Ex-Husband’s Regret by Evelyn M.M

51. Betrayed

I stare. My heart beating erratically and my mind racing. How the hell did I get here? How the hell

did I not see this coming?

I was frozen. Mortified. Unable to utter a fucking word. My world was crumbling down around me.

Shattering into pieces.

‘Boss‘

That one word kept playing in my head. Driving me to the brink of madness then back. All this time. Wondering. Guessing. Searching. My enemy was right under my fucking nose.

I turn behind me, only to be shocked

Letty was tied to a chair. She looked afraid and pissed off at the same time. She was bleeding from her head. I guess the bastard that kidnapped us hit her on the head too.

I had been so occupied with my fears of dying and trying to get out of this situation that I didn’t notice that she was here. In my defence, she was behind me. I didn’t expect anyone behind me.

“Isn’t it obvious? I kidnapped both of you” our kidnapper says.

“Why would you kidnap her when I’m the one you wanted?” I ask looking down.

“It wasn’t in the plan, but then I saw her outside breathing the fresh air. She is related to your family and I knew I could fetch more money if I keep her for ransom” he explains with a shrug.

It kind of made sense. She was Travis‘ girlfriend and from what I know he’s madly in love with

her. He would do anything to get her back including paying the ransom money.

“I don’t get it” Letty begins. “Then what is Ethan doing here? Is he here to rescue us?” She asks
