Ryder’s POV

Tonight will be the darkest night in the history of the Starling family.

I sat in the silence of my private jet's cabin, speeding through the night sky toward London. In my hand, an iPad glowed, displaying the CCTV feed from my penthouse's Medical Wing. My eyes didn't blink as I stared at the screen; staring at Mary's pale, sleeping face, and the thick blanket covering her stomach.

That is where my life lies. That is where my future and the heir of my flesh and blood breathe.

  • Trashing My Ex with the Ice King   Chapter 71

    Mary’s POVAfter those horrifying words left Dante's mouth, it took a few seconds for my brain to process the reality: Ryder's father was coming for my head.I clamped both hands over my mouth, stifling a scream of pure terror. My father swiftly grabbed my mother's hand, holding it in a tight grip."We have to go. NOW!" Dante grabbed my arm roughly, ushering us out of the master bedroom.However, we had barely run a dozen steps down the penthouse corridor when a deafening sound made my heart stop.TAT-TAT-TAT-TAT-TAT!A brutal barrage of gunfire echoed from the direction of the main penthouse lobby behind us. The sound of shattering glass and the wild shouts of guards thundered through the air. My blood instantly froze. They had breached the perimeter. My mother trembled violently beside my father."They're attacking from the main entrance! Hold this corridor! Deploy all your weapons!" Dante roared to his remaining guards through his comms radio. He then turned to me. "Hurry, Mi

  • Trashing My Ex with the Ice King   Chapter 70

    Ryder’s POV The bloody night in London was over. Through the glass window of my private jet, which was climbing high to pierce the clouds, I could still see the bright orange flames devouring the Starling residence down below. One threat had been eradicated. No one would ever dare disturb my wife and child's peaceful sleep again. I leaned my head against the leather cabin seat, closing my eyes to soothe the adrenaline still boiling in my veins. The air inside the cabin was completely still, accompanied only by the faint hum of the jet engines speeding above the pitch-black expanse of the Atlantic Ocean. However, that silence was brutally torn apart. "Sir!" Silas suddenly yelled from the cockpit, his voice filled with a panic I had never heard before. "Radar is detecting high-speed projectile movement! Anti-aircraft missiles have locked onto our coordinates!" My eyes snapped wide open. My muscles tensed. "What?!" "Evasive maneuvers! Dive this plane right now!" Silas

That is where my future and the heir of my flesh and blood breathe.My throat tightened. A single tear slipped through, sliding down my cheek that still bore a fading bruise. I am going to be a father. The thought hit me with an overwhelming sense of emotion, while simultaneously triggering the darkest murderous instinct at the bottom of my soul.I swore to build a happy little family with her.

  • Trashing My Ex with the Ice King   Chapter 68

    Julian’s POVBoth of my hands gripped the hospital bedsheets so tightly I felt like ripping them apart. My blood boiled violently as my eyes remained glued to the live broadcast from Chicago on the wall-mounted television. There, Mary and that bastard Vance dared to sit together at the same podium, right after the lawsuit I had filed against him."The CEO of Vance Group just held a press conference broadcasted live worldwide, Sir," Roman reported with a clenched jaw, his eyes also locked on the screen beside me. "He's making a statement to clear his name from the kidnapping charges we filed."A harsh breath escaped my lips as I watched my wife speak. Voluntarily, Mary exposed my mother's cruelty to the public."Regarding the news of Mr. Richard Collins' attack and kidnapping last night... it seems Vance is behind all of this," Roman muttered quickly, his brain piecing the puzzle together. "He took Miss Mary's parents hostage to threaten her into testifying and twisting the facts in

    Ryder’s POV"You have to choose right now, Mr. Vance! Miss Mary's life... or her baby's life?!"Dr. Evans's question hung in the air above the deafening blare of the heart monitor alarms. Time seemed to stand still. A suffocating weight crushed my chest, robbing me of breath.Inside, Mary's body continued to convulse, blood endlessly seeping into the white sheets.That baby... the fetus she was carrying was Julian Kessler's seed. The child of the bastard I hated most in this world. But I knew, for Mary, that baby was her life. If the fetus died, a part of Mary's soul would die with it.But if I had to lose Mary... no. I could never endure living in a world where she didn't exist.My jaw clenched. My absolute despair and selfishness as a man took complete control. I grabbed Dr. Evans by his surgical scrubs, glaring at him with bloodshot, tear-filled eyes."Save the mother!" I roared, my cracked voice echoing down the medical corridor. "To hell with Kessler's baby! I only care abo

    Ryder’s POV"BABY..!! Hang in there, Baby!!!"My panicked roar echoed, piercing through the penthouse corridor. I ran like a madman, carrying Mary's blood-soaked body in my arms toward the Emergency Medical Bay hidden behind the right wing of the penthouse.The metallic stench of fresh blood filled the air, seeping through her gown until it soaked my shirt. Her beautiful face turned as pale as paper in a matter of seconds."SHIT! GET THE OPERATING ROOM READY! HURRY!!" I roared, my voice cracking from a fear I had never felt in my entire life.I kicked the double doors of the medical bay until they slammed open. My private medical team, already on standby, immediately rushed over with a gurney. I laid Mary's small, helpless body onto the operating table with violently trembling hands.Mary's breathing was agonizingly shallow, almost nonexistent. For a second, my mind went completely blank. I lost my bearings. My world felt like it was crumbling, seeing the woman who was more preci
