The Billionaire Twins Need A New Mommy! novel Chapter 772

Chapter 772: Prisoners

"Hey!!!"

Lola screamed until not only her throat hurt, but her ears rang from the force of her own voice. She panted heavily, staring in the same direction even though she couldn’t see anything.

It was complete darkness.

Or at least, that was what she thought.

"I told you to kill me!" she shouted hoarsely. "Because I promise all of you—if I get out of here—I’m going to throw you into total darkness. A permanent one!"

She exhaled sharply, touching her aching throat as she winced. She ruffled her hair, her head pounding from all the screaming. Never in her life had she screamed this much.

"These annoying—"

"Lola?"

She froze as another voice echoed in the same room. Worse... it sounded familiar.

"Lola, is that— is that you?"

She blinked and turned her head to the voice, but all she saw was darkness. Then she heard metal clanking, like someone grabbing bars and shaking them abruptly.

"Is it really you?!" the familiar voice called again.

Her brows drew together as she squinted, allowing her eyes to adjust. Only then did Lola notice a small window high above. Moonlight filtered faintly through it.

"You..." she trailed off, her mouth opening and closing. For many obvious reasons, her face twisted in dismay and disbelief. "Derek?!" 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

"Lola!" Derek nodded from inside a cell. Unlike her, his eyes were already adjusted to the darkness, and he could see her figure clearly. "Lola, it’s me!"

But instead of relief, her response was:

"What in the world are you doing here?! Are you stalking me?!"

"Huh?!"

"I told you to move on! I’m a married woman now!"

"Are you insane?!" he gasped, horrified. "Are you seriously thinking about something so ridiculous right now?!"

She bit her tongue. No, she was joking. She didn’t like him, and teasing him like this always bruised his pride. It was a habit, done at an inappropriate time.

"Lola," he huffed, ignoring her nonsense. "What’s going on here? Why—do you know these people?"

Well... not personally.

"No." She squinted harder, finally catching his silhouette and the bars in front of him.

For a moment, she focused on adjusting her vision. She still couldn’t see him clearly, but she could make out his figure on the floor inside a small cell.

That was enough.

Derek Lancaster.

A man from her past. Someone she didn’t want to see again. Not because she still hated him, or because she hadn’t forgiven him. If anything, she simply had no reason to cross paths with him anymore.

Who would’ve thought their reunion would be like this?

Or rather...

"Those bastards..." she muttered, glaring daggers at the door. "Did they really think putting me in this place with you would help me relax?"

Were they mocking her?

Lola pinched the bridge of her nose before peering into the cell. "How long have you been here?"

"I don’t know." He shook his head. "A few days? A week? I lost track of time. But when I arrived, they were already here."

She stiffened. "Who?"

"Them." Derek tilted his head to the side. "Amala and Silo."

Amala.
