Broken Vows and Buried Twins novel Chapter 125

There was quite a line at the boarding gate, and Hester shuffled forward slowly with the crowd.

Just as she was nearing the front, the sharp sound of approaching footsteps echoed behind her.

Before she could even process it, an iron grip clamped down on her arm.

The man's palm was dry and radiating heat, his fingers strong and unyielding. Strapped to his wrist was a limited-edition watch—the exact one she had gifted Julian Weston on their wedding day.

Hester's breath hitched. She jerked her head up and crashed straight into the man's dark, thunderous eyes.

She froze, her mind instantly wiping to static. She forgot to even try and pull away.

Julian stared down at her, a terrifying fury swirling in his black eyes. His thin lips parted as he delivered a bone-chilling question: "Hester, where do you think you're taking my child?"

Boom!

Julian's words exploded in her mind like a bomb.

He knew about the pregnancy?

No, that's impossible...

Hester was entirely blindsided by this catastrophic turn of events!

She had prepared herself for the possibility that Julian might track her down overseas eventually, but she had never, in her wildest nightmares, anticipated being intercepted at the boarding gate!

"Hey, are you moving or what? If not, step aside!"

The irritated grumbles of delayed passengers brought her back to reality.

Hester snapped out of her daze, taking a ragged breath to force her panic down.

The absolute worst-case scenario had just unfolded.

She pressed her lips together and glared at Julian. "Let go of me."

Julian's gaze was lethal. "Do you honestly think you're still getting on that plane?"

She knew it was over. She wasn't leaving today.

Hester leveled a glacial look at him. "Since you've found me, let's talk. Let go of my arm first. There's no need to cause a scene in front of everyone."

Hearing this, Julian finally released his iron grip.

Hester pulled her arm back and stepped to the side of the line.

Only then did she realize Julian hadn't come alone.
