Chapter: 120 Part 3: A Wedding Designed to Humiliate Alexander
Clara felt a chill pass through her despite the anger burning inside her. His words confirmed that her suspicions were not entirely unfounded. Elliot had been watching her long before this kidnapping, waiting for an opportunity to get his hands on her.Yet that still did not prove he had arranged the earlier abduction.She forced herself to meet his eyes. "If Alexander spared you the last time you kidnapped me, I'm telling you now that this time he won't let you see the sun!"Her warning rang through the unfinished building, and for a moment even Spike seemed to pause.Clara did not care that she was tied to a chair or that Elliot had surrounded himself with men who would follow his orders.She knew what Alexander was capable of when someone he cared about was threatened, and she had no intention of allowing Elliot to believe that his plan would succeed simply because he had managed to capture her.Elliot's expression darkened.He stared at her for several seconds before turning towar

Elliot's smile disappeared. "Then you had better make sure he doesn't."The warning was quiet, but Spike understood it immediately. He lowered his head and reached for his phone, preparing to carry out the instructions.Behind them, Clara had stopped struggling long enough to absorb what Elliot had said.Court.Alexander.Nahir.Messages designed to make them suspect each other.The pieces were beginning to fall into place, and what she had heard left her more disturbed than the threat of an unwanted marriage. Elliot was not simply holding her hostage until Alexander arrived.He was manipulating the situation around her, using her disappearance to provoke a confrontation between two men who already had reasons to distrust each other.But another detail troubled her even more.Elliot had spoken about tracking her for months, and he had done so with the confidence of someone who had been waiting for an opportunity like this.Clara remembered the first kidnapping, the terror of being tak

He stopped in front of her and studied her expression."But then I realized that simply beating him wouldn't be enough. He might recover from a beating, tell himself that he lost one fight, and go back to living his miserable little life. No, I want something he won't be able to forget."Clara's eyes narrowed as she listened.Elliot crouched slightly so that his face was level with hers, his smile growing more unpleasant with every passing second."You talk too much. Do you know what I'm going to do? Right in front of you, I'll make a deal with him. And guess what? I'll marry you in front of him. I'll make sure he's tied down like a goat and forced to watch."Clara's eyes widened in horror.She immediately began struggling against her restraints, twisting her wrists and pulling at the bindings as she tried to free herself.The chair scraped across the concrete floor, producing a harsh sound that echoed through the unfinished room. The cloth over her mouth muffled her angry cries, but
Chapter: 119 Part 4: The Man Behind the Messages
Elliot gave Clara one last look before walking toward the far end of the unfinished building.She followed him with her eyes, struggling to suppress the fear rising inside her.She had made her position clear. She would never choose Elliot willingly, regardless of what he threatened to do.But the expression he had worn before turning away told her that her refusal had not changed his intentions. If anything, it had made him more determined to force the outcome he wanted.Then Elliot's phone vibrated.He pulled it from his pocket, expecting a response from Alexander or Nahir. Instead, an unfamiliar message appeared on the screen.“You have taken the wrong woman.”Elliot's smile vanished.He read the message again, his expression hardening as another notification appeared beneath it.“Release Clara before Alexander reaches you, or you will discover who is really in control.”For the first time that night, Elliot stopped thinking about the revenge he intended to inflict on Alexander.An
Chapter: 119 Part 3: The Man Behind the Messages
For a moment, Elliot simply stared at her, apparently struggling to believe that she had dared to insult him so openly. Even his men looked surprised by the force of her response.He had expected fear, tears, and desperate promises. He had imagined that once Clara understood how completely he controlled her circumstances, she would finally recognize that rejecting him had been a mistake.Instead, she had insulted him to his face.His expression slowly darkened. “What did you just call me?”Clara lifted her chin as far as his earlier grip would allow. “You heard me.”Elliot frowned. “You think you're in a position to insult me?”Clara spat, “I think you're proving exactly why I never wanted you.”Elliot's face twisted with fury.Clara knew she was taking a risk. She could see the danger in the way his jaw tightened, and the last trace of amusement disappeared from his eyes. Yet she could not bring herself to pretend that she regretted rejecting him.She had not chosen Alexander because

He almost laughed at the thought of Nahir receiving the photograph. Nahir had his own reasons for wanting Clara out of the way, although Elliot knew little about the details.That ignorance did not concern him because he did not need to understand every aspect of Nahir's schemes to recognize that the two men had plenty of reasons to distrust each other.And distrust was precisely what Elliot wanted.If Nahir suspected Alexander had arranged Clara's disappearance, he might turn against him. If Alexander believed Nahir was responsible, the two men could waste valuable time trying to outmaneuver each other.Meanwhile, Elliot would keep Clara exactly where he wanted her.He glanced toward the chair.Clara was watching him intently above the cloth covering her mouth. Exhaustion and apprehension showed in her eyes, but she had neither lowered her head nor turned away from him.That look irritated Elliot.Even now, she refused to behave like someone who understood her position.He slipped hi
