Chapter_234
Elaine’s grip tightened around the steering wheel as she sped through the dark streets, her mind racing. Delphine’s words echoed in her head, a constant reminder of what was at stake. “The dead can keep secrets.” If she lost this game, the consequences would be far worse than anything she had faced before. It wasn’t just about power anymore—it was about survival.
As she neared the sanatorium, she could already sense the chaos that awaited her. The staff’s frantic search for Whitney and Tiana was palpable, but Elaine remained calm, knowing she had the upper hand. They might have made it out, but they didn’t have the resources or the connections she did. They were out of their element, and soon, they’d realize just how tightly she was pulling the strings.
She didn’t even break a sweat when the nurse approached her, panic written all over the woman’s face. Elaine had no patience for incompetence. “Find them. They cannot escape,” she snapped, her cold, calculating gaze sending a shiver down the nurse’s spine. Failure was not an option, and Elaine made sure everyone knew it.
Her fingers tightened around the phone as she dialed her trusted men. They had one job: find Tiana and Whitney before they could expose her to Ludwik. If either of them got their hands on the proof, it would be game over.
Tiana and Whitney, unaware of the storm quickly gaining on them, moved swiftly through the city. The night was thick with tension, each step they took closer to safety. But Tiana’s mind never stopped working, always scanning their surroundings, always alert. She knew Elaine would stop at nothing to track them down. They had to keep moving, keep staying one step ahead.
“We’ll make it,” Tiana muttered under her breath. Her voice was low but firm, carrying the weight of the promise she had made to her friend. She wasn’t just fighting for herself anymore—she was fighting for Whitney and the baby. And that meant she would do whatever it took.
Whitney, her face pale from exhaustion, her steps dragging, looked at her friend with a quiet gratitude. “Thank you, Tiana,” she whispered, her voice thick with emotion. “I don’t know what I would do without you.” But her thoughts quickly turned back to her baby, the fragile life inside her that had already been threatened too many times. “Just get us somewhere safe. We can’t afford to stop now.”
Tiana nodded without a word, her determination hardening. They were so close. She could feel it. They would expose Elaine, and everything would come crashing down on her. But the danger wasn’t over yet. Elaine was relentless, and if they weren’t careful, they might walk straight into a trap.
The streets seemed to stretch on forever as the two women moved closer to their destination. Every corner they turned, every shadow they passed, felt like it could be the moment they were discovered. Yet, they kept moving, refusing to stop or slow down. They had to stay ahead of the game.
Behind them, Elaine’s men were closing in, but they hadn’t anticipated just how resourceful Tiana and Whitney would be. Despite the overwhelming odds, the women had a fire in them that Elaine couldn’t snuff out—not yet. The chase was on, and the stakes were higher than ever.
Elaine’s men wouldn’t give up easily, but neither would they. It was a race against time, and only one side would come out victorious.
