Divorced and Pregnant My New Life with a Billionaire Drives My Ex Crazy novel Chapter 31

Dr. Cano was practically sobbing into the phone. “Mrs. Salisbury, you’ve really messed up my life.”

“When can I finally come home? Seriously, when?” he wailed.

Beside him, the young nurse sounded even more desperate. “I don’t want to be stuck in Antarctica. I just want to go home. Dr. Cano, please, ask Mrs. Salisbury for help.”

Dr. Cano hadn’t even started to speak when Wiona cut in. “Tell me, what do you think a man like Mr. Sullivan does to people who try to mess with him?”

“For the disaster you’ve caused, prison would be the easy way out,” she said, her voice icy. “Or are you really hoping to spend the rest of your life behind bars? Out here, at least you still have your freedom. Lay low for a while and you might be able to come back. I can help you get a new name, a new identity, even a new city, and you could start over. But if you go to jail, it’s game over. Are you sure you want to come back, Dr. Cano?”

Just thinking about spending the rest of his life in prison made Dr. Cano shudder. He gritted his teeth. “No. I… I won’t come back.”

Wiona’s voice was calm, but there was steel behind it. “Once you’re gone, there’s no turning back. Don’t even think about running back here and betraying me halfway through. If you do, I’ll be the one taking you to court, not just Mr. Sullivan.”

The idea of being dragged into court from both sides made Dr. Cano’s head spin.

He wiped his tears, trying to sound braver than he felt. “Don’t worry. I’ve done everything you asked. As soon as I heard there was trouble, I destroyed all the files and called you. No one at the hospital will find anything.”

“It better stay that way,” Wiona replied. “I just wired three million to your account. That should be enough for you two to get by over there. But listen, with Mr. Sullivan’s resources, you know he could find you if he really tried. Your top priority is getting new fake identities and moving to the place I told you about. I have a friend who runs a hospital there. He’ll take you in.”

When the call ended, Wiona finally felt her nerves start to settle. At least she’d acted fast. Dr. Cano and the nurse were gone. If she hadn’t gotten them out, she didn’t even want to imagine what could have happened.

Her hand drifted to her belly.

Her babies… They were hers and hers alone.

That night, Jace didn’t come looking for her, which meant Wiona actually got a decent night’s sleep for once.

The next morning, she went downstairs and found Jace already up, sipping his coffee. As soon as he saw her, he stood and pulled out a chair for her, all polite and attentive.

Before Wiona could say a word, Jace jumped in. “You’re right, Grandma. It’s my fault. I’ve been taking Wiona for granted, especially with her being pregnant. I’ll make it up to her, starting today.”

Wiona glanced at Molly, who was standing behind Grandma Grace. She still needed Grandma’s approval for a few things, and she didn’t want to make a fuss. Plus, going out and spending his money didn’t sound so bad.

After breakfast, Wiona went upstairs, changed into something simple, and left the house with Jace.

When Alona heard about it, she was furious. She swept everything off her vanity and onto the floor.

“So, that old woman’s really going to interfere with Jace and Wiona’s marriage,” she hissed. “Wiona thinks she can trap Jace with a baby and worm her way into this family. I never agreed to it. Now the old lady’s trying to play matchmaker? Not a chance. Wiona has to go. She’s not staying in the Salisbury family.”

Alona didn’t care for Kellen, but desperate times called for desperate measures. She grabbed her phone and sent Kellen a text.

“Kellen, let’s grab lunch.”
