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

It didnt add up.

He should prefer the advantage of familiar ground.

Alright, she replied evenly, masking her thoughts.

Ill have everything ready.

After the call ended, Lucinda shifted into action, summoning her team with quick precision.

If Eason had the nerve to choose their turf for the meeting, it could only mean one thing-hed come prepared, likely with his own men in tow, ready for whatever might unfold.

With other guests staying at the hotel, they couldnt afford any disturbances or unwanted attention.

Lucindas mind was already calculating the logistics as she turned to one of her assistants here, Anna.

We need four guards stationed on each floor. Have them blend in, catering to the guests as needed, but after nine, restrict movement outside their rooms as much as possible.

If anyone requests anything, make sure our staff handle it swiftly.

Her gaze sharpened as she continued, Place personnel at every staircase and secure all entrances, especially near the warehouse.

No outsiders mingle with our people-period.

And make sure every staff member is equipped with a walkie-talkie.

If anything feels off, I want it reported and handled immediately.

As soon as Lucinda finished giving her instructions, the employees sprang into action.

Dulcie, Lucindas shadow for the evening, stayed close, helping wherever she could.

By the time the clock struck nine, Lucinda and Dulcie stood at the entrance of the hotel, the air thick with anticipation.

The distant screech of tires sliced through the silence, and moments later, a vehicle emerged from the darkness-a bulletproof luxury car, sleek and menacing, its design almost military-like in its precision.

The first man, tall and slender, wore a cowboy hat that cast a shadow over his face, concealing all but the gleam of his small, calculating eyes.

They darted around the entrance, quietly observing every detail.

Behind him, a mountain of a man loomed, his broad shoulders barely contained by the vest that showcased his muscular arms.

Scars crisscrossed his biceps, each telling a story of violence and survival.

His black leather boots thudded against the pavement as he walked, and his eyes were sharp, predatory.

At a glance, it seemed obvious: the thin man in front had to be Eason, and the brute behind him was his bodyguard.

But Lucinda wasnt one to trust appearances.

If it were that simple, Eason would have already introduced himself as soon as he entered the hotel.

Lucinda had to trust her instincts. With calculated ease, she stepped forward and extended her hand to the muscular figure behind the thin man.

Mr.

Adams, its a pleasure to meet you.

Im Lucinda Simmons, she said smoothly, locking eyes with the strong man.

The sun was relentless in this area, and Lucinda knew a leader Like Eason wouldnt be pale and delicate.

No, hed have the build of a man who commanded respect, someone who could control his subordinates with more than just words.

Easons eyes narrowed, his disbelief palpable as he caught the subtle smile on Lucindas face.noveldrama

She had identified him-so easily, so effortlessly-without a single word exchanged.

In that brief moment, it became clear that Lucinda was no ordinary woman.
