Chapter 32 – The Face of the Enemy

Clara woke up in a dark room — not ropes, not threats, but the cold weight of fear pressing against her.

"Hello, Mrs. Blackwood," came a voice from the shadows.

A tall man stepped into the dim light, sharp suit, colder eyes. "Apologies for the rough approach. I needed your husband's attention."

"Who are you?" she demanded.

He smiled thinly. "Call me Victor."

The name sent a chill through her. He was known in the business world — ruthless, charming, the kind of man who shook hands while planning your downfall.

"What do you want?"

"Revenge," he said simply. "Your husband and I share… unfinished business. He took something that was mine."

Clara swallowed. "And kidnapping me helps how?"

Victor's expression softened almost kindly. "Because you matter to him."

Her heart thudded painfully. For the first time, she realized how deeply Ethan's name had become intertwined with hers.
