Chapter: 125 Part 6: A Familiar Face on the Road to Court
Alexander held his gaze for another second before turning away. He had no intention of wasting the morning exchanging threats with a man who had already shown how little he valued other people’s lives.His priority remained Clara, and every minute spent arguing with Nahir was another minute in which the person holding her could move her somewhere even harder to find.Alexander entered the courthouse and looked across the waiting area until he spotted Aurelia and Vivian. Aurelia appeared to be watching him, her expression caught between anxiety and regret, but he did not acknowledge her.He simply walked toward the opposite side of the room and took his seat.Aurelia lowered her eyes, feeling the distance between them more sharply than she had expected. Even now, when they were about to face the legal end of their marriage, Alexander treated her as someone whose presence no longer required a response.Nahir remained near the entrance, watching Alexander from a distance.His earlier con

Alexander arrived a few minutes later.His vehicle stopped near the courthouse entrance, and the Crime Boss stepped out first to check the surroundings. Once he was satisfied that there was no immediate threat, he opened the rear door.Alexander emerged, adjusted his suit jacket, and looked toward the courthouse.He had come prepared to face Aurelia, her lawyer, and whatever objections might be raised against the divorce.He did not expect the hearing to be pleasant, but he had no intention of allowing the proceedings to become another opportunity for someone to manipulate him.As he approached the entrance, he noticed a familiar figure standing nearby.Nahir.For a moment, Alexander’s attention settled on him, and the anger he had kept under control throughout the journey sharpened into something colder.Nahir had been involved in Clara’s first kidnapping. He had helped create the circumstances that made Alexander appear violent in front of Aurelia, and he had repeatedly used other p

Aurelia’s eyes narrowed. “You expect me to believe that you suddenly care about helping me?”“I have always cared about you.”“Then why didn't you tell me the truth when I asked you about Clara?”Nahir hesitated for the briefest moment before answering.“Because I was afraid you had already made up your mind about me. Every time I tried to explain, you brought up another accusation. I didn't know how to make you listen.”The explanation was designed to make her feel responsible for his silence, just as he had done on previous occasions. However, Aurelia no longer responded to his wounded expression as readily as she once had.She had begun to recognize how often he turned her doubts into accusations against herself.Vivian, who had been watching him closely, finally intervened. “Enough, Nahir. If you truly came to support Aurelia, then you should respect her request to stay away from her.”Nahir turned toward her. “I understand, Vivian. I don't want to cause any trouble.”“Your words

Aurelia nodded, although her attention seemed divided between Vivian’s words and the courtroom doors.“I know,” she replied quietly. “I'm trying.”“Then focus on what you can control. You cannot force Alexander to change his mind, and you cannot undo the mistakes you made. But you can make sure that you understand every decision before you respond to it.”Aurelia lowered her gaze.She knew Vivian was right, but accepting that truth did not make it any easier to face the consequences of her choices. For years, she had assumed Alexander would always be there, quietly supporting her regardless of how often she dismissed him.She had mistaken his patience for an unbreakable attachment and his sacrifices for something she could take for granted;d, only when he began walking away had she understood how much she stood to lose.Vivian was about to say something else when her expression suddenly changed. Her eyes shifted toward the courthouse driveway, and the faint crease between her brows de

The thought that she might be suffering somewhere while he sat helplessly in a moving vehicle made his fingers curl against his knee; he forced himself to breathe slowly.Panic would not find Clara. Anger alone would not bring her home. Until he had a concrete lead, he needed to keep his mind clear enough to recognize an opportunity when it appeared.And he had another matter to settle first.The divorce hearing would not change his determination to find Clara, but neither would Clara’s disappearance make him reconsider his decision to leave Aurelia.He had spent too long waiting for his wife to recognize the difference between the man who had stood beside her for three years and the man she had always been willing to defend.That part of his life was over.As the convoy approached the courthouse, the vehicle slowed near an intersection. Alexander glanced through the window, his attention briefly drawn to a fuel station on the opposite side of the road.A man stood beside a parked car

The following morning, the safe house was unusually quiet, but the silence did little to ease the tension hanging over the building.Every person inside knew that Alexander had two battles to face that day: one in the courthouse, where he intended to bring his marriage to an end, and another outside it, where Clara remained missing, and the people responsible for her disappearance had yet to reveal themselves.The Crime Boss had just ended a phone call with Alexander’s butler when he heard footsteps coming from the corridor. He lowered his phone and turned toward the stairs, where Alexander appeared a moment later.Alexander looked remarkably composed. He had shaved carefully, his hair was neatly arranged, and his dark suit fitted him perfectly. Anyone who saw him would have assumed that he had slept peacefully and prepared for the day without a single worry.However, the Crime Boss had spent enough time around him to recognize the tension hidden behind his calm expression.Alexander
