Alexander POV

Ella’s signal never wavered. It was easy for me to follow, and while it was difficult to judge the passage of time in a situation like this, I knew it hadn’t taken long before I had the vehicle in my sights.

It was a small car–compact, unassuming, not even particularly expensive. The kind that would go unnoticed, blending into traffic without drawing attention.

The windows were tinted, concealing the inside. I had no way of knowing how many men were holding Ella or where she was seated. But I knew slie was in there. The signal confirmed it, and the absence of any other vehicles in the area made it obvious.

She was still in motion.

That meant she wasn’t being held in one of the scattered buildings nearby. Not that there were many structures around–just stretches of farmland, a few small houses, and weathered barns dotting the landscape.

I followed at a distance, weighing my options. I couldn’t do anything that might put Ella in greater danger, but hesitation wasn’t an option either. The longer I waited, the greater the risk.

The road ahead was clear and straight. No traffic. No movement in the fields.

There was no reason not to act.

I pressed my foot to the accelerator, and the car lurched forward, the engine roaring as I pushed it to full speed. It took the other driver a few seconds to react, but when he did, I couldn’t help but smile.

That little car wasn’t going to outrun me.

He was sure as hell going to try, though—which meant I needed to make this fast. The quicker I took him off the road, the lower the chance of Ella getting hurt.

Less than a minute later, I had overtaken him.

He tried to swerve away as I pulled alongside him, but the car jerked under his control for a moment. It wasn’t fear

-I recognized that–it was surprise.

Then, he slammed on the brakes, dropping behind me in an attempt to turn around.

I wasn’t about to let that happen.

Cutting across the field, I turned without slowing, closing the distance quickly and pulling up beside him again. I had to take a calculated risk to end this before it escalated.

Lining up my car with his, I turned the wheel sharply, slamming my bumper into his tire well.
