Ex-Wife's Revenge (Alaricka) novel Chapter 15

Chapter 15

In a panic, her backpack fell under the seat.

Alarieka pounded Kieran’s shoulder like crazy. “Kieran, are you out of your mind?”

Kieran clamped around her waist, pinning her to the driver’s seat. He used one hand to hold her chin, his dark eyes sharply fixed on hers. “Do you think I’m stupid?”

Alarieka put her arm between them to keep a distance. “You mistook me for Roschelle. Why can’t I feel disgusted?

“I said I wanted to keep my distance from you. It’s you who crossed the line.

“Also, have you found out who drugged you?”

She grabbed Kieran’s neatly cut collar. Her cold eyes were moist with tears. “Don’t frame me again.”

“Again?” Kieran looked at her coldly. “When have I ever framed you?”

Alaricka thought, “He framed me so many times in the past. How miserable my death was. Kieran and Roschelle stabbed me many times.”

Suddenly, Kieran sneered and gripped her chin, “Also, keeping distance? I never allowed it.”

Alaricka’s eyes reddened instantly. “What do you mean?”

Kieran’s voice was very calm. “Before I figure things out, you can’t run

away.”

“All in all, you still don’t doubt Roschelle,” Alaricka said sarcastically “It’s already obvious. Other than that glass of juice, where else is the doubt?”

She smiled sarcastically at Kieran. “Roschelle succeeded, didn’t she?”

Kieran’s expression darkened, his words unclear. “No.”

But Alarieka understood what he meant. “This has nothing to do with me.”

She pushed Kieran away hard, sat back in her seat, and picked up the backpack under the seat to hug it.

The rest of the journey was filled with silence. Kieran resumed his focus on the tablet, scrolling through documents.

Upon arriving at school, Alaricka swiftly got out of the car and left without a backward glance.

Meanwhile, inside the car, Kieran’s phone began to ring.

It was a call from Roschelle. “Kier, are you feeling better now?”

Kieran grunted softly.

After a pause, Roschelle spoke quietly, almost shyly, “Kier, why didn’t you let me help you last night? I know you care about me, but I was willing to…”

“Rose,” Kieran interrupted, his voice low, “don’t think about it.”

Roschelle fell silent.

After a while, she asked, “Kier, why did you send Ms. Huston to

school today? What did you talk about?”

Kieran replied briefly, “Nothing.”

Roschelle suddenly said, “Kier, do you suspect me of drugging you?“,

After a brief silence, Kieran’s voice softened. “No, don’t worry.”

Roschelle finally smiled in relief, “Then I’m at case. I’ll wait for you to come back.”

Kieran grunted and hung up the phone.

He glanced at the school gate. Alarieka had already melted into the crowd.
