The Double Life of My Billionaire Husband

It was Laney. After seeing Natalie get into Ritchie’s limousine, Laney quickly hailed a taxi and instructed the driver to follow them.
The luxury car stopped at a restaurant famous for its truffle dishes.
Laney rushed out of the taxi and followed the pair inside. Given Ritchie’s prominence in the social circles of Seacisco, it wasn’t
surprising that his private room was located on the top floor of the restaurant. Not only that, but he also had two burly men in
black suits standing guard outside the door.
Laney had heard from the grapevine that the Klein family had their own private security team. This was only a matter of course.
As one of the wealthiest and most powerful families in the city, the Klein family naturally had a lot of enemies who wanted to
bring them down at every possible opportunity.
Needless to say, they were very meticulous in selecting men who were exceptional in combat. Laney made sure to keep her
distance from the door. She needed to assess the situation first, and avoid being discovered before she could cup with a
plan.
Her gaze had only met Ritchie’s once before, but it was enough for her to tell that he would be tricky to deal with.
Around ten minutes later, Laney thought she heard muffled sounds of an argument from inside the private room. Without wasting
another second, she lunged forward and knocked out the two bodyguards, storming through the door.
She found Natalie trapped in a corner by Ritchie, her eyes filled with tears.
“What are you doing here?” the man roared when he caught sight of Laney.
“What happened to my men?” Laney charged towards him wordlessly. Before Ritchie could even react, she had already grabbed
him by the nape. He immediately blacked out and crumpled to the floor.
“Laney!” Natalie cried out in fright.
‘Is he dead?”
Laney held out her hand and helped Natalie to her feet.
“Don’t worry. He’s just unconscious.”

“Why are you here?” Natalie asked as the other woman pulled her out of the room.
“Didn’t I tell you to go home?” Laney looked from side to side to see if other guards were coming for them.
“I had a feeling that man was up to no good, so I decided to follow you. Stay behind me. His men could be just around the
corner.”
Natalie was at a loss. Everything was happening so fast that her mind was having difficulty catching up. One thought did strike
her, though-that no one else had ever been this concerned for her, except for Sebastian.
Soon enough, Ritchie’s men appeared down the hall, having heard the commotion just now.
“Mr. Klein!” One of the men rushed into the room to check on their boss, while the other four surrounded the women.
“You two, stop right there!”
Left without a choice, Laney let go of Natalie’s hand. She clenched her fists and braced for a fight. In one fluid motion, she kicked
the man nearest to her and proceeded to punch the guy who was about to pounce on her. Her movements were so swift and
smooth that Natalie barely caught it. Natalie could only stand back, her eyes wide with shock and disbelief. Was this really the
Laney she knew?
“Hey. Focus.” Laney grabbed her hand, and then they were running again.
Unfortunately, they hadn’t even reached the end of the hallway when more of Ritchie’s men arrived. Ritchie himself had woken
up at this point. He glared at the women, looking anything but a gentleman. The veins on his forehead bulged, and his lips were
curled in a snarl. He leaned awkwardly against one of his goons, then pointed at Natalie and Laney.
“Catch them!” he bellowed. with that, a dozen more men appeared out of nowhere.
Laney gritted her teeth. There were too many enemies, and she could tell by their figures and stance that they were all skilled at
fighting. They were probably on par with her colleagues, too.
She could take them on a one-on-one duel, but she couldn’t possibly deal with everyone all at once. To make matters worse, she
noticed that sof the men were carrying lethal weapons like daggers. Even so, Laney clenched her fists and readied herself.
She needed to protect Natalie at all costs.

“Mr.Klein said that we have to catch them alive,” one of the men instructed loudly, shaking the stun baton he was holding in his
hand.
Natalie and Laney could almost make out the sound of electrical buzzing.
As soon as it dawned on Laney that danger was coming their way, she took two steps back with Natalie, but several more people
immediately had them surrounded.
At the stime, they were about ten meters away from the exit, but Ritchie’s men were everywhere. If they wanted to get
away, they would have to play smart.
However, Laney had no tto think up ways of escape now.
As soon as Ritchie issued the order, more than a dozen men charged at them.
Laney fought them off to the best of her ability.She had been an experienced fighter for over ten years.She was adept at fighting,
with or without weapons.
The guards, who tried to attack her with their stun batons, were quickly blocked by her hands and feet.
Standing behind Laney, Natalie hurried to take a ceramic vase and smashed it down heavily onto the head of one of the men
that had rushed over.
“Don’t bother getting your hands dirty.I’ll do my best to protect you.”
Sweat poured off of Laney’s forehead.She quickly raised her foot and kicked the man who was about to capture Natalie in his
arms.
They stood back to back, surrounded by those men out to get them.
Tears welled up in Natalie’s eyes when she heard what Laney said.She pursed her lips tightly and glanced over at Laney.
“This is all my fault.I didn’t want to drag you down with me, but somehow I got you into this fix.”
Laney was stunned at first and then smiled gently after hearing her words.
“Natalie was such a stubborn and silly girl”

Seeing that Laney seemed like a professional, the men decided to band together to attack her.
Laney couldn’t deal with so many people all at once.
Pretty soon, she found herself outnumbered.
However, even at the most critical moment, she did everything she could to protect Natalie.She was doing her duty to protect her
employer with all her might.And she did, in fact, like Natalie a lot.
Natalie looked around at her surroundings and couldn’t find any weapons to help Laney out.She blamed herself for not being of
much help to her and she had no idea how in the world things had turned out like this.
Sebastian and Ritchie were brothers by blood and Sebastian had never warned her that she should be on guard against the
Klein family, so she had never thought this would happen.
Sebastian...
All of a sudden, Natalie’s mind was a mess.She lowered her gaze to the ground in disappointment.She realized that there were
really a lot of things she didn’t know about Sebastian.
The thing was she might have never really known him in the first place.
Ritchie liked to see others struggling desperately for their lives.He had already straightened up his clothes and was sitting ina
chair, watching the two try and not get caught by his men.He crossed his legs and sat back in a leisurely manner.
lt appeared that he could still feel the lingering pain.He touched the back of his neck and cursed furiously, “Bitch, how dare you
actually hurt me!”
Laney gasped for breath.She was hurt with several wounds on her arms and legs.
Blood seeped out from her clothes.
It really seemed that she was badly injured.
Laney felt nearly wiped out.
