OMG!!! My Crippled Husband is a Hot, Powerful CEO-Chapter 191 - I promise to get you out of there

Alex, a pregnant woman, has a lot of tricks up her sleeve," Joanna tried to convince him.

After watching how he desperately tried to protect her and how he watched over her all this while, there should be something she could do to save the situation.

"I’m not as naive as you both see me. You could find a way to buy over that hacker as soon as Logan thinks he has won and plant a tracker on me or something," she suggested, annoyed to be doing the thinking for a man she has come to know as Salvatore.

Alex sighed. He hadn’t thought of ways to ensure her safety because he never considered meeting Logan’s demand, and things would have been different if it involved Violet.

The fact that Joanna was pregnant made it hard for him to accept this challenge but he could use this to his advantage to request for 3E.

However, his silence on the matter made Joanna furious, and she yelled, "Have you lost your mind? Is this how you work as a CEO? Did your solution mind get eaten by love?" She began hitting his chest, trying her best to wake him from his thoughts, which she felt were far away.

"Why would you allow Logan to destroy the company because of me when we can work together to save it?" Her last question awoke Alex from whatever reservations he had before, and he reluctantly agreed.

Being his wife, she had the right to be by his side during good or bad times, and this time required it. "Okay, but you would have to do whatever I tell you," he said seriously, his mind gearing into a thinking mode once again.

Joanna nodded eagerly, happy that he could trust her. Alex called Dario on the phone and gave him instructions. "Logan hired a hacker to crash my server. My wife is the bait."

Dario understood the complications of the matter, and the fact that the boss’s wife was pregnant made him nervous. "Sir, do you want her sister to protect her? I trust Beauty’s capabilities, and besides, she’s young and innocent. No one would suspect her."

Alex had to weigh his options. His objective was to save and not complicate matters further. Even if Nancy was as good as Dario was saying, she still lacked experience.

"Unless you are going to look after them both, I won’t trust a person without experience." Dario smiled from the end of the line. "Of course, there is no way I would leave them to themselves. We can set two trackers on your wife. A traceable and non-traceable one. When she reaches her destination, they would find the traceable one and deactivate it.

Once we get the signal from our end, we can wait for five minutes before activating the non-traceable one," Dario laid out his plan, and Alex agreed.

For as long as there was a way to keep an eye on his wife, he would do so without much thought.

"Alright. I will set up the trackers before we arrange for her to go."

"Alex, what’s going on?" Aiden arrived as asked, the same time Alex was ending the call.

When his gaze landed on Violet, the two embraced as he asked her, "Are you alright?" Then he turned to the old man seated over a glass of water.

At a time like this, grandpa could not take in anything except water. "Good day, grandpa."

"Aiden, how are you?" The old man asked, Aiden nodded. "I was fine before I got here so Alex, what’s the problem?"

Alex stared at Aiden and responded. "Don’t worry. Violet is safe, and we only have to think about how to keep Joanna safe."

"Why does it sound like there is something going on?" Aiden was looking around as he asked. Alex explained everything, but he was upset.

"Your brother is becoming more powerful and dangerous by the day. I don’t think he’s operating alone. Alex, you have to be careful, and I won’t send my pregnant wife if I were you."

Alex knew the risks involved in such things and agreed with Aiden, yet Joanna interrupted them. "If you two are smart, then you would figure ways to get me out of there after saving the server. Stop wasting time."

Aiden couldn’t convince her if Alex couldn’t, so he sighed. "Fine. I will get the trackers from the car." He returned with a brooch and a glass of water.

He pinned the brooch on the top of Joanna’s dress and typed a few things on his phone. "That’s activated." Then he gave her the glass of water. "You have to drink this, but after three days, it would be out of your system through urine."

"Will it affect my baby?" Joanna asked, Aiden refused. "No. It’s not harmful, but wait. You drink it as soon as we are ready to make the trade."

Alex took grandpa’s phone and sent Logan a text message. ’This is Alex. I’m trading Joanna with 3E.’

The response was prompt. ’Tsk, tsk, tsk. So much for claiming you love her. You’re ready to trade your wife and unborn child for money.’

Alex texted back. ’It was as Violet said. We are headed for divorce, and the only thing keeping us together is the baby. Joan has agreed to give up the baby after divorce, so that’s your niece or nephew too.’

When Joan read the message, an idea came to mind. She would inform Logan about how the marriage was a contract all along to play by what Alex had started.

’Move her to the helipad on your office building. A chopper will be there in five minutes.’

Alex fought back his tears and kissed Joanna for one minute straight before allowing her to drink the water. He cupped her face in the palm of his hands and spoke.

"I promise to get you out of there before anything bad happens to you but do whatever it takes to survive do you understand?" Joanna nodded but her response numbed him.
