Attracted By My Ex-wife

The AN Group was safe now, but Kevin still hadn't been found. Even Kim, who was sure that Kevin had died during the duel couldn't help but feel nervous now.

Although Mount YS was a dangerous place, there were no beasts or wild animals that might have eaten the corpse. He couldn't understand why they hadn't found Kevin's body yet.

Late at one night, Kim was standing on the top floor, sipping on red wine. A frown lined his forehead.

It had been two weeks since Kevin had gone missing, but Sam and his team hadn't stopped their searching spree. They were still looking for him everywhere.

Kim's plan would end in vain if the man was still alive.

The thought frightened him. He took out the phone from his pocket and called Anne.

The woman had been suffering from insomnia ever since Kevin had gone missing -- she couldn't sleep even for a second. Anne was staring at the ceiling, thinking about her husband. Just then, her phone blared, breaking her train of thoughts.

She frowned, wondering who would call her at this hour.

The name on the caller ID sent a shiver down her spine. Her body stiffened.

Kim hadn't contacted her after she had promised to marry him. However, his unexpected call at this hour made her think of the worst.

She rubbed her forehead and finally answered the call.

"Anne, I have given you two weeks. I can't wait any longer. We will register our marriage in three days!" Kim said menacingly, without any room for discussion.

"Why are you in such a hurry?" Anne asked in shock.

"I have given you two whole weeks to look for Kevin, but there is still no information about him. It has been two weeks since the man fell off the cliff. Do you think he would have come to you if he were still alive? He is dead! Don't you understand that? I can't wait any longer!" he barked.

Anne's heart sank. At first, she was sure that everything was Kevin's plan. However, the man hadn't tried contacting her.

Anne loved Kevin with all her heart, and she knew that he loved her too.

Kevin knew that she would be worried to death if he went missing for a long time.

She couldn't understand why he hadn't bothered contacting her. Why was he hiding?

"It has only been two weeks since Kevin has gone missing. The Civil Affairs Bureau won't file a divorce," said Anne. "It will take at least two years."

Kim guffawed as if he had heard the stupidest thing in the world. "A golden key can open any door. You don't need to worry about all that. I'll wait for you at the gate of the Civil Affairs Bureau at 9 a.m. tomorrow!"

He hung up the call, leaving no chance for her to answer.

The mayor had accepted Brandon as his son-in-law. The people in the city respected him. With the boy's help, Kim could get whatever he wanted without any hassle.

Anne clutched her phone and closed her eyes. Her body began to tremble as fear wracked her nerves. However, she didn't shed a drop of tear.

'Kevin, did you hear what he said? If I don't marry him, Kim will acquire our company and tear it apart.

I'm afraid that he'd do something crazy. I have no choice but to marry him.

Where on earth are you now? Will you come back to me or not?' Anne could only cry to herself. A thousand questions swarmed her head every day, but she couldn't find the answer to any.

Anne sighed and poured herself a glass of brandy. She opened the curtains and looked out of the window.
