Ex-husband's Sweet Trap

The injured man next to him came out of his shock and pointed the gun at Henry.

"Henry, look out!"

Luz's heart was about to jump out of her chest. She wanted to rush over to help, but she couldn't stand up because she was tied up.

"Don't forget about me, Luz!"

Lucas suddenly jumped in, rolled over and raised his leg to kick the man's gun out of his hand. The force of the kick aggravated the wound on his arm, making him grimace in pain. "Why are you here?"

Henry flung Isiah, who was beaten close to unconsciousness, to the side and turned to look at Lucas.

"Go big or go home, right?" A smile appeared on his handsome face. Where else would he be able to go all out like this?

He knocked the man unconscious and aimed his gun at the pilot in front of him. "Fly the helicopter properly, or I don't know what my gun will do."

The pilot blanched and nodded. Lucas raised his eyebrows and looked at Mia beside him. Her lips were pressed together tightly, pale with fear. She was very different from the sharp-tongued lawyer he saw in court that day.

"Hi, beautiful lawyer, we meet again."

Lucas waved at her casually and smirked. This woman wouldn't dare to go against him in court again!

Mia was still stunned by Henry's stunt earlier. She only came back to her sense when she heard Lucas' voice. When she saw him, she widened her eyes in disbelief. "It's you?"

That jerk? The man who jumped from the helicopter after Henry was this jerk?

"What do you think? Was I cool? Are you thinking about what I said before?"

Lucas winked at her, but with her current condition, her brain wasn't functioning properly. She had no idea what he was talking about.

"Forget it. Look at how scared you are. We'll talk about this after we land safely."

While Lucas was flirting with Mia, Henry was staring at Luz. She had called him Henry just now.

She did not follow it up with his surname, and that felt different somehow. It was like they had gone back to seven years ago, when he held her in his arms while she said his name sweetly.

There were tears in Luz's eyes, but she tried hard not to let them fall. Just now, he actually jumped out of the helicopter. Did he think that he was shooting an action movie? What if he missed and fell from such a height?

"You're not allowed to go to a KTV ever again."

Even though there were so many emotions in his heart, Henry's voice was still as cold as ever. He even glared at Mia, who was still stunned. If it wasn't for this woman, they wouldn't end up in this situation. Lucas pouted slightly. These two people were so complicated. They were clearly still in love with each other, but still, they put up a cold facade. They should be hugging each other tightly right now, kissing and even more.

"Looks like we need to leave these two lovebirds..."

Before he could finish his complaint, the helicopter suddenly lurched as bullets came flying at them from below. All of a sudden, there were several holes in the body of the helicopter. "F*ck, what's going on?" Henry looked down and saw a group of people shooting at them with machine guns from a hidden position by the road.

"It's someone from this gang."

They must have seen the gunfight just now. They were afraid that another subordinate would fall into the hands of the police, so they were planning to kill all of them.

"D*mn it, I hoped we could be heroes, but I think we're going to die!"

If they continued to shoot like this, they would soon become riddled with holes.

"Let's jump down."

Henry opened the storage compartment on the helicopter, which was especially used to store parachutes, but there were only two parachutes inside.

"You jump down with her."

Without hesitation, he threw one of them to Lucas, while he picked up the other and put it on Luz roughly.

"Henry Maynard..."

She did not spare a look at the complicated buttons and straps that were hanging from the parachute. She stared at the man in front of her. She had never used a parachute before. "What are you afraid of? I'm here."

Henry's voice was still cold, but there was a touch of tenderness in it. His motions also softened, but when his hand brushed across her back, he felt something warm and sticky. The corners of his eyes narrowed in an instant. He reached out and pulled her body over, only to see the gaping wound on her waist. The long rip down her dress was still oozing blood.

D*mn it!

He turned his head to pick up the gun next to him and fired a few shots at Isiah, who was paralyzed on the seat. Every shot hit his joints.

Lucas chuckled. Henry was famous for being possessive. He bullied his woman. It would be weird if he didn't retaliate.

"Hey, pretty lawyer, I'm jumping out of a helicopter with you in my arms. How are you planning to thank me later? If it's not good enough for me, I'll drop you in midair."

Mia gritted her teeth. This man is really a world-class assh*le.

However, when she thought of the machine gun firing below, she still tightly wrapped her arms around Lucas's neck. She can live without taking any of his cases in the future. "You're keeping your silence, huh? Don't worry, I have ways to make you speak."

He jumped out of the helicopter without warning while still teasing her.

Mia screamed, her face pale with fear. Instinctively, she wrapped her legs around Lucas' waist as well, hanging on to him like koala bear.

Henry vented the anger in his heart, then bent down and picked up Luz, who was already wearing the parachute.

"Hold on to me tight when we jump later. I'll not be responsible if you fall."

Because of his touch, her heart was beating fast. His hug was so gentle that she even forgot the pain in her waist. She didn't even know where to put her eyes and obediently held on to Henry. This guy's mood changed so fast that she didn't know if he would really throw her down.

However, the arms holding her made the thought disappear. Somehow, she felt less afraid with him holding her. She leaned closer into his chest and closed her eyes so that she wouldn't scream like Mia did.

Henry lowered his head and looked at the woman in his arms. His cold, thin lips curled into a faint smile. His arms naturally tightened around the woman in his arms. At the same time, he saw from the corner of his eyes that the man who Lucas had knocked out aim his gun at the woman in his arms.

The man grinned. He had told them that he wouldn't let them go so easily.

When he pulled the trigger, Henry flung himself into the way without any hesitation.

When Luz heard the gunshot, she opened her eyes in a panic, but the rapid acceleration of the wind as they fell forced her eyes and mouth closed again. ☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
