The Billionaire's Underrated Ex-Wife Is A Secret Agent 95: The Need To Protect Her
Williams’s POVMy mansion was quieter than ever, which only made the tension worse. The kid had finally stopped crying and drifted off to sleep in the backseat during the drive here. I glanced at her reflection in the rearview mirror—her little face streaked with dried tears, her tiny fists curled into her chest. She was innocent in all this, yet somehow caught up in the mess of my past with Allison. I sighed heavily. I didn’t sign up for this—taking care of a child while gunmen hunted us down—but when Allison had handed her to me, I couldn’t say no. Not to Allison. Not when she looked at me with those eyes that still had a grip on my soul.I pulled up to the driveway and stepped out, careful not to wake the kid as I unbuckled her from the seat. She stirred a bit, clinging to me when I lifted her into my arms. For a moment, holding her like this, I couldn’t help but imagine...what if? What if this child had been mine and Allison’s? If Allison hadn’t lost our baby, that child would b
The Billionaire's Underrated Ex-Wife Is A Secret Agent 96: Between Duty And Matters Of The Heart
Allison’s POVI stared at the map sprawled out across the table. My knuckles tightened, my nails digging into the edge of the table as Mia delivered the news. Viktor Romanov had pulled it off. The bastard had carried out the heist at the jewelry shop, just like I anticipated. But we were too distracted, too late to stop him. I could feel the fury rising like bile in my throat. I wanted to tear him apart with my bare hands. “We were too slow,” Mia said, frustration evident in her tone as she leaned back against the wall, arms crossed. Her usually calm face was tight with anger, a rare sight that only amplified how badly things had gone.I slammed my fist against the table, causing the metal to rattle. “Too slow? It’s not just about being slow. We were blindsided, distracted by those decoys he sent out. It was a damn setup from the start!” My voice came out sharp, almost a snarl, as I struggled to keep my emotions in check.Mia nodded, her gaze steady but burning with the same intensit
The Billionaire's Underrated Ex-Wife Is A Secret Agent 97: Disguising To Trick The Enemy
Allison's POV.The loud bass thrummed in my chest as I squeezed through the crowd. The stench of sweat and spilled liquor hung thick in the air, mingling with the sweet, artificial scent of perfume from women dancing on poles and laughing in skimpy outfits. In my baggy hoodie, oversized glasses, and cap pulled low, I blended right in. Just a nerdy, awkward boy caught in the wrong place—exactly how I wanted to appear.I kept my head down as I made my way to the edge of the VIP section, where the real action was. Viktor Romanov, surrounded by his usual thugs and a few cheap women clinging to his arms, was seated like a king among his court. I couldn’t help but feel a cold wave of rage course through me at the sight of him laughing without a care, as if he hadn’t left a trail of bodies and ruined lives in his wake. But I couldn’t let my emotions show. Not yet.Instead, I let my eyes wander like an awkward teenager’s would, making a show of gawking at the women dancing on stage. It was th
The Billionaire's Underrated Ex-Wife Is A Secret Agent 98: All For Her
Williams' POVI stared at the little girl sitting on the edge of the couch, her tiny hands clutching a stuffed bear that looked as depressed as she did. Her big, teary eyes were red from crying, and every attempt I made to cheer her up had failed miserably. I’d tried everything—cartoons, toys, even a whole tray of cookies. But nothing could replace Allison in her tiny world."Mary, maybe you can try?" I asked, my voice edged with desperation as I glanced at my maid. Mary was kind and experienced, practically a child-whisperer. If anyone could reach this little girl, it would be her.Mary knelt beside the child and gently stroked her hair. "Hey there, sweetie," she cooed softly. "Do you want to play with your bear? Or maybe we can draw something pretty?"The girl didn’t respond. She didn’t even look up, her gaze fixed on the floor as if it held the answers to all her problems. I could see the concern in Mary’s eyes as she shot me a helpless look.“She’s just missing Allison,” I muttere
The Billionaire's Underrated Ex-Wife Is A Secret Agent 99: Running Into Eachother
Allison's POV.I pulled my hoodie down further, the cold wind biting at my cheeks as I walked briskly down the sidewalk. The city was alive with noise—the hum of traffic, the distant chatter of people, the occasional horn blaring from impatient drivers. I kept my head down, focusing on the cracked pavement beneath my boots. Just another day blending in, hiding in plain sight. That was the life I had chosen, or rather, the life that had been forced upon me.But then, through the thick fabric of my hoodie, I felt it. That inexplicable sense of being watched. It wasn’t just paranoia—I knew this feeling too well. My instincts screamed at me to keep moving, but something made me glance up, just for a split second.And that’s when I saw him. Williams. His piercing gaze locked onto mine through the tinted window of the sleek black car gliding past. My heart skipped a beat. Damn it. I yanked my hoodie lower, picking up my pace, pretending I hadn’t seen him, that it wasn’t me he had just recog
The Billionaire's Underrated Ex-Wife Is A Secret Agent 100: Getting Involved Again
Allison’s POV“Allison!” Williams grabbed my arm, spinning me around to face him. “What’s going on? Why are you running?”I jerked my arm free, glaring at him. “You need to leave, now.”“If they’ve seen you, they’ve seen me,” he shot back, his voice firm. “I’m not going anywhere.”I could see the boldness in his eyes, the way his jaw was set. He wasn’t going to back down. Before I could argue, the unmistakable sound of gunshots rang out, echoing through the streets. Screams erupted from the crowd as people scattered in every direction, panicked and desperate to escape.“They’ve already started shooting,” I hissed, pulling him into a nearby doorway as the crowd surged around us. I peeked out, spotting Viktor’s men weaving through the chaos, guns drawn, their eyes scanning for any sign of us.“We need to move,” I said, my mind racing. I couldn’t let them find us—not with Williams here. If anything happened to him, it would be on me.Williams nodded, but there was a determined glint in h
The Billionaire's Underrated Ex-Wife Is A Secret Agent 101: In The Line Of Fire
Allison's POV.We stayed silent for a while, the sound of our breathing mingling with the distant footsteps of Viktor's men outside. The tension was thick, a coiled spring ready to snap at any moment. My mind raced, calculating our options. This storage room was a temporary sanctuary, but it wouldn’t hold for long if they decided to sweep the area.Williams leaned against the wall opposite me, his eyes still locked on mine. There was a question there, something he was holding back. I could see the wheels turning in his head, trying to figure out what exactly he’d gotten himself into. But instead of asking, he simply nodded, a silent acknowledgment that he was ready for whatever came next.A sudden crash outside made both of us flinch. I pressed my ear to the door, straining to hear. The voices were louder now, closer. My pulse quickened. We needed a plan, and fast.“Look,” I whispered, turning back to Williams, “they’re closing in. We need to create a diversion, something to throw the
The Billionaire's Underrated Ex-Wife Is A Secret Agent 102: Upset
Williams' POVAs I walked back through the city streets, the adrenaline from our narrow escape still pulsing through my veins, I couldn’t shake the image of Allison’s face—determined, fierce, and yet, beneath it all, vulnerable. I had seen that look before, in those brief moments when her guard slipped, and it twisted something deep inside me. I hated that I had to leave her like that, alone in the middle of a war zone, but what choice did I have? She insisted, and I knew better than to argue when she was in that state.But damn it, it felt wrong. Every step away from her felt like a betrayal.Jonathan was waiting by the car, his expression impassive as always, but I could tell he’d been tense. He’d seen the gunfire, heard the commotion. “Is everything alright, sir?” he asked as I approached.“No, Jonathan, everything is far from alright,” I replied, my voice sharper than I intended. I yanked open the car door and slid into the back seat, trying to calm the storm in my head. “Drive.”
