Infatuated with my Ex-wife

Chapter 99: Falling Into the Sea

Children were very sensitive to tense atmospheres. Charlotte burst into tears when she couldn't find

any familiar faces around her.

"What are you crying about?! You're still a baby, but you're exactly like your mother! Crying pitifully is

the only thing that you only know! What a nuisance!" Celine yelled.

Irene felt distressed when she heard her baby crying.

"Please, Celine! Let go of my child. She is innocent!" Irene cried.

Edward supported Irene and yelled, "What a vicious person you are! You would actually hurt a child!"

Edward signalled for his men to stop approaching Celine as he spoke.

At that moment, Celine took the opportunity to run past the security guards to the railing of the deck. If

she wasn't careful, both of them would fall into the water together.

Edward and Irene were shocked. What if something happened to Charlotte?!

"Don't move, Celine!" Edward yelled.

Celine grinned viciously when she saw the distress on Irene's face.

"Are you hurt, Irene? It makes me happy to see you so distressed! But this is nothing compared to the

pain I went through! Have you ever been concerned about how I felt when you snatched my man?"

Celine asked hatefully.

"What do you want?!" Edward yelled. He felt quite upset when he saw Irene's distress.

This happened because he failed to kill Celine. If she wasn't alive right now, none of this would've

happened. Not only had she ruined their wedding, but she had also kidnapped their child and

threatened to harm her! Their top priority was to ensure Charlotte's safety.

"Please, let go of my child! I'll do anything you want! I'm begging you, Celine!" Irene cried bitterly.

As a mother, Irene was more concerned about her child. In addition to that, Charlotte was born

prematurely. Irene was really worried about what Celine would do in her mentally unstable state.

"I want you to die!" Celine screamed.

"Hey! Celine, that's too extreme!" Edward shouted. He kept his eyes on Irene because he was afraid

she might do something foolish.

"Edward, don't worry. I'm not that stupid. I know Celine just wants to hurt me," Irene said in comfort.

Edward was relieved to hear her words.

"Celine! I'll be your hostage instead. Let Charlotte go," Irene said after she gave it some thought.

"Irene, did you forget what you've promised me?" Edward asked. He was upset. He knew how much

Celine hated Irene. What would she do if she got her hands on her?

"Alright!" Celine agreed. This was what she had been waiting for! Irene had always been her main

target!

However, she never got a chance to get close because people surrounded Irene constantly. Irene was

also very vigilant and there wasn't much Celine could do even if she got close. Therefore, Celine could

only kidnap her child.

As it turned out, she managed to get the result she wanted. Irene had played right into her hands.

In addition to mental torture, Celine wanted to torment Irene physically too. She wanted her to suffer

the same way she did when she was robbed of her man! Then she would finally get her revenge.

She wanted to tear them apart, so they would never meet anymore! If Celine couldn't have Edward,

neither could Irene! Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

Edward grew worried when he saw how readily Irene agreed. He didn't want to exchange Irene for

Charlotte.

He could easily have another child if he lost Charlotte, but what could he do if he lost his wife? Edward

would be unable to bear the pain. He didn't want to imagine a life without Irene. Perhaps he would live

like a zombie.

"Celine is mentally unstable right now. She isn't armed, and I'm not that weak. I can handle her. Don't

worry, I'll find a way to escape once I'm there. Everything will be fine as long as you keep watch," Irene

whispered.

"No. Your safety is not to be taken lightly," Edward said in disagreement.

"Are you guys done discussing? I might just change my mind if you keep me waiting!" Celine said

impatiently.

"Celine, you had better keep your word!" Irene said.

"Of course!" Celine said meaningfully.

Irene couldn't care less. She didn't want Celine to take back her words and hurt Charlotte, so she pried

Edward's arm off her and ran over to Celine.

"I'm sorry, Edward. I'm really worried about Charlotte," Irene said apologetically.

Edward couldn't stop her in time. He could only watch as she headed towards Celine.

"Irene!" Elio and Millicent yelled. Irene gave them a look of reassurance, steadily approaching Celine.

Celine had never thought about holding both of them hostage at once. After all, she was a weak

woman who was pregnant, so it wasn't so convenient. It would be difficult for her to threaten Irene while

holding Charlotte.

If Irene found a way to escape with her child, everything she had done would've been in vain!

Celine decided to wrap her arms around Irene's neck as she handed Charlotte over to the guards.

In fact, Celine wanted to kill both Irene and Charlotte at the same time. She had no intention of keeping

her promise. However, it wasn't the time for that. If she killed Irene now, she knew there was no way

Edward would let her go. It would complicate matters, and her plans to marry Edward would be

jeopardised.

Celine leaned against the railing with Irene. The vast ocean was right behind them.

"Be careful!" Edward yelled anxiously. He regretted not killing Celine beforehand. That way, this

wouldn't be happening.

"Look! Irene has chosen her child over you! What is there to love about a woman like her?!" Celine

asked proudly.

"I'm not like her! I will never leave you. Edward, come back to me. I can forgive you for the past. Let's

start over again, shall we?" Celine asked affectionately.

How unreasonable! She still thought he would return to her at this point. What a joke!

"Enough with your sick fantasies! Irene is ten thousand times better than you are!" Edward yelled

disdainfully.

"Edward! Don't you see what a horrible woman Irene is? Why are you still protecting her?" Celine

screamed with reddened eyes. Her grip on Irene's neck tightened and Irene couldn't breathe.

"Irene!" Edward shouted anxiously.

Edward was worried about Irene. There was no time to waste! He had to solve it as soon as possible!

Nobody knew what would happen if he waited for the perfect opportunity to come by.

Immediately, Edward signalled for the sniper to take action.

Celine wasn't aware that a sniper was aiming for her.

Edward didn't give the command to fire earlier because Celine was holding Charlotte, and she might

have used the baby as a shield. Perhaps she would even choose to die together with Charlotte.

Edward and Irene didn't want either scenario to happen.

Edward had informed Irene to watch out for a secret signal. She was to squat down immediately when

she saw the signal.

"Give up, Celine! It's no use! I will never fall for the likes of you! Irene is the only one for me! I love her

dearly!" Edward yelled, attracting Celine's attention.

Celine was enraged, and she lost her mind. She shouted, "I don't believe it! Edward, you must've been

bewitched by this woman! Once she dies, the spell will be broken, wouldn't it? Then we can spend our

days together forever!"

The sniper fired at Celine's heart.

At the same time, a particularly large wave rocked the cruise ship and knocked most people off

balance.

Celine and Irene almost fell because they were leaning against the railing. When Irene saw Edward's

signal, she quickly broke free from Celine's grip and squatted down while she was distracted by his

words.

A bullet tore through Celine's flesh, but it had missed her vitals because the ship swayed with the

waves. Celine was quick to react, and she decided to drag Irene with her since she was going to die.

She hugged Irene and was ready to jump into the sea, ready to perish together.

It was super dangerous for both of them. They could fall into the sea at any time! The sniper couldn't

get a good aim on Celine, so he couldn't fire another bullet.

Edward stepped forward in hurry and tried to grab Irene.

Celine suddenly changed her mind when she saw Edward approach them.

If she couldn't live together with him, she would die together with him.

She brought out a hidden dagger. Celine kept it hidden all this while because she thought Irene

wouldn't exchange herself for Charlotte if they saw she had a knife. Now was the perfect time to use it!

Celine let go of Irene and stabbed Edward just as he pulled Irene away. Celine held onto Edward's

body as tight as she could, and both of them plunged into the ocean together. It was too sudden.

Edward couldn't free himself from Celine's grip because he had just been stabbed, so he fell into the

ocean with her after being pushed over the railing.

Irene let out a heart-wrenching cry, "Edward!"

"I've won!" Celine thought.

...

Celine would drag Edward into the afterlife with the child in her belly. They would spend all of eternity

together in the afterlife. Irene wouldn't be able to interfere anymore!

Celine was happy to die in this manner. After all, a part of her had passed away when she lost Edward.

Everyone stared in disbelief. Celine had actually dragged Edward along with her. Didn't she profess her

love for him? What a creepy way of loving someone!

This was perhaps one of the most exciting weddings the guests had attended. The president of the

Wilson Group had fallen into the sea! Nobody expected this turn of events.

Madeline had a heart attack when she saw Charlotte being held as a hostage, and how Edward had

fallen into the ocean immediately afterwards. She didn't know if Edward was still alive. Claudia rushed

her into the infirmary and took care of her.
