"Alice, I think we should cooperate."

Cliff suddenly spoke, his voice steady and filled with absolute confidence. "As long as you agree to help me take down Louis, I'll set you free. In fact, I can give you everything—my love, my wealth, anything you desire."

Alice let out a cold laugh, a mocking glint flashing in her eyes. "Do you think I'm stupid enough to believe you?"

Cliff leaned forward slightly, his tone growing more persuasive. "Louis loves you deeply—he would trust you unconditionally. If you agree, we can make him lose everything—his career, his reputation, even his life. Then, you won’t have to endure this imprisonment any longer. Instead, you could stand at the pinnacle of power by my side."

As soon as he finished speaking, a sharp smack echoed through the silent room.

Alice had slapped him without hesitation. The force of the blow caused Cliff’s head to tilt slightly, leaving a burning red mark on his cheek. The air grew stifling, the tension so thick that even the slight

  • The Billionaire EX-Husband Wants To Reconcile Again!   Chapter 109: The Plan

    The deep blue sea stretched endlessly before Alice’s eyes, the salty ocean breeze threading through her tangled hair. She stood by the small window of her confinement, her gaze darting around in search of an escape route. The island wasn’t large, but its rugged terrain and strict security made fleeing nearly impossible. Since being kidnapped and brought here by Cliff, Alice had tried every possible way to escape, but all her attempts had ended in failure. The guards were always on high alert, and no matter how hard she tried, every path was blocked.She closed her eyes and took a deep breath to steady herself. If she let fear take over, she wouldn't be able to come up with any plan to get out of here. But even so, one undeniable truth remained—she was alone. No one could help her. Or at least, that’s what she thought… until she realized something important: Vein.Vein entered the room as usual, carrying a tray of food. He was one of Cliff’s trusted subordinates, but Alice had observed

    One afternoon, Cliff found her sitting on the floor, her back against the wall. She had her eyes closed, letting out a heavy sigh. He frowned, stepped closer, and crouched down to look at her.“You can’t keep going on like this.”Alice opened her eyes, sadness lingering in her gaze. “Then what should I do, Cliff? You said I can’t leave. I have no one on my side. How do you expect me to live like this?”Cliff clenched his fists. He didn’t know why, but her words unsettled him. He didn’t want to see her this hopeless. But why? That was a question he couldn’t yet answer.He stood up and silently left the room. But from that day on, his attitude toward her changed—just slightly. He started bringing her more food, sometimes even leaving an extra blanket. Alice noticed, but she didn’t rush to take advantage of his kindness. She knew she needed more time.Then, one night, a storm hit the island. Thunder rumbled relentlessly, lightning streaked across the sky, and the wind howled outside the

    Alice smiled, her smile faint but her eyes gleamed with mockery. “Really? I thought you were smarter than that, Vein. If I were to die now, the one who would lose the most wouldn’t be me.”Vein stared at her, his chest tightening with an inexplicable discomfort. Alice was an old fox in the guise of a fragile girl. She knew exactly what she was doing, understood her own value to Cliff—both as a hostage and as something deeper, something even he had yet to define.He held out the vial of medicine before her, his gaze cold. “Drink it. This is Cliff’s order.”Alice didn’t reach for it immediately. Instead, she lifted her thin hand and gently brushed her fingers against the glass. Her fingertips were cold, as if they had lost all warmth. “Right now, you still have a chance to cooperate with me. Why don’t you consider it?”Vein frowned slightly, unsettled by her unnerving calm. “You think Cliff would make a mistake?”“It’s not a matter of thinking—I know he will.” Alice whispered, her voice

    “Marry me, Alice.”His voice was hoarse, but every word carried deep sincerity. “I love you. I’ve loved you for so long, but I was too foolish to realize it sooner. I left you, I hurt you… but now, I don’t want to lose you ever again. I want you by my side—forever.”Alice felt dizzy. She had never imagined that Cliff would say these words. The cold, domineering, and violent man she had known was now kneeling before her, pleading for her to love him once more.“You’ve never left my heart,” Cliff continued, his gaze filled with pain. “I know I don’t deserve you, but please… give me a chance. Let me prove my love for you.”Alice clenched her hands tightly. She didn’t know how to respond. For years, she had longed to hear these words from him—but not like this. Not when she was his prisoner, not when she was no longer the naive girl who once loved him so foolishly.She opened her mouth, but no words came out.Cliff remained on one knee, his eyes filled with desperation. Gone was the arrog

  • The Billionaire EX-Husband Wants To Reconcile Again!   Chapter 113: Flirtation

    In the days that followed, Alice gradually realized that the surveillance on her had significantly lessened. At first, she remained skeptical, suspecting that it was merely a trap to gauge her reaction. But after several days of testing, she found that she could indeed move freely around the island without too many people watching her closely. Occasionally, she still felt a few lingering gazes, but the level of vigilance had noticeably decreased.Cliff continued to appear frequently. He made no effort to hide his particular interest in her. In their conversations, he always presented himself as a considerate man, attuned to her emotions. He tried to create a comfortable atmosphere—sometimes asking about her feelings, sometimes sharing stories he deemed interesting. But Alice was not naive enough to believe that Cliff simply wanted to comfort her. His persistence, the careful choice of his words—everything pointed to a greater purpose.Today was no different. Cliff approached her as sh

    Vein remained silent for a moment, weighing all the possibilities in his mind. Alice wasn’t wrong—Cliff was someone who never fully trusted anyone. No matter how secure Vein’s position seemed now, one mistake would be enough for Cliff to discard him without hesitation.His gaze swept over Alice. Her eyes were calm yet razor-sharp, like a blade poised to strike. She wasn’t afraid. She wasn’t passive. If anything, she was the one controlling the situation. Vein lowered his eyes, tapping his fingers lightly against the table before slowly taking out a phone and placing it in front of her."Don’t forget your promise." His tone was unreadable—was it a warning or a reminder?Alice reached out, her fingers gliding over the smooth glass surface of the phone. A faint smile played on her lips. "I’m not one to break my word."The conversation ended there. Vein didn’t linger. He left swiftly, leaving Alice alone with her thoughts. She stared at the phone in her hand, her gaze flickering.

    Without hesitation, Louis immediately made a call to mobilize his subordinates. "I need all of you to prepare immediately. We have an address. This time, I don’t want any mistakes. If it’s really Alice, I will bring her back no matter what. If it’s a trap… let’s see if they even dare to set one for me." His voice was low, but it carried a chilling intensity.Under the dim light, Louis’s eyes gleamed with determination. He wouldn’t let anyone take Alice from him again.His gaze remained locked on the phone screen, sharp and unwavering. A set of coordinates from Alice had just arrived. Without hesitation, he ordered his men to track the location. His grip on the phone tightened as an uneasy premonition stirred in his chest, but he knew he couldn’t let this opportunity slip away.Louis immediately contacted Ron and July. The moment July heard the news, she practically jumped out of her seat. "We should form a team to search for Alice!" she declared, her tone leaving no room for argument.

    Louis sat in the command seat, his eyes fixed intently on the island gradually coming into view. His heart pounded in his chest, each passing second cutting into his patience like a sharpened blade. Alice… She was there, imprisoned, suffering—how? The thought sent a surge of fury through him, but he had to stay calm. This wasn’t just a mission—this was redemption. He wouldn’t lose her again.His hand tightened around the seatbelt, his knuckles turning white. He closed his eyes for a brief moment, and Alice’s smiling face appeared in his mind. Her voice, her bright gaze—everything about her urged him to move faster, to be stronger. When he opened his eyes again, only cold determination remained.The radio crackled in his earpiece. "Target in sight. The island is ahead—signs of guards present." A voice came through from the reconnaissance team.Louis nodded, his gaze resolute. "Everyone, get ready.

    Louis immediately became panicked, quickly getting out of bed. His whole body swayed, and his legs were so weak that he nearly fell. He had to hold onto the edge of the bed, his breath rapid, his heart pounding, still recovering from the long faint. Fortunately, his body was strong and recovered quickly, though he still felt a bit dizzy, and his vision was blurry.Not having time to worry about himself, he urgently asked, "How is Alice?"July suddenly fell silent, not saying anything. Her abrupt stop made Louis suspicious. He looked at her with a questioning gaze, his heart racing with a bad feeling.July's eyes flickered slightly, hesitation passing in a moment, but she couldn't hide the deep sorrow within. She looked at Louis as though considering whether or not to tell the truth, her lips pressed together, hesitant and speechless.Louis felt his palms go cold. July's silence was like an invisible hand tightening around his chest. A sense of unease spread through his body, every cel

  • The Billionaire EX-Husband Wants To Reconcile Again!   Chapter 123: Fatigue

    Hearing that name, Louis’s body trembled slightly. He looked up, his eyes bloodshot from lack of sleep, filled with extreme exhaustion but also carrying an unspoken pain. His voice came out hoarse:"I can’t leave… I have to stay here, wait for her to wake up…"Ron clenched his fists, turning his face away to hide his emotions. In the stark white hospital room, worry and despair intertwined, enveloping everything.Louis slowly stood up, his eyes fixed on Alice lying in the hospital bed. She was still motionless, her weak breath completely dependent on the oxygen machine beside her. Alice’s body had noticeably weakened, her pale skin lifeless, making her seem as fragile as a delicate princess lost in a long, deep sleep. The painful tightness in Louis’s chest made him clench his hands to keep from letting out a sigh.He closed his eyes, as if trying to calm himself, but Alice’s image remained firmly etched in his mind. He couldn’t forget what Mrs. Campbell had just said. "If you collapse

    Her face was covered in dirt, with small wounds bleeding on her forehead and cheek, but in this moment, Alice was still strangely beautiful. A satisfied smile appeared on her lips, even as tears involuntarily spilled, mixing with sweat and dust. Her eyes sparkled in the fiery red glow of the sunset, gentle yet full of sorrow. She loved Louis, and that had never changed.She spread her arms wide, waiting for the deadly embrace from Cliff.Louis and the others watched in despair as the scene unfolded before them. Louis rushed forward, wanting to pull Alice out of danger, but a figure moved faster than him—Vein.It turned out, he hadn’t died.The memory from the laboratory flashed back: Cliff’s final bullet had grazed Vein’s forehead, leaving a deep but non-fatal wound. When Cliff had left, he had sneered one last time, saying, "Get lost!" He thought Vein was no longer of any use, not worth finishing off. But now, Vein appeared, like a demon from hell, to stop everything.His messy hair

    Cliff smirked, his eyes gleaming with challenge."So this is how you want to talk like a man? If that's the case, then let Alice go." Louis' voice was low, but the danger in every word was evident.Cliff burst out laughing, the gun in his hand still pressed against Alice's temple. "You think I'm stupid, Louis? I'm not crazy enough to let her go so easily." He gritted his teeth, his eyes flashing with madness. "If you want to save her, then come over here."Just as Louis was about to take a step forward, Alice suddenly screamed, her voice hoarse with pain and fear. "Don’t! Louis, don’t move!" She struggled, but her strength had drained, her legs too weak to stand. Still, her eyes remained resolute.Louis froze, his gaze meeting Alice's with profound sorrow. She was protecting him, even though she was in the most perilous situation. The anger inside him burned fiercer than ever, but he remained patient, knowing that one wrong move could make Cliff act instantly.Cliff narrowed his eyes

    Alice froze, her breath quick and shallow, feeling the suffocating grip of his embrace. Cliff’s face was close to her ear, a twisted smile still lingering on his lips."Alice, are you scared?" His voice whispered, laced with fake tenderness. "It’s just a joke, my love... I’m only trying to scare you."But immediately, his expression shifted. His eyes gleamed with madness, his muscles tensing, and his low voice suddenly turned fierce, like a thunderclap."But even if I destroy you… I’ll do it right in front of Louis!" He hissed each word, his eyes burning with a hatred so intense that it seemed to bring him a twisted pleasure.With that, Cliff bent down, gripping Alice’s arm tightly and roughly yanking her up from the ground. No gentleness, no pity—he dragged her as though she were nothing more than a discarded object. Alice staggered, her legs aching as if thousands of needles were piercing her skin, but she gritted her teeth, forcing herself to keep up with Cliff’s swift pace to avoi

    But just then, her foot got caught on a large vine hidden among the rotting leaves. She didn't have time to react, her entire body was yanked downward, losing its balance. A wave of panic swept over her, and in the next moment, she rolled down a rocky slope.Alice screamed in pain as sharp stones and dry branches hit her body. Each impact was a sharp, piercing pain that seemed to cut through her flesh, and she even heard a dry "crack"—perhaps a few bones had broken. When her body finally stopped at the foot of the slope, the pain was almost unbearable, leaving her gasping for breath. Her body trembled, and her vision blurred from tears that welled up from the excruciating agony. Alice sobbed, her breaths caught in her throat. She wanted to scream, to cry out loud, but she couldn't. There was no time to be weak.Biting her lip until it bled, Alice shakily pushed her hands into the ground, trying to lift her battered body. But the pain from her ribs nearly made her collapse again. Don’t

    The sound of the helicopter echoed in the sky, making her heart race. A spark of hope flickered in her mind, and she almost wanted to laugh despite being in a life-or-death situation. She whispered, as if to reassure herself: "They're coming... they're really coming..."But if she didn’t manage to escape, if she was caught again... Alice didn’t dare to imagine what would happen. What would Cliff do to her? His cold face, eyes full of absolute control, appeared in her mind, making her shiver. She didn’t want to be locked up in that dark room again, trapped like a bird in a cage, losing both her freedom and hope. No! She had to run! She had to escape from here at any cost!Alice had nearly given up everything to get this far. Over the past few days, she had starved herself to create a pitiful appearance, tricking Cliff into lowering his guard. But that had also made her much weaker. Her legs felt heavy, each step felt like walking on sharp blades. Her empty stomach clenched painfully, h

    Cliff didn’t answer, only lunged again. In his eyes, there was only betrayal and fury, as if all the years they had fought side by side meant nothing anymore. But deep in his heart, a fear gnawed at him—the fear of failure. Could it be that he was going to lose again? Was everything he had worked for, everything he had done, going to be taken from him once more? No… he couldn’t let that happen.Vein quickly sidestepped, delivering a kick aimed at Cliff’s ribs. But Cliff was too enraged to feel the pain. He grabbed Vein by the collar and punched him squarely in the face again.The two of them struggled, crashing into the lab table, causing everything to shatter in chaos. Sharp shards of glass cut into their skin, blood dripping in droplets. Their eyes met for a brief moment—Cliff’s eyes were ablaze with fury, ready to burn everything down, while Vein’s eyes were cold, distant, yet tinged with something resembling... pity. No matter how intelligent Vein was, he could not overcome the in
