Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire novel Chapter 308

Everett's tone was icy, "Didn't I tell you to reach out to Derick if you need something? Stop calling me."

But on the other end, Margot's voice broke through, filled with panic and fear, her words laced with tears. "Everett... please, help me... I need help..."

"What’s happening?"

The line suddenly became chaotic, Margot’s words were cut off, making them hard to understand. After a piercing scream, the call abruptly ended.

Everett frowned, quickly dialing back, but was only met with a persistent busy signal. No one picked up.

He hurried back to his bedroom, threw on a sweater, grabbed his car keys, and as he was about to leave, he glanced back at Selena without thinking.

She was sound asleep, completely unaware of the turmoil.

Everett's hand lingered on the doorknob as he quietly closed the door behind him and rushed out.

His black Bentley tore through the night, the cool air washing over him.

As she slept, Selena was suddenly jolted awake by a cramp in her left leg.

"Everett..."

She called out, expecting him to be next to her, but the bed was empty.

Confusion flickered in her eyes, but she couldn’t dwell on it. The cramp demanded her full attention. She focused on breathing deeply and straightening her leg to ease the pain.

A light sheen of sweat formed on her forehead.

After a few moments, the discomfort faded, and Selena exhaled slowly, sinking back into the bed.

Her health had always been pretty good, rarely bothered by such things. But since getting pregnant, little issues seemed to pop up now and then.

No wonder they say being a mom is the toughest job. She was only three months in and already felt it.

But...

Selena gently rubbed her still-flat belly, a small smile tugging at her lips.

Despite everything, she felt incredibly happy. Knowing the baby was growing inside her, breathing and thriving, made it all worth it.

Exhaustion must have taken over because her eyelids drooped, and she drifted back to sleep.
