Billionaire Ex-wife: I Can't Live Without You

The house lacked soundproofing, allowing the conversation between Lucinda and Hilda to drift to him clearly from inside.

Hilda was merely a woman from an impoverished village, living in isolation in such a secluded place.

Could that really be safe? His brow furrowed deeply as he considered seizing the moment to sneak into the inner room, hoping to find photographs of her husband and son.

While he was standing in the yard, another gunshot echoed suddenly.

Although it originated from a distant area, the sound pierced the air sharply.

Moments later, Nathans phone rang.

It was Sonny on the line.

Nathan, Ive located the shooter in the woods.

Kyson and I were heading there when he disassembled his sniper rifle, trying to escape.novelbin

We pursued him down the mountain.

The gunshot you heard was mine.

I shot him in the leg.

He cant move quickly now, and Lonnies men have him surrounded.

Nathan maintained his usual composed demeanor, trusting Sonnys capabilities.

Alright, secure him in the helicopter and bring him back for questioning immediately to prevent any mishaps.

Understood.

After the call, Nathan dialed Lonnie to check on the situation.

Sir, we headed to the mountain range early this morning and have it sealed off.

No one has ascended since.

The fugitive might have been hiding out there for quite some time.

We wont know for sure until after the interrogation.

Continue the search on the mountains.

Make sure nothing slips through.

Yes, sir.

You can count on us.

Let me know where the helicopters are.

I need to get Lucinda out of here.

Nathan hung up the phone after getting the details from Lonnie.

Creak.

The door creaked open, its rusty hinges screeching in protest.

Hilda dashed toward the door, her eyes wide with anticipation.

How did it go, Mr.

Payne? Did you catch the shooter? she asked, breathless.

Nathan nodded, confirming the capture with a simple gesture.

Hildas shoulders sagged in relief.

Thats a relief.

So, we dont need to worry anymore? We can get back to normal? She glanced at the clock.

Its nearly lunchtime.

Shall we eat? Nathans expression remained unreadable.

Hilda, arent you curious about what he confessed? Caught off guard, Hilda fumbled with the fabric of her rough linen dress, her fingers tense.

What did he say? Im not sure yet.

We have to wait until hes been interrogated by the National Security Bureau.

But we should know soon, Nathan replied, his smile tinged with a hint of mystery.

Oh, I see, Hilda murmured, her gaze dropping as she pondered.
