Between Ruin And Resolve: My Ex-Husband’s Regret

Chapter 109

Chapter 109:

Inside, Sadie was just about to dial Alex’s number when the sudden noise of the door made her start. Her fingers fumbled, and she quickly shoved her phone under the quilt.

As she looked up, her gaze met Kyla’s, who stood framed in the doorway, her expression unreadable yet undeniably stern.

Sensing Sadie’s flustered demeanor, Kyla marched over, her steps echoing with authority.

“What are you hiding?” she demanded, her voice slicing through the tense air, bristling with suspicion. “You’re acting way too suspicious!” She reached forward, her hands grasping at the quilt.

Sadie blanched, her face draining of color as panic flared in her eyes.

The discovery of the phone would shatter her carefully laid plans.

Desperate, she shoved Kyla back, yelling, “Stop acting crazy!”

Her push was gentle, hardly more than a nudge, but Kyla, already weakened by the intense night before, stumbled. Her legs gave way, and she crumpled to the floor, her clothing twisting and bunching up around her limbs.
