Between Ruin And Resolve My Ex-Husband's Regret novel Chapter 601

Chapter 601 Nathan Would Finally Be Hers

Sadie looked away and pulled the window shade down, instantly dimming the cabin.

She shifted into a more comfortable position, closed her eyes, and started to doze off.

Unbeknownst to her, Nathan had shown up on the scene shortly after the decoy car caught fire.

He slammed on the brakes, jumped out of his car, and stared in horror as the Maybach was engulfed in flames.

For one tense moment, it was all he could do.

That was Sadie’s car! How did things turn out this way?

He descended into a panic. If something happened to Sadie, everything he had worked for would come crashing down. Patrick would never forgive him, and the Higgins family would be finished!

The impending aftermath spurred Nathan into action, and he rushed toward the blazing vehicle. “Sadie! Sadie!”

But the fire was too intense, the heat too scorching. It wasn’t possible to get any closer.

The flames crackled as they continued to devour the car. There was no way anyone inside could survive that.

Nathan’s face went deathly pale, and he felt cold all over, as if he had fallen into hell himself.

He was overcome with fear. This couldn’t be real!

With trembling hands, he fumbled for his phone and struggled to dial the fire department’s number. “Hello? Hello! You need to hurry! Someone’s trapped in a burning car! It’s on Jeswiador Road! It’s a black car! It’s burning, and someone is

still inside! Please hurry!”

He had just hung up when a sudden realization hit him. A small flicker of hope lit up inside his chest.

He always kept a fire extinguisher in the trunk of his sports car! It wasn’t much, but it was better than nothing!

He ran back to his car and clumsily grabbed the fire extinguisher before darting back to the fire.

But his small, portable extinguisher did little to put out the fiery flames. It was like trying to put out a bonfire with a squirt gun–the flames barely wavered.

Nathan’s heart thundered furiously. He was desperate now.

Thankfully, he finally heard the sirens approaching from the distance. When he turned in their direction, he saw several

fire trucks roaring down the highway.

The firefighters were quick and efficient, and they managed to control the fire in just a matter of minutes.

Nathan stood behind the safety line, anxiously waiting for news.

It took an hour to completely put out the fire. At that point, all that was left of the car was its bare bones.

A handful of firefighters slowly and carefully inspected the wreckage.

Nathan watched in tense silence, his heart already in his throat.

After a while more, the fire captain walked up to him, looking utterly bewildered. “We didn’t find any bodies inside the car, sir.”

Nathan froze. His heart stuttered.

What? Then what had he been running around for, terrified out of his mind?

Where the hell was Sadie?

Despite the car’s charred condition, it was still recognizable enough that he knew it was the one she had used.

Nathan frowned and stared at his feet, his mind racing.

Then a brief conversation from yesterday flashed in his mind.

Sadie had asked him to tell everyone that she would be taking the highway back to Jazmah this morning.

The truth dawned on him, and he could only smack his forehead in frustration. How had he not thought of that?

Nathan closed his eyes and let out a heavy sigh of relief. Then he chuckled in admiration. That woman was something else, all right.

All of a sudden, a voice in the back of his mind told him to look around. Right then, a black car sped down the highway

next to the lane of the burnt car.

Wasn’t that the same car he had seen back at the hospital? What was it doing here?

Nathan felt a twinge of suspicion. Could this unmarked car be connected to the incident?

Meanwhile, in the back seat of the car in question, a bodyguard took out his phone and made a call.

The line connected after two rings.

“Hello?” Ophelia answered, sounding quite agitated.

The bodyguard lowered his voice. “Miss, it’s done. I saw it with my own eyes–the car is practically burned to ashes.

There’s no way anyone could have survived.”

Ophelia’s heart soared when she heard that. Sadie was finally dead? At long last!

It was a huge weight lifted off her shoulders. There was no one left to get in her way! The position of Nathan’s wife was

now empty, and Ophelia was more than ready to take it. Nathan would finally be hers!

That wretched Sadie got what she deserved. It was her karma for stealing Nathan from her!

“Good job!” Ophelia exclaimed, unable to contain her excitement. “Book the first flight out of the country and lie low for a

while. I will transfer the rest of the payment to your account later.”

The bodyguard grinned greedily. “As you wish, Miss. You can count on me. I made sure there are no loose ends.”

He was pretty chuffed when he hung up. This assignment had been easy money, after all. He hadn’t even lifted a finger!

He had simply tailed the car as he was instructed. Who could have known that it would catch fire on its own?

Well, they got what was coming to them!

He didn’t care about any of that. All that mattered to him was the hefty sum he was getting out of this contract.
