My coldhearted ex demands a remarriage

Chapter 1099:

Living in hardship wasn’t the scary part—it was getting a taste of luxury and then losing it all.

Before, she was poor but free. Her life was ordinary, yes, but at least she wasn’t dealing with things most people would never experience in a lifetime. Now, even living felt like a far-off dream.

She had long accepted she might die with Carrie. But now, as she spotted the black car trailing them… and thought of Kristopher… a flicker of something stirred in her chest. Hope.

If Kristopher had forgotten everything she did… if she begged… would he take her back? Could they return to how things used to be?

As that thought floated through her mind, the vehicle suddenly jerked. They’d made a sharp turn, and inertia slammed Lise against the opposite side of the truck.noveldrama

Her body slid, and with it, her thoughts snapped back to the present. Out the side window, she saw it—two massive container trucks emerging from a side road. One pulled in front of them, the other slid into place behind, effectively blocking the view of the black car tailing them.

Then, the container ahead opened—and a truck identical to theirs rolled out. Their vehicle drove into the now-empty container without stopping.

The back container sealed off the view perfectly. No line of sight. No way to tell the switch had happened.

It was seamless. Flawless. A perfect decoy operation.

The two men in the black Volkswagen tensed up. Their view was momentarily blocked. They gripped the wheel tighter, eyes locked on the trucks ahead. But when the container trucks split off with the garbage truck at the next intersection, relief washed over them. They still had the target in sight.

They didn’t realize they’d lost her. It had been a rookie mistake, following too closely. But they didn’t dare report failure—not with Daxton as their boss.

They didn’t understand how Daxton loved a woman. They just knew that if Carrie died, the consequences would be far worse than anything they could imagine.

They almost thought they’d lost the trail—until the two container trucks turned off at the next intersection and disappeared.

This area connected to a major highway, and cargo trucks were a common sight. The sudden appearance of a couple more didn’t seem unusual.

Their full attention remained locked on the hospital waste truck up ahead—the one they were sure still carried the target.

Not far behind, Kristopher had witnessed part of the switch. He hadn’t seen the full exchange, but he had seen the container door open. He hadn’t spotted the decoy garbage truck leaving or the original vehicle driving in—but his instincts screamed that something was off.

Before he could even give an order, his driver had already veered off onto a different road, following the container truck.

They’d worked together for years. The driver had been specially brought in from abroad—not just for his combat skills, but for his sharp mind.

Kristopher didn’t worry about being wrong. He had confidence, but more importantly, he had a plan. Teams had already been stationed in key locations, ready to respond the moment something shifted.
