All Chapters of It's Pay Back Time, My Ex-Husband!: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

An old warehouse on the outskirts of town, where the air is thick with tension, like a balloon about to pop. Sophia finds herself tied to a chair, her heart racing like a drum as she takes in her surroundings. The faint sound of laughter echoes from a nearby group of Julian and Vanessa’s men, who are clearly relishing the chaos they’ve stirred up.Sophia tugged at the ropes binding her wrists, her pulse racing like a sprinter at the starting line. “I have to get out of here,” she whispered to herself, glancing around the dimly lit room that felt more like a set from a suspense movie than a place she could escape from. Shadows danced along the walls, swirling and twirling as if they were part of a macabre ballet, and the flickering overhead bulb cast a ghostly glow that would have made even the bravest shiver.“Look who’s finally awake!” Julian’s voice rang out, slicing through her thoughts like a hot knife through butter. He stepped into the light, a smug grin plastered across his fa

“This is absolutely absurd!” Alexander grumbled, rubbing his temples as if he could physically massage away the swirling chaos of the night’s events. “I should have been there for her!”“Hey, hold on a second! You’re alive, and that’s what really matters!” Brian’s voice sliced through Alexander’s spiral of despair. He looked up to find Brian, his dependable right-hand man, sliding into the booth across from him with an expression that was half concern, half determination. “We need to talk.”“Talk? What’s there to even discuss?” Alexander snapped, his frustration bubbling like a boiling pot. “Sophia is still out there, and I simply don’t have time for chit-chat!”Brian shifted uneasily in his seat, glancing around the bustling diner as if to ensure that no prying ears were lurking nearby. “I know you’re upset, but we need to keep our heads in the game.”“Focus? On what, exactly? The fact that I’ve just been shot, and Sophia’s in real trouble?” Alexander leaned in, his voice rising in i

Sophia’s heart raced as she heard the unmistakable sound of footsteps drawing near. With a theatrical creak, the door swung open, and in sauntered Julian, exuding confidence with a predatory smile that could curdle milk. “Ah, our little captive is awake,” he declared, his voice oozing with playful mockery. “What a delight to see you again, Sophia. What? Do you think that we are too weak that you can able to totally escape?"“Get away from me!” she shot back, her words sharp as arrows, trembling with a defiant fire that flickered in her eyes.“Such spirit!” he chuckled, striding closer with the swagger of a cat toying with a mouse. “But you know, that fire can be snuffed out quicker than you think. It all depends on how you choose to play the game.”“What game?” she challenged, forcing herself to meet his gaze with a bravery she didn’t quite feel. “You really think you can intimidate me? You’re barking up the wrong tree.”Julian’s grin widened, but the sparkle in his eyes hinted at sha

“Alexander,” Vanessa’s voice glided through the phone, smooth and calculated like a finely tuned melody. “I’ve been mulling over your predicament, and I believe we can strike a deal that benefits us both.”“What kind of deal?” he shot back, his heart thumping wildly against his chest. “I’m not interested in your little games.”“Oh, this is far from a game,” she replied, a playful lilt dancing in her tone. “This is a golden opportunity for you to reunite with Sophia. All it takes is for you to meet my terms.”“What do you want?” he pressed, a tight knot forming in his stomach like a coiled spring ready to snap.“A simple transaction,” she said, confidence oozing from her voice like syrup. “Hand over a hefty sum—let’s say five million—and agree to my conditions. Then, you’ll have the chance to see Sophia again. No tricks, no traps. Just a straightforward exchange.”“Five million?!” Alexander echoed, disbelief crashing over him like a wave. “You think I just have that kind of cash sittin

The smoke curled and twirled in the night air, wrapping around Alexander and Sophia like an unwelcome shawl as they burst onto the rooftop, their breaths coming in ragged gasps, hearts pounding like a drum in their chests. Below them, the distant wail of sirens harmonized with the crackling embers that danced like fireflies, but up here? Ah, up here, the city sprawled out in all its glittering glory, an endless sea of lights.Sophia pressed her back against the rusty water tank, its metallic surface cold and unforgiving. She gripped Alexander’s wrist just as he was about to dart off into the unknown. “Wait!” she hissed, her voice barely rising above the whispering wind that tousled their hair. “Do you hear that?”In an instant, Alexander froze, straining to catch the faint murmur of voices drifting over the low concrete barrier. He edged closer, moving with the stealth of a cat, peering into the shadowy depths at the rooftop’s far edge.There stood Julian, leaning casually against the
