There's No Turning Back (Elara and Harvey) novel Chapter 40

Chapter 40

Elara immediately turned and walked away. Time was running out. She needed to find a place with power and internet acce as soon as possible to complete the online competition

She headed to a nearby cafe, only to discover that it also had no signal. Pressing the emergency call button, she dialed Finnegan.

“Finn, can I use the Internet at your gym? I lost all signal at home.”

Finnegan’s voice came through, T’m sorry, Elara. The gym was just shut down due to fire safety regulations.”

What?

How could it be such a coincidence?

Finnegan also found it strange. “Even my rental properties lost power today. I’ll call the power company and check.”

“No need.” Elara replied. “I’m sorry for dragging you into this.”

Finnegan quickly realized why Elara felt guilty. His expression turned grim. “Was it Harvey? Did he cut off your signal?”

“Finn. I have something really important to do. I believe things will work out.”

Elara didn’t have time to explain further. She ended the call, clutching her laptop tightly as she stepped into the rain.

The drizzle fell in fine strands, soaking her clothes. She wrapped her coat tightly around her laptop to protect it from getting

wet

Glancing back, she noticed a white car trailing her at a slow pace. There was an antenna mounted on top

A chill ran through her entire body. It was a signal–blocking vehicle. She quickened her pace, but the car followed closely, shadowing her every move.

Harvey was making a statement–he could infiltrate every aspect of her life, leaving her nowhere to escape.

Even though they had signed the divorce agreement, he still had complete control over her. And if he wanted to, he could utterly destroy her.

Elara walked for a mile before finally finding an old convenience store with a landline

She called Tobias and explained her situation. After hanging up, she stood at the store’s entrance, watching the fine drizzle outside.

Tobias had promised to send a car for her.

She didn’t dare hail a cab as Harvey could easily bribe a driver. If she got into the wrong car, she might never know where it would take her.

Just then, the store owner called out to her. “Miss, your

your husband wants you to take this call

Elara’s entire body went cold

She stood there, soaked to the bone, looking like a drowned ghost. Wet strands of hair clung to her forehead, and her damp clothes clung tightly to her frail shoulders.

She stepped up to the landline and picked up the receiver.

At that moment, Harvey sat in his leather chair. He was dressed in a meticulously tailored suit, gazing out at the rolling clouds beyond the floor–to–ceiling windows.

Like a god standing above the world, he needed only to extend his hand to crush the insignificant ant at his feet.

“You’ve been out of the Fisher family for three weeks. Have you calmed down?”

To him, it was as if she had merely run away in a fit of anger. The divorce agreement she had handed over was nothing more than a ridiculous piece of scrap paper.
