Chapter 588 Are You Satisfied Now
In haste, Alex followed the location that Heather had sent him and arrived at Stuart’s villa.
It only took Alex a twenty-minute car drive to reach the villa from the Taylors’ residence.
Once he reached the villa’s iron-wrought gates, Alex called Heather immediately.
Deep down, Alex was seething with anger. I can’t believe Heather went looking for Stuart again. She even came all the way to his villa to visit him.
Along the journey, Alex had made his decision. Once he rescued Heather, he planned to divorce her. Even if she didn’t bring it up, Alex was determined to split things off.
Why would I remain with such a promiscuous woman?
In the blink of an eye, the call connected. Yet, Stuart was the one who answered it.
“Did you come here alone?” Stuart’s voice echoed through the phone.
“Yes. I’m all alone,” Alex replied calmly.
Elvis scurried to the door and caught sight of Alex’s lone figure standing outside the villa’s metal gates. “The gates aren’t locked. Come in with your hands on your head. Don’t try anything funny, or I’ll plant a bullet through Heather’s head,” he yelled.
Alex jolted in shock when he realized that Elvis had a gun. He raised his hands in the walked into the villa with cautious steps.
When Elvis noticed that Alex was alone, he heaved out a sigh of relief.
As Alex entered the villa, Elvis tossed him a pair of handcuffs. With a cold voice, he said to Alex, “Cuff both of your hands with it. If you try to pull a trick, you’ll be returning with Heather’s cold corpse in a bag.”
Trapped in the room, the sight of Alex filled Heather with regret. “Alex, don’t come in! Don’t put on those handcuffs. They want to kill you!” she yelled.
Her loud yell drew Alex’s attention to the window. Yet, Alex remained as cool as a cucumber. There was nothing in his stony gaze that betrayed any emotion. Wordlessly, he bent down. and slid the handcuffs on.
When Heather saw Alex obeying Elvis’ orders, she felt her heartbeat quicken nervously. Yet, she could only watch on helplessly.
On the other hand, Carmen gave Heather a vicious glare. “Have you guine ama
going to live if he doesn’t come in and cuff himself?” Carmen snapped at her daughter.
“Do you think we’d be alive if he’s dead?” Heather retorted heatedly.
When Carmen recalled Stuart’s words, despair filled her heart.
When Alex arrived, she assumed that Stuart only used them as bait to lure and kill Alex. After this entire ordeal, Carmen presumed Stuart would let them go.
However, even if Stuart spared their lives, he wouldn’t let them leave with such ease.
After all, Carmen and Heather would be witnesses to Alex’s murder.
“Shut your mouth! Don’t make me shoot you!” Stuart warned Heather.
Upon his threat, Heather fell silent.
Once Stuart noticed the handcuffs around Alex’s wrist, he finally let his guard down.
He didn’t plan on killing Alex just yet. In fact, Stuart planned to let Alex watch Elvis force. himself on Heather first. Then, he would murder Alex in cold blood.
“Are you satisfied now?” Alex raised his bound wrists and asked Stuart.
Stuart let out a bark of laughter. “Walk in here, slowly,” he commanded as he pointed the gun. at Alex through the window.
