Attracted By My Ex-wife novel Chapter 546

Both sides had planned to kill off each other's bosses. But much to their surprise, both their bosses came armed with guns, yet they were merely prepared for hand-to-hand combat.

Kevin wore full-body armor to protect every part of him except for his head.

Meanwhile, Kim was as nimble as a squirrel, and to add to his advantage was Kevin's poor marksmanship. The latter couldn't land a bullet at Kim at all, let alone graze his skin!

Therefore, both of them directly abandoned their guns and chose to fight with their fists. And as they were on the edge of a cliff, whoever had a wrong footing would definitely fall to his demise in a heartbeat.

At this point, it didn't matter if they were using artillery or their bare fists. What was important was that one of them must be killed!

Gradually, the gunshots stopped, and both Kevin and Kim were left jousting, seemingly at the brink of a nosedive.

With ice-cold eyes, Kim leaped into the air and kicked Kevin's neck, causing the latter's legs to give away. The next second, he tumbled to the ground.

Squinting his eyes with a smirk, Kim landed another kick––this time on Kevin's stomach. But Kevin quickly tossed, avoiding the blow, before jolting Kim's shins at the same time.

Coward, as he was not, Kim, would never let Kevin get what he wanted. So, tightly clenching his fist, he gave the latter a heavy punch in the face. Just as he was still shocked by the impact, Kim prepared to throw another blow. In just a slip second, he booted Kevin on the stomach again.

At this point, time seemed to stand still. Kevin had his eyes stretched widely out of surprise while Kim bore a cocky sneer on his face.

The sudden gravity in the air made Kevin unable to control his body. He knew that he was about to fall from the cliff.

And while he waited for that sudden leap of his body from the soiled ground to the air, the faces of Anne and their children flashed in his mind. Suddenly, a whiff of discontent registered on his face.

He thought he could kill Kim this time, but he didn't expect it to turn the other way around.

'No, it shouldn't be like this!' he thought to himself, unwilling to give up.

However, what else could he do?

Kevin stretched out his hand and slowly shut his eyes as he let the atmosphere take away his body.

"Kevin!" A man suddenly rushed out of the grass, but someone hurriedly grabbed hold of him.

It was already too late!

Kevin had fallen while Kim stood on the edge of the cliff, watching the former slump to his bottomless defeat.

He had prayed to finally end Kevin once and for all. And now, it seemed that his wish was finally fulfilled.

"Bang!" A sudden sound of gunshot blared from behind. Kim slowly turned around, dumb-stricken.

The next moment, he felt the sting of the cold bullet penetrating his shoulder, directly into his flesh and bones.

Several more gunshots filled the air again, riling up Kim's men, who immediately came to his rescue, covering him as they attempted to retreat.

Kim pressed on his shoulder and studied the bullet. It was a shot from Sam. Fortunately, the latter was a whack shooter. Otherwise, it would have hit his heart.

"Ha-ha!" Kim let out a sour chuckle as he hid among the tall plants. He gazed up at the blue sky with an undisguised smile on his face.

'Kevin, what are the odds of you surviving after falling from a high cliff?

Anne, Kevin is dying. But don't worry, I will not send you after him. I will threaten you with everyone's lives and let you live in pain with me!

I don't care if you still love him. You're now separated by life and death. And I might not have a place in your heart, but I will be the one you'll see day and night.

After all the pain you've inflicted on me, I don't love you anymore, not at all. I'm just simply getting my revenge.

Anne, you asked for this, so don't blame me, ' Kim thought to himself as he watched the silent sky.

"Kevin, I've finally killed you. I will die without any regrets," he uttered while greeting his teeth to ease the physical pain. Blood began to seep from his shoulder, and the wound sting was slowly filling his nerves.

Meanwhile, Kevin's men rushed up madly under Sam's command.

Seeing this, Kim waved his hand and signaled his men to retreat. He knew they were at a disadvantage, and today was not a great day for another bloodshed.

Sam and his men rushed to the edge of the cliff but found no trace of Kevin.

Starting to make sense of what happened in the scene, the former eventually knelt on the ground, looking at the abyss beneath the cliff.

"Kevin, come back. Have you really given up on Anne and your children? How can you have the heart to leave them?" With his fist clenched, he jabbed the ground and yelled, "Kevin, how can you abandon them? How can they live without you now?"

However, Kevin had already disappeared. No matter how much Sam shouted, how could he possibly hear him?

"Everyone, go to the bottom of the cliff and search for him. I need to know whether he's alive or dead!" Sam's voice trembled as he commanded his men.

"Yes, sir!" Everyone roared in unison before quickly turning around and leaving in a jiffy.

No one had expected that Kevin would die here, not even Sam.

And as he thought of the possibility of seeing his corpse, Sam felt his body weakened. So, he squatted on the ground for support, shutting his eyes and grabbing his hair to ease his grievance.

'Anne, do you know what happened here? Do you know that Kevin is dead?' he silently asked in his head.

Meanwhile, someplace far, Anne was staring blankly at the sky outside as if she had lost her soul.

Seeing this, Brandon raised his eyebrows slightly and asked in confusion, "Is it really so painful to leave someone behind?"

It was so evident that this man had never loved someone so profoundly yet.

"If you meet a girl you're willing to die for, you will understand how it feels," Anne answered in a low voice.

'Die for a girl?' Brandon laughed scornfully to himself. He had worked for years to protect his boss, even considered the latter's life his priority over his own. How could he die for just any girl?

He would probably never get to experience such a feeling in his lifetime.

Sam slowly closed his eyes, waiting for the end of the call.

Meanwhile, when no one answered after several rings, a bad feeling surged within Anne.

Did something happen? It must be! Otherwise, Sam would have answered her call already!

Without any hesitation, she phoned him again. On the other end, Sam heaved a deep sigh and finally answered the call.

"Sam, is there anything wrong?" Anne's voice was full of tension.

"Yes. While fighting Kim, Kevin was knocked off the cliff and fell into the water beneath. No one knows whether he is alive or dead as we speak."

Although they weren't certain whether Kevin was still breathing or not, they all knew that the chance of him surviving that fall was slim!

The cliff was too high, and the water was too shallow to bear his weight. Even if he fell into the water, he would probably be dead by now.

However, there was still a glimmer of hope since they hadn't found his body yet.

Hearing this, Anne instantly stiffened, and her face turned as pale as paper.

Kevin fell off the cliff, and the chances of him surviving were pretty remote.

'Kevin, how could this happen?' she asked in her head with utmost sorrow. It had only been two days since she left. How could such a thing happen while she was away?

Not able to sustain the shock, her phone suddenly fell from her hand while Sam's voice resonated from the other end of the line. Her entire body was numb, and she couldn't hear what Sam was talking about at all. At this point, there was only one thought in her head, and that was whatever terrible thing happened to Kevin.

No wonder Peter behaved abnormally today!

He already knew about it! He had known since this morning, but he chose to hide it from her.

Feeling helpless and defeated, Anne squatted down and hugged herself tightly as tears streamed down her face.

'Kevin, you bastard! Why did you do such a stupid thing? Didn't you promise me that you would be fully prepared? Was that a perfect preparation? How can you leave the kids and me?

What would happen to us now?' Anne grieved internally.

Even Brandon was surprised to hear that his boss had killed Kevin. But before he could get excited, he saw Anne weeping her eyes out. So, he turned around and left her alone, finding a corner to let out his devious laugh.

Meanwhile, Sam kept comforting her, but there was no response. He could only hear Anne weeping from the other end of the line. Feeling anxious and worried, he immediately called Peter.

Upon hearing this, the latter rushed out of his room and saw Anne balled up with her head buried on her knees.

Learning about what happened to Kevin was already devastating for him. So, what more for Anne? The worst part was, they couldn't do anything about it.

"Anne, sorry for not telling you about it," Peter said in a helpless and guilty tone as he squatted before her.

However, the latter neither moved nor said anything. She just held herself quietly, releasing all her tears and sorrow, afraid of anyone seeing her weakness.
