Mystery Bride's Revenge

332

Ashley's panicked cries echoed through the phone, drowned by the sharp crack of gunfire and the splintering of glass. "I didn't expect to find such a pretty woman here. Grab her! She'll fetch a good price. A man sneered.

"Don't touch me! Stay away! I have money... Just let me go, I'll do anything you want!" Ashley's voice trembled with desperation.

"Bitch, your money and your life are mine now, and you still think you can bargain with me?" he mocked.

"Mom, help me! Please help me!" Ashley's scream was cut off by the phone crash hitting the ground.

"Hello? Ashley? Ashley!" Sofia's face went pale. She turned to Martin. "What's going on! You said sending Ashley abroad would keep her safe, that nothing could go wrong"

Martin was just as shocked. "What the hell? I hid Ashley in the safest place possible. How did they find her and take her?" He had gone to great lengths to secure Ashley's safety. With the Harvey Group matters still unresolved, Martin had arranged for Ashley to hide in a remote mountain area abroad, with extra bodyguards to ensure her security. 'How could something like this happen?' he wondered.

"I have to find Ashley! I've already lost her once; I can't lose her again!" Sofia remarked.

"Sofia, calm down!" Martin said.

"Martin, I can't stay calm Sofia said.

Just then, Martin's phone rang. He answered quickly, "Hello? I'm busy right now, can you- What? Insight Group just took over all of the Harvey family's shares and is buying up the rest at ten times what we're paying? Are they insane?" Sofia's heart sank as she overheard Martin's conversation. "Martin, what's happening?

"I'm so focused that I'm blind to the danger. I didn't expect the Harvey family to make such a desperate move, selling all their shares to the Brady family," Martin muttered. Martin had meticulously planned to leverage Ashley's betrayal to take control of Harvey Group and become the majority shareholder. It was a plan he could comfortably afford. But the sudden involvement of the Brady family, with Trevon willing to take on a risky investment and outspend Martin to acquire the remaining shares of Harvey Group, had thrown his strategy into chaos. Insight Group, with its resources, was in a position to pull it off.

"Sofia, go find Ashley. The plan's changed - I need to unload all my shares onto the Brady family," Martin said, now seeing the situation clearly. Competing with Insight Group now was a lost cause.

Sofia was stunned, thinking. We were so close to bringing down the Harvey family. Why is Martin backing off so easily? But with Ashley's life in danger, she didn't have time to dwell on it and rushed out the door,

A year had passed in the blink of an eye. When Sofia finally reached Ashley's hiding place, all she found was an empty shell Ashley captured, her money taken, and she was then sold on the black market. The horrors she endured - drug injections, relentless torture ey had been seem like a mercy. This was all Selina's doing, a calculated act of revenge for the suffering Ashley had caused her in the previous life.

Martin, ever the strategist, had sold off his stocks the moment he realized Trevon was getting involved. He knew better than to engage in a battle he couldn't win. In truth, Martin had been little more than a pawn in Selina's grand scheme, and Trevon didn't worsen Martin's situation. Trevon bought Martin's shares and handed them over to Selina. With that, Harvey Group changed hands. Quinton, the former chairman, was replaced by Selina. Six months after his release from prison, Quinton vanished without a trace. On this particular day, Selina was basking in the warm sunshine when Trevon approached, looking troubled. "What's wrong. Darling! Are my friends giving you a hard time again? Selina asked, noticing his expression.

"I promised I'd get their approval, and I meant it. But Malcolm just won't budge, always challenging me. What should I do? I want to marry you already, Trevon said.

"Okay, III talk to Malcolm and see if I can soften him up, Selina offered.

"You're the best" "Trevon smiled, pulling Selina into h you think it's getting a bit tedious!"

"A lule," Selina agreed.

for you for almost 30 years. Honey. I've been as patient as I can be. You're not going to keep me waiting forever, are you?" Trevou remarked. His deep love for Selina had kept him patient, but even he had his limits. Chapter 333

"Tistas feels like a good day, darling. How about we just go ahead and do it?" Selina suggested.

"Tombat" "Trevon asked.

"I want to see the scenery in Upria, Let's call it an early honeymoon. Forget about the business in Clusia. If Malcolm wants to throw a fit, let him. As long as Jeffrey. Benjamin, and Lydia are on board, we're good to go." Selina said with a grin. "Whatever you say, I'm in. I'll arrange for a private jet to take us there right away." Trevon said.

Selasa nestled into Trevon's chest, her voice soft and content. "Darling, having you by my side is the best thing that's ever happened to me. Meeting you in this life is my greatest happiness."

"I feel the same. Honcy. You're a blessing in my life, and I'm never letting you go. Trevon replied, gently kissing her forehead. Selina lifted her head, and their lips met in a tender kiss, full of intensity and affection. They didn't know what the future held, but as long as they faced it together. hand in hand, the unknown didn't seem so daunting. Instead, it felt full of hope and promise. Together, they could handle anything that came their

WAY.

"Honey, how many kids do you want to have? Trevon asked.

"Maybe two! Ideally, a boy and a girl. Raising kids is expensive these days: I don't think I could handle more than that," Selina replied thoughtfully.

"But I was thinking something more like an entire soccer team. Trevon teased.

"Trevon, are you trying to drive me crazy? Selina shot back, laughing.

"Come on, we can afford it. You're the Chairman of Harvey Group, and I'm the CEO of Insight Group.

soccer team of kids!" Trevon said.

"No way! Three at most! I seriously can't handle any more than that, Selina insisted,

"How about five... Trevon suggestedContentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

"Three!" Selina countered firmly.

"Four..." Trevon negotiated.

"Deal!" Selina agreed.

"Honey, guess we should start working on that sooner rather t than later, Trevon said.

"You're being so cheeky!" Selina laughed, playfully swatting at
