My Ex Next Door

Chapter 81 81: Escape...

Darkness registered in Novie's mind when her conscious came back. She tried to move but she found out that she's been tied up.

A big headache was binding her head, she tried to remember the reason for her migraine and her whole body quivered when she realized that she had been taken with the triplets.

(Triplet!) her mind sent an alert. She tried to open her eyes but she's been blindfolded.

She tried to focus and listen to her surroundings. When she heard soft breathing, she breathed in relief.

"Hey, triplets are you here?" she muttered but her voice reverberated around which made her realized that they were in a closed room.

"Aunt Novie" It was Alexa's voice, then she heard footsteps and felt a soft and small hand removing her blindfold.

Novie slowly opened her eyes and tried to adjust with the light. When she finally got her sight back, her lips parted to see a group of men lying unconscious on the ground.

"What… what happened here?" she asked in terror while checking each of the triplets body to see if they got hurt.

Alexa giggled and asked her to calm down.

"We are fine now Aunt Novie. But we need to escape before they wake up" Ethan spoke from her behind.

Her brows creased in confusion, wondering what did happen. The last thing she remembered was the men grabbing her body and now the same man was lying on the ground.

(Did someone help us?) she asked herself, thinking it will be impossible for the triplets to take down five big men.

Alexa and Leo grabbed her hand and climbed on the stairs. When they reached the door Novie finds out it was locked from the outside.

"Ok, triplets I will try to get you all out of here" she tried to reassure them.

Novie kept on throwing herself at the door to open it but her small and weak body was no matched, she slumped her body on the floor and tried to gather her remaining strength.

"Are you ok, Auntie?" Ethan asked in concern.

She gave him a faint smile and tried to stand but her body was too weak, she suddenly wonder why the triplets still have so much energy after getting knocked out. She got knocked out by sniffing the chemical which seems to be chloroform but the triplet got it in their body by injection.

"Just give me a minute" she spoke while catching her breath.

To her surprise, Ethan stood in front of the door and removed the watch from his wrist, her eyebrow rose when the little boy dismantled it and took out a thin metal that looked like a mini knife.

The boy inserted it in the small keyhole and twisted it, a faint click sounded which made Novie realized that Ethan just unlocked the door.

She gulped and stand up, she tried to walk while her knee trembles.

They discreetly left the house and proceed to the car they found, it was unlocked and a key was inserted in the keyhole.

"Go quick! Get in the back seat!" she hurried the triplet, the kids followed obediently and Novie drove out of the house. She doesn't know where they are but she decided to follow the big road.

Meanwhile, in the car.

Daniella was still driving while Brent was seated at the backseat, he's kept on complaining about his stomach, he gradually pukes and slouched his body, they have been driving for almost an hour but he felt it's been a whole day.

Sitting in the passenger seat was Peyton, she had a tablet on her hand showing three red dots stuck in one location.

It was the tracking device Daniella installed to her kid's jewelry. When she noticed that the movement of the dots changed, she immediately informs Daniella.

"Hey! I think the triplets are escaping" Peyton informed her. Hearing that, Daniella immediately pressed the break which made Brent's body to fly.

"What have I done to be treated like this?" he grunted and tried to get up.

Before he could sit back on the chair, Daniella started the car and made a U-turn which made Brent's body to fall from the chair.

"Please, I am begging you, bring me to the hospital... my back… I think my spinal cord broke" he cried.

He tried to get up but the way Daniella was driving made his body drop repeatedly.

"Hey, you all right there?" Daniella shouted.

Brent looked at her in disbelief, he thought the two women heard him but unfortunately they didn't.

"No, please bring me to the hospital I am dying here" he complained.

There was a moment of silence before he heard Daniella's voice again.

"Peyton, take over. I will go to the backseat to check his back. We need to drive to the hospital now! If the triplets could escape that quickly. I believe this is only a distraction." Daniella instructed.

Brent watched the two women as they communicated to each other.

His heart skips a beat when he saw Peyton holding the steering wheel while Daniella got up from the driver seat, the two didn't bother to stop the car. They decided to switched places while the car was moving. When he blinked, he saw Daniella's body transferred to the backseat while his body lay down on the car floor.

For a second, he saw Daniella's underwear as she passed through since the woman was wearing a dress. When he looked at her eyes, the woman had her face crinkled in doubt.

"Peep once more and I am going to use your spine to make my daughter a necklace" she threatened him.

Brent shook his head and retracted.

Daniella asked him to turn around which he did and when he felt her hand on his back, he gulped by its warm feeling.

He heard the sound of his bone cracking but he didn't feel pain. When he turned around, he could not find Daniella on the backseat, instead, she was seated on the passenger seat while she and Peyton yelled at each other.

–

In the hospital.

Bea was in the elevator with the therapist Daniella assigned to help her. She was able to walk but only for a few steps then she needs the therapist to support her body or else she will fall on the ground.

When the elevator door opened, terror shone her eyes when she saw the guards resting on the floor, with the help of the therapist, they rushed in Ken's room and her heart collapsed when she saw the people on the floor with blood all over their body.

Her lips trembled in shock, tears flowed from her eyes when she saw the man who shot the people.

Her son was sitting on the bed with a gun in his hand while his eyes were wide open while looking at her.

"Mom?" Ken called her name. Bea shook her head, mixed emotion was flowing in her heart, she walked to his direction and hug him so tightly.

Ken embraced her back and shortly pulled himself and looked at her with confusion and fear.

"Mom, we need to leave it's too dangerous here. I will call Kuwan to assist us. Where's my phone?" His son spoke while changing his clothes.

Bea parted her lips in confusion, she tilted her head and asked; "Who's Kuwan?"

Ken looked at her direction while closing his shirt and replied, "He's my assistant"
