Unwilling Trophy Wife (Serena and Victor) novel Chapter 206

Chapter 206

There were actually extra rooms in the house, but Serena felt it was better to keep Alyssa close. That way, if anything happened during the night, che could handle it right away.

Alyssa had wanted to stick with her anyway, so she nodded without hesitation.

The look of complete trust on her face made Serena’s heart melt. She wished things could stay like this forever.

Over the next few days, Serena went to work during the day while a professional nanny looked after Alyssa. In the evenings, she would come home to have dinner with Alyssa or take her out for a bit.

Serena even made a few custom dolls she had designed herself. Alyssa adored them and wouldn’t let them out of her hands.

Even Keith, whenever he dropped by and saw Alyssa laughing and full of energy, couldn’t help but feel a little emotional. He had never seen her so cheerful before. Still, he didn’t feel jealous.

Serena had a unique warmth that seemed to draw people in, as quietly uplifting as sunshine breaking through the clouds. Every time she went to the kindergarten, she was especially well–liked.

A few days later, Serena returned home with some cupcakes she had bought, and as soon as she walked in the door, she sensed something was off

Every day when she got home, there would be a little figure by her side, circling around her, curious about what treats or toys she had brought back. But today, it was far too quiet.

As soon as Serena stepped into the room and realized Alyssa wasn’t there, she felt her heart drop. She hurriedly checked all the other rooms, but the girl was nowhere to be found, and that was when she started to panic.

She knew very well that Alyssa was a well–behaved kid, so there was no way she would just wander off like that.

With trembling hands, Serena pulled out her phone and called Keith.

Work had been hectic for Keith lately with a major business deal in progress, so she rarely bothered him. The moment he saw her name on the screen, a bad feeling crept over him. He quickly stepped out of the meeting and answered the call.

He quickly asked, “What happened?”

Serena sounded shaken and uncertain. “I came home and Alyssa was just… gone. The room doesn’t show any sign of her. But she would never go out on her own.”

Keith’s expression hardened. “I’ll call the nanny right now. Stay home and wait for me. I’m coming back.”

The only people who had access to the place and could get close to Alyssa were Serena and the nanny.

Keith didn’t doubt Serena for a second, so that left just one answer–the nanny must have taken Alyssa outside.

He called the nanny twice, but no one answered. That alone was enough for Keith to be sure that she was the one who had taken Alyssa. What he didn’t know yet was why.

He thought worriedly, ‘If it’s just about money, that’s still manageable…‘

Nervous thoughts clouded his mind as Keith reached the apartment complex. He spotted Serena already speaking with the trying to get access to the surveillance footage.

One of the staff said, “This one is the camera outside your door, right?”
