Reborn Before The Divorce

Nydia subconsciously tensed and grabbed Jesse’s hand.

“I’ll go out and check.” He got up, but Nydia grabbed him and wouldn’t let go, “No, you can’t go out there.”

What if he went out and got shot straight away?

“Mr. Pascall, if you’re going out you need to wear protection as well, put your body armor on first.”

“Yes, body armor on, hurry.” Nydia responded, “I have to put on my defenses too.”

Nydia couldn’t put on a normal bulletproof vest at this point, she could only quickly modify it to block the heart, a vital location, to buy herself a chance of survival.

But if Alex was taking the bombing approach, nothing would actually work.

Time passed by, and there were only two minutes left of the five minutes.

There was a lot of noise outside, and a situation like this would definitely attract people around, and someone was already taking cell phone videos and uploading them to the internet, so much so that more and more people were paying attention to this matter.

“Jesse, Nydia, you have one minute and thirty seconds to go, one minute and twenty-nine seconds.”

They were counting down.

“If we don’t get out, will it really bomb?” Nydia asked Jesse.

It was something that could only be asked of Jesse, who was the only one who knew Alex.

“It’s a gamble, Key, do we dare?”

At this moment, there were quite a few people in the villa, besides JesseNydia, there were Jeff, Julia, Emma, two cooks, Vergil, a bodyguard, plus two children.

With so many people, once it blew up, it was equal to all of them here going on the road.

There was no chance of surviving.

“I’ll go out and stall for time while you guys leave through the secret passage.” Jesse said to Nydia.

“Didn’t Alex tell us to go out together? Would it be useless for you to go out alone?”

Nydia was worried that if Jesse was the only one going out, Alex would just blow up the house in a fit of pique, and they happened to be in the secret passageway, so to speak, making it even more of a problem if they were in and out of the house.

It would take time to get out through the secret passage, at least five minutes, and five minutes might not even get them very far, and once it exploded, the range would certainly be very wide, and it might not be safe.

“I’ll go out with you, at least they’re safe, we’ll improvise afterward.”

Jesse knew that Alex must have been so furious to know about his acting that he had to punish Nydia, otherwise Alex would have just told him to get out.

“Daddy Mommy!” Molly and Tavish ran out and hugged them, “Don’t leave daddy mommy, we want to be together.”

“Tavish, you should know the right thing to do now.” Nydia looked at Tavish and stroked his head, “Daddy and Mommy don’t want to be separated from you either, but the time has come when we must, you protect yourself protect your sister.”

Tavish didn’t say anything, just his eyes were red and he tried desperately to bite his lips to keep from crying.

He clenched his little fists tightly, why wasn’t he strong enough, if he was stronger he could have protected his family, he wouldn’t be unable to do anything like he was now.

“You’ve been great, don’t beat yourself up.” Nydia could see Tavish’s thoughts softly consoling, “You are the best, that’s why mommy believes in you, Molly, listen to your brother, daddy and mommy will be fine because we’re awesome and surely we’ll come back to you safely, right?”

Molly was already crying, she wasn’t as stoic as Tavish, she couldn’t help but let her emotions out when she had them.

She had never been faced with a scene like this before and she couldn’t help it.

“Jesse, you have twenty seconds.” The countdown pressed on like a ticking clock.

There was no longer any room for thought.

Jesse and Nydia had no choice but to get out.

“Take care of Molly and Tavish, please!”

With that said the two walked out the door.

Outside stood two men in black suits, no one else could be seen.

But Jesse knew there had to be someone else hiding in the shadows, and Jesse’s men were as well, this was a battle, not just between the strengths of the two sides, but a battle of mental tactics as well.

“We’re out, Alex, what do you want?” Jesse said in a cold voice.

This time one of the men in suits walked up and took out a tablet and put it in front of Jesse.

Soon the screen lit up and Alex’s face appeared, he was well dressed and looked to be in good spirits, but Nydia could tell right away that he was outwardly weak and just holding on for dear life.

“Jesse, you shouldn’t have lied to me.” Alex spoke up.

“Let’s not talk about these useless things, how do you plan to end this when you make such a big fuss?”

This matter has alarmed the top, Alex is really old, he has been overwhelmed by anger, he has actually made such a big show, unlike before when he used to keep a low profile and hide.

“I don’t need to end it, I’m ready to die, but wouldn’t it be nice to have so many people to bury me when I die?” Alex laughed, looking unconcerned.

“When I go to hell, these people still won’t be able to fight me, and they might even have to work under me.”

Soon his words changed and landed on Nydia.

“Your wife has a big belly, she’s about to give birth, isn’t she?” His smile was kind as he said this.

But his smile quickly narrowed to a regretful expression, “It’s a shame it’s not a girl, if it was a girl …”

Jesse stood forward blocking Alex’s view from continuing to look at Nydia.

Nydia sensed danger and always felt that Alex meant what he said.

“Jesse, take Mrs. Pascall to the car and you guys come meet me.”NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

“Alex, I advise you to stop or you’ll get nothing.”

“Are you threatening me?”

“I’m just advising you!”

Jesse continued, “You don’t want to lose all those years of preparation, do you? You don’t seem to me to be such an unwise person, so why waste your time fighting for a breath?”

Psychological warfare, huh? Then let’s see who is better at figuring out who’s psyche.

Who really has the heavier demons in their mind.

Sure enough Alex’s face changed, he didn’t continue, he just looked at Jesse quietly.

“My advice is that you’d better do what you’re going to do and then come back to think about something else, otherwise it’s not nice to steal a chicken and make one wrong step and lose everything.”

“You’re not too young to be thinking about things more deeply than I am, aren’t you?”

Alex followed up with a rhetorical question, “Jesse, does all this talk prove that you’re in a hurry? That you’re afraid?”

“Of course I’m scared, how can I not be when the lives of my family are at your fingertips? It’s just that if we die, we die, it’s only a matter of moments, but what about you? Is it worth it?”

Nydia didn’t say a word, just grabbed Jesse’s shirt.

All she had to do was try her hardest to calm herself down and keep from being afraid, her emotions were critical right now, or else she could easily destabilize the fetal position, or even just stop the fetus.

“Jesse, there are plenty of ways I can get you to give in, you don’t want to test my boundaries.” Alex looked certain.

“If I’m not afraid to die, and neither is my family, what leverage do you have?”
