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

Dulcie broke the silence, her voice laced with concern.

Lucinda, I cant get through to Alyan.

I think hes already… She knew exactly what kind of man Alyan was.

Hed stop at nothing to save Miley.

Its alright.

Ill take care of it.

You get some rest, Lucinda replied, leaving the room.

The partnership with Eason had been hers from the start, and if things went south, it was her mess to clean up. That weight of responsibility sat heavy on her as she walked away, leaving Dulcie with a deep sense of unease.

Meanwhile, outside Hollis lab, Alyan and his team had the place surrounded, tension thick in the air.

He was determined to rescue Miley, come hell or high water.

Boss, weve confirmed the labs door is solid metal, one of his men reported.

Even explosives cant blast it open.

Mileys inside.

Alyans jaw clenched.

Not even explosives could blow it open? He wasnt convinced.

Sensing his leaders intensity, Alyans right-hand man quickly stepped in.

Your safety comes first.

Charging in wont do any good if we cant open that door.

We need the labs keys and specialized materials to crack those locks.

He continued, Weve already got intel on the materials.

Lets study them before we make a move.

After a tense pause, Alyan finally nodded, frustration clear in his eyes as he stepped away.

Inside the lab, Miley lay on a narrow bed in a stark, empty room.

The only thing in sight was a small table holding a meager portion of food. Groggily, she sat up, her head pounding.

The mix of booze, trauma, and being knocked out had left her body aching all over.

She rubbed her throbbing head and forced herself out of bed, scanning the room.

She knew this was Hollis lair.

Hed abducted her to get leverage over her father.

But where was she exactly? And how on earth could she get word to the outside world? Her phone had been snatched, and the room had no windows.

She couldnt even tell if it was day or night.

Helplessness hit her like a tidal wave, and she slid down the door in despair.

Dad… Alyan… noveldrama
