Dumped My Cheating Ex. Now I'm Sleeping Next to a Billionaire CEO novel Chapter 1548

Ten minutes later. An army of attendants carrying trays suddenly flooded the cruise ship's grand hall and corridors. A voice echoed over the broadcasting system, greeting the distinguished guests and announcing that the little princess wished to play a game with everyone. The announcement requested that every person on board wear the masks provided by the staff. The wedding would officially commence the moment the little princess located James in the crowd.

Trays were presented, and masks were distributed one by one. Emmy casually picked up a white rabbit mask. Will, standing right behind her, received a black bear mask. Will strapped the mask to his face, his eyes darting warily through the eyeholes to scan their surroundings. He leaned in and whispered, catching himself before calling her sister-in-law, and asked his boss what exactly these people were plotting.

Emmy touched the rabbit mask on her face, her brows knitting tightly. After a brief moment of silent calculation, she made a swift decision. She stated that no matter what tricks they were playing, they could not linger here. She ordered Will to stick close as they headed out to find Major General Calony.

Will nodded immediately, voicing his compliance. He positioned himself securely behind Emmy as they moved toward the lounge area. But the moment they stepped into the main corridor, a massive wave of masked guests surged toward them, completely jamming the once-spacious walkway.

Emmy took the lead, struggling to weave her way through the dense throng. Just as she slipped sideways between two burly men, an icy hand shot out from a blind spot and clamped fiercely around her wrist! Emmy's heart seized in her chest. Before she could even react, a brutal, overwhelming force dragged her forward, sending her stumbling uncontrollably.

Will instantly sensed the shift in momentum. He reached out to grab Emmy's jacket, but the surrounding crowd seemed to coordinate against him, pushing forcefully in his direction. Countless bodies shoved and battered him, physically forcing him backward. With bloodshot eyes, Will roared for everyone to get out of his way, violently ramming his shoulders into the human wall blocking his path. But by the time he finally broke through the suffocating encirclement, the corridor ahead was completely empty.

Emmy was gone. Cold sweat instantly drenched Will's back. Knowing disaster had struck, he immediately sprinted down the hallway, violently kicking open every single door in a frantic search for her.
