Adam glanced at his phone—it was an unfamiliar number.
"Mr. Alvarez, I don't recognize this number. Do you know who's calling?" Leo asked.
Adam frowned. He had no idea who it could be. Without wasting any time, he answered the call.
A moment later, a familiar voice came through the receiver, clear and steady. "Hello, Mr. Alvarez, it's me—Celine."
Celine?
Adam froze in place, completely caught off guard. He never expected her to be the one to call him. It had been three years since she changed her number.
He had assumed she had already boarded her flight, leaving everything behind. Yet now, here she was, calling him.
A rush of excitement surged through his chest.
He tightened his grip on the phone, his voice filled with anxiety. "Celine, have you left?"
"Mr. Alvarez, I was about to, but something's happened. Bella and Mrs. Alvarez have been kidnapped!"
What? Bella and Grace had been taken?
Adam sprang to his feet, his voice seething with fury. "What do you mean? Who took them?"
Celine quickly recounted the details of the situation.
Without a moment's hesitation, Adam ordered, "Wait for me at the airport—I'm on my way!"
"Mr. Alvarez, did something happen to Ms. Bella and Mrs. Alvarez?" Leo asked.
Adam's gaze darkened. "I can't believe someone would dare to kidnap my family on my own turf. Whoever did this must be looking for trouble. I will hunt them down and find out exactly who they are!"
…
Celine and the maid waited at the airport. Soon, Adam arrived, his tall, commanding figure cutting through the cold air. The biting wind followed him inside, amplifying the aura of power he carried.
Adam's gaze locked onto hers. "Are you sure you haven't crossed anyone?"
Celine shook her head. "I've only just arrived in Kinthorne. How could I have made enemies so quickly?"
"What about Perry?"
Celine hesitated, surprised by the sudden mention of Perry.
Adam clarified, "Perry is Bella's father. What if he's made someone angry, and they've taken Bella in retaliation?"
Celine was taken aback, shaking her head firmly. "That's impossible."
Adam paused for a moment, thinking carefully. "This is Kinthorne, and my mother was taken along with Bella. She wasn't part of their original plan. Because of that, they won't act recklessly. I'm confident they'll contact us soon. The best course of action right now is to wait."
"Wait?" Celine snapped. "And what if that call never comes? Bella's only three—she's never been apart from me! I can't just sit here and do nothing!"

The readers' comments on the novel: The Divorce Prescription (Celina and Adam)
Such a wack writer....
And now we're onto another sets of characters that weren't included from the beginning....
Nathan and Michelle???...
Thought Celine got pregnant before Hailey…..how come Celine is 3 months and Hailey 7?...
if there is already a surveillance video as evidence for the poisoning of Hailey, why go all the trouble of pretending? Celine is also pregnant right? What is happening to them, and what about Adam's headaches ......
Why is this writer like this! Seems it’s going to be a never ending story!!! Rebecca or Melody, why is she here again!!! Don’t these female characters move on!!! Goshhhhh...
A man with a team of invisible bodyguards that only appear on orders and disappear in time of troubles. Hmm😆🤏...
When will Hailey show that she is Adam's cousin and be ruthless? Joanne needs to be put in her place and realize Jonah does not want her. Ewan is just as bad as she is. Hailey needs to get help from Celine or Adam if she doesn't want Jonah to find out what's happening....
If the focus has to go on other characters in the book, at least make it more interesting! They were separated for three years, and still having love rivals! Especially one from the past!!! Why can’t Ewan and Joanne move in together and move on!!...
Imagine the long read if they decide to switch back to Adam and Celine. Not reading this with the same enthusiasm from the beginning....
