Private line. Emergency signal.His body froze. For a split second, the hallway fell silent.He answered. “Carter?”But it wasn’t Carter.It was one of the men posted near the estate gates.“Sir… we have a situation. Carter’s dead. The car was attacked again just before reaching the estate. They took Mrs. Blake.”The world seemed to tilt beneath him.“What?”“They took her, sir. Masked men. Black SUV. By the time we got there, they were already gone. It happened within minutes.”Alexander’s fist clenched so tightly the phone cracked beneath his grip.The lights above seemed to buzz louder. The hallway blurred. And then everything snapped back into razor sharp focus.“She was almost home,” he whispered, his voice dangerously calm. “She was almost f*cking home.”Without another word, he stormed out of the hospital, barking commands into his comms, rage and fear coiling inside him like a tidal wave about to break.This time, they had crossed the line.And Alexander Blake was going to raz

He’ll chase the sound and never see the real danger coming.”The lieutenant hesitated. “And if he survives the first wave?”Gerald smirked, turning his head slightly, like a man amused by a child’s question. “Then we bleed him out slowly.”There was a quiet pause before the man dared to speak again. “You really think he’ll come alone?”“Oh, I’m counting on it,” Gerald said softly. “You think a man like Alexander would risk Sarah’s life to bring backup?
