His Ex Wife Is A Billionaire

Chapter 724

The scale of the Fairhaven Group premises, only the towering Abernathy Group rivaled the might of it. The skyscraper, with its dozens of stories and thousands of rooms, was a testament to power and intimidation. But within its labyrinthine confines, Jareth’s heart raced with dread at the thought of his beloved Marilla being- trapped in some secret chamber, subjected to unspeakable horrors.

His fingers trembled violently, a physical manifestation of the pain that coursed through his nerves, tormenting his nearly shattered heart with an excruciating burn,

Gary would never divulge where he’d hidden Marilla; he relished the thought of keeping his most treasured possession out of reach, twisting the knife in Jareth’s heart, fueling his rage, his hatred.

“It’s collusion, I bet!” Jareth’s voice was a harsh rasp of bloody vengeance as he called Lily, “Otherwise, that son of a bitch wouldn’t have the guts!”

But Lily’s phone was off. Jareth’s heart tightened, a cold sweat breaking out across his body, a chilling premonition of something far worse than he’d anticipated.
