My CEO HUSBAND sign the divorce novel Chapter 189

Chapter 189: She’s missing!

Inside the building,a chair scraped loudly against the floor.

The next second, I was shoved down onto it.

Rough rope tightened around my wrists, binding me firmly to the chair.

I struggled instinctively, trying to pull free.

"Let me go—!"

Before I could finish speaking, a sharp force struck my face.

Smack.

The sound echoed harshly through the empty building.

The impact sent me crashing sideways onto the floor.

Pain exploded across my cheek instantly, followed by a burning numbness that spread slowly to my lips.

For a moment, I could barely feel half my face at all.

My cheek swelled rapidly, sharp pain stinging where nails had scraped across my skin. I tasted blood at the corner of my mouth as I lay motionless on the cold floor.

One of the men grabbed my hair roughly, forcing my head back before shoving me upright against the chair again. The sudden pull sent pain shooting across my scalp, making me wince.

A weak sound escaped my throat.

Then footsteps echoed through the abandoned building.

A man in a dark suit walked inside.

The others immediately stepped aside.

At first, I could only make out his silhouette beneath the dim lighting, but something about him felt familiar.

"We finally meet again, Alicia Sinclair."

The moment he spoke, my body stiffened.

That voice—

He stepped closer and grabbed my chin, forcing me to look up.

And finally, I saw his face clearly.

Lucas Summer.

So this had all been arranged by him.

But why?

What had I ever done to deserve this?

Lucas studied my face coldly.

"Looking at you up close..." he said slowly, "I can finally understand why Alexander has been losing his mind over you."

My breathing trembled painfully.

"What do you want from me?" I forced out weakly. "What did I ever do to you?"

A cold laugh escaped him.

"What did you do?"

His grip tightened slightly.

"You took something that never belonged to you."

I turned my face away instinctively, but he yanked my hair sharply, forcing me to face him again.

"Do you really think someone like you deserves to stand beside Alexander?"

Something cold flashed in his hand.

Before I could react, a sharp pain tore across my cheek.

I gasped violently.

Warm blood began running down my skin almost immediately.

Lucas stared down at me emotionlessly, the small blade glinting faintly beneath the dim light.

My vision blurred from the pain.

The metallic scent of blood filled the air.

"You care a lot about this face, don’t you?" he said quietly. "Let’s see whether Alexander still wants you now."

Another sharp sting cut across my skin.

My body trembled uncontrollably.

The room around me began spinning.

I tried to steady myself, but the chair tipped sideways, crashing onto the floor along with me.

Lucas looked down at me coldly, as though admiring my misery.

Then he turned toward the others nearby.

"Handle the rest," he said indifferently. "And make sure there are no problems afterward."

Fear surged through me instantly.

I tried to move, but my entire body felt weak and heavy.

The men approached slowly.

Their footsteps echoed closer and closer across the empty building.
