Contract Bride to the Ruthless Ice King Chapter 32
"Alexander!"My scream echoed across the rooftop as his body collapsed into my arms. The rain poured harder, washing the blood from his shirt onto the concrete. His face had turned frighteningly pale, and his breathing became slow and uneven."No... no..." I cried, shaking him gently. "Alexander, look at me."His eyes stayed closed. My hands pressed harder against the wound in his side, trying to stop the bleeding, but warm blood kept slipping through my fingers."Marcus!" I shouted loudly. "Do something!"Marcus dropped to his knees beside us. He quickly tore open a medical pouch from his tactical vest and pressed a thick bandage over the wound."Keep pressure here, ma'am," he said urgently. "Don't let go."I nodded through my tears. "I won't."Marcus spoke rapidly into his radio. "Medical team to the rooftop now! Mr. Blackwood has a gunshot wound. Repeat, he has a gunshot wound!"Static answered him before another voice came through. "ETA two minutes.""That's too long," Marcus mutt

The elevator doors opened into the violent wind of the rooftop. Cold rain slapped my face at once.I stumbled forward, still trapped in my mother’s tight grip. Her arm was locked around my throat, and the gun in her shaking hand pressed against my side.The roof of Blackwood Tower was dark, wet, and dangerous. The city stretched far below us, glittering like nothing terrible was happening above it. The helicopter at the far end of the roof had its blades spinning fast, throwing rain and wind across the concrete.My heart dropped. They were really taking me away.“Move,” Eleanor hissed into my ear.I tried to pull her arm away, but she tightened it until I could hardly breathe. “Mother, stop,” I choked out. “Please. This is enough.”She laughed softly. “Enough?” she whispered. “Nothing is enough when you have spent your whole life watching others sit on the throne that should have been yours.”The helicopter door opened. A tall man stepped out slowly. For one second, the rain and wind

For one terrible second, I could not breathe.The sound was so loud that it swallowed everything. Leo’s scream. Julian’s cry. Even the crackling fire from the dead flare seemed to disappear under that one sharp sound.I waited for pain, I waited to fall, but I did not.Alexander moved faster than my eyes could follow. One moment, I was standing in front of him with my mother’s gun pointed straight at my chest. The next moment, his body slammed into mine, throwing me and the twins hard behind the overturned mahogany table.We crashed onto the floor together.Leo cried out under me. Julian’s small hands clung to my coat. My head hit the edge of a broken chair, and bright sparks danced in my eyes.“Alexander!” I gasped.He was on top of me, one strong arm around my waist, the other arm covering the boys. His chest was pressed against mine, heavy and warm.For one second, I felt safe. Then I felt something wet. Something warm. It touched my fingers where my hand rested against his side. I

“No!” I screamed. My voice tore through the dark boardroom.I pulled Leo and Julian tighter against my chest and turned my body away from the vent, as if my small body could protect them from fire, gas, and death.Alexander moved first. He pushed me behind him with one strong arm and raised his gun at Victor.“Drop it,” Alexander said. His voice was low, but it shook with anger.Victor laughed. It was not a normal laugh. It sounded broken. Mad. Like a man who had lost everything and wanted the whole world to burn with him.“You still think you can order me around?” Victor asked, breathing hard. Blood ran down the side of his face. “Look at you, Alexander. The Great Ice King. Rich. Powerful. Untouchable.”He took one slow step closer to the vent. The orange fire from the flare made his face look evil.“But now?” Victor smiled. “Now you are just a frightened father.”Alexander’s finger tightened on the trigger. “Take one more step and I’ll put you down.”Victor lifted the briefcase high

The heavy steel gate dropped between us with a loud sound.“Alexander!” I screamed, my voice echoing through the room.I looked through the narrow gaps in the gate. His face had gone pale with anger. He rushed forward and hit the steel with both hands again and again.“Elena! Get down!” Alexander shouted. His voice was full of fear. He pulled out his silver pistol and quickly looked around the dark room.Marcus was already running toward the main power switch at the back of the boardroom. But before he could reach it, the red screen on the wall became brighter.The loud crackling sound from the speakers stopped.Then Gideon Ross’s voice filled the room.“Did you really think catching me in Switzerland would stop everything, Alexander?” Gideon said with a laugh. “I warned you on the mountain. If I lose, everyone loses. The Black Feather system started the moment my private server in the Alps went offline. The penthouse is locked down, and the vaults below are already releasing the rest

The red laser dots rested on my mother's black dress.The glass bottle in her hand shook. Scotch spilled onto the papers on the table before she dropped the bottle down with a heavy sound. The calm look on her face disappeared. For the first time, she looked truly afraid.“What is this?!” she shouted. Her voice cracked with panic as she jumped to her feet. Her chair dragged across the floor with a loud noise. “You’re arresting the wrong people! Alexander Blackwood is the criminal!”The lead federal agent walked forward. His boots stepped over the broken wood near the doorway. He pulled out a set of steel restraints and looked straight at my mother.“Eleanor Vance, you are under arrest for international fraud, conspiracy, and the illegal use of bio-synthetic devices on minors.”My mother stumbled backward until her legs hit the sofa behind her.Around the table, the four men from the London group slowly raised their hands. Their faces had gone pale. Agents took their laptops and pushed

The words coming out of the speaker didn’t make sense. They couldn’t.‘My mother?’My mind violently rejected the thought. My mother, Eleanor, was supposed to be fading away in a private medical suite, her heart failing, her body kept alive only by the thousands of dollars of machinery Alexander ha

The rain hit my face like sharp needles, but I didn’t care. I ran across the muddy grass as fast as I could, my heels sinking into the dirt until I finally kicked them off and kept running barefoot toward the open front door of the little house.“Leo! Mrs. Gable!” I screamed desperately.My voice w

The mahogany desk bit into my lower back as Alexander leaned his full weight into me.His fingers dug into my upper arms, tight enough that I knew I’d have purple bruises by tomorrow morning. But I barely felt the physical pain. My mind was spinning with panic and disbelief.How did he find out? Ho

Elena’s POV“If you want me to sign away my life, Mr. Blackwood, the least you can do is look me in the eye while you destroy it.”My voice trembled, but I pushed the words out anyway. I stood in the middle of his massive sixty-fifth-floor penthouse, my heels digging into the soft carpet. Outside,
