RUTHLESS BILLIONAIRE EX-HUSBAND CHASED ME BACK CHAPTER 208
The first helicopter's searchlight cut through the trees like a blade, illuminating the dust swirling around our ragged group. My torn wedding dress fluttered in the rotor wash as the Lazarus subjects formed a protective circle around us, their brands pulsing in eerie synchronization."Stay behind us," Subject XVII—no, Michael, he'd growled when I asked his name—ordered as his bone claws gleamed in the moonlight.Jeff's arm tightened around my waist, his body vibrating with tension. "Demi, we need to—"A thunderous crack cut him off as the largest pine tree near the clearing suddenly toppled toward the approaching helicopter. The pilot swerved violently, but not fast enough—the rotor blades shredded through branches in a shower of sparks.I whirled toward XXIV—Eli—who stood with his palms outstretched, veins glowing silver beneath his skin. His grin was all teeth. "Told you we don't run."Lina's gasp drew my attention. Her shattered tablet now displayed a live satellite feed of our lo

The cliffside wind howled around us like a living thing, whipping my torn wedding dress into tattered streamers. D-0's operatives fanned out in perfect formation, their weapons trained on us with chilling precision.Jeff's back pressed against mine, his breathing steady despite the gun in his hand having only three bullets left. I knew—because I'd counted every damn one."Last chance, Demetria," D-0 called over the wind.I adjusted my grip on the knife. "Go to hell."Then three things happened at once: Lina screamed as an operative lunged for her, Daniela intercepted with a vicious elbow to the man's throat, And Mateo—sweet, injured Mateo—launched himself at D-0 with a roarTime fractured.I moved on instinct, my blade finding flesh as Jeff's final three shots rang out. Two operatives dropped. The others kept coming.Mateo and D-0 grappled near the cliff's edge, their eerily similar faces twisted in mirrored snarls. Blood dripped from Mateo's ribs, painting the rocks beneath them."Tí

We moved as one—him firing precise shots to clear our path, me slicing through the smoke with my wedding knife. The ivory skirts of my gown tore against the boathouse debris, the delicate lace now streaked with blood and motor oil.Lina had already untied the speedboat, her tiny frame straining against the ropes. Mateo slumped against the pier, his breathing shallow but steady."Go!" Daniela tossed me a flare gun. "I'll hold them off."I caught it midair. "Like hell you will."Jeff solved the argument by shoving both of us onto the boat. "Family reunion later. Surviving now."The engine roared to life just as D-0 emerged from the smoke—his perfect face now twisted in something almost human. Rage."You can't outrun your destiny, Demetria!"I raised the flare gun. "Watch me."The projectile hit him square in the chest, bathing the entire boathouse in hellish red light. As we sped away, the last thing I saw was D-0 burning—and Sister Marguerite making the sign of the cross.✵Lake Como's

Gunfire echoed across Lake Como as Jeff spun me behind a marble pillar, his body shielding mine from the spray of bullets that shattered the crystal chandelier above us. Shards rained down like jagged diamonds, catching in the folds of my ivory gown."Still the best wedding I've ever attended," Jeff murmured against my ear, his breath warm despite the chaos.I peered around the pillar to assess the threat—black-clad figures rappelling down from the cliffs, their tactical gear bearing no insignia. "Not Rykov's men.""Better." Jeff pressed a pistol into my hand. "Worse."Lina ducked behind the overturned grand piano, her lilac dress now streaked with soot as she frantically typed on her iPad. "They're jamming signals!"Mateo appeared at my other side, tossing Jeff a spare magazine. "Lazarus protocols. These are Ryans' old private security." His jaw tightened. "They're here for me."A bullet grazed the pillar beside us, sending stone chips flying. Jeff's security team returned fire, thei

The first thing I noticed when we stepped off Rykov’s yacht was the silence.Not the absence of sound—Monaco’s harbor still bustled with megayachts and shouting deckhands—but the quiet that settled in my bones. The kind that comes when a storm you’ve been bracing against finally passes.Jeff’s hand stayed firm at the small of my back as Interpol led Rykov away in handcuffs, the oligarch’s shouts fading into the salt-tinged breeze."Tía!" Lina barreled into me, her neon sneakers skidding on the polished teak deck. "Did you see? Mateo did the thing with the gun like we practiced!"I caught her by the shoulders. "You practiced hostage scenarios?""Only on YouTube!"Jeff coughed into his fist. I shot him a glare that promised we’d revisit this later.Mateo stood a few feet away, shoulders hunched under Daniela’s Chanel blazer. At sixteen, he was all sharp angles and wary eyes—too much like how I’d been at that age. When he noticed me staring, he touched two fingers to his temple in that s

The penthouse intercom buzzed sharply, shattering the moment. Jeff's hands lingered at my waist a heartbeat longer than necessary before he moved to answer it."Mr. Thorne," the concierge's voice crackled, "a Miss Lina Perez is in the lobby insisting—"I was already striding toward the elevator. "Send her up."Jeff caught my wrist as the doors closed. "You've been keeping secrets, darling." His thumb traced my racing pulse point. "First the USB, now your niece appearing unannounced?"The elevator pinged. Lina burst out in a whirlwind of messy braids and neon pink sneakers, her iPad clutched to her chest. "Tía! You were right about the offshore accounts!"Jeff raised an eyebrow. "She's twelve.""Thirteen next month," Lina corrected, plopping onto the white leather sofa. Her fingers flew across the tablet screen before flipping it toward us. "See? All the missing funds routed through Grandfather's charity foundation straight to..."The color drained from my face. Rykov's personal bank d
