Chapter: 123 Part 3: The Divorce Will Proceed
Alexander nodded. "He has found a way to proceed with the divorce without Aurelia's signature."The Crime Boss's eyebrows rose slightly. "Then the matter can finally move forward?""If the court accepts the application and the required procedures are completed, yes.""That's good news, sir."Alexander gave a faint, humorless smile. "It would have been better news if I had discovered the solution before wasting so much time trying to make Aurelia understand that I wanted to leave."The Crime Boss did not respond immediately. He had witnessed enough of Alexander's marriage to know that the young master had not arrived at this decision lightly.Alexander had made sacrifices for Aurelia that few people would have understood, and he had kept his identity and resources hidden because he wanted her affection to be genuine.He had never wanted her to choose him because of his family name or the power he could command; he had wanted her to choose him because he was Alexander.Unfortunately, th
Chapter: 123 Part 2: The Divorce Will Proceed
Alexander glanced toward the Crime Boss, who had finished issuing instructions and was now watching him from across the room.Neither man needed to discuss the urgency of the search. Clara remained missing, and the photograph had confirmed that her captor was prepared to use her disappearance to provoke a reaction.Alexander had two problems demanding his attention, but one did not cancel out the other.He could search for Clara with every resource available to him while still ending a marriage that had long since lost its meaning.He had no intention of allowing Aurelia's refusal to hold his future hostage. "Get it done, whatever it takes."The words came without hesitation.On the other end of the line, the lawyer paused briefly, perhaps surprised by how decisively Alexander had answered."Understood. I'll begin preparing the documents and proceed through the appropriate legal channels. I'll keep you informed of any developments and let you know if the court requires anything furthe
Chapter: 123 Part 1: The Divorce Will Proceed
Alexander stood beside the window, holding his phone against his ear as his lawyer explained the reason for calling.Behind him, the Crime Boss was already coordinating the search for Clara, preparing to involve their contacts in Russia after the photograph had yielded no reliable information about her location.Every passing minute reminded Alexander that someone out there had Clara in their custody, and he had no intention of allowing that person to dictate how the situation would end.Yet the lawyer's call concerned another matter that Alexander had postponed long enough.His divorce from Aurelia."Mr. Alexander, are you still there?" the lawyer asked when he remained silent for several seconds."I'm listening. Tell me what you've found."The lawyer cleared his throat before continuing. "Alexander, we've found a way to make the divorce happen even if Aurelia doesn't sign the papers."For the first time since answering the call, Alexander's expression shifted slightly.He had expect

The Crime Boss nodded. "Yes, Young Master."He moved a short distance away and began arranging the communication, speaking quietly as he explained the urgency of the situation. Alexander watched him for a moment before looking back at the photograph on his own phone.Clara's face filled the screen.The cloth covering her mouth seemed to mock his inability to protect her. He could almost imagine the questions she would ask if she were standing beside him: why had someone taken her again, who was responsible, and how long would it take before she could finally return to a place where she felt safe?Alexander had no answers for her.That was what troubled him most.He could fight an enemy he could see. He could confront a threat once he understood its nature. But an unseen opponent who controlled the information available to him could force him to react without knowing whether he was moving toward Clara or walking directly into a trap.He had no intention of allowing that to happen.His
Chapter: 122 Part 2: An Untraceable Enemy and a Call to Russia
Alexander ended the call without another word.For several seconds, he remained beside the window, staring at the illuminated streets below. He had faced enemies who relied on money, political influence, physical strength, and carefully constructed reputations. Most believed that hiding behind one of those advantages would make them untouchable.But this was different.The kidnapper had taken Clara, concealed their movements, and sent a photograph through a system that left no usable trail.The message suggested that the sender wanted Alexander to see what had happened, yet the precautions surrounding it made the purpose difficult to understand.Was the kidnapper simply trying to provoke him?Did they want to force him into making a mistake?Or was the photograph an invitation to a game whose rules had already been decided by someone else?Alexander's jaw tightened.He refused to accept that he had been reduced to waiting for his enemies to decide what he could know. If the photograp
Chapter: 122 Part 1: An Untraceable Enemy and a Call to Russia
Alexander had barely finished giving the Crime Boss his final instructions when his phone vibrated on the table. He turned toward it immediately, hoping that the Butler had discovered something useful from the photograph of Clara.The image had left him with a thousand unanswered questions, and every minute that passed without a meaningful lead made it harder for him to control the growing fear that something terrible might happen before he reached her.He snatched up the phone and answered without waiting for the second ring. "Speak."The Butler's familiar voice came through the line, serious and measured. "Young Master, we've tried analyzing the image and tracing the IP, but it was sent through a secure system.There is no usable IP address, and the location information appears to have been deliberately crafted. We have no way of identifying the location from the image."Alexander's expression changed. "What do you mean, you have no way of identifying the location?""We've examined
