Chapter 30

As Alexander received the long-awaited information regarding Nikki's whereabouts, a surge of elation coursed through his veins, momentarily dispelling the cloud of uncertainty that had plagued him for days on end. His heart raced with anticipation, his mind racing with plans for her capture and the retribution he would exact upon her for daring to defy him.

But as he moved to leave, his bodyguards stepped forward, their expressions grim with concern. "Sir, it's not safe," one of them cautioned, his voice tinged with urgency. "We need to proceed with caution. We can't risk your safety."

Alexander's jaw tightened with frustration at the thought of delaying his pursuit, but he knew that his men spoke sense. He couldn't afford to jeopardize everything he had worked so hard to build by rushing headlong into danger.

Reluctantly, he acquiesced to their advice, his mind already racing with contingency plans and strategies to ensure Nikki's capture without putting himself at unnecessary risk.

Meanwhile, Nikki's heart pounded in her chest as she watched the events unfold from the relative safety of Leon's home. Fear mingled with anticipation as she waited for news of Alexander's next move, knowing that her fate hung in the balance.

But even as the threat of his imminent arrival loomed overhead, Nikki refused to cower in fear. With each passing moment, she fortified herself with the knowledge that she had allies willing to stand by her side, ready to fight for her freedom no matter the cost.

And as she braced herself for the inevitable confrontation that awaited her, Nikki vowed to herself that she would never again allow herself to be a pawn in Alexander's twisted game of power and control. She was determined to reclaim her autonomy, to forge her own path forward, no matter the obstacles that lay ahead.
