Divorce Me Before Death Takes Me, CEO novel Chapter 266

Chapter 266

Audrey’s POV

Blake kept me pinned against the wall, looking down with a cold smirk. “Where do you think you’re going, hmm?”

“Now everyone believes you’re dead. Even my grandfather is urging me to hold your funeral. Where exactly are you planning to

hide?”

I clutched Snow tighter but didn’t respond.

“You think Astrid can hide you?” His eyes narrowed as he studied my face.

When I remained silent, his gaze intensified. “Do you have any idea what will happen if people discover you’re still alive?”

Blake stared directly into my eyes. “After causing such chaos, even if Rachel and Felix weren’t injured, the Rose and Thompson

families won’t let this go.”

I felt myself freeze as reality hit me. I hadn’t thought this through.

Even if no one was hurt in the crash, once the Rose family discovers I’m alive, they’ll hold me accountable for taking Rachel. If I claim she died, I’d be responsible for her death. If I return her, they’d charge me with kidnapping.

And the Thompsons… Felix had been studying abroad for years. The patriarch of his family finally got him to return, and then because of me, he almost died. They wouldn’t just let that slide.

Blake noticed my expression change and his lips curved upward. “Finally realized how serious this is?”

Before I could answer, he suddenly bent down and lifted me into his arms. I gasped, one hand holding Snow while the other instinctively wrapped around his neck.

“Put me down!” I tried to wriggle free.

“So you can run off and eventually be found? Leading to what, exactly?” Blake’s voice remained steady. “Come with me. At least at my place, neither family would dare come looking.”

As I struggled, Blake’s injured hand pressed against my leg. The feeling of his bandage against my calf made me stop.

The image of Blake blocking Thalia’s knife flashed through my mind.

“Your hand…” I said quietly.

His injured hand paused slightly, then he gave a faint smile. “It’s fine. Thalia’s not that strong.”

Blake carried me downstairs and to his car. After placing me in the passenger seat, he got in and started the engine.

I watched his profile while petting Snow, my thoughts racing ahead of me.

I didn’t want his protection. New York is huge – I could find places to hide without him. But I know Blake too well. Once he decides something, my opinion means nothing. With our difference in strength and my condition worsening, I couldn’t fight him here.

For now, I’d play along and look for a chance to escape later.

I’m arranging 24-hour surveillance, Blake said while driving. “Don’t think you can slip away when I’m with Laurel or handling

business.”

I turned toward the window. “Planning to keep me locked up forever?”
