Chapter 284

Alexander POV

Angry didn't even begin to describe how I felt. David Lake was once again complicating a situation that was already stressful enough. If he thought I'd let him cover up als schemes this time, he was dead wrong.

My rage was growing by the second and it felt like the elevator was descending more slowly than ever. I held Ella's hand, hoping to offer her some comfort. At the moment, Idn't trust myself to speak.

I could only imagine what was going through her mind. She had worked up the courage to face this situation head on and now David had inserted himself into her life again. He was like a ghost that we couldn't get rid of.

Ella deserved to move on with her life, but it seemed to me that as long as David Lake was alive, she would never truly be free of him.

I was certain that I could do something about that.

The elevator finally reached the basement and I stepped out as soon as the doors opened. I kept my grip on Ella's hand, leading her quickly to the car.

Ella and I climbed into my fastest car, and I tore out of the parking garage. She leaned back in her seat, her face pale, obviously uneasy with the way I was driving. But she didn't protest.

She understood.

She knew why I was swerving through traffic, pushing the car far beyond the speed limit.

It wasn't long before we'd cleared the chaos of the city, and the open road stretched out before us. I pressed harder on the accelerator, the speedometer climbing past 100 mph Still, Ella said nothing.

If David killed McIntyre, we'd lose a crucial asset in bringing him down. I couldn't let that happen. I wouldn't let that happen.

LAPAR

I glanced at Ella, my jaw tightening as an all-too-familiar wave of sickness churned in my gut. The memory of her pinned beneath David flashed in my mind- the terror in her eyes, the tears streaming down her face as she fought the drug's effects...

The rage that consumed me was unlike anything I'd ever felt.

I had enemies, plenty of them. I wasn't new to danger or hate. But no one had ever fueled my loathing the way David Lake did.
