His Ex-Wife Is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus) novel Chapter 1284

With two armed guards flanking him, Hans forced his heavy legs forward toward the horrific, mangled wreckage.

The black sedan was completely flipped upside down. The crushed roof heavily pinned the two suited men in the front and the lone woman in the back.

Just a few feet away from the car, Hans abruptly froze in his tracks. His feet felt like they were cemented to the asphalt. He couldn't take another step.

"You two, go check it out first."

He fought desperately to keep his voice steady, but the slight tremor betrayed the sheer terror devouring him from the inside out.

"Yes, Boss." The two guards immediately rushed forward.

Hans took deep, ragged breaths, blowing clouds of white mist into the freezing air that partially obscured his sharp, pale face. His fingers twitched uncontrollably. He balled them into tight fists, but he still couldn't stop the shaking.

His temples were screaming again. It felt like someone was repeatedly driving rusted ice picks straight into his brain.

Those short two minutes felt like an agonizing eternity.

"Boss, these two guys are definitely dead. Do you want to come verify?" one of the guards shouted.

The drone hovered eerily in the air above them, like a silent ghost.

Hans knew he couldn't stall any longer. He forced his legs to move, walking rigidly toward the wreckage.

The drone followed closely behind, matching him step for step.

When Hans saw the two bodyguards—one with his head completely caved in and unrecognizable, the other impaled through the chest by a steel rebar—a cold sweat broke out across his forehead. All the ambient sound around him faded into a dull ring. His blood turned to ice.

He forced himself to take two more steps.

Just then, a slender, heavily bloodied hand slipped out of the shattered rear window, dangling lifelessly in the air.

Hans's heart violently seized. He practically lunged forward.

Dropping to one knee, his eyes instantly flooded with red. He immediately recognized the hand. It belonged to the Ashbourne family's second wife. The woman who lovingly called him 'Hubery', the woman who always teared up whenever she saw him, the woman who loved him unconditionally.

Suri's fingers were curled slightly inward. A blood-stained white-gold necklace dangled from her grip, catching the bleak, wintry light.

Breathing heavily, he reached out with a violently shaking hand and gently pulled the necklace from her palm.

Suddenly, Suri's fingertips twitched ever so slightly.

Hans's pupils dilated massively. His clenching heart practically exploded with adrenaline!
