Lucy McClaine had always known how to take advantage of a situation. Her heart had been shattered after discovering that the man she secretly loved had married another woman—a woman she considered far beneath her—a mere waitress at the five-star hotel restaurant, Estrela. Since then, something inside Lucy had slowly changed. The shy, awkward girl who used to hide behind oversized glasses and plain clothes was now transforming into someone entirely differ

Ex-Wife, You Are Mine! Chapter 162. War Is Not Over
"James, we have to end this," Joona called out to him. Furious and beyond frustrated, James charged forward, continuing to spray bullets into the enemy."AAAAHH!" He tackled a gangster who had breached the interior, slamming into him at full speed before brutally taking him out with two shots to the head. Without missing a beat, he grabbed another gangster's head, twisting it violently, and kept firing until a bullet caught him right in the chest.James jolted backward, clutching his chest. The bullet was lodged in his tactical vest. Grinning, he pushed forward and resumed rapid fire. Suddenly, Arjoona’s hand grabbed the back of James's vest, yanking him back. James was being recklessly suicidal, and it had almost gotten him killed.After pulling James into cover, Joona immediately elbowed him."What the hell were you thinking? You could've died!" Joona barked, furious. Gunfire instantly pinned them down again, forcing them to duck behind a desk tha
Ex-Wife, You Are Mine! Chapter 161. Trapped
Shawn Miller only entered the lower drainage canal after receiving a report from Joona that Aidan hadn't found anyone in the deposit room. Jayden, walking right behind him, kept his gun raised, guarding Shawn’s back.“I think we’ve been set up!” Arya muttered after overhearing Arjoona’s report about Aidan. Jayden glanced at Arya with equal anxiety, but they had to keep moving.New York's underground tunnel system was vast and sprawling. Checking it would take time, and the robbers could be hiding anywhere."Jay, check your left!" Shawn directed. Jayden split off with Arya, leaving Shawn to check a tunnel junction on the left, while Shawn and Grey continued checking the path ahead of them."Jay..." Arya called out, pointing toward a door that was slightly ajar. Seeing it, Jayden motioned for Arya to step aside so he could investigate. Jayden stepped forward slowly and pushed the iron door open. The barrel of his gun pointed in
Ex-Wife, You Are Mine! Chapter 160. Nearly Death
The narrow ventilation shaft Aidan crawled through led toward a room adjacent to the bank's main deposit vault. A few times, Aidan had to halt and force himself to stay calm. It wasn't that he couldn't fit; it was the lingering ghost of his past claustrophobia rearing its head. At one point, Blake reached out from behind, gripping his boot to check on him."You good?" Blake asked, knowing a bit about Aidan's condition.Aidan took a deep breath, glanced back, and nodded. Pushing forward, he reached the end of the shaft and forced his body through the opening.As his tactical boots hit the floor, Aidan let out a heavy sigh of relief. The SWAT officer, who had dropped down first, handed Aidan his weapon, which had been tossed down ahead of them. Keeping low behind a wall, Aidan tried once more to raise Arjoona on the comms, but the signal was dead.Signaling Juan to advance toward the far wall, Aidan stayed in front while Blake a
Ex-Wife, You Are Mine! Chapter 159. Betting On Critical Time
Meanwhile, inside the bank, the robbers were loading their haul into a truck parked in the drainage tunnel running beneath the building. Suddenly, one of the gunmen began inspecting the hostages one by one. Spotting a woman, he aggressively grabbed her, ripping her clothes open. She screamed for help, but there was no one around to save them."SHUT UP!" the robber roared, making his sickening intent clear right in front of the other hostages.One of his accomplices shouted at him, "Hey! We don't have time for this shit! Let her go!"Furious, the man released the poor woman, shoving her back into the crowd. But as he scanned the room again, his eyes locked onto a new target. Malikha, who was hiding, had accidentally exposed her face."Well, hello gorgeous," he purred, a predatory glint in his eye.Malikha cringed backward, praying he would leave her alone. But the man moved too fast, grabbing her.His partner snapped, growing even more annoye
Ex-Wife, You Are Mine! Chapter 158. Denial
A bank manager was being brutally beaten to force him into giving up the vault code. When he refused to speak, the man who appeared to be the ringleader shot him point-blank in the head.Malikha choked back her tears, fighting to keep her panic from surging out of control. If she spiraled, her unborn baby could be deprived of oxygen, and she couldn't risk putting her child in danger."Breathe, Malikha... just breathe," she whimpered softly, her eyes squeezed shut. Her hands gently cupped her stomach, soothing her baby, who was kicking restlessly from her extreme stress."It's okay, sweetheart. Mommy's here. Stay calm... we're going to be okay," Malikha whispered to her womb.A fellow hostage seated nearby glanced over at Malikha, taking pity on her when he noticed her pregnancy. Acting on instinct, he shifted his body to block her from view, shielding her so none of the robbers would take notice."Thank you," Malikha whispered from behind him. The young man gave a subtle nod, keeping h
Ex-Wife, You Are Mine! Chapter 157. Secret Mission
A single phone call caused Aidan and Glenn to exchange glances in the lobby of Orcanza. Aidan gave Glenn a firm nod, and his assistant immediately approached. Together, they headed straight for the elevator down to the underground parking garage.“I’ve prepped all the gear in my car, sir!”Aidan nodded. “We’ll use yours.”Glenn nodded back, stepping out of the elevator alongside Aidan. Both men shed their suit jackets before Glenn unlocked the trunk of his luxury sedan. He pressed a hidden button, revealing a secret compartment. Aidan and Glenn tossed their suit jackets and dress shirts aside, quickly changing into plain long-sleeved t-shirts before getting into the vehicle.Thirty minutes later, they arrived at an office complex that the NYPD had completely evacuated. Police line tape had been strung up since late afternoon when the robbery first broke out. Their car couldn't breach the police barricade, which had sealed off the surrounding streets for blocks. As a result, they had t

Aidan smiled as he listened to Malikha’s reaction on the other end of the phone.He could already picture her expression—wide eyes, trembling lips, that soft, overwhelmed look she always had whenever something touched her heart. The thought alone was enough to satisfy him.“Do you like the surprise?
Ex-Wife, You Are Mine! Chapter 5. Charmed Her
Malikha froze the moment she heard his voice.“Hey, babydoll!”Her heart skipped as she slowly turned around. Of all people… she hadn’t expected to see him here.Aidan flashed a charming grin, acting warm and friendly, almost like an old friend.He stepped out of his car like he had all the time in

The way he called her made her stomach drop. He left before she could respond. At the same time, Malikha stood frozen in the middle of the bar. Her pulse wouldn’t slow.There was a strange ache in her chest. Why did that man feel like a ghost from a life she tried to forget?Meanwhile, Aidan slamme
Ex-Wife, You Are Mine! Chapter 1. Old Debt
“Please don’t throw me out. I have nowhere else to go, Mr. Bradford.”Malikha heard the tremor in her own voice and despised it. She had spent years learning how to stand straight, even when the world pushed her down. She had learned to smile when customers looked at her as if she were something ch
