Shadows Of A Forgotten Spring Novel

Chapter 196 Chapter 196 A raw scream of fury ripped from Alexanders throat as he struck the wall .

His body was shaking with uncontrolled rage .

His vision blurred not with rage , but with something deeper , something far more evil .

Alexander Black was scared for the first time in his life .

The unknown loomed before him like an endless chasm , consuming all reason he had left .

He had expanded his fathers company into an even larger company and fought enemies more malevolent than most men could imagine .

But now ? Now , he was powerless .

Sir ! Kevin pushed forward , trying to restrain him , his hands grasping his shoulders with force .

You have to calm down , sir ! But how could he ? How could he just stay still when his entire world was out there , scared and alone ? She still hasnt called !? Alexander snapped , his tone rough with desperation as he spun to Kevin .

Kevin just stood there , quiet , his silence speaking louder than his words would .

No , sir .

Alexander cursed under his breath .

They had left all the phone lines open , waiting , hoping , praying for Annie to call and demand a ransom .

But she hadnt .

Fuck the Blackthorn Holdings .

Fuck every damn cent he had ! He didnt care about the empire he had built , didnt care about the wealth he had amassed .

It was nothing without them .

Without her ! Without his children .

His fingers trembled as he wiped away the tears that threatened to fall .

His pain was suffocating him , wrapping around his chest , but he could not afford to fall .

Not yet .

He turned and walked out of the door .

Where are you going ? Kevin yelled after him .

Alexander didnt slow , didnt even glance over his shoulder .

Ive spent too much time cowering behind cameras , he said , his voice cold and resolute .

Its time I start thinking like Annie .

And when he found her when he eventually had her in his grasp there would be no mercy .
