Divorced and Pregnant My New Life with a Billionaire Drives My Ex Crazy novel Chapter 659

Drake folded his arms and gave a confident smile. “Relax. No matter what Louisa’s up to, she’s not slipping out of our hands.”

He barely finished speaking when Nikolai’s phone buzzed. He glanced down. Mr. Sullivan?

Wiona wandered into the courtyard, taking in her surroundings. The place felt cold and abandoned, like it hadn’t seen a soul in years. She eyed Louisa’s back and called out, already suspecting the answer. “You’re not messing with me, right? This doesn’t look like somewhere my dad would come to.”

“Louisa, can I even trust you?”

Louisa answered by unlocking the door with her key. She gripped the handle, looked back at Wiona and shrugged. “Trust me or don’t. Your call.”

Then she walked right in.

Wiona’s lips curled in a slight, amused smirk as she followed her inside.

Louisa didn’t waste time. She headed straight for the basement. Wiona waved away the dust in the air and slipped on a mask she’d brought. Only then did she start down the stairs.

The basement was nothing special. Just a regular room, a little musty and dim.

Louisa walked behind the sofa, pressed a button on the glass partition and a door slid open with a mechanical whir. She turned and suddenly aimed something dark at Wiona.

“It’s only an air gun, but trust me, it’ll still hurt you.”

Wiona’s face went cold as she stared at the weapon. “Louisa, do you even know what you’re doing?”

“Even if it’s an air gun, having one is still illegal.”

Wiona had seen a gun before. Last time was at the Sullivan family’s cemetery. Devin’s guys had all been armed. He was deep in the criminal world, so it made sense. But Louisa? Was she crazy?

Louisa’s eyes narrowed, her voice sharp. “Save it.”

“What makes you think you can judge me?”

“You want to find out if it’s real?”

Her finger curled around the trigger. Wiona lifted her hands quickly, not about to test her luck.

“No, I’m good. Just tell me what you want. I’ll do it.”

“Louisa, don’t cross a line you can’t come back from.”

Louisa just laughed, cold and bitter. “You really think you get to lecture me?”

“Take out your phone. Toss it in the trash.”

“Now. Come here.”

Through the glass wall, Wiona saw the garage. So Louisa really was planning an escape. Wiona did what she was told, tossing her phone away before following Louisa into the garage and sliding into the passenger seat of a sleek sports car.

Louisa locked the doors right away. She shoved the gun back inside her jacket and shot Wiona a glare. “You better behave, or we both go down.”

Wiona held up her hands in mock surrender. “I believe you. Anyone who gets their hands on a gun is capable of anything.”
