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

She murmured their names softly, fear gnawing at her.

What had happened to them after she was taken? She vividly recalled seeing Alyan beaten to a pulp before they dragged her away.

The thought of him, bruised and battered, made her stomach twist with worry.

The door behind her suddenly creaked open, and Miley jumped to her feet, her senses on high alert.

A frail-looking man walked in, holding bread and milk.

Who are you? Mileys instincts screamed danger-this man was trouble, no question about it.

He placed the food down without so much as glancing her way.

Hollis sent me to bring you something to eat, he said, his voice dripping with disdain.

But you might as well give up. Your fathers already abandoned you.

Hes cutting ties with the Cadiered people.

His words hit like a punch, but Mileys faith in her father remained unshaken.

Shut up! My dad would never turn his back on me! Only someone Like Hollis would sink that low.

If Hollis wants to kill me, let him! Im not afraid to face it, and I wont bow to evil.

The man let out a dark, twisted chuckle as he slowly closed the distance between them.

You really are Easons daughter, stubborn to the bone.

Hollis might spare you, but me? Im not so sure.

Without warning, he produced a syringe, his eyes gleaming with cruel intent.

He stepped closer, a wicked grin curling across his face.

Will he fight back? Or will he crumble? Panic shot through Mileys veins as she realized what the man planned to do.

Without hesitation, she tipped the milk over, the cup crashing to the floor.

In a swift move, she snatched a shard from the broken glass, clutching it tightly.

Her heart pounded, but her voice remained steady.

Im warning you, if you lay a finger on me, my father will hunt you down.

You wont get away with this! The man blatantly disregarded Mileys warning and continued to close in on her.

If you die here, your father will only go after Hollis, leaving me out of it.noveldrama

That chaos would be my bosss golden opportunity. His laugh darkened, echoing with malice, prompting Miley to retreat instinctively.

It became clear to her that this man wasnt aligned with Hollis.

His intentions were far deadlier.

Miley realized that nothing she could say would persuade him to release her.

Her only option was to delay him.

Slowly, she moved toward the door, her mind racing with escape plans.

Staying was not an option.

She had to get out.

Her father was still out there, waiting for her.
