The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 1749

Stella paid it no mind, closing her eyes to rest. She hadn't been sleeping well lately because of the situation with Leonard.

She had spoken with Joshua last night, and he told her he would be back in a day or two. She had almost finished decorating their room and wondered if he would be surprised when he returned.

As her thoughts wandered, the car jolted slightly and came to a sudden stop.

Stella opened her eyes. "What's wrong?"

"I think there's a problem with a tire," Wilbur said. "Stella, you and Abby wait in the car. Gideon and I will go check it out."

Stella nodded slightly.

Wilbur and Gideon got out to inspect the situation and found that a tire was damaged. One of them stood guard by the car while the other went to the trunk to get the spare.

Just then, a group of agile men in black clothes darted out from the side.

Wilbur and Gideon's expressions changed, instantly sensing that something was wrong. Without a word, they drew their guns.

But they were a step too slow.

Two projectiles hit them with swift precision. They collapsed without a chance to fight back.

Tranquilizer darts.

Inside the car, Abby and Stella's faces paled as they witnessed the scene.

Realizing the danger, Stella was about to make a call when another group of men swarmed their car. Before she could dial, a handkerchief was pressed over her mouth and nose.

Stella lost consciousness instantly.

***

When Abby, Gideon, and Wilbur woke up, an hour had already passed. They found Stella gone and couldn't reach her. Panic filled their faces.
