ABIGAIL'S POV

The question came unexpectedly. No one in the room knew what next to say.

Richardson stared at my phone like it had grown teeth and bitten him. For a moment, I thought he might throw it against the wall. His jaw flexed, once, twice, before he finally spoke.

“No,” he said. Flat. Absolute. “That’s not happening.”

The journalist was still on speaker, the faint hum of traffic on her end filling the silence. “Then you don’t have a story,” she replied calmly. Too calmly. “Not one that s

  • The CEO'S Dead Wife: A Marriage Made In Hell!   Chapter 155

    ALEXANDER'S POV. I had learned a long time ago that silence in a room full of men was never accidental.It meant someone was being targeted. Or someone was going down.That morning, it was both.The conference room on the west wing was all glass and steel, the city stretching below us in muted gray as if even the skyline was waiting for something to break. I stood at the head of the table, palms braced against the polished surface, eyes fixed on the reports scattered before me.No one spoke until I gave them permission to.“Say it,” I finally said without looking up.Ethan cleared his throat. He had been with me the longest, which meant he understood that hesitation irritated me more than bad news.“It’s about Abigail.”Every muscle in my body went still.“What about her?”He exchanged a brief glance with Marcus before continuing. “She made an inquiry at the immigration office yesterday. Discreet. Private appointment.”My head lifted slowly.“Inquiry about what?”“Processing a visa.

    ABIGAIL'S POVThe sound of that gate sealing still echoed in my head long after the metal stopped vibrating.I stood there for one full second, palm pressed flat against cold steel, my breath fogging against the reinforced glass, staring at the empty tunnel where the van had disappeared.Then I stepped back.“Alexander,” I said, and my voice didn’t shake. It couldn’t afford to. “Get me back in.”“I’m trying,” he answered immediately, but there was strain there now. “The van rerouted through an external exit node. I’m reacquiring through city grid.”Richardson was watching me.Like he was trying to decide whether I was about to break… or become something worse.My hands curled into fists.“No,” I muttered. “No, no, no.”Because this wasn’t over.It couldn’t be.“Abigail,” Alexander said sharply. “Signal reacquired. Temporary. The van’s on Highway 17 heading eastbound. Speed increasing.”Relief hit so hard my knees almost buckled.“Patch me into its system,” I said.“Abigail.”“Do it.”

    ABIGAIL'S POV“One step closer, and he dies.”The words didn’t echo.They didn’t need to.They lodged in my chest like shrapnel.My palm was still pressed flat against the armored plating of the van. I could feel the engine vibrating beneath my skin, steady and alive, as if mocking the frantic rhythm of my pulse.“Mama.” Tristan’s voice crackled faintly again through the distorted frequency.The sound almost undid me.“I’m here,” I whispered, barely breathing. “Don’t be scared. Just listen to me.”Static swallowed whatever he tried to say next.Then the line cut. Dead.I closed my eyes for one second.“They’re moving,” Alexander said sharply in my ear. “Rear axle torque increasing. You’ve got three seconds before they accelerate.”I shoved off the van and rolled hard to the side as the engine roared. Gravel sprayed into my face. The armored vehicle lurched forward, crushing stones beneath its weight, and tore through the open yard toward the far fence.“Block the gate!” I shouted.“I’

    ABIGAIL'S POVFor a second, I couldn’t breathe.My arms were still curved the way they had been when I was holding him. My fingers were still clenched like they were gripping fabric and warm skin and tiny bones.But there was nothing there. No breath against my neck. No trembling hands fisted in my jacket.A sound tore out of me before I recognized it as my own.“Tristan!”Smoke clung to the warehouse like it had no intention of leaving. It burned my lungs and coated my tongue with something metallic and bitter. My eyes watered, but I forced them open, scanning wildly, heart slamming so hard it felt like it might split my ribs.“Abigail.” Alexander’s voice cut through the ringing in my ears. “Thermal signatures spiked during the flash. Multiple rapid exits. I’m tracking..”“Track faster!” I snapped, already moving.I stumbled forward, kicking aside a fallen rifle, shoving through the thinning smoke. Shapes loomed and dissolved — steel beams, fallen crates, the slumped body of one of t

    ABIGAIL'S POVThe circle tightened.Eight of them advanced in a slow, deliberate sweep, weapons angled not wildly, not nervously, but with surgical precision. Their boots struck the concrete in unison, a steady rhythm that vibrated up through the soles of my shoes and into my spine.I shifted Tristan higher against my chest and stepped forward.My body moved before thought could interfere. My back straightened. My chin lifted. I angled my stance so my shoulder faced the most immediate line of fire.“Abigail…” Alexander’s voice came through the comm, strained but controlled. “I’m carving blind spots in the internal camera grid. You’ll have three-second windows where targeting feeds drop.”“Three seconds?” I breathed.“It’s all I can give you.”Tristan’s fingers fisted into my jacket. He was shaking now. His breath hitched against my collarbone.“Mama,” he whispered.The sound nearly shattered me.I pressed my cheek to his hair for half a heartbeat. “I’m here,” I murmured. “Don’t let go

  • The CEO'S Dead Wife: A Marriage Made In Hell!   Chapter 150

    ABIGAIL'S POV “Step aside, Abigail… or he won’t survive this.”Richardson’s voice didn’t echo like The Architect’s had. It didn’t slither through the speakers distorted and theatrical.It came from the shadows to my right. I turned slowly.The dim warehouse lights flickered once, twice — and then he stepped forward into the half-glow spilling from a broken overhead fixture.Richardson.Tristan was not in his arms.But he was close enough to him that I understood immediately — close enough that Richardson could reach him before I could if I made the wrong move.My entire body went rigid.Every emotion I had fought to suppress — rage, betrayal, disbelief — surged violently to the surface. My grip tightened around Tristan instinctively, my arm trembling from strain.“You,” I breathed.Alexander’s voice snapped into my ear, sharp and urgent. “Abigail, he’s testing you. Don’t react emotionally. Don’t give him that.”Testing me.Richardson’s gaze swept over me — assessing, not surprised. A
