My Mommy Is A CEO

In the midst of the palm grove, Jacob ran desperately forward with sweat pouring down his face, but his complexion was pale. His bodyguard pulled Lucia along behind him as they ran, but their speed slowed down as Lucia couldn’t keep up. Her hands were tied behind her back and she had lost her balance, making it impossible for her to run fast.

Just over ten minutes had passed when Lucia fell down, and her long skirt had already been torn by the palm trees. Her two slender legs were covered in small, fine scars.

“Mr. Wood!” The bodyguard called out to Jacob as he continued running ahead, and then crouched down with difficulty to help Lucia up.

Jacob turned around and saw Lucia fall. At this moment, he had no sympathy or compassion in his heart. He only wanted to save himself. He ran back in a rage and cursed,

“Are you trying to kill me?!”

Lucia finally stood firm and gave Jacob a cold glance when she heard his words. Her bodyguard beside her explained for her.

“Mr. Wood, it’s really inconvenient for Miss to run like this. Shall we unlock the handcuffs first?”

“No way!”

Lucia’s skills made Jacob extremely wary. If he let go of her, he knew he would end up dead at her hands before Arthur and the others caught up. However, seeing that Lucia was indeed not able to move freely, he could only angrily instruct the bodyguards to hold her on both sides,

“We took her and ran.”

After making the necessary preparations, Jacob took a step forward and the bodyguards followed suit. It was more like they were dragging Lucia along rather than leading her. Her shoes were long gone, and her feet were covered in bruises, even more terrifying than the injuries on her calves.

But Lucia didn’t cry out in pain. She hung her head low, lost in thought about something.

Jacob didn’t have the time to worry about what Lucia was thinking anymore. He ran forward in a panic, searching for any place within his line of sight where he could hide. Unknowingly, he was slowly running towards the sea cliff. Although it was far from the coastline, there was a small bay ahead with beautiful scenery. However, because there was no way to access the sea due to steep cliffs everywhere, it had been abandoned by locals for development purposes.

Imagine that although Jacob and the bodyguard were physically fit, it was impossible for them to run fast with Lucia as a “burden”. As they ran, Jacob suddenly looked back and saw the trees shaking about fifty meters away from him. Obviously, someone was chasing after them.

“Run faster, they are about to catch up!”

The bodyguard was full of resentment, not only because he was stuck in a dangerous situation with Jacob, but also because he was constantly being urged by him. His face showed an unwilling expression.

Lucia noticed the bodyguard’s thoughts, and as the most relaxed person at that moment, she suddenly turned to him and said,

“Do you still want to listen to him when it has come to this point? To tell you the truth, every person chasing after us is a skilled professional bodyguard. Do you think you can still survive if you continue to follow Jacob?”

Unexpectedly, Lucia actually tried to steal Jacob’s thunder. Furious, Jacob shouted at the bodyguard,

“Don’t listen to her nonsense. We have a boat waiting at the beach. Once we escape on it, I guarantee a life of luxury and prosperity for the rest of your days!”

People are greedy by nature. After listening to this, the bodyguard was indeed tempted. After all, he had already witnessed Jacob’s wealth and power before.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.

Lucia sneered at the words and didn’t hesitate to expose the truth, “No matter how much wealth and prosperity one has, they still need to have a good life, don’t they?”

“You fucking shut up!” Jacob’s face turned red with anger. Even though there were pursuers behind him, he couldn’t help but stop and slap Lucia in the face.

“Even now, you’re still thinking of how to kill me!”

With her face swollen and turned to the side from the blow, Lucia’s peripheral vision still clung tightly to Jacob, refusing to yield or submit!

In just a few seconds after they stopped, the pursuers behind them caught up. They could almost hear their shouts. Jacob, in a panic, grabbed Lucia’s arm again and shouted at the bodyguard,

“What the fuck are you hesitating for?! Stopping now means death. Take a chance and there might still be hope. Go!”

The bodyguard hesitated for a moment but was convinced by Jacob to help him hold Lucia hostage and they started running forward.

Behind him, Arthur could already see the figures of Lucia and her two companions. His heart was pounding rapidly from the high-intensity running, with each beat causing a sharp pain.

As far as his eyes could see, he noticed that Lucia was actually being dragged as they ran… her legs…

In fact, as they chased after her, they had already seen some of Lucia’s clothes torn off on the branches of the palm trees. Occasionally, on the narrow stone path, they could spot some fresh bloodstains, leaving no doubt as to who was responsible.

“Jacob!” Arthur finally let out a loud scream from the bottom of his heart, “I will never forgive you!”

The roar echoed through the sky, and Jacob naturally heard it. His heart trembled, his hands shook, and he almost couldn’t hold onto Lucia’s hand. Lucia heard the unmistakable voice and her eyes suddenly turned red. She struggled to turn her head back and saw Arthur in the dimly lit trees.

“Arthur…” Lucia called out, her voice coming from the deepest depths of her heart.

Jacob heard Lucia’s voice, and for some reason, even though their situation was so perilous, a wave of sadness washed over him. He had planned to take Lucia away and slowly wear down her hatred with time. She had loved him before, and he hoped that one day they could rekindle that love. But in this moment, he realized clearly that it was impossible…

After the sorrowful choking came anger, and the accumulation of that anger turned into intense hatred and resentment. Jacob turned his head to Lucia, gasping for breath, and stared at her as he said,

“Lucia, if I die today, don’t even think about living! We can still be husband and wife in the underworld!”

Lucia coldly laughed at the words and turned to look at Jacob, whose face was covered in sweat but pale. She said each word deliberately,

“I am confident that with my righteous and pure heart, I will ascend to heaven after death. As for you, Jacob, you are destined to fall into hell! Even in death, our paths are fated to diverge!”

Jacob stared at Lucia, not knowing what words to use to resist her determination.
