Mr Ceo's Pregnant Ex-wife

Chapter 140 - MOMENT WITH VIEN

"Vince, Ace's step-brother, tried to kidnap me. I was so lucky that I managed to jump out of the car before he could do anything to me." I told Madam Stella.

Shivers run down my spine as the memory plays on my thoughts. I still couldn't believe I managed to escape Vince's clutches unscathed.

I wonder what could have happened to me if Lady Ravenwood didn't arrive on time and Vince took me away inside the car.

I wonder if Vince planned to kill me or merely wanted me to be the hostage so he could get what he wanted.

"I was so glad that someone helped you!" Madam Stella exclaimed, tearing through my trail of thoughts.

I was glad too…. I couldn't express how grateful I am that I survived this day. I thought I was going to die.

"I don't know how I'm going to tell your father if you're harmed!" She let go a deep, exasperated sigh. "You made us all worried when you didn't return after going to the grocery store!" Madam Stella continued in her high-pitched tone. I have to move the wireless telephone away from my ears to protect my eardrum.

Now that Madam Stell mentioned father, I was reminded that I needed to talk to him. There were so many things I needed to discuss with him and that includes Vince and how he tried to kill me and Ace.

Once I told father about it, he would be angry that I didn't tell him right away. He would surely fly to Brittania in a fortnight and hire a dozen bodyguards to watch over me.That's exactly what my father is going to do.

I sighed and decided I would call him early in the morning. I have the whole night to summon all the courage I could muster to do it.

"Lady Ravenwood is right, Beatrix. Just stay for the night there. It would be too dangerous if you insist on coming home at this hour. We never know what Ace's brother has in mind. I want you to be safe."

I could imagine Madam Stella pacing back and forth inside her office with a worried look on her face. I was so sorry that I caused her so much trouble today. I sighed and waited for her ro finish her sermon before I grabbed the chance to speak.

"I feel bad for not being with Faith tonight but Lady Ravenwood and you are right. I couldn't come home at this hour. That's why I decided to just return home first thing in the morning. For now, I will spend the night here in the Claymore Mansion."

"Good girl. You take care. I will pass the phone to Elisa. She was eager to talk to you."

There was a moment of silence on the opposite line. Then I heard hurried footsteps in the background and seconds later I heard Elisa's worried voice asking if I was alright.

I told her I was fine and fortunately I have no life-threatening injury. I also told her

what the exact details I told Madam Stella.

Elisa was silent as she listened to my story. If I could see her expression now I know that there's a deep frown on her forehead.

I told her everything that I could recall except the part that Lady Ravenwood was actually Ace's mother. I would tell her some other time. I couldn't explain everything while on the phone.

As expected, my best friend was worried.

"Vince seriously needed to be locked up inside a mental institution. His actions were exactly the perfect definition of a man suffering from a mental illness. I just hope the police would immediately capture him. He would not stop unless he kills you or Ace." Elisa said between gritted teeth.

"The police are already working on it. There's a tracking device attached to the car so it would not be long before they find him."

When the call was over and Elisa assured me that my little angel was already peacefully asleep in her bed I turned the phone off.

I let go a deep sigh of relief and returned the telephone on top of the night table.

Smiling, I headed to the bed where Vien was asleep and snuggled close to her.

As I lay beside my daughter, my thoughts drifted back to Ace. The smile on my lips faded. The worry I felt earlier returned. This time it was greater than the last time. action

I just hope wherever he is now, he's safe.

I pray that Vince didn't do something terrible to his step brother. Because if he did hurt Ace, I will hunt him even to the deepest, darkest part of hell to get my revenge.

Vince?would be wrong to think that I will never do anything to stop him. He was wrong.

He faked Vien's death. He tried to kill me and Ace. It was enough for the last straw. I couldn't bear to watch him destroy my family without doing anything.

I couldn't bear to watch my loved ones suffer. I must do something to protect them.

I stared at the little angel beside me and my eyes began to water.?I couldn't believe that my daughter was alive. This moment is one of the best things that happened to me.

My eyelids grow heavy. Before I even knew it, I fell asleep with Vien in my arms.

It was six in the morning when I woke up. The first thing to greet my view was Vien's angelic face. I blinked my eyes several times just to make sure I'm not dreaming.

Her eyes fluttered open. "Mama…" She said softly. Her cherry lips stretched into a smile.

This is real! This is not just a dream.

"Good morning Vien."?I pulled her into my arms and hugged her tight. She hugged me back with equal warmth.

I kissed her on the temples before letting her go. "Today we will be seeing your baby sister Faith! She looks so much like you Vien and I'm sure you will love her…"

"B-baby… sister?"

"Yes! Faith is your younger sister! We will go to Madam Stella's Estate so you will be able to see her."

Vien's face lit up. Her eyes widened and her eyebrows shot to the ceiling. This is the first?time I saw her face this bright. She looked so happy and excited at the same time.

I got up from the bed and lifted her up until her toes touched the floor.

"Shall we prepare now? Mama is excited to see your baby sister."

Vien eagerly nodded her head. Her lips curled into a gentle smile. She excitedly pulled me to the bathroom and I followed behind her, chuckling.
