Her Billionaire Ex-husband's Regret 253. INTO THE DEEP
CASPIANThe water swallowed him whole.We stood there, guns raised, scanning the black surface as if Rowan might resurface, coughing and swearing. But the only sound was the slap of waves against the dock. The current pulled at the pilings, dark and fast, dragging him wherever it pleased.“Eyes up,” Duke said finally, “We’re still exposed.”Markus muttered something under his breath, still searching the shadows as though he expected Rowan to just pop up any second.“Can you see him?” I asked, even though I already knew the answer.Duke shook his head. “He’s gone, Caspian. That current’ll carry him a mile before he even surfaces. If he surfaces.”“He will.” I was convinced of that. “Bastard’s like cockroaches. He’ll crawl out somewhere.”Rowan wasn't jumping to his death. I knew very well he wouldn't have risked it, if he wasn't certain he could survive it. Markus looked at me over his shoulder. “We’ve got to pull back. We don’t have numbers to sweep this whole dockyard, and we’re r

CASPIANThe man was being a menace and he didn't even have to be.Xander closed his eyes, and sighed. “How much longer is this going to be? Shoot me already.” The man behind him stabbed his head forward with the gun. “Now you shut up!” I saw Xander’s fingers ball into fists and one looked down at him, and I knew what he had planned. “Sniper!” I screamed, ducking behind for cover with my eyes still on Xander. Xander jumped off the ground, pulled his shoulders forward, then back into the man’s crotch. The man doubled over, both his hands cupping his balls. A moment later, he went toppling to the ground, groaning and grunting like a pig. Xander picked his gun off the floor, cocked it and shot him in the knee. “Look who's being a cry baby now. Not so strong now, are you?” Turning away from him, I made my way to my car, dragging Rowan behind me, while Xander released another bullet into the man who was full on slobbering now. “Xander? Caspian? We’ve got to go!” Rowan was still l

CHAPTER 249CASPIAN“Move!” I barked, shoving Stevens forward.He stumbled, breathing hard. His lashes were matted with tears. “They…”“Save it, you can explain later,” I snapped, dragging him behind a stack of shipping crates. Safety first, because there would be no time for stories if we all died here.The cover was a flimsy stack of crates, but at least it was something between us and the billets whizzing past our heads.The air was filled with the smell of gunpowder and motor oil, bullets hitting the crates around us.Duke’s men fired back, each shot bouncing off the concrete walls of the dockyard.“Caspian!?” I heard Markus scream my name. My heart lodged into my throat as I assumed he was hurt.But no, he was pointing desperately at Rowan who was running away.The fucking coward.I turned to Stevens and fisted his shirt. “Stay here. Unless you’re absolutely in danger, do not move from here. Do you understand?”He nodded, his eyes almost filmy with fear. I shook my head. He p
Her Billionaire Ex-husband's Regret 250. CHAOS RELOADED
CASPIANEven as I spoke the words, I knew they made no sense.Stevens had said Rowan planned to move in three days, moving a day earlier meant he was spooked.What did he know? I went up to our room and grabbed a jacket.Aria looked up from the couch when I returned.I leaned in and kissed her cheeks. “I’ll be back soon. I’m not sure how long this will take, so don’t wait up. I’ll lock the door behind me.”She stood and hugged me hard. “Stay safe, Caspian.”I nodded, and stalked out of the house. Duke sent me directions to where they were waiting. Stevens’ voice wouldn’t leave my head as I drove over to him. “Rowan’s moving the shipment early. Something’s wrong.”My gut was tight, my hands already curled into fists I hadn’t thrown yet. I didn’t even need to check in with Duke or Markus; they’d be waiting. And sure enough, by the time I made it out to where they were, Markus’ SUV was idling at the curb, Duke in the driver’s seat.Xander was standing beside the car, leaning back aga

ARIARowan didn't even try to hide the anger that sparked in his eyes. His hands balled into fists.I had the feeling that if Caspian hadn't leaned forward that moment, he would have lunged across the table at me.“And I agree. The public shouldn't be exposed to the menace that is your product.” Caspian said. “Can you remind me why the fuck you're sitting in on this meeting, Caspian?” Rowan snarled. “The last time Aria was here, she nearly left in a body bag, I'm here to remind you that trying that again will end with you in a body bag, and there will be no mistakes about it.”I coughed into my palm to hide my smirk. Rowan stuttered, leaning forward. “Did…did you just threaten me?!” Caspian’s shoulders squared, and he leaned into his chair, his legs spread and relaxed. “There were no threats made here, Rowan.”Rowan’s mouth snapped shut, and that alone made the pain of forcing myself here worth it.I knew for sure he'd expected me to stay home, and come back docile when I was hea
Her Billionaire Ex-husband's Regret 248. CAUTION OR EXPOSE?
ARIA“Be good for Evelyn, okay?”I knelt down to kiss the twins, filling my lungs with the fresh strawberry scent of Nylah’s hair as I hugged them one by one. Her arms were shaking around me, and she held me tighter than usual. My chest was tighter than it had ever been, and I didn’t have to ask why to know they were worried about me. “Mommy…” I shook my head, pressing a kiss to Nylah’s forehead to stop her words. “I’m fine, sweetheart. You don’t have to worry about me.”“You were in the hospital,” Nylah whispered. I could see that her eyes were about to fill with tears.That was absolutely the last thing I wanted to happen.“I know.” I kissed her forehead. “But I’m home now, and I’m getting stronger every day.”Lark frowned up at me.His brow was furrowed in that way he got from watching Caspian too many times. “Are you going to be here when we get home?” He asked.“Yes, I promise,” I said firmly, brushing my thumb over his cheek. “I’ll be right here waiting for you two.
