Divorce to Destiny: Reclaiming My CEO Husband by Anney GW

My CEO 288

288 Rescue or Trap? (Winona)

The voices outside get louder, someone's prying the vin door open. I glance at Cass; she's barely conscious, leaning against the van wall. Her head is still bleeding through the makeshift bandage 1 wrapped around her forehead, Sweat beads down her face, and her breathing is shallow.

She needs some proper medical attention.

I can't tell if the people outside are friends or foe. Gus told me to look for the symbol, but there's been nothing Nexus Global team Gus mentioned.

D far. Nothing on the guy in here with us, and nothing indicating these voices belong to the

Who are they? Cartel? Or Gus's team?

I clutch the large semi-automatic rifle tighter in my hand. If it's Nexus Global, we're safe. But if it's not...

Hang on, Cass," I whisper, brushing some of her damp hair out of her face. Her eyes flicker open for a moment. "Stay with me."

She nods.

The sound of metal groaning as the door is wrenched open makes my breath catch in my throat. I freeze, waiting for the door to fully open, ready to react.

The door swings wide, and in the dim light, I see two men standing there. I aim my gun at them, and they have rifles trained in on us. Their eyes scanning the interior of the van before landing on me and Cass. "Who the hell are you?" I demand, trying to keep my voice steady, my fingers tight on the gun.

One of the men steps forward. "We're here to get you out," he says, his voice low but authoritative. He raises his hands slightly, showing he's not reaching for his weapon.

"Why do you have weapons pointed at us?"
