The Wife You Buried Is Back from Hell novel Chapter 1425

Harold escaping overseas meant Alexander was going to go after him. And the world outside their borders was infinitely more dangerous.

"I'm going after him myself. I'll track him down and finish this."

Alexander looked down at Danielle and spoke softly. "I'm sorry for putting you through this again."

Danielle snapped out of her shock. She threw her arms around him, pulling him into a desperate hug. "I knew it," she choked out. "I knew you were going to say that."

"Alexander, it's a warzone over there. Harold practically owns the underworld. You can't go. I won't let you."

She didn't care about Harold's revenge or what happened to Ashford. Her only fear was losing Alexander.

He was her rock, her entire world. If something happened to him, what would she and Niki do?

Alexander rubbed her back, holding her close to soothe her panic. "I know you're scared, but I don't have a choice."

"As long as Harold is alive, we'll have targets on our backs."

"If he gets a chance to rebuild, he's going to come back swinging. And he'll aim straight for us, for Niki, with everything he has."

"I can't let you live in fear. I have to end this. I have to put him down for good."

"But it's not our territory," Danielle cried, gripping his shirt so tightly her knuckles turned white. It was as if she thought he would vanish if she let go. "If something goes wrong out there, what am I supposed to do? What about Niki?"

Danielle's voice broke. She clung to him desperately, refusing to let him go.

"Nothing's going to go wrong."

Alexander leaned down and kissed her forehead. "I have my own connections and resources over there, and Interpol is going to back my play."

"No." Alexander shot the idea down instantly. "Niki is too young; she needs you. And someone has to keep things running here in Ashford. Staying here, protecting our home and our daughter—that's how you help me."

"Besides, it's going to be a bloodbath. I can't put you in the line of fire."

"But I can't just sit here," Danielle pleaded. "If you leave, I'll be sick with worry every single day. I won't be able to eat or sleep. I won't know if you're safe, if you're hurt... I can't live like that."

Watching her tears fall felt like a knife twisting in Alexander's gut.

He reached up and gently wiped the wetness from her cheeks, his voice softening. "I know, sweetheart. I know."

"But you have to trust me. Stay in Ashford. Wait for me."

"I'll video call you and Niki every day. I'll let you know I'm safe, so you'll always know exactly where I am."
