My Last Gift To My Ex: A Bomb Novel

Chapter 16 Chapter 16 Kael grabbed Xavier by the collar, his grip tight enough to choke. "What divorce papers? Nadia and I never got divorced-where the hell did that come from?" Xavier flinched, stammering under Kael's fury. "You signed them yourself! In the hospital! Don't you remember?" Kael froze. It felt like someone had cracked his skull open with a crowbar. All he could hear was ringing in his ears. He could still see it-Nadia handing him those papers, telling him it was her "compensation." So that's what she wanted. To leave him. Kael stumbled home like a man possessed.

The second he walked through the door, he tore through the house looking for that envelope-the one he'd thrown out that morning. He dug through every trash bin until he found it by the door, buried in the garbage. His hands shook as he ripped it open. The divorce certificate stared back at him. His legs gave out. He hit the floor hard. "Nadia... how could you really do it? How could you just... leave me?" Every sweet memory felt like a blade now, cutting deeper and deeper into his chest. Silent tears slid down his face.

It felt like something was crushing his heart-squeezing the air out of his lungs. Then he noticed a shadow lurking in the corner. His voice came out cold and sharp. "Who's there?" The butler stepped forward, his face pale as death. "Commander Ashford, it's me. There's... something I need to tell you. I don't know if I should, but-" Kael's eyes locked on him, hard as stone. "Talk." The butler dropped to his knees with a thud. "Commander Ashford, when you punished Mrs. Ashford in that room-made her kneel-Miss Vivian filled the cushion with thumbtacks. Mrs. Ashford's knees... they were shredded.

And the whip-Miss made me soak it in salt water first. That's why Mrs. Ashford... that's why she finally gave up and left." Kael's eyes went red. His fists clenched so tight his knuckles cracked. "What did you just say? I told you not to go too far. Why the hell did you listen to Vivian?" The butler flinched at Kael's roar, barely breathing. "Ms. Ashford threatened me with my son. I didn't dare say no." 12:29 My Last Gift To My Ex: A Bomb 57.7% Chapter 16 He hesitated, then forced himself to keep going. "I also heard Miss on the phone. Mr. Levi's grave-and Mrs.

Ashford's mother's grave-she had them dug up. On purpose. Just to destroy Mrs. Ashford." Kael kicked the table over with a deafening crash. "Vivian. You did all of this?" The butler trembled, but pushed himself to keep talking. "There's more. When Ms. Ashford made Mrs. Ashford light those fireworks... I saw Miss order someone to move the fuse. So they'd explode the second she lit them." Kael grabbed the butler by the collar, almost screaming now. "Why are you only telling me this NOW? Don't you get it? Nadia's GONE.

She doesn't want me anymore!" Before the butler could respond, the secretary burst through the door. "Commander Ashford-we found the Mourning Locket." The secretary handed Kael a file, hesitating as he spoke. "The Locket was made by Ms. Crawford using... part of Mrs. Hayes' ashes. She bribed the crematorium staff to withhold a portion before the official burial. The ashes were then sealed into the locket by a private jeweler in Los Angeles-" He saw the look on Kael's face and stopped cold. Kael's voice came out through gritted teeth. "Keep.

Going." The secretary took a step back before forcing the words out. "Vivian originally wanted to use Mr. Levi's skull. But since the explosion damaged it too badly, she used Mrs. Ashford's mother's skull instead." "And those photos of Mrs. Ashford's mother that got leaked? That was Vivian too. She wanted to push Mrs. Ashford over the edge." The second the words fell, there was a loud bang as Kael's fist slammed into the glass window.
