My Love Until the Last Goodbye by Alut

Chapter 0727

Serenity was inconsolable, tears streaming down her face as she struggled to comprehend that the children were no longer with them. Paul sat in silence, his fists clenched so tightly his knuckles turned white. He didn’t say a word, but the anger and helplessness etched on his face made it clear the situation had shaken him deeply.

“Paul, everything’s going to be alright,” Alden said firmly. I’m going to get them back. But for now, I need you to focus on taking care of Serenity, Laura, Emma, and Adele. They’re your responsibility now. I’m not talking to a child–I’m talking to the man I know you’ll become. While I’m gone, you’re in charge.”

Paul wiped at his eyes and stood taller. “Yes… I’ll take care of them.”

“Good.” Alden extended his hand, holding out an untraceable phone. “This phone is secure. We’ll use it to communicate. We’re heading to a safe location, but you’re in charge of the girls. Understood?”

Paul nodded, his grip tightening around the phone as Alden gave him an approving look.

Maximus’s men had been dispatched to extract the remaining family members, but Alden couldn’t sit idly by, waiting for updates. Making a series of calls, he mobilized his own resources–including an operation to track down Alexia Levett.

She was barely more than a shell of her former self, but Alden knew she was the only leverage they had to force Frank Levett to return the children. That was only step one, however. Alden wasn’t planning to be merciful like his father or Marcus. He knew exactly what needed to be done to eliminate Frank once and for all.

Before heading to Palmer Group, Marcus made a detour to a secluded warehouse outside the city. As he stepped inside, Maximus followed, only to be taken aback by what he saw. Though the warehouse was clean and orderly, the remnants of its past were unmistakable.

Large barrels were stacked along the walls, labeled with chemicals like sulfuric acid and hydrogen peroxide. Marcus moved with purpose, ignoring Maximus’s stunned expression, and unlocked a vault. Inside were bags, ropes, weapons, and protective gear.

“What is this, Marcus?” Maximus asked, his voice tinged with unease.

“This, my dear Maximus, is war,” Marcus replied coldly. “Do you know how to use a weapon?”

“Yes, but-”
