Attracted By My Ex-wife novel Chapter 508

The next morning, Luke finally regained consciousness.

His family cried with joy as they saw his eyes flutter open. He silently watched them cry and gush over him.

Luke knew that it wasn't an accident but a pre-planned assault. The black car had hit his bike on purpose.

He was a police officer who had just started his career. He hadn't offended anyone so far, and no one harbored any ill feelings against him.

Therefore, nobody would want him dead.

Luke gritted his teeth as an image flashed in his mind. However, one person hated him with a vengeance -- only she would go to the extent of taking his life.

It was Cherry!

The woman had killed people in the past. She wouldn't have hesitated to hire goons to kill him.

Once his family left, Luke dialed Alan's number with his new phone.

The man was still sleeping in the cell when he received the call. "Hello?" he grunted.

"Alan, it's me." Luke's voice was hoarse. He was still weak and had to muster all his strength to even utter a word.

Alan bolted up; all traces of sleep vanished in an instant. He looked at the caller ID again with wide eyes. The voice sounded familiar.

Alan realized that it was Luke. He had been inquiring about him of the other officers but got no information. Luke had called him out of the blue, clarifying all his doubts.

He was still alive.

Alan felt a little disappointed, at first, because he thought that Cherry would have another crime in her record. But Luke hadn't died after the accident.

However, it was a good thing that the man was still alive. Luke could help him take his revenge.

"Luke, you are alive! Thank God!" Alan squealed in excitement. "I am so happy that you have recovered from the accident."

Luke shifted on the bed and explained everything to Alan. The man nodded and listened to his every word, shaking his head in acknowledgment.

Cherry hadn't made any progress in the last few years. She hadn't learned to murder without getting caught. Killing Luke was an easy task, but the man had escaped the horrific accident.

Luke finished the story and waited for Alan's response. But the man didn't speak for a long time. "Alan, what's your opinion?" he asked, frowning.

Luke was a policeman -- he had good judgment. He understood how criminal minds worked. Alan's answer would confirm whether his suspicions were true or not.

A wave of guilt washed over Alan. He understood what Luke meant. "Bro, I'm sorry for what I have done." He rubbed his temples and sighed. "I thought I could make you happy and fulfill your wishes but didn't mean to push you into danger. It is my fault."

Luke gritted his teeth as anger surged through his veins.

Although Alan didn't answer his question, he understood that he was indirectly referring to Cherry. He was insinuating that she was behind everything.

Luke knew that Alan had used him to take his revenge on Cherry. However, he didn't mind it because he got to be with Cherry and fulfill his wishes. But the woman was dangerous; Luke didn't think that she would try killing him.

He had just woken up from a coma; his mind was still foggy. Cherry's face seemed vague in his head, but the memory of what they did that night was still vivid. The sex was mind-blowing.

Her soft skin and perfect curves had almost driven him crazy. Although Luke got to sleep with her only once, he would remember it for a lifetime.

The pleasure he got after the sex left him asking for more. Luke thought that he would happily die if he had the chance to sleep with his idol. However, the one night's thrill didn't seem to satisfy him. He was already addicted to her body.

"Bro, you know our past and what has happened between us. I hold a grudge against Cherry. I have the power to ruin her life, so she will listen to my every word." Alan sighed and continued. "Anyway, have you heard that the people who survive disasters live a fortunate life? That's exactly the case with you. This is your rebirth. You have to decide what you want to do."

He hung up the call, giving time for Luke to think. After a careful analysis of the situation, the man finally made up his mind.

Luke was badly hurt; he could barely move his body. Cherry was the reason for all his problems.

If one needed something, they had to pay the price for it. Since Luke had already paid the price, he was determined to get what he wanted.

'Cherry, you can't escape from me this time!'

Cherry was happy than ever. She thought that Luke was dead and no one could threaten her now.

Although Alan was still in prison, she was happy to have eliminated a big problem of her life.

However, one phone call killed all her happiness in an instant.

"Cherry, I didn't think that you would have the guts to hire people to attack me. I have clearly underestimated you. Unfortunately, I'm still alive," Luke scoffed.

The blood on her face drained in an instant. The familiar voice sent a chill down her spine. She was both scared and confused.

Aden and Paul had informed her that Luke was dead, but the man was threatening her again.

Cherry couldn't understand what went wrong and how the man had managed to escape.

"Cherry, killing me isn't an easy task. I'm sorry you can't get rid of me soon. Get ready for my revenge. I won't spare you!"

Luke sounded relaxed as if he could ready Cherry's mind. "Tell me, Cherry. How can I get back at you?

Should I expose your identity and your connection with Alan, or do you want me to reveal the truth of the car accident to the public along with the evidence to prove my statement?"

Cherry's body trembled; tears cascaded down her cheeks. She bit her lip to control her emotions.

'What are you going to do now, Kim? I know that you can't reveal your true identity to the people. Where are you hiding now?

You left only to return to the mess which you had created. You got involved in problems that had nothing to do with you. Why are you doing all this? What do you want?' thought she.

Anne and Kim lived together for two years. Although she didn't have any feelings for him, she pitied the man. Life would have been better if they got along well -- they could have been good friends. However, circumstances only forced them apart. Their paths would never cross.

Anne shook her head, smiling bitterly. She didn't sleep even for a minute, and her tired brain began envisioning things that stirred her peace.

She and Kim were destined to be foes, not friends.

She stood up and stretched her sore muscles. If Kevin had booked a flight last night, he should have returned to A City by now.

She glanced at the clock and frowned.

Her phone rang just in time, putting an end to her torture. She grinned happily and answered it right away.

However, Kevin's anxious voice made her stomach churn.

"There is a problem at the construction site. Colin is missing; I can't find him anywhere."

Anne's heart began to crash in her chest. Ella's dream had been a premonition, indicating that her father was in danger.

"Anne, I'm sorry. I have to look for Colin, so I can't come home now. I have informed the bodyguards and Sam. They will take care of you and the kids." Kevin tried hard to remain calm, but the panic was evident in his voice. "Kim is back to A City. We don't know where he is hiding now. Something has happened to Colin the moment I planned to return home. I feel that Kim is behind everything; he has deliberately stopped me.

Anne, you and Mom must remember what I said. Don't go out! Otherwise..."

Kevin trailed off. He didn't have the strength to finish his words.

His family would be safe as long as they stayed at home. The bodyguards could protect them. Kim was a dangerous man.

Both Anne and Kevin knew what he might do to them if they stepped out.

Anne took a deep breath. "Don't worry; I know what to do. You better solve the problem and find Colin as soon as possible. I will have my phone with me at all times, so you can call whenever you want.

Like you said, everything seems strange now. It could be a trap. Please be safe and don't do anything reckless.

After all, you are not in A City. That's not your home ground."

Kevin chuckled. He had called Anne to explain the situation and warn her to be careful. However, his wife was advising him to be cautious.

They were worried about each other. Kim's return had destroyed their peace; they were in danger now. An eerie fear had settled in their hearts. His presence was like a dagger, pointing at their chests that could take their lives any time.

Kevin and Anne had to protect themselves as well as their family.
