Chapter: 118 Part 3: The Enemy of My Enemy
He paused before continuing. “If they want Alexander, then perhaps we have something in common.”Scar's brother slowly nodded. “But what happens if they're stronger than us?”Nahir's expression remained calm. “Then we don't fight them.” “What do we do?” Scar's brother askedNahir gave a faint smile. “We let them fight Alexander.”The answer left Scar's brother staring.Nahir had already begun thinking several steps ahead. The situation had changed dramatically. At first, he had believed Clara's disappearance was merely another obstacle.Then he had realized it could help him regain Aurelia's trust. Now he saw an even larger opportunity.The unknown kidnapper could potentially become another weapon against Alexander. If Nahir handled the situation carefully, he could gain everything he wanted: Aurelia's trust, the divorce, Aurelia Cosmetics, and eventually, Alexander's downfall.His eyes gleamed at the thought. “Tomorrow will be interesting.”Scar's brother frowned. “Next Tomorrow?”“

Nahir stared at him. The implication was uncomfortable. The unknown kidnapper might not simply be another criminal looking for money. They could have resources. They could have information.They could have people capable of bypassing security systems and trained guards, and if that were true, then the third player had not simply stumbled across Clara. They had deliberately targeted her.Nahir picked up his glass but did not drink. “So you think they're dangerous.”Scar's brother took a deep breath before answering, “I think we should assume they're dangerous until we know otherwise.”A faint smile appeared on Nahir's lips. “That sounds like fear.”Scar's brother raised his head. “It's caution.”“Is there really a difference?” Nahir asked.“There is,” Scar's brother replied. “Fear makes you run when you don't understand what you're facing. Caution keeps you alive long enough to understand it.”Nahir gave a quiet laugh. For once, he did not disagree. His attention returned to the phone.
Chapter: 118 Part 1: The Enemy of My Enemy
Nahir stared at the two messages glowing on his phone.You are playing the wrong game.Ask Alexander where Clara really is.For several seconds, he remained completely still, unable to tear his eyes away from the screen. The alcohol in his glass sat untouched beside him.Only moments earlier, Nahir had been convinced that Clara's disappearance could become an opportunity.He had already begun imagining how he could use the situation to regain Aurelia's trust, undermine Alexander, and position himself as the one person she could rely on.Now, that confidence was beginning to fracture. The room suddenly felt colder, and an uncomfortable suspicion settled over him.Whoever had sent those messages knew too much. They knew Clara was missing; they knew Alexander was involved.More importantly, they seemed to know enough about Nahir's plans to speak to him as though they had been watching his every move.Nahir slowly turned the phone over in his hand. “Who are you?”The question disappeared
Chapter: 117 Part 3: Nahir’s Chance to Win Aurelia Back
Nahir stared at him. The more he considered the plan, the more appealing it became. Only a few minutes earlier, he had viewed Clara's second kidnapping as another threat hanging over his head.Now he was beginning to see it differently. It could become an opportunity.Someone else had created the perfect circumstances for Nahir to step into Aurelia's life as the innocent man who had been wrongly accused.The irony almost amused him.Nahir picked up his glass again, but he did not drink. “If Clara is eventually released and she confirms that I had nothing to do with her disappearance,” he said slowly, “Aurelia will have to reconsider everything she believes about me.”Scar's brother nodded. “Exactly.”Nahir looked toward the window. The city lights reflected faintly against the glass, creating a distorted image of the man sitting in the darkness.For the first time that night, he was no longer thinking about what had gone wrong. He was thinking about what he could gain.Aurelia would b

Nahir slowly raised his eyes. “No?”“You're looking at the situation from the wrong direction.” Scar's brother moved closer. “You're treating Clara's disappearance as nothing more than a threat.”“Isn't it?” Nahir asked as he placed the glass on the table“It is a threat,” Scar's brother admitted. “But it can also become your advantage.”Nahir's expression remained skeptical.Scar's brother continued. “Think about what Aurelia believes right now.”“She believes I kidnapped Clara.” Nahir addedScar's brother stood up. “Exactly.”“And you think that's an advantage?” Nahir asked as he paid attention to understand. “Yes.” Scar's brother immediately responded.Nahir gave him an incredulous look.Scar's brother did not retreat. “You didn't order Clara's second kidnapping.”Nahir's expression changed slightly.That was true. For once, there was something he could honestly deny. He had ordered Clara's first kidnapping. He had been involved in the operation at the Radisson Blu. He had wanted
Chapter: 117 Part 1: Nahir’s Chance to Win Aurelia Back
Across the city, Nahir sat alone in a dimly lit room with a bottle of expensive vodka sitting on the table in front of him.The liquor had barely touched the bottom of his glass before he poured himself another drink. His hands remained steady, but his mind was anything but calm.Everything that had happened at the Radisson Blu kept replaying in his head. Alexander had known about the poison. Alexander had known there were people positioned around the hotel.Alexander had somehow turned what should have been Nahir's victory into a humiliating confrontation, and now Clara was missing again. Worse still, Aurelia believed Nahir was responsible.Nahir lifted the glass to his lips and swallowed the liquor in one long gulp. The burning sensation in his throat did little to ease the anger building inside him.Across the room, Scar's brother watched him carefully.He had been standing there for several minutes, observing Nahir drink as though the man were trying to drown his frustration in al
