Attracted By My Ex-wife

Chapter 509 Be On The Alert (Part One)

At the moment, Ella was sound asleep upstairs. She opened her eyes slowly. Her beautiful, doe-like eyes were puffy and red, slightly swollen, and had dark circles under them. It was clear she had cried herself to sleep. However, this did not detract from her natural loveliness.

She picked up her cell phone, glanced at the clear blue sky outside her window, and dialed Colin's number.

Although Anne had told her that dreams were usually far from reality, Ella needed to make sure what she had just seen in her dream was not true.

Hearing each successive ring on the phone made Ella's little heart flutter with nerves that it was not being answered. She felt scared and helpless.

One ring after the other, it was like a death march. Her heart, which had been beating gently having just awakened from slumber, began to race, thudding against her chest as if it were trying to escape her body. She could not hide the fear from her face and she eventually heard the cold, monotonous female voice on the other end of the line.

"Sorry, the subscriber you have dialed is not available." No one answered.

What did this mean?

Since Ella was still young, Colin worried about her when he went away on his long business trips. He gave her a private number to call, that was just for her, so that he was just a call away in case she ever needed him. He never turned this phone off and was always available to Ella on this line.

But now...

The feeling of dread began to overcome her. She immediately jumped out of her bed and dialed another number that her father used. The same result ensued. No answer.
