Billionaire Ex-wife: I Can't Live Without You
Chapter 1988

Inside, Violeta and Jennifer were deep in discussion.

Without hesitation, Lucinda inquired about Graham’s whereabouts.

“He’s been trying to reach out through his old contacts to secure your release after learning of your detention,” Violeta explained, relief evident in her tone that Lucinda was safely released.

Lucinda, maintaining a composed demeanor, shifted the topic to Nala‘s situation.

“Nala’s been taken.

Violeta, do you know where she might be?”

Violeta revealed that after Nala was taken away by the police, Graham discovered she had been transferred into Danilo’s care shortly thereafter.

Realizing the urgency of the situation as evening approached, Lucinda quickly verified the next flight from Stastle’s airport to Zephyria, pinpointing it at eleven o’clock that night.

It dawned on her that Nala, unable to conceal her identity any longer, would likely depart Cadiered at the earliest opportunity.

If Danilo were escorting Nala to the airport in anticipation of their flight back to Zephyria, reclaiming Nala once within Danilo’s domain would pose a greater challenge.

After a moment’s contemplation, Lucinda sought to confront Graham directly.

“Which room can I replace Graham in?” she asked.

Violeta responded without hesitation, “He’s in the master bedroom.

”

Lucinda made her way upstairs, where she found the door to the master bedroom closed.

She knocked twice before entering.

Graham, seated on the bed’s edge and deep in conversation on the phone, paused to assess Lucinda from head to toe.

His visible sigh of relief upon confirming her safety was palpable as he told the person on the other end, “Cancel the alert.

She’s here.

”

Ending the call, he approached Lucinda with a concerned look.

“What’s up?” he inquired.

Lucinda was direct.

“Verify who’s booked on the next flight from Stastle’s airport to Zephyria tonight.

If Danilo and Nala are listed, leverage your airport contacts to delay their departure,” she instructed.

Graham remained silent, absorbing her request.

Lucinda, without waiting for his response, retrieved the paternity test results from her bag and handed them to him.

His skepticism was evident as he unfolded the document, but the revelation of “half sibling kinship” visibly shook him.

Though his expression was unreadable, the brief flicker in his eyes spoke volumes.

Regardless of Graham’s thoughts or his previous ignorance of Nala’s true identity, Lucinda made her stance clear, articulating each word with precision.

“Nala is, without a doubt, Valerie.

Whether or not you were aware of her identity, this is your crossroads.

If you choose to support your illegitimate sister over me, your biological sister.

.

”

She left her sentence hanging, the sarcasm in her gaze underscored her point.

Graham, clutching the report, met her gaze steadfastly and said with a determined rasp, “There’s nothing to consider.

Your wish is my command.

”
