After Divorce, I Married The CEO のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 171 - チャプター 180

CHAPTER 172Four days and there had been no word from either Xavier or Mann, no newspapers to tell him what was going on outside, and they were running out of food. And he still haven't received a cheque from the weekly profit as usual. Marcus was totally losing it.He paced from one end of the house to another.“That fucker!” He said through his teeth, imagining Xavier amassing all the money to himself. He reasoned that Xavier had probably withdrawn himself from situation and had left him and Jane there to die of starvation. And probably enjoying all the money and profit from their illegal business. The thought of that sickened him. Xavier had probably come to his wits end and had decided to keep his slate clean.But Marcus was not one known to easily let go.He knew he was eventually going to go down, and he would stop at nothing to bring others involved down with him.“You'll be a dead man if you step out of that door,” Jane said weakly as she watched him put on his camouflage.

CHAPTER 174Minutes after Marcus revealed all he knew, dozens of patrol cars as well as two helicopters were despatched to the location Marcus had given.One of the helicopter pilots sighted the house from above and the officers, including Caleb quickly moved towards it.They kicked the door of the building down without hesitation and as Caleb ran in, his gaze immediately fell on Jane's weak body sprawled on the bare floor. Caleb rushed to her and wrapped his arms around her. This time, he did not hold back his tears.Her body and clothes were covered in dirt, some parts of her body was swollen and there were a few cuts in different places, but still she didn't lose her beauty.Jane muttered something with her eyes half closed.“I'm here, baby, I'm here. You're gonna be okay. It's all over, you'll be fine,” Caleb didn't mind that some droplets of his tears fell on her face, all he knew was that he had finally found her and he was never going to let go ever again.Some medical attenda

Chapter 176Marcus Dreame was popularly known as “the beast" in the prison. And unlike Xavier, he had become heftier and much more muscular. Because of his heavy build and unkempt look, he earned himself the name. One could not even believe that such a man was once a very successful and influential business man just a few years back. Everything and everyone annoyed him, but the one person he still wished to kill everyday was Xavier, and currently, he could see him walk into the dining hall looking left and right quickly with caution and Marcus smiled.It meant Xavier was on the look out for him, and Marcus loved that dread Xavier had developed towards him.He waited for Xavier to settle down with his food on an empty table as usual before walking up to him from behind.“My good old friend!" He said loudly, clapping Xavier on the shoulder as he carelessly lowered himself to a chair beside him.Xavier flinched a little but quickly calmed himself. He hated the hold Marcus had over him an

Chapter 178The Lockwoods had just finished their meals and while Rose was seated with the twins in the living room, playing with pieces of building blocks, Caleb, Jane and Lilian chatted.The doorbell suddenly rang and Lilian stood.“It's about time!" “Another surprise?” Caleb asked her with a raised brow but Lilian simply winked in response.“Delivery for Lilian Lockwood," the delivery man wearing a face cap and mask said when Lilian opened the door.“You got that right. And I'm supposing there's a discount for late delivery?”"Unfortunately there is none, ma'am, but we deeply apologize for the waste of time,” the delivery man replied and took out a small book. Shaking her head, Lilian took the pen and signed on the package. She noticed the delivery man peeping into the house but thought nothing of it. It was not the first time such people were eager to see the interior of the magnificent building anyway so it was nothing to worry about.“That will be all," she said and took the b

Chapter 180Caleb had his back facing the door when Jane walked back into the bedroom from the kitchen.He was looking down at something on his phone and was almost fully dressed for the office while she was still in her nightwear and she could not help but stop by the door and admire his attractive physique without his knowledge.More than six years of marriage and she still couldn't get over how breathtaking he looked.Stealthily, she walked towards him and wrapped her arms around his waist in a bid to surprise him but he flinched instead in shock rather than surprise but quickly got hold of himself and chuckled lightly. Jane did not fail to notice that he quickly turned his phone screen off before turning to hold her and she found the movement suspicious. It was the second time she noticed such action from him. The first was when she just got out of the shower and noticed he was extremely focused typing something on his phone but when she got into bed, he immediately turned his ph
