Mr Ceo's Pregnant Ex-wife

Three days later.

I took a deep breath and strode inside the study, clutching the DNA result which arrived from the lab this morning.

What I have to say to Lucas would change everything.

As I approached him, I noticed a furrowed brow and a slight hunch in his posture. He was completely engrossed in the papers scattered across his desk, and seemed oblivious to my presence. It was as if the world around him had faded away, leaving only the task at hand to capture his attention.

I didn't want to interrupt him, but what I have to say can't wait."

"Lucas."

With a lift of his gaze, he met my eyes. His frown, which had been etched on his face just a moment prior, vanished in an instant.noveldrama

"Is there anything you need?" he inquired, rising from his chair and striding purposefully in my direction.

I shook my head and handed him the envelope which I had already read.

"A DNA result?" His frown returned and he unfolded the paper. As he finished reading, a look of indescribable shock washed over his face and he turned to me, clearly taken aback.

"Blackstone's wife, and my Dna are a perfect match which means we finally found my twin. I'm not sure how she managed to completely change her identity, but whether it was luck or fate, I had a hunch that she was hiding something, and as it turned out, I was right.

His eyes widened in surprise. "I never would have guessed it was Alexandria. She looks like a completely different woman now. I can only imagine how much it must have cost her to have her face redone."

"At first, I didn't realize it, but even her subtle mannerisms remind me of Alexandria. Although she changed her appearance, her eyes and even her smallest movements still give her away."

Lucas looked like he was about to say something, but he stopped. He took a deep breath and looked at me. "I don't want you to get involved with her."

"I could be used as a lure to take her down."

"Absolutely not," Lucas snapped. "I can't bear the thought of putting your life in danger once more. You've had too many close calls before, and I refuse to let you come anywhere near her again."

While I understand Lucas's concern about me, I feel like he's overreacting a bit. I want to convince him that I can be of help in catching my twin. However, the grave look in his eyes gave me pause. It was clear that he had made up his mind, and I knew that trying to change it would be a losing battle.

I understand Lucas was concerned but he's overreacting. I want to convince him that I can help with catching Alexandria. However, the grave look in his eyes stopped me. I knew it was a losing battle when I saw one.

"Okay, I won't interfere with your plans, but could you please promise me that you'll take care of yourself? I don't want to worry too much."

His lips curve into a reassuring smile as he raises his hand in the air. "Of course, I promise to be safe."

Lucas had settled back into his seat when Bella left the study. He fell into a deep thought, planning how he would finally settle the problem with Alexandria.

He had been quietly amassing evidence against Alexandria, including statements of her accounts that revealed her embezzlement of company funds.

Additionally, he had sought out witnesses who could attest to her treacherous deeds, ready to bring them forward if necessary. It was a dangerous game, but he knew he had to act before she inflicted any more harm.

Despite knowing that everything might not go as planned, he couldn't afford to wait any longer. He was aware that Alexandria could strike at any moment, and he had to take the initiative to stop her from creating chaos. It was a risk he had to take, but he was determined to stop her.

He will present Alexandria with two options: either surrender herself to the authorities and face the consequences of her actions, or risk being confined to a mental asylum for the rest of her days, with no hope of release. It was a grim choice, to be sure, but one that she would have to make nonetheless.

"Hello?"

"Hi, it's me," Lucas replied, pressing the phone to his ear. "I hope I'm not interrupting anything important."

"It's been a while Lucas." His officer friend replied "No, not at all. I was just finishing up some work. How are you?"

"I'm good, thanks. Listen, I needed your help. We'll be visiting Blackstone's mansion tonight to arrest his wife. She'd been involved in various crimes. I already filed a case against her, even though I have the warrant of arrest. However, since she changed her identity and appearance it might be complicated."

"Your timing is perfect, Lucas. We are actually raiding Blackstone's mansion tonight. He's involved in drugs and illegal firearms and we'll arrest him tonight."

"Great."

He hung up the phone and sighed, feeling his heart skitter in suspense. He couldn't wait for what would happen tonight.

I couldn't sleep.

Lucas just left for an important mission, tripling my restlessness.

I had this ominous feeling in my chest telling me that something bad will happen soon and I don't like it.

Sighing, I got up from the bed, thirsty and made a quick trip to the kitchen.

I poured myself a glass of water and finished it in one dunk.

Returning to my bedroom, the blast of cold wind hit my face.

Didn't I close the door to the balcony?

Shrugging, there's too many things in my mind. Maybe I forgot to close it.

"Don't make a sound or I'll kill you."

The tip of the knife glazed my skin.

A choked whimper escaped my lips. Why is Alexandria here? Lucas, accompanied by authorities, are on their way to arrest her and Blackstone.

Since she's here, could it be that she plotted this so she could corner me when I'm alone?

The house has ten guards. How can she sneak into my room?
