Divorced and Pregnant My New Life with a Billionaire Drives My Ex Crazy novel Chapter 856

"Wiona, I think something terrible has happened to him!" Ryan said, his voice trembling.

Wiona glanced at Conrad, who was already mobilizing his men to start a search. Upon receiving the order, Peter personally led a team out into the dark, puddle-filled night.

Conrad walked over and wrapped an arm around Wiona's shoulders. "Calm down. I just contacted the resort staff, and they will help us look."

Wiona's face paled. "Did you ask the security at the gate? Are we sure Uncle Carter never left?"

"Yes, he never left the premises," Conrad confirmed with a nod. "All the Blue family cars and drivers are still here."

Wiona recalled Carter's parting words before he left the banquet hall. "He said Paige would show up tonight. But then he vanished, and Paige never appeared at all. It's almost midnight. Obviously, something has happened to Uncle Carter. We can't reach him, and we have no idea if he's safe."

Her anxiety spiked, but then a more pressing concern crossed her mind. "Ryan, do Grandma Grace and the others know?"

"We didn't alarm our grandparents given their age," Ryan explained. "But everyone else knows. Every available member of the Blue family is out looking for him."

Wiona immediately pulled her coat tighter. "Then we should go too. Every extra person helps."

The little resort cabin instantly grew quiet. With Wiona as its sole occupant, the villa felt unsettlingly vast and empty. Lying in bed clutching the blankets, she listened to the howling wind outside and felt a throbbing headache creeping in. What was going on? Was her cold really getting that severe? She shook her head, soon realizing that it wasn't just a headache. A heavy wave of dizziness washed over her.

Sensing something was terribly wrong, Wiona reached out for her phone just as a flash of lightning illuminated the room. Through the fluttering sheer curtains, she spotted a pitch-black silhouette standing by the pool outside the French doors. Her heart seized. The next second, her vision went completely dark, and she lost consciousness.

Hearing a loud thud from inside, the shadow outside slid the glass door open and stepped in. Pushing aside the curtain, he noticed a phone on the floor dialing out a number. The figure strode over and immediately disconnected the call. He then looked down at the stunning sleeping beauty on the bed. Though a flicker of admiration crossed his eyes, a cold, murderous intent radiated from his posture.

Pulling out his own phone, The Shadow made a call. His deep voice echoed through the empty room. "Sir, I have her. You can make your move."
