Between Ruin And Resolve: My Ex-Husband’s Regret

Chapter 1111:

“You brought this on yourself,” Sadie said. “This is simply the price you need to pay.”

Farrell threw his head back, his wild eyes shining with unshed tears, and let out a loud, maniacal laugh. “Decades of grinding away—pulling all-nighters, giving up everything—just to make it into a top-tier private hospital like Ultracare! And now, it’s all gone down the drain… You ruined everything, you spiteful, vindictive bitch!”

He looked like a man possessed, all too ready to tear the room apart with his bare hands.

Sadie felt a chill spread through her chest.

She quickly scanned the room, but the living room was bare. There was nothing she could grab and use to defend herself.

Gritting her teeth, she said, “Farrell, it’s not too late to turn this around. Listen—I can help you work in another field. If you want, I can even give you the money you need to start over. Think about it.” It was the only thing she could think of to stall him.

Farrell paused, and she thought his resolve was wavering.

But then he let out another laugh, this one louder and more unhinged than the last.

“Start over?” he spat out, as if it was the most ridiculous thing he had ever heard. “Who do you think you are, Sadie? Some kind of saint? I’m telling you right here, right now—it’s over. It’s all over, and it’s all your fault.”

After saying that, Farrell raised the dagger again. But before he could strike, they heard sirens blaring in the air.

Sadie’s entire body went slack with relief. Thank God! The police had come just in time.

Farrell froze, his eyes growing wide with alarm. How had they gotten here so fast?

His head swiveled, his panicked eyes darting in every direction. The sound of sirens was echoing from all sides. There was no way out.

The realization must have sparked something inside him because he suddenly lunged at Sadie and grabbed her by the arm.

She only had a second to register the murderous intent on his face before she felt the cold steel of the blade pressing against her neck.

“If you want to stay alive, then you’d better do exactly what I say. Now move!”

Sadie was scared out of her mind as it was, not to mention the fact that she was pregnant. She had no strength left to fight.

Farrell had yanked her up so abruptly that it left her feeling dizzy. She would have fallen flat on her face if it weren’t for the deathly grip he had on her. At that point, the team of armed officers had already surrounded the house. Their weapons were drawn as they stormed inside in unison.

But they all stopped in their tracks at the sight that greeted them—a hostage situation.noveldrama

The lead officer’s face tightened. They had arrived a second too late.

Farrell’s crazed eyes flashed as he screamed, “Back off! If you want her alive, get me a car with a full tank and ten million dollars in cash. Now! Try anything, and she’s dead meat! She will be released once I get my money and I’m safely out of the city!”

The officers shifted on their feet and glanced at each other with trepidation. They were stuck between a rock and a hard place.
