Carly sank into the couch, forcing herself to think clearly. What was her next move?
Grace had vanished, and Adam was undoubtedly aware of it by now. He was likely with Celine right now, and the two of them were probably planning their next move against her.
Carly wasn't about to let this opportunity slip away. She was determined to make Celine disappear for good.
With that thought, Carly quickly grabbed her phone and sent a message to Celine.
In the CEO's office at Alvarez Group, Celine's phone suddenly chimed. She glanced at the screen—it was a message from an unknown number.
"If you want Bella to live, go somewhere secluded and answer my call. Remember, if anyone else finds out, she will be killed on the spot."
Celine's heart skipped a beat. The kidnappers had finally made their move.
She had been preparing for this moment. As long as they acted, there would be traces she could follow.
The phone number was generated through a virtual network, confirming how cautious and calculated the kidnappers were.
Sitting in his office chair, Adam heard the ping of the text message. He looked up at Celine. "Your phone just went off. Who's texting you?"
Celine knew she couldn't let anyone else in on this.
She quickly picked up her phone. "Hailey."
Adam gave a brief nod.
Just then, Leo entered the office, his voice barely above a whisper. "Mr. Alvarez, our men still haven't found any trace of Ms. Bella or Mrs. Alvarez. But no news is good news—the kidnappers haven't made any moves yet. For now, they should be safe."
Adam nodded in agreement, pulling out a map. "Continue searching these areas..."
As Adam and Leo were engrossed in their conversation, Celine quietly stood and left the room.
In a secluded corner, her phone rang.
She answered right away. "Hello? Who are you? Do you have Bella and Mrs. Alvarez? Why did you take them?"
A distorted, mechanical voice came through the phone.
"Yes, Bella and Mrs. Alvarez are with me."
"If you want to save your daughter, you'll do exactly as I say."
"Go on."
"Go to the private winery immediately; there's a party going on there."
It was a twisted request, to say the least.
Celine let out a sharp, mocking laugh. "Fine, I'll go. But you must guarantee Bella and Mrs. Alvarez will remain unharmed."
"Relax. As long as you obey, they'll be safe. But if you don't, they'll pay the price. And remember—no one else can know about this. If you tell anyone, there will be consequences."
With that, the call ended abruptly.
Celine clenched her phone tightly, her mind swirling with questions about what lay hidden at the private winery. She had no choice but to go for Bella and Grace's sake.
But this was something Adam could never find out.
She returned to the office and said, "Mr. Alvarez, Hailey needs to speak with me. I'll be stepping out for a bit."

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....
