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

He didnt intend to frighten her, though.

Breaking the tense atmosphere, Lonnie chimed in, Are you Miley? Were here on behalf of Lucinda.

Shes sent us to bring you to safety.

At the mention of Lucinda, a spark of realization lit up Mileys face.

Really? Lucinda sent you? The elegant lady from Cadiered, right? Shes stunning! Its incredible how the world works in such mysterious ways.

We need to get you to Lucinda as soon as possible.

Here, take this phone so you can let your father know where you are.

With that, Lonnie tossed her a phone.

Miley swiftly punched in Easons number, and after several rings, he picked up. Whos calling? His voice was raspy and strained.

A tightness gripped Mileys heart.

Dad, its me! A note of panic crept into Easons tone.

Miley? Is it really you? Yes, Dad.

Im so sorry I worried you.

Easons voice crackled with urgency.

Where are you? Im in the middle of discussions with Hollis.

Hang tight, Ill have you out in no time.

He still believed Miley was under Hollis control, his concern palpable.

She reassured him with a smile in her voice, Im safe, Dad.

Theyre escorting me to her hotel.

Please, come meet me there.

Alright, sweetheart.

Im on my way.

Miley ended the call and leaned back, excitement bubbling up inside her.

She glanced at Nathan.

Sir, you know Lucinda, right? My fathers about to collaborate with her.

Lonnie couldnt suppress his chuckle.

Little did she know, Nathan was actually Lucindas husband. Lonnie was eager to witness her surprise upon discovering this fact.

I know.

Nathans response was curt.

He didnt offer more.

His cold, distant expression made Miley hesitate, and after a brief moment of thought, she chose to stay silent.

Perhaps it was the exhaustion from all the running earlier, but before long, she dozed off in the car, her soft snores the only sound breaking the silence.noveldrama

Lonnie glanced in the rearview mirror and couldnt resist a teasing grin.

This one sure knows how to unwind, huh? Youd think shed be a little more cautious.

What if we were the bad guys? Nathans sharp glare silenced him before he could say another word.
