Alex gave a few final instructions before taking Danielle's hand. They walked briskly out of the abandoned lot and slid into the SUV idling by the curb.
The vehicle pulled away from the ridge, heading straight for the city.
Leaning back against the passenger seat, Danielle closed her eyes. The chaotic events of the night kept playing on an endless loop in her mind.
Mike's cold stare, the deafening roar of the helicopter, and the name Harold tangled together like a knot of dread in her chest.
Alex gripped the steering wheel, keeping his eyes on the road. A sharp edge of vigilance remained in his gaze as he constantly checked the rearview mirror, making sure they weren't being tailed.
He drove fast but with perfect control, desperate to get Danielle back to the house—back to the fortress of security teams waiting for them.
Throughout the drive, his assistant kept sending updates. There were reports on the helicopter's flight path and the initial findings of Mike's social network.
There were also constant check-ins regarding Niki's security detail. Alex responded to every single one with crisp, commanding clarity, not showing an ounce of panic.
Listening to his steady voice, Danielle felt the anxiety in her chest slowly recede.
With him by her side, she felt like even if the sky were falling, he would hold it up for her. It was a sense of utter security that no one else in the world could provide.
The SUV merged onto the city streets.
Danielle opened her eyes and glanced at him. His jaw was clenched tight, masking the sheer exhaustion lurking in his eyes.
But he couldn't hide it from her.
From the moment they received the threatening text last night, to the tactical setup, the standoff, and the disastrous ambush just now...
He hadn't slept a wink. He was physically and mentally drained, yet he pushed through it all to protect her and keep their world from collapsing.

The readers' comments on the novel: The Wife You Buried Is Back from Hell
Although she was one of the protagonist (and best friend of Danielle), I'm really annoyed with Kristen. What does she actually want? She wants to be completely free from Gian, whatever their business is. But when Gian doesn't care about her, she gets annoyed and overthinks. Hey, Kristen, the world doesn't revolve around you. You may follow your own feelings, but that doesn't mean you can ignore other people's feelings at all!...
It seems like this novel will end at chapter 5000. Every time one issue ends, another one pops up, and it seems like the author is just trying to drag it out. I'm starting to get tired of reading it....
I hope daniele will have no end game with alexander since whatever the reason is, he only give her too much grievencess. I hope there will be another male character with stronger present than alexander to have the end game with daniele. Hated that in the name of love or protection alexander can treat another woman better, not just once, but with this new lorie girl... Oh my blood pressure getting higher cause by the new plot :(...
