Ex Husband Wants Me Back: He Regretted It After I Left The shot that everything changed
Chapter 18The rain fell harder.Cold droplets lashed against the rooftop, soaking everyone within seconds. The wind howled between the towering skyscrapers, carrying the smell of smoke and burning concrete from the floors below.Ashley remained on the ground, protected beneath Dominic’s body as another sniper round struck the rooftop with a deafening crack.Bang!Concrete exploded only a few feet away.Fragments flew through the air like tiny knives.Dominic instinctively wrapped his arm around Ashley’s head, shielding her from the debris.“Don’t move,” he ordered.Ashley looked at the blood running down the side of his forehead.“You’re hurt.”“It’s nothing.”“It isn’t nothing.”“Ashley.”His voice was calm despite the chaos surrounding them.“Look at me.”She did.“If I tell you to run…”He paused, making sure she understood every word.“you don’t stop for anyone.”Even me.He didn’t say the last part aloud.But Ashley heard it anyway.Her heart tightened painfully.“No.”Dominic f

Chapter 17The explosion ripped through the lower floors with such force that the rooftop trembled beneath their feet.Ashley instinctively covered her ears as another deafening blast echoed from inside the building.Boom!The glass railing surrounding the rooftop shattered into thousands of glittering fragments.Smoke billowed upward, swallowing the night sky.Below them, terrified guests poured out of the hotel’s main entrance, screaming as security guards struggled to keep order.Car alarms wailed across the street.Within seconds, Manhattan’s skyline was painted with the flashing red and blue lights of police cruisers and fire engines racing toward the hotel.Ashley stared over the edge in horror.“Oh my God…”Dominic had already shifted into action.He pressed two fingers against the communication device hidden inside his ear.“Status.”Only static answered.His expression darkened.“Alpha Team, respond.”Nothing.“Bravo Team.”Silence.Then, after several agonizing seconds, a we
Ex Husband Wants Me Back: He Regretted It After I Left The lie between us
Chapter 16The rooftop fell deathly silent.Only the sound of the wind swept across the towering skyscrapers, carrying with it the distant wail of police sirens far below.Ashley stood rooted to the spot.Her trembling gaze remained fixed on Dominic.Patrick’s words echoed relentlessly inside her mind.“The operation that destroyed her family… was approved by Dominic.”No.It couldn’t be true.The man who had stayed beside her hospital bed for months…The man who celebrated the day she took her first step after years in a wheelchair…The man who had risked his own life countless times to protect her…He couldn’t be responsible for destroying hers.Slowly, Ashley looked into Dominic’s eyes.“Tell me he’s lying.”Her voice was barely above a whisper.Dominic didn’t answer.His grip on the pistol tightened until his knuckles turned white.“Dominic…”She took one hesitant step toward him.“Please.”His lips parted.Then closed again.Patrick gave a soft chuckle.“Silence is sometimes more
Ex Husband Wants Me Back: He Regretted It After I Left The chairman’s offer
Chapter 15The elevator doors slid shut with a soft chime.Ashley stood frozen.Across from her, Patrick Walker smiled politely, as though they were two old acquaintances meeting for afternoon tea instead of strangers caught in the middle of a deadly conspiracy.Neither of them spoke.The elevator continued its slow ascent.Ashley kept her back against the polished steel wall, her heartbeat thundering in her ears.She had imagined this moment many times.The mysterious man whose name Dominic had spoken with such caution.The chairman.The man connected to Adrian.The man whose arrival had shaken even the legendary Ice God.Yet Patrick Walker looked nothing like the monster Ashley had expected.He appeared calm.Cultured.Refined.His silver hair was neatly combed back, and the expensive navy suit he wore fit him perfectly. A gold watch rested comfortably on his wrist, while a walking cane with a carved ebony handle remained tucked beneath one arm.Everything about him radiated dignity
Ex Husband Wants Me Back: He Regretted It After I Left The truth hidden in the flames
Chapter 14Ashley’s fingers trembled as she stared at the message glowing on the hotel phone.Come to the rooftop alone if you want the truth about your parents’ deaths.For several long seconds, she couldn’t breathe.The room around her seemed to disappear.All she could hear was the pounding of her own heartbeat.“My parents…” she whispered.Her voice cracked.“They died in a car accident.”Dominic remained silent.Ashley slowly turned to face him.“They did… didn’t they?”His silence answered her before his lips ever moved.Ashley’s chest tightened painfully.“No.”She shook her head repeatedly.“No… don’t do this.”Dominic closed his eyes briefly.“I was hoping you’d never receive that message.”Her eyes widened.“You knew?”He didn’t deny it.“You knew the truth this whole time?”“I knew parts of it.”Ashley laughed bitterly, though tears had already begun gathering in her eyes.“Five years.”Her voice echoed through the destroyed hotel suite.“Five years you stayed beside me.”“
Ex Husband Wants Me Back: He Regretted It After I Left The chairman’s game
Chapter 13The polished marble floor of the Grand Crescent Hotel reflected the glow of the crystal chandeliers as Patrick Walker stepped out of the elevator.His movements were slow and deliberate, yet every person in the lobby instinctively lowered their heads as he passed.Power had a presence.And Patrick Walker carried it effortlessly.The seventy-year-old billionaire looked every bit the respectable businessman the world admired. His silver hair was neatly combed, his navy suit impeccably tailored, and his expression radiated the calm confidence of a man who had spent decades building an empire.To the public, he was a philanthropist.A visionary.One of America’s most influential entrepreneurs.Only a handful of people knew the monster hiding behind the polished smile.Behind him walked six bodyguards dressed in identical black suits.One of them stepped closer.“Chairman, the police have secured the twenty-third floor.”Patrick smiled faintly.“Police are only useful when they
