SCORNED EX WIFE : Queen Of Ashes Chapter 166
Chapter 166Alexander stared at the map spread across Victoria's dining table, his eyes burning from lack of sleep. Twenty hours since Camille's abduction. Twenty hours of dead ends and false leads. He marked another X on the map, another empty location searched and cleared."Nothing at the warehouse in Queens," he reported, his voice rough with exhaustion. "Just like the other three properties."Across the table, Stefan Rodriguez nodded grimly. The two men had barely spoken directly to each other in the past hours, communicating only through updates and tactical discussions. Their shared history, Stefan as Camille's ex-husband who had chosen Rose over her hung between them like an invisible wall."She's playing with us," Stefan said, studying the pattern of X marks across the map. "Leading us in circles while she keeps Camille somewhere we haven't even considered."Alexander's jaw tightened. The thought of working with Stefan still turned his stomach, but the man knew Rose better tha

Chapter 165Cold. That was the first thing Camille felt. Cold and a deep, throbbing pain in her head.She tried to move, but her arms wouldn't respond. Slowly, her eyes opened to a dimly lit room with wooden walls. Her vision swam, the effects of whatever drug Rose had given her still lingering in her system.Looking down, Camille saw thick rope binding her to a heavy wooden chair. Each wrist tied separately to the armrests, ankles secured to the chair legs. Whoever had tied these knots knew what they were doing.A wave of fear washed over her, threatening to drown her reason. She forced it down, focusing instead on her surroundings. Wooden walls. A stone fireplace. Large windows showing dense forest outside. And something else, something familiar.Recognition dawned slowly. She knew this place. Or rather, she knew what it had once been.The old Lewis family cabin. Where they had spent summers when they were younger. Where they had once been sisters before everything changed.But this

Chapter 164The drive to the lake house was a battle against time and his own racing thoughts. Alexander made calls continuously, to his security teams, to his tech specialists, to anyone who might help locate Camille. He ordered satellite imagery of the area where she was taken. Traffic camera footage. Cell tower data. Anything that might give them a lead.Victoria was waiting on the deck when he arrived, her face pale but composed. Despite her illness, despite her recent treatments, she stood straight-backed and commanding. The sight gave Alexander a flicker of hope. If anyone could match Rose's determination, it was Victoria Kane."The FBI will be here in thirty minutes," he reported. "Stefan Rodriguez shortly after. I've got my own teams setting up tracking operations."Victoria nodded, gesturing for him to follow her inside. The living room had been transformed in record time. Computer screens lined one wall. Maps covered another. Victoria's assistant directed a constant flow of

Chapter 163Alexander was in the middle of his meeting with Agent Chen when the alarm on his phone blared, a sound he had never wanted to hear. His security team's emergency signal.His blood turned to ice. He was already moving toward the door as he pulled up the tracking app, watching the red dot that represented Camille's car blinking rapidly on a rural road."I need to go," he said, his voice tight. "Something's wrong."Agent Chen looked up from her files, instantly alert. "What happened?""Distress signal from Camille's security team." Alexander's fingers flew across his phone screen, calling in his backup teams. "No response from any of them.""I'll send FBI units," Chen said, already reaching for her radio.But Alexander barely heard her. He was already running for the elevator, his heart pounding against his ribs. He had left Camille at the lake house with a security detail he had personally trained. They wouldn't trigger the emergency protocol unless the situation was dire.T

Chapter 162The morning sun sparkled on the lake as Camille prepared to leave. The overnight stay had been a brief but needed escape from the constant pressure of the past months. Victoria stood on the deck, waving as Camille loaded her bag into the car."Come back next weekend," she called. "Bring Alexander next time. I need civilized company out here."Camille smiled, knowing Victoria was far from lonely with her staff and security team in constant attendance. "I'll call you tonight," she promised.Alexander had left early that morning, called back to the city for an urgent meeting with the FBI. He'd wanted to postpone his return until he could travel with Camille, but she had insisted she would be fine with her security detail."Four weeks without a sign of Rose," she had reminded him. "And I'll have two cars of security personnel. Go handle the FBI."Now, as her driver James held the door open for her, Camille felt a flicker of unease. The peaceful night at the lake had lowered he

Chapter 161Four weeks. Twenty-eight days without a sign of Rose. Not a text. Not a sighting. Not a whisper.Camille stood at the window of her office at Kane Industries, watching the city below. Security guards still accompanied her everywhere. The FBI still checked in daily. Alexander's team still swept for bugs and bombs each morning.But something had changed. The tight knot of fear in her stomach had loosened slightly. Not gone, she doubted it would ever truly disappear, but different now. More like an old injury that ached before rain than the sharp, consuming pain of a fresh wound.She checked her watch. Three hours until they would drive to Victoria's lake house. The doctors had finally allowed Victoria to leave the hospital two weeks ago, but insisted she recover somewhere quiet, away from the stress of the city. The lake house, with its private security and peaceful surroundings, had been the perfect solution.A knock on her door interrupted her thoughts. Jason, Alexander's

Chapter 160Dr. Sharma knocked twice before entering Victoria's hospital room, her face unreadable as she carried a folder of test results. Camille sat up straighter in her chair, her heart speeding up. Two weeks had passed since Rose's threatening message. Two weeks of heightened security, constant fear, and waiting for Victoria's latest test results."Good morning," Dr. Sharma said, her voice giving away nothing. "How are you feeling today, Ms. Kane?"Victoria, sitting up in bed for the first time in days, nodded slightly. "Better than yesterday. Less pain."Camille studied her mother's face, hardly daring to believe the small improvements she'd noticed over the past few days. The color returning to Victoria's cheeks. The clarity in her eyes. The way she'd begun asking about Kane Industries again, as if planning for a future she might actually see.Dr. Sharma pulled up the bedside chair and sat down, opening the folder on her lap. "I have your latest scan results."Camille reached f

Chapter 159The phone buzzed on the hospital nightstand. Just once. A single text message.Camille glanced at it, expecting another update from Alexander, who had stepped out to take a call from the security team. Victoria was asleep, her breathing finally even after a difficult morning of treatments. The room was quiet except for the steady beep of monitors and the soft hiss of the oxygen machine.Camille reached for the phone, grateful for the distraction from her worried thoughts. The screen lit up.Unknown number.She opened the message and froze.*You took everything from me twice. Now I'll take everyone from you.*The words burned into her eyes. No signature. None needed. Camille knew exactly who had sent it.Rose.Her hand shook as she stared at the message. The phone suddenly felt hot, dangerous, as if it might explode in her palm. She wanted to throw it across the room, to smash it against the wall, to destroy the link between her and the sister who would not stop hunting her

Chapter 158Rose sat in the dingy motel room, the glow of the television casting harsh shadows across her face. Her newly dyed black hair hung in wet strands around her shoulders, dripping onto the worn carpet. The cheap hair dye had stained her fingernails dark, making them look dirty no matter how she scrubbed."Breaking news in the Grand Plaza Hotel bombing," the anchor announced. "The FBI has released security footage clearly identifying the main suspect."Rose leaned forward, breath caught in her throat.Her own face filled the screen, not her current disguise, but her real face, captured in perfect clarity as she placed an explosive device near the hotel's kitchen. The footage showed her checking her watch, attaching the bomb, and then looking up briefly, giving the camera a clean shot of her features."The FBI has identified the suspect as Rose Lewis, 28, the adopted sister of Camille Kane, whose Phoenix Foundation was hosting the charity gala targeted in the attack."Rose grab
