The Billionaire's Ex-Wife: Declared Dead, Returned Dangerous のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 51 - チャプター 60

Alexa’s POVWe left the hotel ballroom in a state of absolute panic after the security video showed Chloe reaching into Andre's coat pocket, and by the time we got back to the building, I immediately ordered the guards to seal every single exit to turn the penthouse into a total lockdown crime scene. The fifty-carat engagement ring was worth a massive fortune, and because Chloe had managed to slip away into the back alley right after the security team dropped her outside, there was a huge possibility that she had dropped the velvet box somewhere inside our apartment building or passed it off to an accomplice before she ran.I set up my tablet on the kitchen table and pulled up a chair, while Andre was down on his hands and knees crawling across the living room carpet, frantically searching every single inch of the floorboards under the sofas like a man who had completely lost his mind."Andre, you need to get up off the floor because you are

Andre’s POVThe loud gunshot from the top deck echoed across the dock before I could put the ring on Avery's finger, and four mobsters came rushing down the riverboat ramp with their guns drawn to block our sports car. We realized the velvet box in our hands was completely empty because Chloe had secretly swapped the real ring into her boyfriend's pocket right before the fight broke out on the floor, so instead of driving away, we had to let their guards march us back up the stairs into a private card room where Chloe’s mobster boyfriend, Tony, was waiting for us at a small table.Tony was sitting in his chair with a cold smile while holding the real fifty-carat ring between his fingers, and Chloe was standing right behind him with her arms crossed while two heavy guards stood by the locked double doors."You thought you were so clever with your fake Texas accent and your cheap sunglasses, but nobody leaves my riverboat with my property unless th

Andre’s POVI held the phone against my ear while Grandmother Eleanor's voice echoed through the speaker warning me about Chloe leaking our fake marriage papers to the national news station, but I pressed the end button without giving her a single reply because I didn't care about the press or the corporate shares anymore. We were still sitting on the deck of the speedboat near the quiet wooden dock while the dark river water splashed softly against the side of the boat, and Alexa was standing by the engine controls holding her tablet while giving us a private moment to speak.My clothes were completely soaked from the riverboat jump and my hair was dripping wet, but the adrenaline running through my body made me feel completely alive while I looked at Avery sitting across from me on the boat bench."Andre, what did Eleanor say on the phone just now, and do we need to call our legal team right away to handle the news leak?" Avery asked, wiping a spot of water off her cheek while looki

Avery’s POVThe elevator doors opened directly into the penthouse living room, and I stepped out onto the floor while tossing the hospital paper onto the table, because I couldn't keep my anger contained for another single second after everything that happened down in the garage. Andre followed me inside and closed the door behind us, his face showing complete frustration as he walked toward me with his hands held out."Avery, please just sit down on the sofa with me so we can talk about this whole thing calmly, because you know that document is completely fake," Andre said, stepping closer to the table while trying to catch my eye."I am not sitting down on any sofa, Andre, and I am not going to talk about anything calmly until you give me the exact timeline of your relationship with Chloe before we go any further with this wedding," I demanded, crossing my arms over my chest while keeping my distance from him."There is no timelin

Avery’s POVI was pacing across the hotel room floor trying to decide whether to call Andre back, when my phone chimed on the table with an urgent text message from Alexa telling me to lock myself inside the bathroom immediately because Chloe was coming up the elevator with two men. Before I could even run toward the bathroom door, the master key card clicked in the lock and the main door swung open, allowing Chloe to step into the suite alongside two giant hired thugs who immediately blocked the hallway exit."Did you really think you could hide from me in this hotel suite, Avery, because I have enough money to buy master key cards from any manager in this city," Chloe said, tossing a thick paper contract onto the small table near the sofa while her two men closed the distance between us."Get out of my room right now before I call the front desk and have the police arrest all three of you for breaking into my suite," I shouted, backing awa
