Billionaire's Pregnant Ex-wife novel Chapter 107

Chapter 107

The shot reverberated inside the room, mingled with the sound of my own horrified scream. I closed my eyes and waited for the pain to strike. I even expected blood to flow from my injury, but there was nothing. Counting a few more seconds, still nothing happened. No wound and no pain. Reluctantly, my eyes opened, and I found Ash looking at me with a sinister grin on his face. The terror he saw in my expression pleased him in a horrible way. He crossed the distance between us and pressed the muzzle of the gun against my temple.

The moment the cold, hard metal touched my skin, terror swelled inside me until it grew to the size of a monster. I could barely breathe. Without looking in Grey’s direction, I knew he was feeling the same way, watching the gun pressed against my temple. The deafening sound of my heartbeat resounded in my ears, and I wondered if the two men could hear it

too. Perhaps they couldn’t at all, but I felt as though the world had stopped turning, and the

only sound I could hear was my own harsh breathing and the drumming of my heart.

“Have no fear, Lily. I won’t kill you yet. I still have more use for you. I will kill your husband first, so he won’t get in my way as I lavish your delectable body.” Ash hooted with laughter and slowly withdrew the gun, pointing it in Grey’s direction.

I held my breath when Ash raised the gun and aimed it at Grey’s head. I feared he would accidentally pull the trigger and kill him in an instant. Since I could do nothing except watch, I resorted to prayer.

“On second thought, I would like to see the look of hate and fear in your husband’s face as I enjoy your body, Lily. I would like to see Grey suffer as he watches the woman he loves get

violated in front of him.”

“Touch her, and all hell will break loose, Ash.”

Ash once more hooted in laughter. “I told you, Grey. You can do nothing except watch everything I do to Lily. After I’m done with her, I will strangle her to death, just as I did to

Natalia.”

“Why did you kill Natalia, Ash? She’s evil, but she did not deserve to die in your hands while she was pregnant!” I told him purposely to distract him and make him keep talking about his crime while I pressed the small button on my ring, and a tiny knife the size of my pinky nail popped out.

Murderers always liked to talk about their crimes. Ash was no exception. I just had to keep him talking while I freed myself from the ropes binding my wrists.

Thank God Luis had given me this ring and insisted I wear it at all times. This tool came in handy in this kind of situation.

“You already killed your mother… Why did you have to kill Natalia and the growing life in her womb too?”

Finally, that got his attention.

His head snapped in my direction, and instantly his eyebrows furrowed, forming a deep frown on his forehead. Savage fury blazed in his eyes. “She deserved to die in my hands!” His voice thundered across the room. I flinched at the immeasurable hate and loathing I saw in his eyes. “She broke up with me and wanted to abort our son while I was in a mental institution. When I learned about her plans, I escaped and killed her. I strangled her while I drowned her in the lake, then I escaped.”

The gun was once again pointed in my direction, and I kept my mouth pressed together to stop the words from emerging while I thought about how ironically he killed Natalia because she threatened to kill his son when he killed her and, in the process, killed the child

in her womb.

Ash was indeed not in his right mind.

“Why do you have to disrespect her body this way, Ash? You could just bury Natalia’s body and let her soul have some peace,” Grey interjected. He didn’t know about my plans yet, but he was helping me distract Ash.

“I realized I still wanted her, so I stole her corpse and found a perfect way to preserve her body.” Ash explained so casually, as though he hadn’t committed a punishable crime,

which told me how twisted his mind was. With his mental condition, he wasn’t joking when he told me he would kill me, my son, and Grey before this night was over,

While I still had time left, I rubbed the blade’s tip against the thick rope, It was difficult to cut through since it was tightly gripping my wrists. Biting my lower lip, I continued to cut the knife against the rope and ignored the searing pain coming from my wrists,

My hands began to numb. Still, I continued to cut the thick rope. Though it was making slow progress, at least I was making some headway.

Ash continued to talk, and this time he was clearly bragging about how no one had found out that he was behind everything. He even confessed that the night I left the house with my son Dylan, he planned the fatal car crash together with Natalia to ruin my life,

After faking my son’s death, Ash also confessed that he let Natalia keep the child and allowed her to become Dylan’s mother from that moment on. How twisted could that be? I thought to myself, fury swelling inside me, providing me enough strength to keep cutting the rope, even though my fingers were numb from too much exertion.

The most unforgivable thing they had done to me was taking away my son. I would never forgive him. I wouldn’t let him get away with his crimes this time.

An eye for an eye. A tooth for a tooth. He’d ruined my life, and I would ruin his too.

Ash confidently turned to me. He reached for my arm, but before he could touch me, the ropes binding my hands loosened and fell to the floor like a dead snake. With all the strength I had, I slapped the gun from his hand, and it dropped to the floor, skittering away

from his reach.

Taking the window of opportunity, Grey jumped on Ash and pinned him to the ground using his body, even though his wrists were still bound by rope.
