Between Ruin And Resolve My Ex-Husband's Regret novel Chapter 106

Chapter 106 Survival

“It went bankrupt.” Ryder’s voice was ragged, each word scraped out through clenched teeth, saturated with pure, unfiltered hatred. “My parents couldn’t handle the pressure. They jumped to their deaths. All of this–every bit of it–is

thanks to you, Noah Wall.”

Ryder had hidden his true identity, letting his anger fester like an open wound. And now, his moment had come.

“And as for your wife… I already killed her.” His laugh was dark, guttural, like something torn from the depths of hell.

“Serves you right!” he spat, his voice dripping with venom, each word laced with a satisfaction that cut deeper than any

blade.

Noah felt as though the ground had been ripped out from beneath him. Ryder’s words slammed into him like a thunderclap,

reverberating in his skull.

His pupils shrank sharply, and a wave of icy fear surged through his chest, suffocating and relentless.

Without thinking, Noah lunged forward, seizing Ryder by the collar. His grip tightened with brutal force, his knuckles

whitening as if he could crush Ryder’s bones through sheer rage.

“What did you just say?” Noah’s voice trembled, a mixture of disbelief and fury. “Sadie… is she… really gone?” his voice was barely a whisper, each word feeling like shards of glass in his throat, slicing deeper with every syllable.

Ryder let out a wild, guttural laugh, the sound echoing like a twisted melody in the air. His eyes gleamed with wicked satisfaction, as he savored Noah’s agony as if it were a prize he’d long waited to claim.

That laughter shattered whatever fragile thread of control Noah had left.

Without thinking, Noah’s fist lashed out, slamming into Ryder’s face with bone–cracking force.

The sickening crack of the punch was followed by a low groan as Ryder crumpled to the floor, unconscious.

Noah’s hand trembled as he let go. His knees buckled beneath him, and he sank to the cold floor. His eyes stared into

nothing, hollow and glassy, as though the soul had been ripped from his body, leaving behind only an empty shell.

At the same time, Kyla’s days in the hospital ward stretched into a slow, torturous blur.

She wore the mask of a fragile patient, but beneath the surface, anxiety gnawed at her like a relentless parasite. The fear

that Ryder might be caught–that he’d expose everything–hung over her like a noose tightening around her neck.

It was suffocating Finally, she couldn’t take it anymore.

“Doctor,” she said, her voice heavy with exhaustion, “I need to be discharged ”

The doctor gave her a cursory examination and, seeing no medical reason to keep her, nodded in agreement.

The moment the paperwork was signed, Kyla bolted from the hospital, her heart hammering against her ribs as she sped

toward Myrtlewood Estate.

She had to find Noah.

Bursting through the study door, Kyla froze. Noah sat slumped at his desk, his figure barely recognizable.

The sharp, commanding presence of Wall Group CEO was gone. In its place was a man swallowed by grief, his eyes void of

light, his face pale and gaunt, with stubble shadowing his jaw.

The sight of him–so broken, so hollow–sent a chill down Kyla’s spine. She stepped forward carefully, her voice soft,

almost hesitant.

“Noah… are you okay?”

“Pack up your things. I want you out of here as soon as possible.” Noah’s voice was like ice–sharp, cold, and utterly devoid

of emotion.

Kyla felt her stomach twist, a wave of dread rising in her chest.

“What… what are you talking about, Noah?” she asked, her tone light, feigning confusion as if she hadn’t heard him clearly.

Noah slowly lifted his head. “Let me be clear–I want you out of my life.” His words were deliberate, each syllable dropping

like a hammer.

“It’s over between us.” His voice was final, leaving no room for negotiation, no space for hope.

Kyla’s face drained of color. She had anticipated many things, but Noah’s sheer ruthlessness wasn’t one of them.

“Noah, you can’t do this to me! I saved your life, remember? Back then–I risked everything for you.” She clung to the only

leverage she had left, but Noah’s expression didn’t waver. If anything, his eyes grew colder, his jaw tightening.

“If it hadn’t been for you, I wouldn’t have been in danger at all.” His voice sharpened with anger as he suddenly stood,

towering over her.

“If you hadn’t insisted on following me into that dangerous place, I never would’ve crossed paths with those people.” His

eyes blazed with disgust and something even deeper–hatred.

Kyla’s body trembled, a slight but undeniable shiver running through her. She hadn’t expected Noah to speak with such

cutting finality.

“Noah, I…” she began, her voice fragile, but Noah didn’t let her finish. “Enough!” he snapped, his voice like a whip cracking

through the tension. “I don’t want to hear another word from you.”

Without missing a beat, he barked an order toward the door, his tone ice–cold and authoritative. “Keep searching for Sadie.

I want her found–dead or alive.”

Kyla stood frozen, her face drained of color, her entire body trembling.
