Unwilling Trophy Wife (Serena and Victor) novel Chapter 207

Chapter 207

“I’m so sorry. This is all my fault. I never imagined the nanny would actually take Alyssa,” Serena said, overwhelmed by guilt. As long as Alyssayemained missing, she couldn’t breathe easy.

Keith kept his voice steady as he said, “This isn’t your fault.” He knew that now more than ever, they had to stay calm and focused,

He added, “If anyone is to blame, it’s me. I assumed the nanny wouldn’t do anything to hurt a child. It was my idea to leave Alyssa with you, so don’t blame yourself.”

Hearing that helped Serena regain some composure. She realized that panicking would only make things worse. Her eyes, which had just moments ago been full of distress, now showed a flicker of steadiness.

She said, “The most likely person behind this is Tara. She has been bothering Alyssa nonstop lately. I can’t think of anyone else who would do something like this.”

Then, Serena turned to Keith and asked, “Can you reach her? Maybe Alyssa is with her.”

Keith nodded. “I don’t have her number, but I know someone who does.”

Serena’s eyes lit up, and both of them spoke at the same time. “Nicole.”

Tara and Nicole had been classmates. If it hadn’t been for Nicole, Tara wouldn’t have been able to find work at the company back then. So, they were

certain Nicole had a way to contact her.

“I’ll call Nicole. You stay here and wait for news from the police,” Keith said as he stepped outside.

Serena took a few deep breaths, trying to calm herself down.

The police arrived quickly. Normally, a person had to be missing for 24 hours before a case could be filed, but since it was a child, and the surveillance footage clearly showed her being taken, the officers got involved right away.

Keith headed out and wasted no time dialing Nicole’s number.

Nicole sounded genuinely surprised on the other end. “Mr. Brannon? What a surprise! I’m still at the office. Did you need something-”

Keith didn’t wait for her to finish and said, “Send me Tara’s contact info. Right now.” With that, he immediately hung up.

Nicole didn’t understand what was going on, but she could tell something was off. He sounded much more anxious than usual. Without hesitation, she sent over Tara’s phone number and WhatsApp contact.

After getting the contact info, Keith called Tara right away. She picked up quickly, sounding annoyed. “Who is this?”

“Tara, is Alyssa with you?” Keith’s voice was sharp, like it could cut straight through ice.

Tara went silent on the other end for a couple of seconds before abruptly hanging up. She didn’t admit anything outright, but it was obvious now that

she had indeed taken Alyssa.

Just then, Serena called out from inside, “Keith, come look. We found the license plate.”

They had combed through the surveillance footage again, and finally, in a corner camera at the edge of the complex, they spotted the nanny carrying Alyssa into a car. The angle happened to catch the license plate.

One of the officers said, “We’ll follow up on this lead right away. If you find out anything else, contact us right away,”
