The CEO’s Betrayal: My Ex-lover Has Triplets

Chapter 32 Not all days are Sundays

“Protect the family!” Inspector Michael instructed immediately and all police officers surrounded the family of five, taking out their shields to protect them.

The gunshots were so sudden that they had no idea where the shooter was.

Tessa’s eyes were almost popping out of their sockets. She was frozen on the spot and her mouth was on the ground as she stared at the three bodies of the kidnappers lying in a pool of blood.

They had been shot in the foreheads by a sniper! Had they been thrown under the bus by their leader? Tessa could only wonder.

This was clearly a move to shut them up. Whoever did this didn’t want them to disclose his name or his filthy secrets. But there was nothing hidden under the sun.

“W-what just happened?” Tessa’s lips trembled as she asked gingerly.

She could still hear the continuous ringing in her ears from the loud sound and her heart had jumped to her throat.

“It’s ok, Tessa. Do not be afraid. I’m with you. There’s someone with a gun out there and we need to

leave this place at once,” Aaron said.

It was only when Tessa heard Aaron’s voice that her heart began to reduce its erratic speed. She noticed how his presence made her feel relieved, otherwise, she would have still been scared

the driver’s seat.

“The military is already after the sniper. They will catch him soon. He must be the mastermind behind the kidnapping and the human trafficking. There are a lot of women and men in that container.” The officer stated as he started the car and sped off.

Tessa held Willa to her chest and felt relieved that they had found the kids. When she thought

about how they were almost shipped off to God knows where. She felt like a thousand ants were crawling inside her skin, eating her from the inside out.

Her brows furrowed as she thought about it. Who could have tried to do something as evil as

human trafficking?

No matter how much she wracked her brain, she couldn’t come up with a name for the potential

mastermind.

All the people she knew were kind and righteous.

No one was capable of performing such atrocious acts. Or so she thought.
