Hidden Flash Marriage: Love Me Back, Mr CEO

“What do you mean?-I had her abducted!”

Vivian’s head spun and she felt an immediate wave of sickness hit her.

“Where is she now? Where did you take her?” She spoke urgently, throwing on a jacket and grabbing her phone from the bed.

Barbara scoffed, “You want to go and save her? After what she did to you? Impossible!”

“What? What exactly did she do to me? Who said Shawn Mendez was mine to begin with?! Just tell me where you took her.” Vivian pleaded helplessly.

“No!”

Barbara was determined to keep the girl in her grasp. Opportunity came but once. “We have her already. ..”

“No?” Unable to contain herself any longer, Vivian asked in a low voice, “Aren’t you ashamed of yourself?”

“What did you say?” Her mother was stunned.

“I asked if you aren’t ashamed of yourself! Do you ever think about me at all? About my feelings? Ever since we started living in this house, it’s been torture for me! You’re my mother, yet you aren’t.” Vivian sobbed softly, “Getting pregnant by your helper’s husband-someone who treated you as her own sister-wasn’t that enough?

“You brought us into this house immediately after she died… and began to make her daughter’s life a living hell, in her rightful house! Aren’t you ashamed of yourself? And to think you want to go to the extent of kil… I’m ashamed of you.” She released all the emotions she’d bottled up for ages.

“You keep using me as an excuse to perpetrate evil every single time! That’s disgusting. Oh, you think I don’t know you’re doing this for yourself and not me? If your plans work out, you’re the one who’s going to benefit the most.”

“You want to be Shawn’s mother-in-law so bad. Pathetic. Every night, I cry myself to sleep because of how pathetic my birth mother is. I hate myself! I hate you even more! You should have gotten rid of me in your belly, but no. You selfish-”

Upon hearing her daughter’s heart-piercing words, Barbara’s body weakened instantly, and her legs gave way, causing her to collapse onto the floor with a hard thud.

Yet, Vivian couldn’t care less. “If you don’t send me the address of where you took her, consider yourself childless. I want nothing to do with you anymore.”

With that, she stormed out of her bedroom, leaving her mother speechless.

Hot tears streamed down Barbara’s face. She never expected… Who would have thought that her one and only daughter harbored so much hatred for her? The girl’s words were true and bitter, painfully bitter.NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

Ages back, May Thompson had indeed offered her assistance when she was still in the slums. When no one else came to her rescue and she was wallowing away in poverty, the woman did.

May took pity on Barbara, helping her open a salon and introducing her to the world of elites-taking her to high-end parties, outings, shopping… She allowed her freely into her house as she took her as a sister. However, Barbara’s greed took over. She wanted more.

Merely witnessing the rich life wasn’t sufficient; she desired to live the rich life. May Thompson’s life. With this mindset, she embarked on a mission: she slept with the woman’s husband, giving birth to a girl just months before May welcomed her own daughter.

Upon May’s demise, Barbara assumed her life, her household, and her position everywhere. Unaware that her actions were deeply hurting the one person she loved the most-her daughter, a realization that dawned on her just today.

With a heavy heart, Barbara picked up her phone, texted Vivian the address, and then, clutching her chest, she wept bitterly.

As Vivian sped away, tears shimmered in her eyes.

Since the night Martha handed her the divorce file, bitterness consumed her, and Mia became the target of a thousand mental stabs. Vivid, torturous thoughts of revenge filled her mind daily, but the bond of sisterhood held her back.

Despite the deep anger, Vivian couldn’t bring herself to harm Mia. After all, she was her sister. The internal struggle left her crying herself to sleep each night, feeling utterly helpless.

As time passed and Vivian showed no sign of taking action, her mother decided to intervene. Without Vivian’s knowledge, Barbara orchestrated Mia’s abduction.

Vivian should have anticipated her mother’s actions.

Her phone chimed, and she saw Barbara had sent her the address. A small smile flickered across her lips. Perhaps her mother was still capable of redemption.

Tears welled in her eyes as she pressed down on the accelerator, her heart heavy with emotion.

“Whose handiwork is it?” CEO Shawn inquired the person on the other end the moment he answered the call.

His lips pressed into a thin line as he listened, commanding, “Keep watch till I get there.”

Ending the call, he tapped his legs impatiently as the vehicle glided down the road.

Just how far would that woman go? It wouldn’t take him much to ruin Barbara’s life entirely. However, for Mia’s sake…

It wasn’t long before Shawn’s convoy arrived at their destination-an abandoned warehouse off the town.

Jasper, already at the venue per his boss’s instructions to await further orders, could only wait impatiently in the car.

Upon seeing the Big Boss, he hastily exited the vehicle and hurried to his side, immediately kneeling before him. “I’ve committed a great crime, Big Boss,”

Jasper was well aware that he had transgressed against the Big Boss. Only time would tell whether forgiveness awaited him or if he would pay with his head.

He had no clue how the whole thing happened. Earlier, he simply drove the car to a nearby filling station for a quick fuel stop.

With Madam often leaving work late in recent days, he assumed it would be the same today, hence the trip to the filling station.

Little did he anticipate that upon returning to B. Y Entertainments, the Big Boss’s wife would be a few miles ahead, in motion-all thanks to the tracking device he had concealed in her phone…

It dawned on him-she had been abducted.

He promptly started tailing the vehicle that had abducted her, simultaneously calling the Big Boss to relay the update.

Despite how uncomfortable it was, he knew there was no alternative but to inform the man that his wife had been kidnapped.

Shawn brushed past Jasper and observed as his men strategically positioned themselves in the vicinity. As per the tracking device, Mia was currently located in the abandoned warehouse right in front of them.

Advancing with determination, the CEO led his men, prepared to storm the warehouse and rescue their Madam. Yet, on closer examination, he observed that the warehouse door was slightly ajar.

Signaling his men, they forcefully entered the warehouse, armed for the task. Despite a thorough search, the area appeared empty-no one in sight.

Shawn’s head began to ache. “Are you sure they brought her here?”

“Yes, Big Boss,” Jasper bowed. “I witnessed them carrying her inside, but shortly afterward, they all departed, leaving without Madam.”

The CEO’s brows furrowed. ‘What could that mean?’

“Keep searching,” he thunderously ordered, and his men swiftly resumed their efforts.

Heart thumping loudly in his chest, he joined the search, impatiently checking every room in the warehouse, yelling at the top of his lungs, “Mia!”

Each door he opened revealed emptiness, fueling his growing anxiety. “Mia!!!” His mind was besieged by unsettling thoughts.

Could they have… and then left?…

Just as he began to fear she wasn’t there and he might have lost her, turning the doorknob of the next door, he laid eyes on his wife.

His heart skipped a beat.
