Chapter 136

Ale's had barely stepped out of the apartment when his phone buzzed.

Carlos was on the line, and he sounded frantic.

"Sir, there is an emergency," Carlos blurted.

"What now?" Alex snapped, bracing himself for bad news.

"We've taken Harlan's mansion and scooped up all his intel. Turns out he's been dealing with Jericho Kane."

"I already know that. Give me something new."

"Harlan's also joined forces with Charles Kingston.".

"What?" Alex's tone darkened.

"He's selling his sister, Jasmine, to seal Kingston's leadership-with Harlan and Jericho backing him."

"Are you certain?" Alex demanded.

"Kelly went to confront Charles at his mansion. It's been two hours... no word from her. We think something's gone wrong, I'm requesting permission to storm the place and get her out."

"Don't bother," Alex cut in, his voice like ice.

"I'll handle this myself. If they've hurt her, I swear I'll kill Charles with my own hands. "

"Yes, sir," Carlos said, then the line went dead.

Alex glanced at the sky, a muscle jumping in his jaw. Power crackled through him,

"He was here a second ago," she whispered, frustration welling up. "How does he always vanish so fast?"

Guilt gnawed at her.

Alex had been doing everything he could to free her from Jasper, yet everything had spiraled into chaos.

Maybe he'd hoped to apologize to her, but it wasn't even his fault in the first place.
