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

Why did you come here so soon? And you rescued Miley, too? Nathan took her hand and pressed a soft kiss to it.

I missed you.

Thats why, he said.

When Lucinda had called him earlier, he was already at Medicans airport.

The two stood there, wrapped up in each other, completely oblivious to everyone around them.

Their quiet affection spoke volumesno words needed as they exchanged soft glances that echoed all the Love and longing they had carried.

As they spoke, Eason and Alyan hurried in.

Alyan had been ready to act, but Catherine had stopped him, telling him Miley had already been rescued.

The moment Miley saw Eason, she ran to him and wrapped her arms around him tightly.

Dad! I missed you so much.

Relief washed over him on seeing her.

He never wanted to face the possibility of losing her again.

Miley, are you okay? I brought the doctors.

Let them check you over, just to be safe. Miley glanced behind him and shook her head.

Dad, really, Im fine.

They just knocked me out-no shots or anything like that.

Im okay.

But even though she tried to reassure him, Eason wasnt one to leave things to chance.

He insisted on a full examination.

While the doctors checked her over, Eason turned to the man standing next to Lucinda.

Taking a few steps forward, he gave a small, respectful nod toward Nathan.

Mr.

Payne, I owe you more than I can say.

Youve done me a kindness I wont forget.

Nathan shook his hand with a faint smile.noveldrama

No need to dwell on it I had my own reasons for helping.

My wife means everything to me too.

The rumors are true, after all, Eason replied.

Rest assured, I wont backtrack on our agreement with the Simmons Group.

Ill sign a _ ten-year contract right away.

Lucinda waved off the business talk.

We can discuss the deal later, Eason.

For now, lets just get Miley home.

Shes been through enough.

And honestly, I dont think Hollis will let this go so easily.

At the mention of Hollis, Easons expression darkened.

His fists clenched as rage flickered in his eyes.

He kidnapped my daughter, he growled.

I swear, this time, he wont escape.

Ill destroy him for what hes done! Lucinda knew better than to take Easons fury at face value. As much as he wanted vengeance, the reality was different.

Hollis wasnt someone who could be easily dealt with.

The power balance between their gangs was too delicate for that.

She exchanged a glance with Nathan.

Nathan, understanding her without needing words, spoke up.

If youre serious about going after Hollis, he said carefully, I can help.

But… He let the words hang in the air, unspoken but understood.

No favors came without a price in their world, and Eason knew the game well enough to catch on.

Mr.

Payne, I get it.

If you help me take down Hollis, Ill reduce the commission for your wifes company.

And Ill ensure the Simmons Group stays protected here in Medican.

No one will dare touch them as long as Im around.
