TimeNovelChapter 1452: Without warning, Alexander pulled a knife from his pocket, the blade catching the overhead light with a sinister glint.
Daniela faced him without flinching, her eyes unreadable.
A manic, broken laugh tore from Alexander's throat.
"They say you're smercenary legend. I know my little stunts mean nothing to you. Did you get the text earlier? Hamilton's been digging for your weaknesses." Without warning, Alexander dragged the blade across his wrist in one swift, reckless motion.

One splash spattered across Daniela's cheek-startling, cold, and slick. For a heartbeat, Daniela froze. Her eyes fixed on the blood, her muscles locked in place, a sudden, primal unease thrumming through her veins.
She curled her hands into fists, knuckles whitening as she fought to keep her composure.
"Hamilton's been houndingto give up your weaknesses." Alexander gasped, his voice ragged, thick with pain and desperation.
"But I wouldn't tell him. I couldn't do that to you, Daniela. Don't you get it?" Daniela fought to keep the fear from taking over. She paused with her eyes closed, forcing herself to remember she had the tranquilizer in her bag. Her hand reached out, searching for it.
Before she could grasp the tranquilizer, Alexander lunged forward and flung the bag off the edge without hesitation.
"Still stubborn, I see," he said, lifting his arm.
Blood streamed down from his wrist. Something unhinged had taken over. His eyes were locked on her drained face.

"You used to talk back so much. Now you're quiet. I prefer it this way. Don't worry, Daniela, I won't hurt you. We used to be something, remember? Let's finish what we never started." Her eyes flared with fury. "Try it, and I'll kill you." Blood dripped as he raised his wrist again, the drops landing on her face without warning.
She squeezed her eyes shut, willing herself to shut it all out.
She felt him begin to unbutton her blouse.
She held her breath, trying to find a place in her mind where none of this was real. She wanted to ignore the feeling of blood sliding across her skin. But it wouldn't stop. It fell faster, colder. Her control slipped.
With a deep inhale, she forced her eyes open again. He was leaningn e in-closer than ever.
Cedric approached one of the staff and lifted his phone. "Could you helpfind my wife?" The screen showed a photo of Daniela smiling. It was set as his wallpaper.
