Billionaire's Match

Chapter 678

"Then... should we just wait here for help?" Khloe's voice trembled. Fear still gripped her. At that moment, a series of gunshots rang out at the room door. Lenny peered toward the sound.

"It's no good... they've found us. They've probably come fully prepared. It won't take them long to break through." Nick didn't hesitate. He grabbed the bedsheet Lenny had brought, tore it into strips, and yanked down the hotel's thick curtains. Working together with Lenny, he twisted them into a single, sturdy rope. He tested its strength, then turned to Khloe, his gaze dark as ink.

"I’ll go first and meet you on the other side. Lenny, watch over them from behind." The balconies on both sides had footholds. Lenny and Nick would each stand on one side, shortening the distance Khloe and Arista would have to cross.

Khloe knew there was no time to hesitate. She nodded but instinctively placed a hand over her belly. Nick's eyes flicked to her in that moment, catching the small protective gesture.

His chest tightened, heart skipping a beat- but he said nothing. He tied one end of the rope securely to his waist and the other to the balcony railing, then instructed Lenny, "Hold it tight."
