Divorced and Pregnant My New Life with a Billionaire Drives My Ex Crazy novel Chapter 71

Kellen felt like she was about to lose it. She pressed her hands to her head, struggling to believe what she’d just seen. “This can’t be happening… It’s not real…”

Wiona’s face twisted in pain as she looked up at Jace. Her eyes pleaded for help, full of fear and exhaustion. All the strength she’d managed to hold onto these past few days suddenly seemed to vanish. She reached out with a trembling, blood-smeared hand.

“Jace, she tried to kill our babies…”

“Why? Is it just because I wouldn’t get out of the way?”

“The babies haven’t done anything wrong…”

“Jace… please… save our babies. I can’t lose them…”

Wiona’s desperate cries sent Jace into a panic. He hurried to her side, pulling her into his arms and clutching her hand. He turned to Kellen, his eyes burning with hurt and confusion.

“Kellen, why would you do this?”

Kellen stared back, completely shattered. “You don’t believe me either?”

Jace’s voice was sharp. “Everyone saw what happened. You attacked Wiona.”

Everything inside Kellen started to unravel. If even Jace didn’t trust her, who would? She shook her head over and over, her voice breaking. “No, that’s not… it’s not what you think…”

“Jace, you know me. I could never… It’s just…”

“The babies… actually…”

“It wasn’t me. I swear it wasn’t me!”

She couldn’t bring herself to tell the truth, that the babies inside Wiona was actually her own flesh and blood. There was no way she’d ever hurt her. But everyone had seen her holding that stick, ready to strike. No one would believe a word she said.

For the first time, Kellen understood what it felt like to have no way to defend herself, to be completely misunderstood.
