Soldier, Billionaire, and Contract Husband Chapter 127 Gun to His Head
Tears streamed down Callie’s cheeks as she nodded, her voice barely above a whisper. ‘Yeah, I…I think so.’The room transformed from a prison cell into a battleground, tension so thick you could slice it with a knife.Elias’s eyes blazed with an intensity that could melt steel as he faced off against Simon, his fists clenched at his sides.Simon got up.His pride wouldn’t allow him to show fear, yet, his smug grin faltered for a split second as he saw the fury in Elias’s gaze.But he quickly recovered, his arrogance still on full display. ‘You are too late. She’s mine now. She was mine before you ever showed up, Major General. And she’ll be mine again.’Elias’s restraint snapped like a rubber band stretched to its limit.With a guttural roar, he lunged forward, his fist connecting with Simon’s jaw in a satisfying thud.The force of the blow sent Simon stumbling back, crashing into a table that toppled over with a clatter.The walls seemed to vibrate with the impact.Simon’s attempt to
Soldier, Billionaire, and Contract Husband Chapter 128 Unleashed
Elias was so glad he’d decided to brave the bone-rattling ride on a military aeroplane instead of waiting till tomorrow to return to the academy.Every second away from Callie had felt like an eternity as he worked tirelessly to track down Kee Ting.He had followed leads, chased shadows, and crossed dangerous lines to ensure he could put an end to the threat.The moment he tracked down and executed the drug lord, Elias was on the next transport back to Valour Ridge.Thank god he came back just in time.He would never forgive himself if anything had happened to Callie.Callie’s features relaxed, a sigh escaping her as her fingers brushed against Elias’s cheek.Relief flooded her expression, a mix of gratitude and something deeper, something that transcended words.‘Thank goodness,’ she whispered, her voice tinged with both vulnerability and strength.With a gentle touch, Elias stroked her cheek, his gaze locked onto her. ‘Let’s get you out of here.’He climbed into the driver’s seat an
Soldier, Billionaire, and Contract Husband Chapter 129 Taking Control
Before Elias could finish his sentence, Callie’s lips crashed against his, a hungry kiss that ignited a tempestuous storm within them.It was a storm of urgency, a dance of passion that left no room for doubt.Callie’s hands roamed over his chest, her touch searing through his uniform like a brand.Elias’s restraint snapped like a taut wire stretched to its limit.He responded with a fervour that matched hers, his fingers tangling in her hair, his body pressed against hers in a possessive embrace.Their kisses were a clash of desires, a battle of wills that left no room for surrender.Callie’s soft moans were a siren’s song, a melody that stirred the very core of Elias’s being.Her fingers worked deftly, undoing the buttons of his uniform with a determination that sent a surge of electricity straight to his groin.He groaned against her lips, his control slipping like sand through his fingers.But just as he was about to take over, to claim her with a primal need that threatened to co
Soldier, Billionaire, and Contract Husband Chapter 130 Not a Mirage
It was not until the first light of dawn began to paint the horizon that Callie finally settled into an exhausted sleep.Elias’s fingers brushed against her hair, still damp from yet another shower.His calm face masked the maelstrom of thoughts that raged within him.As his mind played out scenarios of vengeance, Elias’s grip on Callie tightened, vowing silently to shield her from harm’s reach.He shuddered at the thought of what could have happened if he had not made it back in time, if Callie had been left alone in the clutches of Simon.***The blinding sunlight streamed through the curtains, painting the room in shades of gold.Callie’s eyes fluttered open, her mind still foggy from a nightmarish haze.Her heart raced as she tried to piece together what had happened.The last clear thought she had was talking to Simon, relieved and glad that he was finally leaving the academy, and then…She bolted upright, her chest heaving as the memories rushed back like a tidal wave.The pain
Soldier, Billionaire, and Contract Husband Chapter 131 Neutralised
Elias’s hands moved with purpose, his touch igniting sparks along her skin.They were both seeking refuge in each other, using the language of touch to banish the shadows that threatened to consume them.As their bodies melded together, their connection became a lifeline, a lifeline that they held onto with unwavering determination.Afterwards, Callie and Elias lay tangled in each other’s arms, panting.The room was cloaked in a contented stillness, a sanctuary from the outside world.Elias’s gaze shifted from the ceiling to Callie, a small, knowing smile playing on his lips.‘Well, I’d say that was one hell of a morning,’ he quipped, his voice a low rumble.Callie giggled.Then she pulled the pillow over her face, suddenly feeling shy after the fact. ‘I don’t know what came over me.’‘Hey.’ Elias traced a finger on her arm. ‘You are my wife. What you did is perfectly natural.’He added with a grin, ‘And much appreciated.’The burnt toast sat neglected on the kitchen counter.Elias pu
Soldier, Billionaire, and Contract Husband Chapter 132 Diabolical
With another sigh, Callie curled up on the sofa, seeking comfort in Elias’s arms.Her voice was soft as she spoke, uncertainty tainting her words. ‘What will people at the academy say if they know about this?’‘This?’‘About…what happened last night.’Elias’s voice was resolute. ‘They will say Simon is a scumbag who deserves to be locked up. They’ll say you did the right thing to break up with him.’Callie was less confident. ‘What if they judge me, look at me funny? People will talk.’‘About what? You did nothing wrong.’Callie bit her bottom lip. ‘I shouldn’t have agreed to have that walk with him. I just thought it would be the last I saw of him in a long while.’Elias listened patiently.‘And... During the two weeks when he worked at the health centre, he really acted as if he’d gotten over me. So, I thought I was just saying goodbye to a colleague. I never imagined he’d—’‘Don’t.’ Elias’s voice cut through her words.He turned her to face him, his eyes locking onto hers. ‘Callie,
Soldier, Billionaire, and Contract Husband Chapter 133 Gone off the Deep End
Angelia smiled, a cold, smug smile. ‘What I did? I helped patch you up at Captain Santana’s request. I gave you pain meds. Without me, you’d be screaming in pain right now.’She added with a taunt, ‘As for anything else you claim I did….Well, you don’t have evidence, do you?’Simon’s face contorted with frustration as he realised the truth of Angelia’s words.He had been played, manipulated from the very beginning.He was sure she was the one who placed the phial on his desk, but no one saw it.She was the one who kept saying love was worth fighting for and encouraged him to go for it, knowing full well that Callie was already married.She was the one who told him where Callie would be last night, but no one else heard it.Angelia leaned in closer.‘You see, Simon,’ she purred, her voice dripping with malice. ‘You’re in no position to threaten anyone.’Simon’s face flushed with humiliation, his rage impotent in the face of Angelia’s calculated manipulation. ‘B*tch!’‘Save your theatri
Soldier, Billionaire, and Contract Husband Chapter 134 Jiu Jitsu
Elias cracked his knuckles. ‘Now, the first thing you need to know is how to disarm an opponent who’s got a blade on you.’Callie squared her shoulders. ‘I know how to handle a blade.’‘I’m not talking about a surgical scalpel.’ Elias shook his head. ‘I’m talking about the weapon most commonly used by civilians in armed attacks. It’s a crucial skill. You never know when you might find yourself in a tight spot.’Callie took a deep breath. ‘Okay, I’m ready.’Elias reached into his belt and withdrew a training knife with a rubber blade. ‘All right, Callie, pay attention. The key here is to control the situation. You want to stay calm and focused.’Callie nodded, her fingers tightening around the straps of her gloves.Elias lunged forward, the rubber blade glinting in the fluorescent light.Callie’s instincts kicked in, and she sidestepped, narrowly avoiding the attack.‘Nice move,’ Elias commented.He lunged again, this time feinting to the left before coming in from the right.Callie ba

Callie, weakened but resilient, looked up as Elias entered the ward.A soft smile played on her lips despite the pain that lingered in her eyes. ‘I was wondering where you disappeared off to.’Elias took a moment to absorb the sight of her, the woman he loved, fighting her way back to health.The bandages on her abdomen marked the physical toll of the recent events, but the warmth in her eyes brought a sense of calm to Elias’s troubled soul.‘Hey, Bunny,’ Elias greeted, his smile genuine as he approached her bedside.He gently took her hand, mindful of her injuries. ‘How are you feeling?’Callie’s eyes sparkled with gratitude. ‘Getting there. The doctors say I’ll make a full recovery with time.’Elias nodded, his heart heavy with the weight of recent events. ‘There’s something I need to tell you.’As Elias shared the shocking truth about General Conway’s betrayal and the revelation about his parents’ deaths, Callie’s expression shifted from concern to disbelief and, ultimately, sorrow
Soldier, Billionaire, and Contract Husband Chapter 305 Avenged
Callie felt herself falling into his trap, struggling to maintain a hardened heart as his doting gaze softened her resolve.‘Callie, you’re my wife. We are supposed to share a bed,’ his voice, deep and intoxicating, whispered in her ear.He embraced her tightly, a possessive need evident in his hold.‘Callie, I want you to love me like before. I lied to protect you. But now I realise I was wrong. I promise, no more lies. Please, at least don’t ignore me. It breaks me...’ His eyes, full of affection, revealed vulnerability.Elias, usually so strong, trembled in his plea.His voice carried a hint of regret. ‘I messed up, and damn it, I know it. Are you willing to forgive me?’Callie sighed. ‘Elias, just promise not to pull something like this again.’‘I won’t hurt you with lies anymore,’ he vowed.‘No more lies, Elias. Not even one,’ she declared.‘I swear.’ To seal his promise, he planted kisses on her forehead, eyes, and nose, soothing her turmoil.Dylan’s knock shattered Elias’s plan
Soldier, Billionaire, and Contract Husband Chapter 304 Forgiven
Callie drifted in and out of a dream-laden slumber, the ebb and flow of consciousness gently pulling her into the waking world.The enticing fragrance of chicken soup teased her senses, coaxing her from the depths of sleep.Elias had returned, a culinary saviour armed with a thermos of steaming chicken soup. ‘I used the mess hall kitchen to make this for you,’ he announced with a quiet pride.Drawing in a deep breath, Callie’s stomach couldn’t contain its eagerness, emitting a low growl that echoed through the room.‘Callie, tell me, what’s that sound?’ His question, though not a direct accusation, draped her in a blanket of embarrassment.‘Ahem!’ Callie, determined to maintain her composure, responded with a feigned nonchalance.‘I didn’t hear any sound,’ she declared, though the rumblings from her stomach suggested otherwise.She fought to suppress the impending growl, hoping Elias wouldn’t witness this audible betrayal.‘No sound?’ Elias’s raised brow and assertive tone exposed her
Soldier, Billionaire, and Contract Husband Chapter 303 Fear of Abandonment
Elias’s eyes snapped open the moment he heard someone coughing.He sat bolt upright in the chair and turned towards Callie.Her eyes were open.‘Callie! You are awake!’In a haze, Callie recognised Elias’s voice.Struggling, she forced her eyes open, greeted by the familiar sight of a white ceiling—a hospital room.Elias’s hand held hers, his calloused palm brushing against her skin.‘Elias,’ she whispered weakly, her eyes glistening with tears.Her voice, frail, held a hint of disbelief. ‘Am I still dreaming?’The last she knew, Elias was in custody.The Elias before her now felt like a dream, and she doubted her reality.Elias, red-eyed and exhausted, held her hands tightly, reassuring her, ‘Bunny, what are you talking about? Of course I’m real.’Callie sighed. ‘Good…’Relieved, she closed her eyes, slipping back into sleep.‘Callie!’ Elias’s heart skipped a beat, fear gnawing at him.He rushed outside, calling for Jamison and the medical team. ‘Quick, take a look at her. She woke u
Soldier, Billionaire, and Contract Husband Chapter 302 Mastermind
The puzzle of Mindy’s escape persisted, leaving Dylan in the dark, grappling with the mystery that allowed her to slip away undetected.A knock came on the door.‘Come in.’Dwight entered, settling gracefully into a chair opposite Dylan.He produced a pack of cigarettes, extending it toward Dylan.Dylan accepted it, extracting a cigarette, igniting it with a flick of his lighter, and indulging in the smoke that soon enveloped the room.Dwight, sensing Dylan’s foul mood, asked, ‘General Sheppard, not in the best spirits today?’Dylan retorted, ‘Aren’t you in the same boat?’A subtle smile played on Dwight’s lips as he selected a cigarette from the pack.His slender fingers expertly lit it, the room filling with the fragrance of tobacco and a haze of smoke.‘Any updates on Mindy?’‘Not yet,’ Dylan replied after a brief pause. ‘Which is a problem for you. That woman is more cunning than her father. I think she’s the one behind your assassination plot, not Carl. By the way, when do you pl

‘I planned everything single-handedly. This has nothing to do with my daughter Mindy,’ Carl pleaded. ‘I only had her run a few errands for me. She didn’t know what she was doing.’‘Do you think your excuse is convincing?’ Dwight retorted. ‘Mindy isn’t seven years old. She’s twenty-seven, an adult fully responsible for her own actions.’Dylan, acting on Dwight’s orders, directed his subordinates to arrest Mindy and release Elias.Carl, comprehending the depth of his miscalculations, lashed out at Dylan.He felt betrayed by the very person he trusted.‘Dylan, you ungrateful scoundrel! I trusted you so much, yet you did this to me! You even took advantage of my daughter. You are going to hell for this!’ Carl screamed, blaming Dylan for their downfall.Dylan was unfazed.Nothing Carl said mattered, not any more.Dylan exchanged a look with Dwight; there would be time to celebrate later.However, their joy was short-lived.About twenty minutes later, a soldier returned, reporting that they
Soldier, Billionaire, and Contract Husband Chapter 300 The Witness
Inga was supposed to be dead, but Dylan assured him that he’d killed her, even brought back her charred corpse.And the witness secured by Mindy couldn’t be Inga.Dylan must have made the switch.Carl was right to suspect him; his protégé had betrayed him.Carl glared resentfully at Dylan, at the culprit who crushed his dream of presidency.Dylan leaned against the wall, hands in pockets, unfazed.‘Dylan!’ Carl bellowed.The general seemed to have aged in a matter of minutes.Dylan gave him a mischievous smile. ‘Did I do something wrong, General Conway?’‘You—’ Carl yelled, ready to tear into Dylan for the betrayal.But glancing around the room, he halted.Others were present—Harriet, Dwight, and the three cabinet ministers.To reprimand Dylan would be akin to admitting to his own crimes.Fury painted his face as he contemplated his next move.Dwight glanced at Carl.The situation resembled a chess game, with Carl in the inferior position.He should sense his disadvantage, understandi
Soldier, Billionaire, and Contract Husband Chapter 299 The Trial
Carl waited in his office, too worked up to sit still.A knock on the door, and then Mindy entered. ‘Dad, it’s done. We have the witness and evidence. Everything will unfold just as you want.’Joy sparkled in Carl’s eyes, grateful for his daughter’s assistance. ‘Good, Mindy. Get Dylan here immediately. I want Elias’s trial to begin ASAP.’Mindy nodded, a wicked smile on her face, and left to find Dylan.She brought Natee along, with the woman’s face veiled to conceal her identity.Meeting Dylan, Mindy relayed Carl’s instructions.Dylan’s eyes lingered on her earlobes, adorned with the pink pearl earrings. ‘You did an excellent job. Your dad is right to be proud of you. I am, too.’Mindy shrugged. ‘It was easy.’Dylan shifted his focus to Natee. ‘Mindy, go get changed. I’ll handle your witness. We’ll gather everyone in half an hour.’‘Alright!’ Mindy nodded.***The Kurtazagg border weather was frigid, and the air threatened to freeze.Dwight, draped in a wool coat, moved towards the m
Soldier, Billionaire, and Contract Husband Chapter 298 A Deal’s a Deal
But Dylan’s eyes remained ice-cold as he swiftly secured the earrings onto her earlobes. ‘Done.’Standing on her tiptoes, Mindy gave him a quick kiss on the lips. ‘Thank you.’Dylan didn’t reciprocate the kiss.He just looked at her with a smile, concealing the disgust he felt.Duty called, and Dylan left the dorm shortly after.Usually, Mindy would have been disappointed.But tonight, she had other plans—meeting the leader of Kurtazagg’s largest militant group and collecting the evidence framing Elias.Once the trial was over, Elias’s fate would be sealed, and her father would be one step closer to the presidency.Mindy shed her luxurious coat for a sleek black suit and donned a plain black mask.She examined her reflection in the mirror and noticed that the pink pearl earrings seemed a bit conspicuous.About to take them off, she remembered Dylan’s words and kept them on.These were Dylan’s gifts, and she’d wear them always.Ready, she stepped out of the dorm and found two men in bl
