Divorced and Pregnant My New Life with a Billionaire Drives My Ex Crazy novel Chapter 542

“Sophie!” Annette’s voice rang out, sharp and furious. “Just shut up!” She was shaking, her eyes blazing with anger. All at once, she saw Sophie for who she really was. Thank God she hadn’t believed a single word Sophie had said earlier. If she had, it might have been Wiona in Devin’s hands right now.

Wiona squeezed Annette’s arm, her tone almost soothing. “It’s okay. Really. Looks like Devin and Sophie are just meant for each other. How else could they bump into each other again like this? We shouldn’t get in the way. Let’s give them some space.” With that, Wiona started pulling Annette back, step by step.

That’s when Sophie lost it. “No, you can’t leave! Don’t leave me here! Dad, Aunt Annette, how could you do this to me? Wiona, you evil bitch, you want them to abandon me with this psycho? Are you trying to get me killed? Come back! Come back!”

Go back? Only a fool would. Sophie had tried to set Wiona up so many times. Wiona wasn’t some kind of saint. She wasn’t going to play hero for her. And Mr. Clements? He was already outpacing everyone, practically running for his life.

Devin glanced at the terrified girl trapped in his arms. He lifted his bloodied hand and brushed a strand of hair from her face, almost gently. “What’s wrong? Feeling abandoned, little one? That’s too bad. I don’t think I can bring myself to kill you. You’re just like me, aren’t you? Tossed aside, left behind. But don’t worry… none of those cowards are getting away.” His voice was ice-cold.

With that, he shoved Sophie hard to the ground, then stood and sprinted after Wiona’s group, knife in hand. He moved like something out of a nightmare, relentless and wild. Wiona, struggling with her swollen belly, couldn’t even run. Mason had to turn around and face Devin head-on.

This time, Devin was even faster, even more vicious. Every attack was meant to kill. Mason was fighting for his life, using every bit of strength he had, but he was getting tired. Devin’s raw power shocked even Wiona.

By now, Annette and Molly had helped Wiona behind a tree. Annette fumbled for her phone, but there was still no signal. Molly was glued to the scene in front of her, eyes rimmed red as she watched Mason getting hit again and again. “What do we do now? Mason’s not going to make it if this keeps up! Mrs. Sullivan, we have to do something!”

It wasn’t that Molly didn’t believe in Mason. The problem was Devin looked like he was on some kind of drug, getting stronger and wilder with every second. He wasn’t thinking straight. Anyone could see he was completely unhinged.

Wiona forced herself to think. Devin must have been hiding nearby and just stumbled into them by accident. She needed to get a message to Conrad, let him know they were in danger. But how? What could she do?

Then it hit her. Fire. That was the only way.

She turned to Mr. Clements, who was hovering nearby. “Do you have a lighter? Give it to me, now.”
