CEO's Tears Over Pregnancy Test Discovery novel Chapter 1849

“Wilfred, hold her tight!” Karina shouted, seizing the moment as Wilfred wrestled the girl under control.

Ignoring the discomfort of her gasoline-soaked clothes clinging to her skin, Karina bolted toward the water truck parked by the roadside.

The girl, realizing what was happening, thrashed desperately in Wilfred’s unrelenting grip, her voice raw and piercing as she screamed, “Don’t even think about escaping! None of you are getting out of this unscathed!”

Veins bulged on Wilfred’s forehead as he tightened his hold, his voice a thunderous roar. “Calm down now!”

Meanwhile, Karina had already reached the water truck by now, scrambling up into the driver’s seat with both hands and feet in her haste.

The door slammed shut with a loud clang that echoed sharply through the still night.

She climbed in with urgency, her hands trembling as she fumbled to start the vehicle. Her eyes scanned the unfamiliar dashboard, taking in the array of buttons and levers.

Sweat mixed with the gasoline on her forehead, stinging her eyes. She blinked rapidly, her fingers slipping as she fought to find the ignition.

Suddenly, a rough cough broke the silence inside the cab. Karina whipped around, startled, to see the driver in the back seat, roused from his nap by the commotion.

The man blinked groggily, confused by the scene unfolding around him. Karina didn’t wait for an explanation, her voice rising in desperation. “Sir, please help! There’s a fire behind us! If we don’t start the water truck now, everyone’s in serious danger!”

The urgency in her voice jolted the driver awake instantly. He leaned forward, his eyes darting past Karina to the chaos outside.

Through the window, he spotted the girl thrashing wildly in Wilfred’s grip. Nearby, a small flame had ignited in a gasoline puddle, its edges already crawling and spreading rapidly toward them.

Thick smoke began to rise, choking the air.

The driver, now with a moment to process, turned to Karina, his face filled with shock and disbelief. “Miss, what in the world just happened?”

Karina started to reply, but the distant sound of police sirens pierced through the night, growing louder and closer with each passing second.

Moments later, a patrol car pulled up and came to a steady stop beside them. The officers moved swiftly, taking control of the scene with calm efficiency. The girl was handcuffed and escorted into the back of the patrol car, her cries fading as the doors closed.

A female officer approached Karina, draping a blanket gently over her shoulders. Her tone was soft but steady. “It’s okay, we’ll handle this from here. Please come with us to the station to give a statement, but take a moment to catch your breath first.”

Turning to the driver, she added, “Sir, we’ll need you to come along as well to assist with the investigation.”

As they climbed into the police car, Karina and Wilfred sat close together, their hands tightly clasped.
