Divorced and Pregnant My New Life with a Billionaire Drives My Ex Crazy novel Chapter 245

Wiona could sense someone approaching. She slipped the thin, sharp stone she’d been gripping all afternoon deeper into her sleeve, her heart pounding as the footsteps got closer. When the figure came into view, both she and Grandma Grace stared in disbelief.

Jace? No way. What was he doing here?

“Jace!” Grandma Grace’s eyes were wide, her voice shaking with shock. She looked like she couldn’t process seeing her own grandson dragged in like this.

Jace was just as thrown. “Grandma? Wiona? Why are you here?”

Before he could get another word out, someone snapped at him. “Move it!”

Jace, dressed in a suit that looked completely out of place here, was shoved so hard he almost lost his balance. He glared at the men in black, his jaw clenched. “You have no idea who you’re messing with.”

The men just laughed. One of them grabbed his collar, sneering. “Mr. Salisbury, you think you’re still some big shot CEO? Now that you’re here, your life belongs to us. You’re not worth a thing. We’re not scared of you. Get over there!”

Another shove sent Jace stumbling into a separate corner. “Stay away from them,” one of the men growled, then walked off.

Jace finally had a chance to look at Wiona and Grandma Grace. “Are you two okay? Did they hurt you? Are these the same people who took me? Do you have any idea what they want?”

He looked Wiona up and down, worry clear on his face, then glanced at Grandma Grace. He seemed surprised to see her actually looking better than she had in the hospital.

Wiona was even more confused than him. What was happening? Why was Jace here? If her guess was right, this was all Sam and Alona’s doing. Alona wanted Grandma Grace for whatever secrets or valuables she had. And Jace? He’d always been in on it with his mother. They had the same goal. There was no way he should have ended up a prisoner too. Unless something had gone wrong… or maybe she’d guessed everything wrong. Or was this just another one of Jace’s performances?

“Jace, did they hurt you?” Grandma Grace asked, her voice trembling. “You always have bodyguards. How did these people even get close to you? These animals… laying hands on you, too. They’re doing this just to kill me…”

“They won’t let you die until they get what they want,” Wiona said quietly. “Honestly, I think things are about to get a lot worse.”
