Ex Husband Wants Me Back: He Regretted It After I Left The devil’s labyrinth
Chapter 23Patrick Walker’s smile lingered long after the hatch slammed shut.His bodyguards exchanged uneasy glances.One finally broke the silence.“Chairman… should we send another team into the tunnels?”Patrick slowly turned his cane in his hand.“No.”The guard frowned.“But sir, Marcus Hale is with them.”“I know.”“And Ashley Wellspring.”“I know.”“The evidence they’re carrying”Patrick raised a hand, silencing him.“You still don’t understand.”He walked toward the edge of the pier, staring at the restless water below.“Those tunnels were never meant to protect Jonathan Wellspring.”The bodyguards listened carefully.“They were designed as a maze.”“A maze?” one asked.Patrick chuckled.“A beautiful one.”His cold eyes reflected the harbor lights.“And every maze has only one exit.”He smiled.“They’re walking toward it.”Meanwhile…The heavy metal hatch closed above them with a deafening clang.Darkness swallowed everything.Ashley instinctively tightened her grip around Do

Chapter 22Dominic saw the sniper pull the trigger.Everything happened in less than a second.The red laser sight trembled against Ashley’s chest.The sniper’s finger tightened.The rifle fired.Bang!Dominic moved before he could think.“ASHLEY!”He lunged forward with every ounce of strength he had left.Ashley felt a powerful force slam into her side as Dominic tackled her to the wet concrete.The bullet sliced through the air where she had been standing a heartbeat earlier.Instead of striking Ashley…It hit Dominic.A sharp gasp escaped his lips.Ashley’s eyes widened in horror.“Dominic!”Blood spread quickly across his shoulder, dark against the rain soaked fabric of his black jacket.For one terrifying moment, Ashley forgot the snipers, the harbor, the stolen page, and every secret surrounding them.All she could see was Dominic lying beside her.Bleeding.Because he had protected her.Again.The masked stranger reacted instantly.He grabbed Ashley by the arm and pulled both
Ex Husband Wants Me Back: He Regretted It After I Left Before the truth escaped
Chapter 21The harbor erupted into chaos.Gunfire echoed across the docks, drowning out the terrified screams of the workers who had been secretly held inside the cargo containers. The fog that had once blanketed the pier was now illuminated by muzzle flashes and the rotating lights of distant police boats racing toward the scene.Ashley stood frozen.The torn page…It was gone.Her father’s final confession the truth he had died to protect had vanished into the darkness.“No…” she whispered.Her voice was swallowed by another volley of gunfire.Dominic’s hand closed firmly around her wrist.“We’re moving.”Ashley resisted.“But the page”“It can still be recovered.”“What if we lose it forever?”Dominic’s expression remained calm, but his eyes were scanning every rooftop, every container, every moving shadow.“We won’t.”His certainty surprised her.“How can you be so sure?”“Because the man who stole it didn’t destroy it.”Ashley frowned.“You don’t know that.”“I know people.”His
Ex Husband Wants Me Back: He Regretted It After I Left The secret written in blood
Chapter 20The rain had stopped.A thick blanket of fog rolled across the New York Harbor, swallowing the distant skyline until the city looked like nothing more than blurred lights floating in darkness.Towering cargo cranes stood silently above the docks like giant metal skeletons.The harbor, usually alive with workers and cargo ships, had become eerily deserted.Only one vessel remained.A massive black cargo ship anchored several hundred meters from the pier.No company logo.No registration number.No national flag.It was a ghost ship.And tonight…It had become the center of a deadly game.Inside a speeding black SUV…Dominic’s eyes remained fixed on the glowing tracker mounted on the dashboard.The blinking red dot continued moving.Closer.Closer.Then…It stopped.Pier 17.Ashley tightened her grip on the seatbelt.“We’re here?”Dominic nodded.“They’re waiting.”“For us?”“For everyone.”Ashley frowned.“I don’t understand.”Dominic slowed the vehicle several blocks away f
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
Ex Husband Wants Me Back: He Regretted It After I Left Ashley’s POV
CHAPTER 17 (The Woman Who Refused to Disappear) “…Did you miss me?” The world stopped. Rain drummed against the roof of the SUV, but suddenly I couldn’t hear it anymore. I couldn’t hear the bodyguards shouting. I couldn’t hear Lucas barking orders through his radio. All I could hear… Was her voice. Elena. Standing less than twenty feet away. Alive. Beautiful. Elegant. Exactly the same as she had looked five years ago. A tailored black coat hugged her figure, while a matching umbrella shielded her from the rain. Her long dark hair rested perfectly over one shoulder, untouched by the storm surrounding her. She smiled. Not warmly. Not cruelly. Confidently. Like someone who had already won. My fingers tightened around the edge of my seat until my knuckles turned white. “No…” The word escaped my lips before I could stop it. “It can’t be…” Dominic immediately noticed the panic spreading across my face. He turned slightly toward me. “You know her.” It wasn’t a ques
