Unveiled: The Survivor's Triumph
Chapter 175
Chapter 175 Everyone Around Me Is Gone
After Zachary handled that big chunk of cash, I had my doubts. But man, I never thought the truth would be this wild.
Leonard showed me an online wanted poster. Turns out, all of Zachary's money came from deals that were always skirting the edge of the law, like walking a tightrope.
Leonard sighed. "I've noticed lately that Zachary's been really good to Bella. If I knew he was fixing my problems this way, I'd rather go to jail myself. I'm just an old guy with nothing much to lose." This time, two of Zachary's guys got nabbed first.
The day before they got caught, Zachary must've sensed something was up, so he took Bella and bolted from Starlight City.
Even though those guys usually respected Zachary and seemed super loyal, there was no guarantee they'd keep quiet under pressure.
Sure enough, that night, the cops put out a wanted notice.
After Leonard told me all this, I just sat there, stunned, not wanting to believe it.
Why was it that every time happiness seemed within reach, reality smacked us down?
Thinking about Bella now, pregnant and on the run, not knowing where she and Zachary were hiding, broke my heart.
Back home, I plopped on the couch, still in a daze.
I really wished this was just a bad dream. That I'd wake up and none of this had happened, that they had just gone on a trip. Soon, she'd come back, give me a big hug, and excitedly tell me about their adventures. But deep down, I knew that was impossible.
I was torn. The more I wanted to see her again, the more I hoped she'd go far away.
Never come back!
In the evening, Ethan came home.
He sat next to me, stroking my hair, and asked, "What's up? Why are you sitting here all zoned out?"
I grabbed his hand. "What are we gonna do?"
"What do you mean?" He looked confused.
I pulled out the wanted notice and showed it to him.
"We don't know where Bella and Zachary are now. If Zachary gets caught, what'll happen to Bella? She's still pregnant."
Ethan said calmly, "He broke the law, so he'll face the consequences. No one gets a free pass."
I was a bit stunned and suddenly felt calmer, looking at him. "You're not shocked by this at all? Why are you so calm? Did you know something beforehand?"
Ethan stayed cool. "When have you ever seen me not calm? Except when it comes to you, I'm always calm."
Ethan had a point.
I lowered my head sadly, my heart aching for Bella.
"Alright, don't overthink it. Let's go out for dinner." Ethan patted my shoulder.
We grabbed a quick bite to eat and then Ethan drove us to a bar.
