The Billionaire's Ex-Wife (Her Ex-Husband's Regret) novel Chapter 42

Cassie.

“I know you… you visited me in the hospital, didn’t you?”

“Awww… you aren’t supposed to remember that. I didn’t want to do this.”

“Remember this… don’t come looking for me… you never recognized me… and stay away from Kayden Steele.”

“Then I will leave you alone. You will be safe from me, so long as you promise to do the things I just said.”

Then… darkness.

I slowly open my eyes, scared of what I will find.

Was I kidnapped?

Was I raped? Molested?

Will I be able to go back to my son?

Oh God! I will only ask for my life for my son. Nothing else.

“There she is,” I hear a female’s voice say.

I find myself staring at a beautiful redhead. I recognize her as the woman who’s grinding her ass on Ethan.

‘What the hell? What is she doing here? Who is she?’

I sat up, but the redhead holds me by my shoulder, pushing me back to the couch.

“Easy there,” she says. “You’ll fall dizzy.”

“It’s okay, sweetheart,” I hear Ethan’s familiar voice say. “I’m here."

The redhead moves away and Ethan takes her place to sit in the chair beside mine.

“Where are we?”

“We are in Amber’s office. She owns this club,” Ethan replies.

No wonder she seems used to grinding her ass on the dance floor.

“Don’t let that fool you, though,” Amber says, with a frown on her face. “I’m also a licensed doctor.”

Oh! I would not have guessed that.

“What happened to me? I thought… I was kidnapped.”

“We wanted to know from you. I found you sleeping on couch seating outside the bar. What do you mean you thought you were kidnapped.”

“There was a man,” I reply. “I followed him out. And then he… drugged me, I fell dizzy.”

“Why would you follow him out?” Whether Ethan was jealous or angry, I am not sure from the tone of his voice.

“I thought… I thought I recognized him.”

“And?”

“I was right. He’s the guy who went into the my room in the hospital. He tried to kill me.”

Ethan turns to the Amber. “We’re gonna have to turnover the CCTV footages to the police. I want this guy caught.”

“I’ve already ordered my security team to take care of that.” Amber nods.

Ethan turns to me. “What else did he say?"

“And…”

Do I tell Ethan that the guy told me to stay away from Kayden?

“He told me to stop looking for him, and we’ll be good. He’ll leave me alone.”

“Son of a bitch!” Ethan curses. “He doesn’t get to ask that!

“Of course, he does! That’s what all potential kidnappers say. Don’t bring the police. Come alone. Come on, E, you should watch more TV.” Amber says rolling her eyes.

I cannot help but notice that Amber and Ethan seems close. How long have they known each other?

I feel something uneasy inside my chest. I cannot place it. I somehow feel that I am not going to be a fan of this woman.

“What time is it, anyway?”

“Eight AM,” Ethan replies.
