Marrying A Secret Zillionaire Happy Ever After novel Chapter 99

Chapter 99 You’re Sharper Than I Thought

Meanwhile, over at Vista Villa, Collin waited patiently for Linsey’s return.

The thought of finally coming clean to her made him unusually anxious.

His heart pounded, each beat growing more insistent–like a drumline echoing his unease.

He had lost count of how many times he had checked his watch.

Time had never dragged this painfully before.

Yet as the seconds crawled by, Linsey was still nowhere in sight.

A nagging unease crept in, tightening around his chest.

Collin knew exactly where Linsey worked, and Vista Villa wasn’t far. Even by bus, the trip should take no more than thirty

minutes. There was no reason for her to be this late.

Frowning, he pulled out his phone and dialed her number, wondering if something had come up.

If she was in trouble, maybe he could help.

But the call went unanswered. He tried again. Then a third time. Still nothing.

His expression darkened, frustration tightening his grip on the phone. With a sharp exhale, he called his subordinate.

“Track Linsey down–now. I have a bad feeling something’s wrong.”

It wasn’t long before his subordinate called back.

“Mr. Riley, the park’s streetlights were down for maintenance, leaving entire stretches in darkness. We pulled footage from nearby cameras–Mrs. Riley was ambushed at an intersection, knocked unconscious, and dragged into a car. We ran the plates. It’s her ex–boyfriend, Felix Wells. A team is already on his tail. We should have an update soon.”

Collin’s expression hardened, his entire presence taut like a coiled spring. “Get the car. Now.”

“Yes, Mr. Riley!”

As Felix closed in, Linsey’s eyes burned with defiance. With a sharp breath, she wrenched free from the loosened ropes and

dodged his lunge.

Thrown off balance, he crashed into the chair that had held her captive. “Ah!”

He staggered upright, rage contorting his face. “You ungrateful wretch! You never know when to give up!”
