Chapter 195
ALEXANDER
Faith was gone.
The words echoed in my mind like a deafening sound, repeating over and over until I could hardly think.
Her bodyguards had managed to send a final report before everything went silent. They were ambushed. Faith had been taken. And by the time reinforcements got to the location, the guards were dead–slaughtered like they were nothing more than obstacles in the way.
Something inside him snapped when Dominic heard that.
I’d seen Dominic angry before. I’d seen him enraged. I’d even seen him vindictive. But never like this.
He stood in the middle of the room, shaking, his hands clenched into fists at his sides. His breathing was ragged, uneven, as though he couldn’t catch enough air. And his eyes–bloodshot, wild, desperate—were nothing like the Dominic I knew.
“No,” he rasped, his voice barely audible. “No, no, no-”
Then he whirled and slammed his fist into the nearest wall.
The crack of his knuckles hitting it was like a whip, and it jolted a gasp from me. He didn’t even seem to feel it, didn’t seem to notice the blood dripping from his hand as he pulled it back and punched again. And again.
“Dominic,” I said, taking a step closer, but he didn’t seem to hear me. Or if he did, he wasn’t listening.
“Fucking Nathan!” he thundered, turning on his heel, his entire body trembling with rage. “I swear to God, Alex, if he lays so much as a finger on her–if he hurts her-” His voice broke, and for a moment there, I saw something I’d never seen in him. Desperation.

“We will find her,” I said firmly, pulling out my phone. “I’ll call my agent. We’ll figure out who the hell did this.”
I knew it had to be Nathan. There was no other possibility.
But why?
Nathan had always wanted Raina. Obsessed over her. Chased after her like she was his goddamn lifeline.
So why Faith?
What the hell was he playing at?
We pulled up to the house in strained silence, the reality of what had just happened bearing down on us like a crushing weight. Dom barely let the car come to a stop before he threw open the door and all but ran into the house. His whole body was tense, his fists clenched at his sides. I followed closely behind, watching as he turned to the men who had been at the scene, his expression dark and demanding.
“Tell me everything,” Dominic barked, his voice sharp and raw.
