His Ex-Wife Is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus) novel Chapter 1000

Thaddeus gritted his teeth and ran like the wind.

Branches tore at his handsome face as he raced through the forest, leaving him scratched and bleeding, but he didn't care.

He kept running, his strong legs moving mechanically, almost numb from exertion.

The only thing driving him forward was the burning need to rescue Evadne.

He had no idea how long he’d been running when he finally reached the front of the mansion. His legs were trembling, and his towering, muscular frame swayed slightly in the chilling wind.

Anyone else would have collapsed, utterly spent.

But the mansion entrance was eerily quiet, and that set his instincts on edge.

Thaddeus took a deep breath and gripped his revolver tightly.

His boots thudded heavily against the pristine stone path as he approached the door.

Eyes narrowing with caution, he pushed it open and stepped inside—

The opulent, spacious living room was deserted.

Despite the silence, Thaddeus's heart pounded like a drum, adrenaline coursing through him as if he were standing on the brink of a volcanic eruption.

He sensed danger. It was a gut feeling, an unexplainable intuition honed by years of professional training.

Suddenly, a glint of light reflected in his sharp eyes.

A sniper scope!

Bang—!

In a split second, Thaddeus fired before the hidden shooter could pull the trigger.

He was conserving ammunition and only needed one shot to hit the sniper squarely between the eyes. The body tumbled from the second-floor railing.

Bang! Bang!

Two more shots rang out as Thaddeus darted and dodged, bullets exploding dangerously close to where he’d just been standing.

Using the furniture as cover, he moved swiftly, taking down the ambushers one by one.

In the blink of an eye, the once silent living room was now littered with bodies.

Sweat drenched him as he clenched his teeth, swapping out his magazine in a heartbeat.
