Dumped My Cheating Ex. Now I'm Sleeping Next to a Billionaire CEO novel Chapter 1059

Steve took a drag, coughed, and shot Will a sarcastic grin.

“You guys have been at this for over a year, right? I haven’t seen you pull off even the smallest win.”

He looked Will up and down, his gaze lingering somewhere awkward before he clicked his tongue. “Don’t tell me you’re not up to it?”

“Fuck off!”

Will bristled. “Who are you calling useless, Steve? I could go seven rounds a night, wanna bet?”

“You’re the one who can’t do it. Your whole family can’t!”

Before they could start another shouting match, James stepped in, frowning.

“Enough. Every time you meet, you’re at each other’s throats. I’m here for something serious.”

Steve clamped his mouth shut, though he still huffed, clearly not over it.

Will glared at Steve, then purposely moved a few steps away before finally looking at James.

“James, you’ve already left Nelson Corporation. What’s next for you?”

“They’ve sent you the Commander offer three times now. That’s unheard of in the military. Are you going to take it?”

Will stared at James, his mind drifting back to over a year ago.

Back then, he had no clue James was actually a Nelson.

He just thought James was this mysterious guy, no family, but everything he owned was custom or limited edition.

It wasn’t until the news broke about Mrs. Nelson disappearing that Will finally got the truth from a sobbing Abriella.

The James who’d trained with them all these years was actually the Mr. Nelson from the Capital’s most powerful family.

Will was stunned but also felt a pang of sadness.

Stunned that James came from money, sad that he’d been abandoned by his own family since he was a kid.

Born with a silver spoon, yet living with his head on the line like the rest of them.

Will let out a silent sigh.

James leaned back against the railing, one hand stuffed in his suit pocket. The wind pressed his black shirt tight against him.

“Not yet,” he said, his voice low and commanding. “Go back, get ready, and tell the guys to double-check all their gear. Tomorrow evening, you’re coming with me to the border.”

Will straightened, his voice going tight. “Wait… is that cartel back in business?”
