My Ex-Husband’s Billionaire Boss Wants Me.의 모든 챕터: 챕터 111 - 챕터 120

GemmaThe first thing I felt was an ache in my head. I opened my eyes and stared at the unfamiliar room, trying to remember how I had gotten there. I couldn’t make sense of anything around me. I shifted slightly, and the pain in my head got worse. My hand moved instinctively toward my head, but I stopped when I felt fingers wrapped loosely around mine.I turned my head.Julian was sitting beside the bed, his hand still holding mine. He was no longer wearing his suit jacket, and the sleeves of his shirt were pushed up to his forearms. His tie was slightly loosened, and he held his phone in one hand. The moment our eyes met, he stood.“Where am I?” I asked, my voice weak.“You fainted,” he said quietly. “You’re in the hospital.”I stared at him, trying to process his words.The conference room. The meeting. My phone ringing. I remembered answering the video call and seeing Katia's face on the screen. The bruises on her body. Her hands tied behind the chair. The way she struggled to lift

JulianEveryone was busy when I walked in. Several monitors covered the wall, displaying call records, maps, travel information, and financial reports while James stood in front of them with two of my men working behind him.Nobody looked up to greet me, and James did not waste time with an explanation. He simply turned one of the screens toward me and said, “We traced Katia’s phone.”He brought up the call record and enlarged the map. “The call connected through a Russian network. Katia’s phone is no longer communicating through the network it was previously registered on, but the device itself left enough activity for us to follow the connection.”I studied the screen. “Do we have her location?”James shook his head. “Not yet. We know the phone is in Russia, but that only gives us a country. The connection bounced between networks before disappearing. I’m working backward through the timestamps and cell activity to narrow the area.”I moved around the desk while James opened another

JulianWe pushed through the entrance. The hallway was dark. A guard appeared at the end of it. He raised his weapon at me but I fired at him first.Another man rushed from a side room, swinging at one of my men. They crashed on the wall, fighting at close range while another guard came running toward them.I moved past them; I wasn’t interested in anyone except Vadim and Katia.We searched one room after another, but each one was empty. The next room offered nothing either, and the storage room contained only boxes and equipment.James appeared beside me. “We need the lower section.”I nodded. We moved down a narrow staircase. The sound of fighting continued above us. At the bottom, the hallway became colder and darker. There were several doors along the walls.James tried the first; it was empty. The second was filled with old furniture and supplies. The third was locked. I grabbed the handle and pulled. It didn’t move.James stepped forward and examined the lock. “Give me a second.

GemmaI had barely slept.After Julian left the room the night before, I stayed beside Katia’s bed. Gigi eventually fell asleep in the chair across from me, but I couldn’t keep my eyes closed for long. Every sound from the machines made me look up, hoping to see some sign that Katia was getting better.She hadn’t moved.Even with her lying safely in a hospital bed, I still couldn’t believe we had found her. I kept thinking about what might have happened if Julian hadn’t reached her in time. Whenever that thought came to mind, I pushed it away. I had spent two days waiting for news, and now that Katia was here, I wanted to believe the worst was behind us.I was deep in thought when I noticed her fingers move.“Katia?”Her face twitched. Her fingers moved against the blanket, and her breathing became quicker and uneven. Then she opened her eyes.“Katia!” I called, gently touching her shoulder.She looked around the room, confused, then she tried to sit up.“No, no, no.” I reached for he

GemmaGigi looked toward the door, then back at me. She smiled at me, and I immediately knew I wasn’t going to like whatever she was thinking.“No,” I said.She was already walking away.“Gigi!”“Let me see who’s there.”I stood in the middle of the room, wondering how my life had reached the point where my own friends were conspiring against me. Katia looked far too entertained by the entire situation, and I pointed at her as she started to open her mouth.“Don’t say a word.”She pressed her lips together, but the smile on her face remained.A moment later, I heard Gigi’s voice from the doorway.“Julian! What a surprise.”I closed my eyes.Of course.“Who called him over?” I shouted, marching toward the living room.Gigi stepped aside, and there he stood.Julian was dressed in a white shirt, neatly buttoned. The bandage near his shoulder was no longer visible under his clothes, but I could still see the faint mark on his cheek where the cut had begun to heal. He looked tiredI stoppe
