?Chapter 1312:


    With that, he locked his phone, his eyes turning cold and determined.


    His voice cut through the tension. “Start searching now. Shut down every road out of Jazmah. Contact every authority. We need their full cooperation.”


    Finding Sadie was the only priority.


    ording to the cameras, she and the masked man had left just twenty minutes earlier.


    Acting quickly might still give him a chance to intercept them.


    Restlessness churned inside him as he prepared to take charge of the search.


    Just then, Alex shoved his way through the crowd, his eyes wild with panic as he grabbed Noah’s arm. “Where is Sadie? Tell me where she went!”


    Noah’s patience snapped. He yanked his arm free, darkness shing in his gaze. His fist rose, ready to deliver a brutal answer. “You don’t get to demand answers. Sadie is my wife.”


    His blownded hard, sending Alex reeling, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth. Undeterred, Alex wiped the red away, eyes never leaving Noah’s. A gnawing worry told him something terrible had happened to Sadie.


    Before either man could speak, a bodyguard burst in, visibly shaken. “Mr. Wall, we’ve got news. Security spotted the masked man heading for the airport. Mrs.?Wall was with him.”


    Shock flickered in Noah’s eyes. The airport? What could they be nning for Sadie? There was no time for argument. Without a nce at Alex, Noah turned pale and rushed out. The word airport echoed in Alex’s mind, heavy with threat. Pain forgotten, he tore after Noah, mirroring his urgency.


    Inside a sleek car speeding through the city streets, Sadie sat in tense silence beside the White Tiger. The air between them was thick and suffocating. Her fingers curled into her palms, nails biting her skin until a sharp sting cut through her fear.


    Her voice shook but did not break. “What do you want in exchange for my parents’ ashes?”


    Nothing mattered more. She would fight for their return to the end.


    Behind his silver mask, the White Tiger’s mouth curved into a halfsmile, making him all the more chilling. “No need to worry, Ms. Hudson. We’ll arrive in Zupren soon, and everything will be exined there.”

    Sadie mped her teeth on her lower lip, swallowing the dread in her throat. Zupren—a country she had never set foot in. But there was no turning back now. Her parents’ ashes were herst connection to them.


    Noah had sworn to help her bring them home, no matter the cost. If this was the chance she’d been waiting for, she would seize it. She would not let it slip away. Every second of helplessness gnawed at her, but for her parents’ sake, she pressed on.


    The car raced down busy streets, its speed gradually easing as their destination drew near. Soon, the vehicle halted before a sprawling, elegant terminal. They had reached the airport.


    White Tiger nced at her, a flicker of amusement in his eyes behind the silver mask, and motioned for her to step out. Without hesitation, Sadie pushed open the door and stepped onto the pavement.
