Attracted By My Ex-wife

Everyone was under the impression that police would solve the case quickly since they had found clues and evidence, but it seemed that the case was not as simple as everyone had thought it to be.

They were all gangsters, and each of them was involved with homicide. They were brilliant at not leaving a single trace behind because the moment they had left the alley; they had dispersed in different directions, leaving no evidence of their presence.

And even if they did accidentally leave a trace behind, it would have been erased quickly, as if erasing a pencil mark with an eraser.

The case's complexity made even the police's brows crease with frustration, but there was nothing that they could do.

At the hospital, Sam appointed new bodyguards for Kevin's protection and instructed them to guard him 24X7.

Kevin had refused to be guarded initially. He was content with having Anne by his side, but when Sam had told him about the dangers that might crop up if the former wasn't protected and that Anne might end up getting hurt, Kevin had begrudgingly consented.

Kevin was recovering steadily, courtesy to Sam who was a brilliant doctor.

The DG of police had visited Kevin in person. After talking to him for some time, he looked at Anne.

He opened his mouth and closed it again. He looked flustered, and that perplexed Anne as well as Kevin.

"Sir, you can say whatever you wish to. There's no outsider in this room. Therefore, you don't need to refrain yourself," Anne said politely.

The director looked at Kevin who nodded reassuringly. He sighed heavily and said helplessly, "That group of people can establish an underworld empire in a society ruled by law. They are extremely shrewd." He shook his head in dismay. "We can't find them now. It seems as if their very existence had vanished into thin air."

The couple knew this from beforehand but they did not interrupt the director and let him continue speaking.

"You had promised them to get Kim out at that time. I want to use him as a bait and lure them out of their den," the director said to Anne.

Kevin was injured and confined to the bed due to which Anne was the only option available. The only person who would be able to help the police now.

Anne looked at Kevin. After a moment of silence, he looked at the director and said thoughtfully, "I have heard that Kim is literally worshipped by those men and they are loyal to him. Therefore, it's a good idea to use him as a bait. But you will have to wait until my legs recover completely."

Kevin was quick-witted and it didn't take him long to understand that the police was eager to do something about the case and was getting impatient, but he also knew that the director would want to involve Anne in this and he wouldn't let that happen.

The director didn't say anything. He looked at Anne who averted her gaze.

When he saw that even Anne didn't wish to agree to his proposal, he sighed. "All right. I'll wait a few more days." The director had no choice but to agree with Kevin.

After the director left, Kevin let out a breath and murmured, "It's good that he came to meet. Otherwise, I would have gone to meet him."

Anne smiled knowingly. She knew that even Kevin wanted to see the end of this case. She was also thankful to him for not letting her get involved in this.

The day of Kim's execution was drawing near, which was making the group more restless with each passing day, and they were starting to get desperate and in that desperations they might do anything. What Kevin and others had planned to do was to use their desperation to defeat them.
