The CEO’s Betrayal: My Ex-lover Has Triplets

Chapter 30

Chapter 30~ A suspect

A stab of pain rushed through Tessa and she dropped to her knees, clutching the left side of her chest as if that would stop the pain that was eating at her heart.

The kids were not at the warehouse. She could only imagine what they were going through. Had they eaten? Were the people who took them at least nice to them?

She felt like someone was punching her in the gut. Intense worry crept into her as she released

loud sobs.

Aaron followed after her and saw this scene. He felt like someone was squeezing his heart.

Tessa looked almost lifeless. This ordeal had taken a toll on her. He wasn’t any better but he had to stay strong for them.

He walked towards Tessa and went down on his knees, Grabbing her, he pulled her against his

chest and cupped the back of her head.

“We will find them. The military has started searching for them as we speak. The kidnapper left the car he had used so it will be a little harder to track them this time. But I’m doing all I can to

find our children. I won’t rest until we have them back, safe and sound.”

Tessa clutched Aaron’s white dress shirt and sobbed. Her lips trembled as she asked, “Can we

really find them? We don’t know the kidnapper’s motive yet. He hasn’t called to ask for a ransom.

What the hell does he want with our children?”

Aaron tightened his hold around her, stroking her hair soothingly. He took in a deep breath and promised, “I’m still trying to figure out why someone would kidnap my kids as soon as they were made public. I know I have many enemies but-”

Tessa pushed Aaron away when she heard that. Her eyes turned cold as she glared at him, saying, “It’s your fault. The kidnapper pretended to be your assistant. It might be your enemy or maybe Serena did this to get back at me! I shouldn’t have come back to Ashford City! I shouldn’t have brought the kids here. Everything goes wrong when you are near.”

Aaron felt a stab of pain in his heart. Tessa’s words cut through him like a hot knife cuts through

butter.

He swallowed the lump in his throat and pulled Tessa against his chest again. His eyes welled up in tears as he said, “I’m sorry. It’s my fault. I should have been more careful I won’t rest until I find. them. The triplets are very precious to me. Just like you are. I love you all so much and trust me, this situation hurts me as well. We shall find them.”

Ultimately, Tessa calmed down; she clung to Aaron for dear life, needing the support and comfort he was giving her.

They then went back to town as the technicians began another search for the triplets.

Tessa stood by the window in Aaron’s apartment and stared at the full moon. She couldn’t help but wonder how the kids were doing. She only hoped they were alive and well.

A warm scarf was suddenly placed around her shoulders and she turned to look at Aaron who had placed it around her.

“Please keep warm. I don’t want you to catch a cold. I want our kids to find you healthy when we get them back,” Aaron remarked, looking into her eyes.

A tear fell down Tessa’s eye as she looked up at him, asking. “Do you really think we will find

them?”

Aaron took her face in his hands. He wiped the tear off with his thumb before tilting his head to kiss her eye. He pulled away and assured her, “I know we will find them. ”

Meanwhile, Harry received a call from his underling

“Boss, we can’t do this anymore. The military is after us and they will find us soon,” Cobra said as he drove the triplets to the port.

Just like Harry had suggested, he had given them a dose of sleeping pills when they began to cry and struggle. They were now sleeping peacefully in the back of his car.

He was scared though. He had no problem with doing illegal things but hurting children was a no- go area. Cobra felt like his boss had gone too far but there was nothing he could do about it.

“Well, then step on it. Don’t let them catch you. At least, those kids should be already gone by the

time they catch you. Am I making myself clear?” Harry commanded.

He was still in his office, drinking and smoking because he was on edge. Tessa had finally

released the monster in him. She shouldn’t blame him. It was her ungratefulness which led to

this.

“S-sir, are you saying-”

“Yes, I am. Do whatever it takes to get rid of those kids. Even if it means you being caught. For now, I’ll distract the police and the military.”

Harry cut the call and looked at the screen of his laptop. A wicked smirk curled at the corner of his lips as he watched a video.

He then hit the send button and sat back in his seat as though there wasn’t anything serious.

going on.

The next day, Aaron’s phone rang and he instantly picked it up. Tessa also looked at him with hope from where she was seated on the L-shaped couch.

None of them had slept a wink the previous night. Although they had dark bags under their eyes. they didn’t dare rest just in case they missed the news about their children.

Aaron looked at the called ID and told Tessa, “It’s the police.”

Tessa’s heart jumped to her throat as Aaron answered the call.

“Hello, Inspector Michael. Have you found them?”

Tessa watched anxiously as Aaron’s eyebrows furrowed and her stomach twisted and turned She thought the police were calling to deliver bad news and her eyes stung with tears.

“Ok, Inspector. Yes, arrest and interrogate her.” Aaron said and then looked at Tessa after cutting

the call

He inhaled sharply and uttered, “Someone anonymously sent a video to the police. It’s a video showing the suspect in the kidnapping case. Some fingerprints were taken from the car that was

left at the warehouse and the driver matches the man in the video ”

Tessa stood up, her heart pounding violently in her chest. “Is that all? Who sent him to kidnap them?

Aaron sighed and replied. “The woman in the video is Delilah Kingston. She had met with the driver who pretended to be Enock a few days ago. The police are on their way to arrest her right.

now.”

Tessa’s stomach sank. Isn’t Delilah Harry’s fiancée? Did this mean it wasn’t Aaron’s fault that the children were kidnapped but hers?

Guilt crept into her as she stared at Aaron. “Aaron, I..”

Η

“Let’s not think about other things right now. This is still my fault. I was careless,” Aaron remarked.

He then led her out of the apartment and they met with the police who were on their way to arrest Delilah.

Meanwhile, Serena and Delilah were chilling on the rooftop of the imperial hotel They were seated on sun loungers next to a big pool with sexy bikinis, sipping on some freshly squeezed orange juice.

After she got exposed, Serena wanted to dig a hole and hide. A lot of people were roasting her online. Her fans who loved her work as a pianist left unpleasant comments on her posts and unfollowed her. They thought she was too scheming and despicable.

However, there were a few who were die-hard fans. They are the ones who hyped her up and encouraged her to pursue Mr Wentworth. After all, he wasn’t, like they said, married yet, so he wasn’t taken.

Serena forgot about how she was humiliated and began to devise another plan to get rid of Tessa. She had invited Delilah for an outing so that they could put their heads together.

“Are you sure you want to do this? Aaron seems like he’s really into Tessa,” Delilah remarked after Serena laid out her plan. This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

“Yes, he’s into her because of the kids. But what if Tessa slept with someone else and Aaron caught them red-handed? Do you think he will still desire her?” Serena chuckled darkly and added, “I know him. He’s a very proud man who doesn’t like to share ”

Delilah nodded and said, “That may work. Perhaps, your brother might give up on her too. He had asked me out for lunch a few days ago but he stood me up

Serena took a sip of her juice and laid back on the lounger with a satisfied smile on her face.” Don’t worry, we shall have the last laugh”

Suddenly there was a commotion behind them. A few police officers approached them and stood

in front of Delilah.

One man came forward and took out some handcuffs, saying, “Delilah Kingston, I suggest you. dress up appropriately for you are under arrest for the kidnapping of the Wentworth triplets.”

“What?!” Delilah squeaked as her eyes turned into saucers. “I think you got the wrong person, officer. Why would I kidnap children?”

“That’s what you are going to explain at the station. Miss Kingston, I’m going to make you regret ever touching my kids,” it was Aaron who said this time.

His voice was cold and menacing. He sounded like he was holding back from killing someone.

The two ladies’ mouths were almost on the floor. Serena didn’t expect to see Aaron here. She

wanted to rush to him but she frowned when she saw Tessa by his side.

‘She’s such a pest!’

Delilah’s heart was pounding as she quickly threw on a dress. The officer turned her around and cuffed her wrists, causing her to start to struggle.

“Please! Don’t do this to me! I’m innocent! I didn’t kidnap any kids! Serena, save me! Call Harry and ask him to save me, please!”

Aaron and Tessa ignored Serena and followed the officers as they dragged Delilah out of the

hotel

At the same time, a tall figure was standing behind a pillar. His lips formed a cruel smirk as he muttered under his breath. “One obstacle down. Three more to go.”
