere near the office affairs. Those videos had indeed been sent from that number, and now Judith was unreachable.

He urgently arranged for the videos to be analyzed, confirming they weren't fabricated; they were real.

Dylan felt a wrenching pain in his chest. He boarded a plane, desperate to return to North America and find Judith.

When he landed, there was no time for jet lag. He immediately set out to look for Judith. Eventually, she was found in a notorious slum, barely conscious and muttering to herself.

"Dylan, where are you? Oh, Dylan."

A woman in her state, in such a place - one could only imagine what she had endured.

A man was seen pressing Judith's head down to his lap.

"Help! No! Maja, please save me."
