Divorced

P78 HEARTS

Selena couldn’t sleep at all. Lying in bed, she felt a mix of nervousness and excitement. The thought of finally leaving Cloudflare City and getting away from that insufferable Aaron–filled her with anticipation. She found herself practically counting down the minutes.

“Bang! Bang! Bang!”

Suddenly, loud knocks came from the front door, startling Selena. She quickly got up and looked toward the door. The young girl with her woke up, confused. “What’s happening?”

A sinking feeling of dread washed over Selena. Could they have found her already? So soon?

She got out of bed and said, “I’ll go check. You two stay here.”

The girl looked uneasy. “Selena, are you sure everything’s okay?”

Selena nodded. “Don’t worry, it’ll be fine.”

She quickly dressed and stepped outside.

“Who is it?” she asked cautiously.

“It’s me, Selena. Hurry, come out!”

It was Aveline’s voice at the door.

Selena was taken aback and quickly opened the door. “Ave, what are you doing here?

Hadn’t she already gone home? By now, she should have been back at Maple Garden. Aveline grabbed her wrist, looking frantic. “I saw Aaron’s car. He found you. We have to leave now!”

Selena froze in shock. “He found me? How did he find me?”

She had been as discreet as possible, taking every precaution to hide her whereabouts. How could Aaron have tracked her down so quickly?

Aveline urged, “There’s no time to figure that out. We need to go now.”

“Oh, right! Wait a sec, I need to grab my things “Salon

exchanged a few words with the girl, then grabbed her backpack and hurried back out to Aveline’s car.

Aveline started the engine and sped off,

Still shaken, Selena glanced back over her shoulder. Her eyes widened in horror.” Ave, we might not be able to outrun them.”

Aveline also noticed the headlights in the rearview mirror, and her face instantly hardened.

How did this happen?

Where had the plan gone wrong?

How had Aaron managed to catch up so quickly?

The car behind them roared closer, and Aveline slammed her foot on the gas, speeding forward!

Seeing her determined expression, Selena grew worried. “Ave, he’s already found me. There’s no way I’m going to escape. Maybe we should just give up.”

“No way!” Aveline’s voice was firm. “We can’t just give up now. You’re so close to getting away!”

Selena sensed something was off. “Ave, what’s going on with you?”

Aveline kept her eyes on the road ahead. “I’m going to get you out of here, no matter what!”

She glanced back at the car trailing them. Although they had gained some distance, they still needed to lose them completely.

Aveline thought of Mason and Jason. She quickly dialed Mason’s number.

“Miss Young,” Mason answered almost immediately.

“Mason, is there any way you can get Selena out of here right now and out of Cloudflare City?” Aveline asked urgently.

Mason hesitated. “I’m afraid that’s going to be difficult. Aaron’s men have already circled around to cut you off.”

“What?”

Mason explained, “Miss Young, Aaron brought a lot of people with him. He’s been

watching from the shadows, and some of his men have already blocked the road

ahead.”

As Mason finished speaking, several bright headlights appeared in front of them. Aveline instinctively hit the brakes.

Selena saw the cars ahead and let out a bitter laugh. “Anyone who didn’t know better would think I’m Aaron’s runaway bride.”
