The Billionaire's Underrated Ex-Wife Is A Secret Agent 66: Dealing With All Of It
Allison's POV.I was sitting upright in my hospital bed, feeling every bit of the pain from my injuries. The dull ache in my back and the sharp sting in my arm made me feel like I’d been through a blender and then carefully put back together. The medications had eased some of the pain, but my body still felt heavy and bruised.The door creaked open, and Viktoh, Mia, and two other team members walked in. Viktoh was his usual composed self, but I could see the concern in his eyes. Mia looked worried but was trying to hide it behind a brave face. The other two, Alex and Ryan, followed them in, both looking serious and ready for business.“Hey, Allison,” Mia said softly as she took a seat next to my bed. “How are you feeling?”“Like I’ve been run over,” I replied, attempting a small smile. “But I’m alive, so that’s something.”Viktoh took the chair across from me, his face lined with concentration. “We need to figure out who did this and why. This attack seems too precise to be random.
The Billionaire's Underrated Ex-Wife Is A Secret Agent 67: A Battle For Her Heart
Edward's POVSeeing Williams slither back into Allison's life like some snake after she got shot made my blood boil. I never thought I'd see the day when I'd have to endure his presence again, especially not in such a vulnerable situation. The same bastard who tried to bribe me to stay away from Allison, the rich, insensitive slime who shattered her heart and left her broken. I wanted nothing more than to put my fist through his face and knock some sense into him, but I couldn't afford to lose control—not then, not when Allison needed stability.Every time I saw him, my anger flared. It was like he’d been given a free pass to waltz back into her life, like nothing ever happened. Each encounter with him felt like a direct affront, a taunt. This man, who used his wealth and power to screw over Allison, now stood there looking all concerned, trying to play the hero. It was infuriating.I had to keep my cool, though. For Allison's sake. She’d been through enough, and I couldn’t let m
The Billionaire's Underrated Ex-Wife Is A Secret Agent 68: The Hidden Threat In Disguise
Allison's POV.The room felt lighter after Edward left. With him gone, it was just Williams and me. He looked relieved but still worried. I could see he was tired.“Allison,” Williams said softly as he sat by my bed. “I know you’re awake now, but—”I interrupted him gently. “Williams, you don’t need to stay here. You have other things to do—your companies, your life. I’m sure you’re uncomfortable.”Williams looked like he was about to argue. “I’m not trying to win you back, Allison. I just—”I shook my head and gave a tired smile. “I’m not dead. It’s time for you to go. You’re just standing here, and I bet you’re not comfortable. You can come back later, but you don’t need to stay now.”Williams opened his mouth to protest, but his phone rang loudly. He glanced at the screen, his face turning serious. “I need to take this,” he said, and he walked away from my side.I watched him leave, and the room fell silent. I thought about the dream I had while I was under anesthesia. My father’s
The Billionaire's Underrated Ex-Wife Is A Secret Agent 69: The Last Stand: Fight For Survival
Allison's POV.The way she was holding that syringe, the way she kept glancing at me with a forced smile, made my stomach churn.I squinted at the syringe she held up, and my heart sank. I recognized the type of syringe and its contents. It was a syringe filled with a potent poison known as ‘Cyanide-30.’ My breath quickened.“Please, just relax,” the nurse continued, her voice still sweet and calm. “This will help you feel better.”I was weak from the earlier medication and my injuries, but I knew I had to act. With as much strength as I could muster, I tried to push the trolley away. The nurse’s smile never wavered, but her eyes narrowed slightly. “Let’s make this easy,” she said, her tone turning colder. She turned away to refill the syringe with another vial, but I saw my chance. I pushed against her, trying to dislodge her from her task.“Stop it!” I shouted, though my voice was hoarse. I grabbed at her arm, but she quickly maneuvered the trolley to block me. Her expression harde
The Billionaire's Underrated Ex-Wife Is A Secret Agent 70: Jessica's Plot
Jessica’s POV.I slammed the phone down with a force that made it rattle across the table, my frustration boiling over. The plan had failed spectacularly. Allison was still alive, and I had been forced to watch as her name appeared on the hospital’s patient list. My heart pounded with anger as I replayed the details in my mind. The plan to eliminate her had been so close to succeeding, only to unravel because of that idiot Sam.The room around me felt too small, the walls of my studio apartment closing in as I paced. My thoughts raced. I had followed William to the hospital, keeping my hood low and blending into the crowd. I had seen him enter and watched as he talked with nurses. It was clear he was visiting a patient who had survived a gunshot. The realization that it was Allison had made my blood boil. In a fit of rage, I had stormed back to my apartment and called Sam, demanding answers. “What the hell happened?” I had snarled into the phone, barely containing my fury. “Why is Al
The Billionaire's Underrated Ex-Wife Is A Secret Agent 71: Pregnant? Good God!
Williams POV.I paced back and forth in my dimly lit study, the shadows of the room mirroring the turmoil inside me. The news hit me like a freight train—Jessica, pregnant. I could hardly wrap my mind around it. I hadn’t touched her since before Allison came into my life. The very thought of Jessica being pregnant, and claiming it was mine, felt like a cruel joke. I slammed my fist on the desk, scattering papers across the floor. My heart raced as I tried to process what this meant. I had thought I was done with Jessica for good. I thought the past was behind me. But now, she had managed to pull me back into her web, and I was caught in a storm of confusion and dread.My thoughts drifted to Allison. The memory of her miscarriage, a consequence of my carelessness, weighed heavily on my mind. The guilt was a constant companion, gnawing at me whenever I was alone. I had wanted to make things right, to be a better man. And now, here I was, facing the possibility of a child with Jessic
The Billionaire's Underrated Ex-Wife Is A Secret Agent 72: Safe Haven
Allison's POV.I woke up groggy, disoriented, and in a place that wasn’t the hospital. The walls were bare, the room a bit dark, and the air was filled with the scent of antiseptic. I glanced around, trying to piece together my fragmented memories. This wasn’t the sterile, cold environment of a hospital. This was different, more clandestine. I realized I was in one of our secret agent hideouts—The Sanctuary. The realization brought a slight sense of relief amidst the confusion.By my side was Mia, her face was of concern and relief. She looked up from the small medical kit she was holding, her eyes softening when she saw I was awake. “Allison, you’re finally up,” she said, her voice soothing. “You were brought here right after you passed out at the hospital.”I tried to sit up, groaning from the pain that shot through my body. My bandages had been changed, and I noticed my clothes were different—new and fresh, probably taken from a nearby safe house. My mind raced as I recalled the a
The Billionaire's Underrated Ex-Wife Is A Secret Agent 73: In A Tight Spot
Williams POV.The house was quiet as I paced back and forth in the grand living room. The news about Jessica’s pregnancy had left me in a state of numb acceptance. My bodyguards had just brought her back, along with her belongings, after confirming the pregnancy. Three months. The timing meant that the child was mine. I hadn’t wanted to believe it, but the facts were undeniable.I looked around the room, struggling with anger and resignation. This was not how I envisioned my life unraveling. The child was a reality now, and I had to accept it, even if it came with Jessica’s return. I couldn’t deny it, no matter how much I wanted to. Jessica’s presence was a reminder of the mistakes I had made, and it was impossible to escape the harsh reality of the situation.When Jessica finally stepped through the door, she took a deep breath, almost as if she was savoring her return. “It’s good to be back here again,” she said with a forced cheerfulness.Her words felt hollow, and I could barely m

The Billionaire's Underrated Ex-Wife Is A Secret Agent Epilogue
Allison's POV.Two months had passed since that nightmare, and Jessica was finally where she belonged: back in prison. Turns out, she had escaped with the help of her five-star general brother, James. But justice had a way of catching up to people like her. She was given more life sentences, no chance of parole this time, and James? Stripped of his rank, kicked out of the military, and sentenced to 15 years behind bars. The news was the most satisfying thing I’d heard in a long time.And Viktor Romanov? He couldn’t take the heat. The torture got to him. He’d ended his own life rather than face more of what was coming to him. It was hard to feel anything for him, knowing what he’d done to me, but at least that chapter was closed.I was still healing, but at least I was on my feet again. Viktoh had given me a six-month leave, after everything I’d suffered, and I wasn’t about to argue. I needed the time away. Time to breathe, to heal, to focus on what truly mattered.And today, it was ti
The Billionaire's Underrated Ex-Wife Is A Secret Agent 120: The Breaking Point
Allison's POV.My chest tightened, but I forced myself to sit up straighter. She shouldn’t be here. "You’re supposed to be in prison," I said, my voice steady despite the flood of memories—memories of how she had turned my life upside down, destroyed everything I had with Williams, and left me broken in more ways than one.Jessica’s smile only widened, her eyes gleaming with malice. "I got out." Her tone was casual, like she was discussing the weather. She stepped closer, and I could feel the venom between us. This woman… she had ruined everything. She had turned Williams against me, manipulated him, and made sure I lost our baby that night when I ran through the rain, heartbroken. That accident had ripped my world apart, and Jessica’s hands were all over it.And even after I came back, stronger and more dangerous than before, Jessica hadn’t stopped. She had tried to kill me more times than I could count. The desperation in her had reached insane levels, trying to trap Williams with
The Billionaire's Underrated Ex-Wife Is A Secret Agent 119: The Return
Allison’s POVThe steady beeping of the machines was the only sound filling the room, but I couldn’t focus on it. The sharp scent of antiseptic lingered in the air, making the sterile hospital walls seem even colder. My body ached in ways I hadn’t known were possible, but I was alive. I was here.The door creaked open softly, and I turned my head. It took a second for my eyes to adjust, but then I saw him—Williams, standing in the doorway, looking at me with an expression I couldn’t quite place. Was it relief? Concern?He stepped inside, his movements tentative, like he wasn’t sure if he should be here. His gaze swept over me, taking in the IVs, the bruises, the bandages. I could tell he was trying to hold it together, but the tension in his jaw gave him away.“Williams,” I whispered, my voice was shaky and low. I watched as he came closer, his eyes scanning my face. There was something in his expression I hadn't seen before—a softness, a vulnerability. When he reached my bedside, I
The Billionaire's Underrated Ex-Wife Is A Secret Agent 118: An Uninvited Guest
Jessica's POV.“Jessica?”I smirked as his voice rang through the office, laced with confusion. He hadn’t expected this. He hadn’t expected me. I slowly pulled back the hood of my jacket, revealing my face. His eyes widened, disbelief washing over his usually composed expression."Surprised to see me?" I asked, my voice light, teasing. I watched him carefully, savoring every second of his stunned reaction. His jaw tightened, but he said nothing at first, his sharp gaze piercing into me like daggers."I was released last week." I gave him a coy smile, stepping further into the office, the click of my heels sounding in the silence. His office was just as I remembered it—cold, impersonal, like the man who sat behind the desk. But I wasn’t here for the decor.Williams’s face remained hardened, but there was a flicker of something else in his eyes—anger, or maybe it was disgust. Either way, I had expected it.“What do you want, Jessica?” His voice was firm, devoid of any warmth or welcome.
The Billionaire's Underrated Ex-Wife Is A Secret Agent 117: Truth
Allison's POV.I blinked against the sterile light filtering in through the window, the room coming into focus in slow, painful waves. My body ached, every inch of me reminding me of what I had been through. But the confusion in my mind was worse. I didn’t know where I was, or how I had gotten here. The hospital.The smell of antiseptic, the steady beeping of machines—it was unmistakable. I was in a hospital bed, covered in bandages, weak and barely able to move. I tried to piece together how I’d ended up here. The last thing I remembered was Viktor, his cold, merciless eyes glaring down at me as his men... My stomach twisted at the memory. The torture, the pain. It was all too vivid, too raw.How did I survive?I shifted slightly, wincing as the pain flared across my ribs. That’s when I noticed Mia, fast asleep in the chair beside me, her head resting awkwardly on the armrest. She looked exhausted, her hair messy, dark circles under her eyes. “Mia?” My voice came out hoarse, barely
The Billionaire's Underrated Ex-Wife Is A Secret Agent 116: The Fear Of Losing Her
Williams POV.The world outside the ambulance blurred as we sped toward the hospital. My heart was pounding, faster than it ever had before. Mia sat across from me, her eyes wide and focused on Allison’s frail form, but all I could do was hold her hand, feeling the warmth slowly fade from her skin.“Allison, hold on,” I whispered, more to myself than to her. Her chest barely moved, her breaths shallow and ragged. I gripped her hand tighter, my throat burning. I was losing her.Mia’s voice cut through the suffocating silence, soft but steady. “She’s strong, Williams. She’ll pull through.”I didn’t answer. The weight of everything bore down on me like a heavy stone pressing against my chest. Her bruised face was a reminder of what they had done. Of what I couldn’t protect her from. Every bump in the road felt like a countdown.As we reached the hospital, paramedics rushed to pull her stretcher out, shouting medical jargon I couldn’t understand. My legs felt weak as I at my side, but my
The Billionaire's Underrated Ex-Wife Is A Secret Agent 115: To Her Rescue
Williams POV.The smell of blood and gunpowder filled the air. The gunfire was deafening, bullets ricocheting off the metal walls of the factory. I could barely hear Viktoh shouting orders to the team, but my eyes were locked on one thing. Her.Allison.She was barely seen through the smoke and chaos, slumped in a chair in the middle of the room, her body bound and battered. Blood stained her clothes, her face was swollen and bruised beyond recognition. It was as if someone had taken all the light out of her. My heart stopped.Viktor Romanov and his men were hunkered down, exchanging fire with Edward and the rest of the team. Edward was pushing forward with calculated aggression, taking out one of Viktor’s men before he had a chance to reload. Viktoh's men moved in, flanking the room, trapping Viktor’s crew.“Take them down!” Viktoh shouted, his voice cutting through the noise.Romanov’s eyes flicked to me for just a second, a twisted smile playing on his lips. He knew what he had don
The Billionaire's Underrated Ex-Wife Is A Secret Agent 114: Finding Her
Williams POV.Five days. Five long, agonizing days since Allison disappeared. And now, I was standing in warehouse next to the one man I despised more than anything—Edward Blackwood. The fact that I even agreed to work with him felt like a betrayal of my own pride, but this was about Allison, not me. I reminded myself of that, over and over.Allison.She was out there, somewhere, in Viktor Romanov’s hands. And if anyone could survive what that monster was capable of, it was her. She was a fighter. I knew it. But as each day passed, doubt began to creep into my mind.I looked at Edward out of the corner of my eye. His jaw was clenched so tight, I could see the muscles twitching in his face. The man was a damn brute, always had been. But there was no denying he was useful in moments like these. He didn’t just sit back and wait for things to fall into place like most people. He took action, even if that action was reckless.Right now, we needed that recklessness."Tell me what you know,
The Billionaire's Underrated Ex-Wife Is A Secret Agent 113: Torture
Allison's POV.The pain had no beginning or end. It was everywhere, all at once. I couldn’t tell if my heart was racing or if it had stopped altogether, but I felt the rhythm of agony pulsing through every nerve in my body. My wrists were raw from the ropes that bound me, and I could feel blood pooling beneath me where the chair had already cut into my skin. I barely registered the cold, metallic floor beneath me anymore; all I could feel was the endless, burning pain.Viktor’s shadow was over me, the twisted grin on his face searing itself into my memory. He wasn’t done. I knew it. He was just getting started. Every time I thought I couldn’t take more, he found a new way to make me suffer."Bring her back," he commanded, his voice sharp and cruel. He gestured to one of his men with a flick of his wrist. "I want to hear her scream."A ragged breath left my lips, a pitiful sound I hated myself for making. I tried to prepare myself, tried to push the pain away, but when I saw what the m
