My Baby’s Daddy novel (Anastasia) novel Chapter 2610

Roy thought to himself, I knew she was a reasonable woman. Zacharias put an arm around Shirley’s shoulder and led her to the car. He said, “I won’t let something like this happen again.”

She hoped nothing like this ever happened again, even if the only reason was for him not to risk himself once more.

Imogen followed them. She looked at the ruins behind her and felt relieved inside, thinking, Finally got rid of the kidnappers. Now, I just have to keep an eye on her. I hope she didn’t get suspicious of me.

Shirley entered the car, and Zacharias, noticing her grimy face, gently wiped away the dust. When he saw how unkempt her hair was, he asked curiously, “How did you get out?”

“Some guy came to give me food. I killed him, took his dagger, and unfettered myself. You guys came less than ten minutes after that,” she said.

“Did they…” He hesitated, knowing the sensitivity of the question but needing to know the answer. She shook her head. “No. They were eager to split the ransom. They know who I am, and they wouldn’t dare to touch me.”

Zacharias heaved a sigh of relief. He trusted Shirley unconditionally.

Roy, nursing his swollen cheek, took the co- driver’s seat. “We could’ve kept some of them alive and grilled them for answers, but they were all killed. We might have to put this case away now. Flor might not even be able to give us an explanation.”
