Chapter 100 What If They Come Back?

• Alex stood in the dimly lit living room of his Manhattan apartment, his eyes fixed on Ira, who lay resting on the plush sofa. Her face was pale, and her frailty was evident. The events of her abduction had taken a toll on her, both physically and emotionally. That afternoon, a doctor had visited to check on her, and the report came back normal. All she needed now was rest and nourishment to regain her strength. However, as Alex watched her, he couldn't shake the feeling that something was off.
• He recalled the moment he found her, the terror in her eyes, the relief when she realized she was safe. But there was something unspoken, a shadow that lingered. He knew better than to press her for details now; she needed time to heal. Alex sighed, running a hand through his hair, and walked towards the balcony, seeking a moment of clarity.
• The city buzzed beneath him, a constant hum of life and movement. He pulled out his phone and dialed Liam’s number. Liam, his trusted confidant, was still on the island where they had found Ira. The line rang twice before Liam picked up.
