Buying My Forever Wife novel Chapter 577

Alaric played right into Sylvia's words.

"I've already divorced Ivy, and she will never step foot in my life again. Now it's your turn to get out. I don't want to see anyone—unless you bring Stella back to me."

Sylvia stared at him, stunned.

He actually divorced Ivy?

When did that happen?

It was true she hadn't seen Ivy around the past couple of days.

But how was she supposed to bring Stella back?

Stella had been taken by Katherine Miller's men. By now, the girl had likely been disposed of and buried in the dirt.

Pulling herself out of her shock, Sylvia kept the tears flowing.

"Even with all your men, you can't find her. How am I supposed to?"

"If you can't find her, then get the hell out!"

Alaric's patience snapped, his voice roaring like thunder.

"If you hadn't shown up demanding to see her, she would never have gone missing! At the end of the day, you're the reason she's gone!"

He grabbed Sylvia by the arm, shoved her violently out into the hallway, and issued a lethal warning.

"Listen to me. If Stella doesn't come back, don't you dare show your face in my city ever again. Because if you do, I will destroy you."

Alaric was certain that if Sylvia had orchestrated the kidnapping, she wanted something from him.

Which meant, eventually, she would produce the child to negotiate.

He prayed to God that was the case.

If Stella was alive, he would let Sylvia walk away unscathed.

But was Stella really still alive?

Alaric didn't know.

He locked the suite door and stepped out onto the balcony, staring into the dark night. Half his mind was consumed with terror for the child.

The other half was anchored to Ivy.

If Stella never came back...

He truly didn't know how he could pretend everything was fine and bring Ivy back to live with him.

Because he had no idea what to do with her, he continued to run away, refusing to answer her texts.

Out in the hallway.

Sylvia stood humiliated, completely blindsided by this disastrous outcome.
