Chapter 0334

Alexander POV

I could feel Ella's wide eyes upon me before I looked, and shame instantly flooded me. I had lost my temper. I had been violent.

I never wanted her to see me like that, but it was impossible not to let my

frustration show in some way. Still, feeling the tension coming from her as she stared at me made my heart twist painfully.

There were too many unanswered questions. Even with everything we had learned over the past few weeks, it wasn't enough to solve this puzzle. I felt like I was losing control of the situation, which was something I couldn't allow.

Who was helping Amanda?

That man was terrified-he wouldn't dare try to hide anything from me. He was probably in there shaking with fear, wracking his brain for anything that he forgot to tell me. Or maybe he was just hoping that I wouldn't come back.

I had to, though. There had to be something more I could learn here. Amanda wouldn't have driven herself to that meeting. She wouldn't have arrived alone.

There had to be someone else in that car. Someone pulling the strings. Someone who had arranged it all.

There were only a few people powerful enough to do this.

And one of them... Well, that didn't even bear thinking about.

If he was involved, things were far more dire than I had realized. Could he really hate me so much that he would target my wife? It wasn't his style to go after families and children, but he was ruthless.

Still, I couldn't think of anything I had done in the past few months that would have pushed him to this.

I forced the thought aside.

It had to be someone else. Someone less terrifying.

That woman-she wasn't just a go-between. There was something about the confidence in her movements when she and Amanda crossed the border. She knew exactly what she was doing.

She had to be the one responsible.
