Trashing My Ex with the Ice King Chapter 89
Ryder’s POVThe suffocating silence of the night shattered instantly. Hundreds of camera flashes exploded toward me, blinding my eyes like a barrage of artillery fire."Oh my God! Isn't that Mr. Ryder Vance?!" a journalist exclaimed, breaking through the ranks. "So the rumors are true? He was held hostage here?!"Like a pack of predators catching the scent of blood, the reporters immediately charged, breaking through the police barricades and swarming me as I sat in the wheelchair.Julian, still standing with his hands cuffed near the transport vehicle, turned to look at me with a sharply creased brow. His deep-seated hatred and towering pride fiercely rejected my actions. "What are you saying?! Stay out of my business, Vance!" he growled sharply.However, his voice was drowned out by the sea of humanity surging forward. Thousands of questions bombarded me from all directions."Mr. Ryder! Please explain what really happened!""Why are you saying Mr. Julian is innocent?! Then why

Ryder’s POV"Let go of Dad, Leon... be happy with your mother."Julian's voice sounded so heroic, making my jaw clench until my teeth ground together. From this hospital bed, I sat frozen, staring at him. Slowly but surely, Julian unpried Leon's tight grip from his trouser leg. The bastard stood up, turned around, and walked away without so much as a backward glance."Julian!"That scream tore through the silence of the room. My heart felt as if it were being crushed when Mary called out to that man. Ignoring all rationality, I watched the woman I loved run with unsteady steps, chasing Julian out of the clinic room.My chest felt as though it had been struck by an invisible sledgehammer. A storm of anger and jealousy exploded within, shredding the remains of my pride.Leon, left behind in the room, slowly turned to look at me. The little boy cried hysterically, stepping closer and tugging at the hem of my shirt, still stiff with dried blood. "Dad! Please... bring Dad Julian back

Victor Vance’s POVThin smoke billowed from the espresso cup on my desk, but it did nothing to calm the anger boiling in my skull. I sat in my grand chair at the pinnacle of Vance Tower, glaring at the expanse of Chicago city lights with a clenched jaw. The fate of Ryder, my son and the sole heir to my business empire, remained uncertain inside Julian Kessler's lair.My office door opened. George, my right-hand man, strode in with a tense expression."There is still no word from Rico, Sir. Our connection to him was lost since the failure of your jet's landing in Switzerland two days ago. Looking at Kessler's track record... I doubt Rico is still alive," George reported, bowing his head.I slammed my fist onto the mahogany desk, making my espresso cup rattle. "Even though that bastard managed to infiltrate their lair, how could he fail to execute the plan?! Incompetent!""And Gideon... he cannot be reached either, Sir.""Damn it all! Not a single one of them can be relied upon!" I

Mary’s POVMy footsteps felt incredibly heavy as I walked down the clinic corridor, chasing Julian’s limping silhouette as he left the ICU."Julian, wait!" I called out, quickening my pace and catching his left arm, which was wrapped in bandages. "Please don't take it to heart... Leon is just a child. He doesn't know what he's saying."Julian stopped. However, he didn't immediately turn to look at me. His broad back looked so tense, bearing an emotional weight that was far too heavy."I'm not angry at Leon," Julian's voice sounded hoarse, so quiet yet piercing straight into my heart.Julian slowly turned around. He looked into my eyes—his gaze was sharp, but behind it lay a fragility I had never seen in my entire life with him."Tell me the truth, Mary..." Julian whispered softly, his eyes glassy. "...after seeing him sacrifice his life until he was blown to pieces like that, is there... even a sliver of space in the cracks of your heart to accept Vance again?"My breath hitched

Mary’s POVWith ragged breaths and violently trembling hands, I picked up a pistol lying on the floor nearby and sprinted out the main doors of the mansion, pushing through the thick smoke and hail of bullets, before raising the gun high into the air.BANG!I pulled the trigger, firing straight into the sky. The gunshot echoed, shattering the focus of every armed man in the courtyard."STOP!" I screamed, glaring fiercely at Ryder's guards and Kessler's men interchangeably. "Put your weapons down, all of you! Call the medical team NOW, or both of them will die!"A chilling silence instantly fell over the mansion courtyard. Hundreds of armed men froze, exchanging confused glances before slowly lowering their guns. Without wasting another second, I spun around and bolted back inside, followed by the frantic footsteps of the guard commanders and the mansion's emergency medical staff.Julian and Ryder's bodies were immediately hoisted onto stretchers and rushed to the mansion's medica

Ryder’s POVThe chaos outside the mansion was deafening, a relentless symphony of shattering glass, blaring emergency alarms, and gunfire echoing through the stone corridors. But my mind was entirely blank to everything else. My bloodshot eyes scanned the smoke-filled upper floor until I grabbed a terrified maid by the collar of her uniform, pressing the cold barrel of my Glock against her temple."Where is the master bedroom? Where are Mary and Leon?!" I barked, my voice dark and lethal."Up-upstairs... at the end of the east wing..." she choked out, trembling in sheer terror.I shoved her aside, sprinting down the corridor like a madman. I reached the double doors of the master suite, kicked them open with a brutal force that shattered the lock, and surged inside—expecting to find them.Instead, the barrel of a polished pistol was pressed right between my eyes.I froze. Standing before me, bathed in the flashing red emergency lights, was Julian Kessler. His clothes were disheve

HENRY’S POVThat bastard's words rang in my ears on a loop, drowning out the frantic whispers of the students in the corridor.Mary Collins is mine now.My hands clenched into tight fists at my side. Nineteen years. For nineteen years, I was the only man allowed to hold Mary’s hand. I played the pe

MARY'S POVThe morning sun of Chicago pierced through the penthouse's floor-to-ceiling windows, waking me from a restless sleep on the sofa. I sat up, my eyes immediately locking onto the walk-in closet across the room.Last night, I had almost run away.But this morning, as the arrogant face of Hen

Ryder's POVThe chime of the elevator shattered the silence of my penthouse. I didn't move from where I leaned against the marble pillar, letting the damn smirk I'd been holding back since last night finally etch itself clearly onto my lips.I could barely focus on anything all day. I even had Dant
