My Accidental Husband Is My Revenge Partner - Chapter 242

Chapter 242: Comeback
“Franco Quinn is involved with the human trafficking ring, which means he’s a serious threat. He made the reckless decision to sell his own daughter to them just to settle his debt,” Xavier summarized, his voice steady but grim.

“But remember, we’re talking about Allison’s father here. If you kill him, she’s going to be the one hurt the most by all of this,” he reminded his brother, a warning laced in his tone. Xavier knew the stakes, but he also understood the deep emotional consequences that could follow.

Kace huffed a breath before he tore his gaze away from Xavier. He nodded in understanding. He couldn’t go killing off a man just like that. He had other ways to punish the middle-aged man for his actions.

They continued to search the house, making sure there was no one left behind.

They’d gotten an intel earlier, informing them about a new location where minors were being groomed before they were selected to be traded.

Hoping they would finally find their mortal enemy, he turned out to be not in the house with them.

When they exited the house completely, they set it ablaze, burning the dead bodies along with it. They weren’t afraid to do so since the government wouldn’t dare to question them for setting one of their properties ablaze since they weren’t doing their job well by keeping their citizens safe.

If they did, Xavier and his men wouldn’t have left their city to come save them.

In the following days that passed, Kace informed Allison of what he was doing at that hideout, feeding her on the kind of work he was involved in, but making sure not to give her too much information that would probably mark her a target by his enemies.

Within that time, Kace found Mr. Quinn at a bar with two ladies by his side. One stretching his beard and playing with it at the same time, the other running her hands up his thighs.

Without caring if they were in public, Kace pulled him up from his chair and dragged him out of the bar, making him pay for what he’d done to Allison.

Regarding Olivia, Kace manipulated the board of directors of the college to expel both Olivia and Derek permanently.

Sadly for them, their graduation was around the corner. Kace also made sure no college, be it from Radiantia or any other city, would accept them as their student.

“You want to go back to being an actress?” Kace asked Anastasia, half of his attention on the sports game playing on the TV and the other half on her.

“Yup!” She nodded enthusiastically. “Do you remember Director Jeunes? He had a movie proposal for me, so he gave me a role. I already miss being on set with my coworkers, reading scripts, and saying my lines…”

She let out a long sigh, her eyes closing as she allowed herself to relive those moments. The memories of the excitement, the camaraderie, and the creative energy on set filled her with a sense of nostalgia.

She’d not thought about going back to her main career of being an actress since she reclaimed all of her properties and got her revenge. The problems with the shareholders, Michelle, and finding new investors completely took all of her time and shining on stage never crossed her mind again until now.

“What about your company? Who’s going to be in charge?” Kace asked.

“Leo will. I know he’s capable and I trust he can handle the company well. When I’m less busy, I can go check thing over there,” she explained.

Kace simply nodded, stuffing his mouth with another load of popcorn which got Anastasia thinking, ‘Does he love popcorn that much?’

“How’s Allison? Is she feeling better now?” She asked with concern laced in her tone.

“Much better than before,” he reassured. “We’re dating now,” he announced, which didn’t take Ana by surprise at all.

“Took you long enough,” she commented. Without warning, she smacked him on the head. “I’m happy for you bro.”

Kace shot her a side glare, but a small smile tugged at the corner of his lips.

“Kael!! Kace finally got a girlfriend, when are you getting one?!!” She yelled loud enough for Kael to hear from the kitchen.

“I’m not getting one!!” He yelled back.

“That brother of yours is pretty shy,” Kace whispered to Ana.

“I heard that!!” Kael snapped, and the duo burst into laughter.

Xavier came down the stairs, took a seat beside Ana, and gently pulled her close. He pressed a tender kiss to her forehead before lifting her chin, his eyes meeting hers for a moment, and then softly pecked her on the lips.

“Urgh!! Do you have to do this here?” Kace mumbled, glaring at the both of them.

Hearing his complaint, Xavier purposely deepened the kiss.

“Alright, I’m outta here.” Kace carried his popcorn and walked off to the kitchen.

“Congrats on your new movie contract,” Xavier said, pulling out a box from his hand and handing it over to her.

With excitement, Anastasia opened the box and saw the prettiest diamond necklace she’d ever seen before.

Although she’d been the brand ambassador for so many brands, Anastasia couldn’t compare the diamond necklaces she’d seen them produce with the one Xavier gave to her.

It was elegantly adorned with clear, sparkling diamonds, each one perfectly set to catch the light. At the center, a striking ruby diamond commanded attention. Its deep, luxurious color stood out brilliantly against the surrounding stones.

“Thank you so much—-”

Her appreciation was muffled when a kiss was planted on her lips.

“I’ve told you to stop thanking me.”

Xavier took the necklace and wore it around her neck.

“You look beautiful,” he complimented.

Allison had to bite her lips to stop the butterflies fluttering in her stomach.

“I feel like barfing now.” Both of them heard from the kitchen.

“Don’t barf when I’m cooking, go somewhere else,” Kael ordered, in his casual fit with an apron protecting his clothes.

Kace glared at Kael before kicking the latter on the butt.

Together, they entered the kitchen to continue whatever Kael was cooking.

Anastasia pulled out her phone to take a proper look at the cast of the movie she was starring in.

She continued to scroll, but paused when her eyes landed on a familiar name.

‘Viviana Perez?’ She wondered, collectively remembering the name sounded familiar. ‘It can’t be that Viviana, right?’
