Book 2 In Hijacking, My Husband Chose His Mistress
As the plane descended into chaos, I instinctively held my breath.
I grabbed the hand of the medical attendant, Lily Houle, who was with us.
But when the hijacker asked, “Who is Howard Soto’s wife?” she forcefully yanked her hand away from mine.
She raised both hands high and shouted, “I know, I know! I know who Howard’s wife is!”
“If I tell you, will you let me go?”
Her actions left me speechless. I reacted without thinking, desperately trying to cover her mouth.

But it was too late.
A few of the hijackers, having heard her words, quickly pinpointed her location and made their way toward us.
Lily was pulled out of her seat.
After giving me a cautious glance, she shrank back, raising a trembling finger.
“She’s Howard’s wife.”
“If you’ve captured her, will you let the rest of us go?”
Her self–righteous display succeeded in getting her off the hook.
Other passengers joined in, shouting, “Yes,
yes!”

“She’s the one you want, not us! We have nothing to do with this!”
Some, seeing my pregnant belly, spoke with pity. “It looks like she’s about to give birth.”
“Whatever happens, can it wait until after she gives birth? The child is innocent.”
Many passengers agreed, and the cabin was filled with shouting and arguing.
But I couldn’t hear any of it. My eyes were locked on Lily in disbelief.
She was the girl I had raised from childhood, the one I had supported and promoted.
I could have never imagined anyone betraying me–but especially not her.

The truth hit me like a slap to the face.
At that moment, the lead hijacker, having heard the news, arrived,.
He shouted for silence, and the whole cabin quieted down.
His eyes swept over me, scrutinizing me for a long moment.
When he saw my pregnant belly, he
instinctively glanced at Lily.
“How is she a pregnant woman? You’re not trying to deceive me, are you?”
Lily quickly shook her head, explaining, “No, I swear, she’s really Wendy.”
The hijacker was skeptical and insisted on binding both of us together to find Howard.

Lily grew frantic, struggling in the hijacker’s. grip, swearing that she was telling the truth.
Seeing he remained unmoved, she turned to me, tears streaming down her face.
“Wendy, I just graduated! I’ve never had a boyfriend, and my parents are waiting for me at home.”
“Unlike you, who’s already married and knows what it’s like to be a mother.”
“Please, help me… please.”
Her words, coming from the mouth of a young girl, stirred something in me.
But as I remembered her cold, unwavering betrayal, disappointment flooded me, and I couldn’t bring myself to respond.

Lily became increasingly desperate.
Her innocent, sweet demeanor from all these years crumbled, and she lashed out.
“Wendy, you’re nothing but a wicked woman. No wonder the child in your womb will face retribution!”
The moment I heard those words, my eyes burned with anger, and I turned away, wishing I could strangle her.
The hijacker held me tighter, his tone impatient. “Quiet down. Whatever you have to say, say it later”
“We’re here for money, not lives!”
A small relief washed over me.

Howard, having heard the announcement, rushed over at that moment.
When the hijackers saw him, they immediately untied my hands, replacing the ropes with a knife pressed against my throat.
But Howard seemed not to notice me at all. His eyes were filled with desperation as he fixed his gaze on Lily.
“Let her go. She’s innocent!”
His
response caught me off guard, and for a moment, I stood frozen.
Lily, on the other hand, was moved to tears, repeatedly shouting, “Howard, save me!”
It was then that Howard glanced at me briefly, his face expressionless as he turned to the hijacker leader.

“What will it take for you to let them go?”
Before the hijacker could respond, Lily shouted, cutting him off.
“Howard, they want money. If you give them the money, they’ll release us.”
The hijacker nodded in agreement with Lily.
The entire cabin fell silent, the tension so thick that one could hear a pin drop. Howard’s gaze lingered on me, his expression unreadable.
When the hijacker finally spoke up again to urge him to act, Howard asked, “How much?”
The hijacker grinned coldly, holding up one finger.

“Ten million!”
Before Howard could nod in agreement, the hijacker added, “Per person.”
The amount was exactly the total liquid assets that Howard and I could scrape together in such a short time.
A sense of relief washed over me.
I was about to ask him to pay for my release, to ensure the safety of the child.
But Howard, in his haste, was already pointing at Lily.
“I’ll give you the money. Just let her go first”
