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

Chapter 39- An accident

Aaron was inspecting one of the company’s projects when he received a call from Josh.

For some reason, his heart began to race erratically and a sense of unease settled in his stomach.

He picked up the call, swallowing the lump that had suddenly lodged itself in his throat.

“Hello”

“Sir, I’m sorry. There’s been an accident at the mall-

Aaron’s heart leaped to his throat. His eyes widened as he questioned before Josh could finish his

sentence.

“What accident? Is Tessa ok?”

He didn’t like the way Josh sounded on the phone. It was as if he was about to deliver bad news.

The first thing that came to Aaron’s mind was that something had happened to Tessa and that thought made his stomach twist with nerves.

“Miss Hilton is trapped inside the building, sir. The left side of the mall has collapsed, trapping Miss Hilton and Peter in it,” Josh reported gingerly.

Aaron’s heart dropped to his feet. For a moment, the world stopped spinning as he processed Josh’s words. Intense fear crept into him and he ordered, “Search for her! I’m coming!”

“We are trying to search for her, Sir! We can’t locate her and the pillars keep falling the more we try to move the blocks. We are worried we might crush her inside. We are waiting for the rescue

team to arrive.”

Aaron’s heart sank into the pits of his stomach. He felt sick as he rushed to his car and sped in the direction of the mall. His heart was beating so fast that he thought it would burst out of his chest.

‘Please be ok, my love,’ he muttered under his breath.

Enock followed Aaron in another car and began to make calls for an ambulance and an express

rescue team.

Aaron broke a lot of traffic rules until he reached the mall in thirty minutes for a drive that would normally take an hour. His stomach turned when he saw the state of the mall.

A lot of people were a few meters away from the collapsing building. They were taking pictures and videos of it as if it was a tourist attraction instead of helping out. Anger surged through Aaron

like a tidal wave.

He glared at the crowd and yelled, “Are you being serious right now? There are two people trapped in the building and instead of looking for ways to rescue them, you’re here taking videos to post on

social media. Leave this place if you’re not here to help!”

The police were standing outside as well, afraid to go in.

Aaron made to rush in but he was held back by one of the policemen. The police officer didn’t even look at who he was stopping and said, “You can’t go inside. The walls are fragile and can collapse completely anytime soon! There are already some foolish people who rushed in to save.
