It was another virtual number.
These numbers could be generated in seconds, each tied to a different IP address—completely untraceable.
The kidnapper was calling.
Celine answered. "Hello."
A distorted, mechanical voice crackled through the line. "Celine, have you arrived?"
Her grip on the phone tightened. "I'm here."
"Good. You must have met the men I prepared for you tonight. Be a good girl and serve them well."
Celine let out a cold, mocking laugh. "Oh, I'm being very obedient. In fact, I'm taking great care of them."
"Liar! You never served them—you fought back!"
Celine's eyes flicked up, her gaze cutting through the private winery like a sharp blade. "You're here, aren't you?"
She had said it to lure the kidnapper out—and it worked.
The kidnapper was watching, hiding somewhere in the shadows, observing her every move.
But the estate was vast. Even as she surveyed the room, she couldn't spot anyone suspicious.
The kidnapper quickly realized she had been outwitted, her voice dripping with venom. "Celine, you tricked me!"
Celine's lips curved into a cold, knowing smirk. "Do we know each other?"
A heavy silence fell between them.
Celine didn't let up. "We do, don't we? There's history between us. This isn't random—you're after me and my daughter. I've figured it out. It's you, Carly, isn't it?"
Each question was a precise strike, slicing through the lies. She refused to give the kidnapper even a second to breathe, backing her into a corner.

The readers' comments on the novel: The Divorce Prescription (Celina and Adam)
Can’t wait for when Nigel will discover Celine is his child...
I was enjoying Celine being a formidable woman until the author put her abuser back in her way to make it seem she is weak willed with no physical control. This saddens me....
Regardless of how "sorry" the abusive man is. His regret is his own burden to carry....
When a woman divorces a man because he ill treated her, authors of these books, should stop making a women look desperate to go back with the abusive man. The real world is not like that. Many many women value themselves too much to return to their abusers....
Please this story is going round in circles……this writer🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️...
After 3 years….these two are still dumb! Writer please hurry up...
What a way for both Hayden and Lucy to go...
I'm so invested with this novel. Both Declan-Hailey and Celine-Adam's story. But, Declan and Hailey gives me more heartache. I thought they would get their happy ending after what Declan have been through. But just like what others said, maybe the author is very sad that's why she don't want her characters to be happy. 😭 Ewan is so evil...
This writer is very sad! Why should Ewan come back to hurt Declan!...
So let’s move to Celina and Adam...
