All Chapters of Trashing My Ex with the Ice King: Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

Victor Vance’s POVThe tranquil morning in the penthouse of Vance Tower, Chicago, shattered into pieces in a matter of seconds.The crystal glass filled with whiskey in my hand was hurled against the wall until it smashed to pieces. My breathing was ragged, my jaw clenched so hard it audibly ground together, suppressing the anger boiling up to the crown of my head."What did you say?!" my voice boomed like thunder, echoing throughout this magnificent office.My personal assistant standing before me swallowed hard, his face deathly pale. "G-Gideon just reported live from Switzerland, Sir. For the past week, it turns out Mr. Ryder manipulated his flight schedule to Tokyo. He secretly flew to Geneva and... he has just surrendered himself as Julian Kessler's prisoner.""Insolent!" I slammed my fist onto the mahogany desk before me, knocking stacks of documents to the floor. "Contact Gideon right now!"With trembling hands, my assistant immediately connected an encrypted call. The nex

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

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

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

Mary’s POVThe mansion's main hall felt completely silent. The hundreds of camera flashes and the uproar of the journalists outside had been completely blockaded by the security forces, leaving only the three of us in this room.I stood frozen. The air around me felt as if it had turned to ice as Julian's fiery gaze pierced right through me. The man stood a few steps in front of me, demanding accountability for my insane declaration in front of the world an hour ago."You truly disappoint me, Mary..." Julian hissed. His voice was low, yet heavy with severely wounded pride. "You made me look like a fool who is willing to share his wife in front of the whole world! I would rather rot in prison than have my pride trampled on by your ridiculous whim!""Do you think I had a choice?!" I fired back, cutting him off with a hoarse voice. "What would happen to the children if you were imprisoned? Tell me!!" I looked into his eyes sorrowfully. "If the two of you keep trying to kill each other
