Chapter 41 Chapter 41 Gai was at my side, stone-faced. Ethan stormed in seconds later, his presence radiating heat. My wolf, Heath, stirred inside me- impatient, ready to rip the truth out of someone. "I'll ask once," I said. My voice echoed off the bare walls. "Has anyone found Olivia?" John, the factory manager, stepped forward. Sweat dotted his brow. "N-no, Alpha Alexander... we're still looking. She left the building around one p.m.-" "And you were the one assigned to show her around today," I cut him off coldly. "So you would know where she went. Correct?" He swallowed hard. "I escorted her to the front gate... after that, she said she had a personal errand..." "What if I told you I had proof that's a lie?" I stepped forward. "What then?" The blood drained from his face. He opened his mouth, but no words came out. Beside me, Ethan moved. He was on John in a second, fist twisting the collar of his shirt, dragging him forward like a rag Chapter 41 doll. "Where the hell is my wife?" The room erupted. "You son of a bitch!" Ethan roared and landed a punch across John's jaw. John crumpled to his knees, coughing blood. "Talk!" Ethan shouted again, fists clenched. "Enough," I ordered, but Ethan barely heard me. John stammered, "I-I didn't do anything! I just-just-" Before he could finish, the door burst open. Jess and Jimson strode in. "What's going on here?" Jess demanded, clearly alarmed. Ethan's eyes blazed. "You dare interrupt now?" He pointed to Jimson. "Drag him out!" Gai stepped in, calm but firm. "That's Jimson Howard, assistant branch manager." Jess blinked. "And who are you?" Gai turned to her. "That's Ethan Hawthorne. Olivia's husband." Jess was shocked. Chapter 41 Before another word could be said, more men burst in-John's loyal staff, trying to pull him away. Ethan's men surged forward, clashing in the doorway. The factory turned into a battlefield of shouting and shoving. I ignored the noise and focused on Jimson. He was too calm. His eyes shifted slightly when he saw me watching. I crossed the floor slowly, deliberately. "Jimson," I said. "Where is Olivia?" He squared his shoulders. "I don't know. Whatever this is, it has nothing to do with me." "Really?" My tone dropped colder. "Because right now, your name is the one I'm hearing the most." "Alpha, I... I really don't know," His lips twitched. "These accusations are just defamatory." Alexander's POV My palm slammed down against the metal conference table, echoing through the tense room like a gunshot. "Where is Olivia?" I barked. The air crackled with energy, the pressure of my Alpha tone pushing most of the room into silence. John dropped to his Chapter 41 knees, trembling. "I swear, Alpha-" his voice cracked, "I don't know where she is. If you claim I took her, show me the proof!" I narrowed my eyes. "You escorted her. She never came back. And now she's gone. You want to see proof, John? I'll give you something better-the end of your career if I don't get answers." I turned to Jimson, who was still standing tall with his arms crossed like this was some petty HR matter. "And you," I said sharply. "You're walking a very thin line." Jimson lifted his brows in faux confusion. "With all due respect, Alpha Alexander, are you threatening your own executive staff? For what? A missing secretary?" That made Heath stir again. My wolf growled from within, barely contained. "Are you so sure I won't find her?" I asked. Jimson didn't flinch. Beside him, John gave a nervous chuckle-relief, of all things. As if something had just been confirmed. That look sent a chill through my spine. Was Olivia truly not expected to return? Chapter 41 "You're angry," Jimson said, voice full of feigned hurt. "And you're blaming John and me because she vanished. But is this really the behavior of an Alpha, threatening loyal employees over a woman?" He glanced around the room like he was looking for allies, trying to plant seeds of doubt. "Do you even hear yourself?" I said coldly. "You think loyalty is just doing your job while helping bury my people?" Before I could press further, Gai's phone buzzed. He stepped outside to take the call, and when he returned, his expression had changed. "Alpha," Gai said quickly, "John confessed. He said Olivia was taken to an old mansion-his family's, down by the cliffs near the sea." My heart stilled for a beat. Heath growled louder. I turned to Ethan. "Take your men. Go there now. Search the house from top to bottom." Ethan gave a sharp nod and bolted out the door. "Gai," I said, "expand the search to five kilometers around the mansion. I want aerial scans, sea patrols, everything. She` might've been-" I couldn't finish the sentence. Chapter 41 Thrown overboard.
