Shadows Of A Forgotten Spring Novel

Chapter 198 +23 For hours , Alexander sat in silence , his mind a battlefield of worst case scenarios .

His family were out there somewhere , and he had no idea where .

Every second that passed felt like an eternity , a slow , torturous countdown to a fate he couldnt bear to imagine .

The whole world was going crazy over the news , but none of them have a first hand feeling of what was going on .

Then , the door slammed open .

Kevin stumbled inside , breathless , clutching a phone so tightly his knuckles had turned pale .

Sir , we have a message .

Alexander jumped to his feet and hurriedly grabbed the phone ; his grasp on it was so hard his knuckles turned white , and he clicked on the message , but the message he had just received didnt make any sense at all .

It was just an address and nothing else .

No threats .

No demands .

No explanation .

Just an address .

Alexanders brows furrowed as his eyes scanned the words over and over again , his brain refusing to accept what he was seeing , and then it clicked in his head that the address wasnt just an ordinary address .

It was the site of a house that had burned to the ground fifteen years ago .

With brows clenched , Alexander handed the phone back to Kevin .

But still , the message still does not make any sense considering the fact that the family who owns the building had all died in a very terrible fire fifteen years back .

Sir , the police are already on it .

Kevin instantly added .

But Alexander wasnt going to sit around and wait .

He snatched his car keys and stormed toward the door .

Sir , wait ! Kevin hurried after him , barely able to keep up .

Lets wait for the police .

Theyll … He sprinted to his car , throwing himself into the drivers seat and revving the engine .

He had no time to wait .

If Annie had taken Emma and the twins there , if they were trapped in that ruin , he had to get there now .

The past clawed at his mind as he sped out of the garage , tires screeching against the pavement .

Fifteen years ago , he had been in that house .

He couldnt remember everything because he had been too drunk , too out of it , but he did remember one thing .

That was the night Annie had first tried to sleep with him .

He cursed out loud , the thought of Annie leaving a bad taste in his mouth .

One thing was clear : if that was where Annie hid his family , then he would make sure to come out with them ALIVE or die trying .

He stepped on the pedal , racing past cars on the road like the maniac he has turned into .
