Unwilling Trophy Wife (Serena and Victor) novel Chapter 183

It was already deep into the night. The area around Serena was completely unfamiliar, and she had no idea where she was. At least she had her phone and a strong signal. After running out of the yard, she found some bushes and hid inside them.

“Damn it, don’t let me catch you!” Luther’s voice came from nearby. He’d obviously recovered somewhat, but there wasn’t a single light out here in the darkness. Even he couldn’t spot where Serena was hiding right away.

Serena covered her mouth tightly as tea

streamed down her face. She didn’t have time to make a call; so she rapidly pressed the power button to send an SOS signal. ‘How far is the nearest police station? Will they get here before Luther finds me?‘ she thought.

In the pitch–black darkness, her fear and anxiety felt magnified a thousand times. Serena didn’t even dare breathe loudly. When she heard Luther’s

footsteps getting closer, her heart nearly jumped into her throat.

Luckily, Luther only searched the area nearby and didn’t find the bushes where she was hiding. He cursed under his breath and left.

‘Am I safe now?‘ Serena thought. Even though she couldn’t hear anything around her anymore, she stayed hidden just to be careful. It wasn’t until she heard police sirens in the distance that she finally felt relieved.

“I’m here!” Serena called out, using what was left of her voice. The officers immediately spotted where Serena was, and she completely passed out.

When Serena opened her eyes again, doctors and police officers were standing around her bed. It was almost dawn outside.

“Ms. Gray, you’re finally awake. Are you feeling okay anywhere?” a police officer asked as he walked over.

Serena could smell the sharp disinfectant smell of the hospital, but it made her feel incredibly safe.

A female officer came up to Serena and helped her sit up in the hospital bed. “We caught the guy who abducted you, Ms. Gray. You don’t need to worry anymore.”

Serena had only passed out temporarily because she’d been through too much stress all night, plus the shock of everything. She’d been wound up tight like a spring, so when she finally relaxed, she just collapsed.

Now that Serena was awake, she felt completely refreshed and clear–headed. Everything was finally over.

“We’ll need you to come back to the station with us, Ms. Gray, just for a simple statement,” the officer said.

Serena nodded her agreement. More importantly, she wanted to see Luther again and find out if what he’d said was true or not.

‘If the baby Eliza was carrying really wasn’t Victor’s…‘ Serena thought as her eyes turned cold. Victor had nothing to do with her anymore, but she still had the right to know the truth.

They got to the police station quickly, where Luther was handcuffed to a chair. He looked completely clueless about what he’d done wrong, and when he saw Serena, he shot her a vicious glare.

“Don’t worry, Ms. Gray,” the female officer said, glaring back at Luther. “This is a police station. Watch your attitude and stop trying to intimidate the

victim!”

Serena smiled at the officer to show she was fine, then sat down across from Luther.

“Mr. Foster, I hope you understand that honesty will get you a lighter sentence,” Serena said calmly, though her voice carried an unmistakable weight. “You abducted me, which means prison time. If I decide to press full charges, this won’t just go away.”

Luther’s eyes went wide with shock. “I didn’t actually do anything to you. Why should I go to jail for this?”

“Attempted assault is still a crime that carries a sentence

”

Serena said calmly. The police officer nearby didn’t contradict her.
