His Ex-Wife Is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus) novel Chapter 1313

Elvis Waverley moved like a bolt of lightning, sprinting out of the darkness with the agility of a hunting leopard.

He whipped around, his heavily muscled arm raising high as he aimed the barrel of his gun at Ian on the upper platform.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Elvis clenched his jaw, firing three rapid shots.

Unfortunately, he was shooting from below. The distance was too great, his line of sight was restricted, and Ian was cunningly positioned in the shadows. None of the three bullets hit their mark.

"Damn it! Bastard!" Elvis cursed in frustration, his eyes red with fury.

High above, Ian was gripped by panic, his face as pale as a corpse in the dim light.

He had been so focused on his standoff with Cassius, completely absorbed in the sick thrill of torturing him, that he hadn't bothered to check the security feeds. He had let them slip right under his nose.

Ian knew he was no match for the elite fighters of the Ashbourne family. Every single one of them was a lethal threat. If he hadn't resorted to the cowardly tactic of taking a hostage, he would never have stood a chance.

He gritted his teeth, made up his mind, and turned to run.

Suddenly, Ian hit the brakes. Beads of cold sweat rolled down his forehead as he instinctively backed away step by step.

From the abyssal darkness, a pale, strikingly handsome face with sharp brows and starry eyes slowly emerged.

The man's expression was utterly unreadable, offering no hint of anger or joy, yet the dangerous aura radiating from him was enough to make anyone's blood run cold.

"Thaddeus... Thaddeus Abernathy?" Ian's eyes widened in shock, his blood running cold as if he were staring at the grim reaper himself.
