Billionaire Ex-wife: I Can't Live Without You

After parting ways with Alyan, Lucinda returned to the hotel and escorted Dulcie back to her room.

At the door, Lucinda gave her a reassuring smile.

Today was just a hiccup, nothing more.

Get some rest-we might be burning the midnight oil later.

Dulcie nodded.

Got it, Lucinda.

You go ahead.

The moment the door clicked shut, Dulcie let out a long breath she hadnt realized she was holding. She flicked on the air conditioner and felt the tension in her shoulders finally ease.

Her nerves had been a wreck the entire day.

With someone as unpredictable as Hollis, there was no telling what his next move would be.

And if he decided to come after her..

Kysons image floated into Dulcies mind.

She stared blankly at the ceiling, her thoughts swirling.

Would Kyson even care if something happened to her? Or would he shrug it off, thinking she deserved whatever came her way? She didnt know-and frankly, she didnt want to find out.

Just as her mind lingered on him, her phone buzzed.

It was a call from Kyson.

A mix of emotions rushed over her-confusion, anger, frustration.

Recalling his words from earlier, she clenched her jaw and hit decline without a second thought.

He was probably just checking on Lucinda anyway.

Better not answer than risk another argument.

But Kyson didnt give up easily.

He kept calling, his persistence clear as each call barely rang twice before being cut off.noveldrama

Eventually, the phone went silent, and the robotic voice he dreaded chimed in.

Sorry, the subscriber you dialed is powered off… Meanwhile, back at Cadiered, in the Shaw Group CEOs office, Kurt had barely cracked the door open when a pen flew by, missing his ear by mere inches. If hed been a second slower, who knew where that pen wouldve landed.

Mr.

Shaw? Kurts face went pale, his pulse racing.

Kyson shot him a glare cold enough to chill the room.

What do you want? The air grew thick with tension as Kurt swallowed hard, his hands trembling slightly as he placed a stack of documents on Kysons desk.

Mr.

Shaw… our team just reported that Dulcie and Lucinda negotiated with Hollis today, but it didnt go as planned.

The mention of Dulcie and Lucinda seemed to douse the flames of Kysons temper slightly.
