To Be Yours Again novel (Alec and Jenny) novel Chapter 72

Chapter 72 Call The Police Then

The call with Gilbert lasted for an hour, during which the fate of the Lawrences was discussed and sealed. After Gilbert told Jenny that he’d be back in town the next morning, Jenny wrapped up the conversation with satisfaction.

“The Lawrences…” she mumbled and added, “How should I deal with Faye now that I’ve gotten rid of them?”

She gave it some thought and said to herself, “Never mind. I’ll leave it to the police. I guess spending the rest of her life behind bars is not too bad of an idea.”

At that moment, her thoughts were interrupted by the ringing doorbell. Dressed in pajamas, she went to open the door, but her expression soured when she found Alec standing in front of her.

She wanted to shut the door in his face, but he was faster, putting himself between her and the closing door. Then, he marched into her place.

“Alec Faust, trespassing is a crime,” she reminded him through gritted teeth, badly wanting to throw him out. To her dismay, he did not look threatened and instead calmly said, “Call the police then.”

She took a deep breath as she battled the raw and uncontrollable urge to beat him up.

“Believe it or not, I didn’t know about the abduction,” he explained, staring into her eyes sincerely.

She held back her anger, sitting on the sofa and leaning to her side. “Oh, I believe you. You have no good reason to want me abducted anyway.”

Humans always acted with intent. Jenny knew Faye had a solid reason to want her abducted, as Faye suspected she was romantically involved with Alec. But the possibility of Alec wanting her abducted was close to nil.

He let out a relieved sigh when she said she believed him. “Thank you.”

“Don’t get ahead of yourself. We’re destined to be enemies.” She chuckled, her eyes gleaming with a dangerous look. She said they were enemies because she was sure Alec would protect Faye.
