My CEO HUSBAND:sign the divorce Chapter 189: She’s missing!

Inside the building,a chair scraped loudly against the floor.

The next second, I was shoved down onto it.

Rough rope tightened around my wrists, binding firmly to the chair.

I struggled instinctively, trying to pull free.

"Let go—!"

Before I could finish speaking, a sharp force struck my face.

Smack.

The sound echoed harshly through the empty building.

The impact sent crashing sideways onto the floor.

Pain exploded across my cheek instantly, followed by a burning numbness that spread slowly to my lips.

For a mont, I could barely feel half my face at all.

My cheek swelled rapidly, sharp pain stinging where nails had scraped across my skin. I tasted blood at the corner of my mouth as I lay motionless on the cold floor.

One of the n grabbed my hair roughly, forcing my head back before shoving upright against the chair again. The sudden pull sent pain shooting across my scalp, making wince.

A weak sound escaped my throat.

Then footsteps echoed through the abandoned building.

A man in a dark suit walked inside.

The others imdiately stepped aside.

At first, I could only make out his silhouette beneath the dim lighting, but sothing about him felt familiar.

"We finally et again, Alicia Sinclair."

The mont he spoke, my body stiffened.

That voice—

He stepped closer and grabbed my chin, forcing to look up.

And finally, I saw his face clearly.

Lucas Sumr.

So this had all been arranged by him.

But why?

What had I ever done to deserve this?

Lucas studied my face coldly.

"Looking at you up close..." he said slowly, "I can finally understand why Alexander has been losing his mind over you."

My breathing trembled painfully.

"What do you want from ?" I forced out weakly. "What did I ever do to you?"

A cold laugh escaped him.

"What did you do?"

His grip tightened slightly.

"You took sothing that never belonged to you."

I turned my face away instinctively, but he yanked my hair sharply, forcing to face him again.

"Do you really think soone like you deserves to stand beside Alexander?"

Sothing cold flashed in his hand.

Before I could react, a sharp pain tore across my cheek.

I gasped violently.

Warm blood began running down my skin almost imdiately.

Lucas stared down at emotionlessly, the small blade glinting faintly beneath the dim light.

My vision blurred from the pain.

The tallic scent of blood filled the air.

"You care a lot about this face, don’t you?" he said quietly. "Let’s see whether Alexander still wants you now."

Another sharp sting cut across my skin.

My body trembled uncontrollably.

The room around began spinning.

I tried to steady myself, but the chair tipped sideways, crashing onto the floor along with .

Lucas looked down at coldly, as though admiring my misery.

Then he turned toward the others nearby.

"Handle the rest," he said indifferently. "And make sure there are no problems afterward."

Fear surged through instantly.

I tried to move, but my entire body felt weak and heavy.

The n approached slowly.

Their footsteps echoed closer and closer across the empty building.

At the sa ti, a strange dizziness began spreading through my body.

My lower abdon twisted painfully.

Then I heard them talking.

"‎"This woman’s got a nice body!" One of the n said as they ca closer.

"She’s Alexander’s woman, what do you expect!" another one chid in.

But I couldn’t do anything.

My vision grew darker.

And little by little, consciousness began slipping away.

Alexander’s POV

I was still working late at the office tonight.

Ever since Alicia asked for a divorce, she had beco increasingly distant toward .

And lately, I found myself burying everything in work—the frustration, the sorrow, the constant ache in my chest.

Tonight was no different.

Docunts were scattered across my desk when my phone suddenly rang.

Jim.

I assud he was calling to let know Alicia had gotten ho safely.

But the mont I answered, his panicked voice ca through the line.

"Sir... we have a problem."

Sothing inside sank instantly.

"What happened?"

"It’s Mrs. Alicia..." Jim stamred anxiously. "She said she would wait for outside the building, but when I arrived, she was gone. I tried calling her, but the call was rejected imdiately. After that, her phone beca unreachable."

I shot to my feet so abruptly that the chair behind slamd against the floor.

"What do you an she’s gone?" My voice turned cold imdiately. "Where is Alicia?"

"I—I don’t know, sir."

Before he could finish speaking, I hung up and rushed out of the office.

A heavy sense of dread spread through my chest with every passing second.

Sothing was wrong.

Very wrong.

By the ti I arrived at the security departnt, Jim was already there waiting anxiously.

"Pull up the surveillance footage outside the building," I ordered sharply.

The staff hurried to replay the caras.

I stared at the screen without blinking.

The footage showed Alicia leaving the building alone before stopping near the roadside.

A few monts later, a van pulled up beside her.

My brows furrowed instantly.

Two n jumped out.

In less than a minute, they dragged Alicia into the van and drove away.

Everything had been executed with terrifying precision.

The entire security room fell silent.

I stared at the frozen footage on the screen, my jaw tightening violently.

"Pause it."

The video stopped imdiately.

"Zoom in on the plate number."

After enhancing the footage, the numbers finally beca visible.

I pulled out my phone imdiately, and forwarded it to a contact.

"Track this vehicle for right now," I said coldly.

"Understood. Give five minutes."

I turned and headed straight toward the underground garage with Jim following closely behind .

The mont we got into the car, my phone vibrated.

A location had already been sent over.

My grip around the phone tightened instantly.

I forwarded the location to the police and called them directly.

"Send officers there imdiately," I ordered coldly. "This is a kidnapping case."

The engine roared as we sped out of the garage.

For the first ti in a very long while—

I felt genuinely afraid.
