My Billionaire Ex Wants Me Back (Katherine) novel Chapter 72

Chapter 72 Face to Face with the Kidnappers

The woman smirked again. This little girl was half-unconscious and still thi enough to bargain. And on top of that, worrying about other people.

A brat so sweet she could melt stone. Annoying

“Sorry, kid. We’re scared that money of yours comes with strings we can’t surt

Ivy closed her eyes slowly. She had no strength left to speak. Her body felt col she had the strangest sensation of floating, drifting upward. The pain was fadir

That feeling made her want so badly to just… fall asleep.

In the haze, she thought she heard Katherine beside her, singing “Twinkle, Twin Star.” patting her softly, coaxing her to sleep.

So sleepy. So tired. She wanted to sleep so much…

But Katherine had also said she couldn’t sleep right now.

Inside Ivy’s fading mind, two tiny voices were fighting. One said, Sleep. Just sleep. It

anymore.

The other said, If you sleep, you might never see Mommy again. And without you, Mommy

No. No, no.

Ivy didn’t want to make Katherine cry.

In the last second before everything went dark, vy forced her eyes open.

Can’t sleep.

Mommy said no sleeping.

I have promised Mommy. I’m going to be the best girl ever…

Katherine followed the tracker, pushing the car faster and faster. But no matter how fas went, the dot vanished. She slammed the brakes

The last location had been a highway overpass, till several miles ahead.

Katherine bit down hard on her lip. Even at top speed, she needed at least five minutes.

For one terrible moment, despair crashed over her again. She bit her lip, dropped her forehead against the steering wheel, and forced herself to breathe. To think.

Without the tracker, all she had left was analysis Guesswork. Where would they take Ivy?

They’d grabbed a child from a school. They knew the police would be on them fast. Their priority right now had to be getting out of Crestburg before the net closed.

This direction led to the airport and the harbor.

Airport security was tighter-longer lines, more checks. In their current situation, the harbor was the easier play.

Katherine looked up. Her eyes hardened.

She couldn’t be sure. But she had to bet.

Just as she was about to floor it, Julian sent her a video.

The boys had restored the surveillance footage. Clear as day: a man in a security-guard uniform had stopped Ivy, talked to her for less than a minute, and the instant Ivy realized the danger and tried to run, he’d grabbed her and carried her away.

Katherine stared at the man’s face on screen and burned it into her memory.

She hit the gas and shot toward the harbor.

Behind her, Lucas spotted a familiar car ahead.

That looked like Katherine’s.

Katherine?

What was she doing here?

He was about to speed up when a call came in.

It was Rachel.

Rachel had no idea what was happening and was panicking. She called to fish for information. “Lucas, any news on the child?”

Lucas frowned. “Not yet.”

Rachel sounded very concerned. “I hope she’ll be alright. I already told my father-he’s

“Mm.”

Lucas had no time for small talk. He hung up. But the car ahead had already pulled away- fast-and vanished.

Katherine couldn’t afford a single second of delay. If they got Ivy out of Crestburg, the odds of finding her dropped to almost nothing.

The tension pushed her foot harder on the gas. She never let up. But then-red light. Rush hour. Cars everywhere. She had no choice but to slam the brakes.

She stared at the red light, counting every second. Each one felt like a knife.
