The Mafia Lord's Secret Lover (Evelyn and Axel) novel Chapter 325

Chapter 325: We Captured Them!

Almost another hour crawled by.

Then his phone buzzed again.

Axel reacted instantly, snatching it up so fast it nearly slipped from his grasp.

Ethan’s name appeared.

He answered before the second ring.

"Axel, we captured them!"

Those words were like gasoline on a flame.

A sinister spark ignited in Axel’s gaze. His shoulders were stiff, and his jaw was ticking hard enough to ache. The grief in his chest did not vanish, but it sharpened into something lethal.

"Where?" Axel asked, voice ice cold.

"Old district warehouse. They tried crossing the border. We cornered them before they reached Nevalis."

Axel couldn’t be happier to hear this now. Those bastards chose Nevalis, the city where his men ruled the underground like a kingdom forged in gunpowder and steel. They couldn’t have chosen a worse place to run.

Ethan continued, "Anthony and his team are securing the perimeter. We have all six of them alive. I arrived and started to interrogate, but—"

Axel cut in, voice low. "I’m on my way."

"Should I start—?"

"No," Axel snapped. "No one kills them until I arrive. They tried to kill my wife. They killed my child. They don’t get to scream before I get there.... I will take their life!"

His free hand curled into a fist, nails digging into his palm as he left the room. He met a few of his men outside and asked them to call someone to have a car ready for him.

"Yes," Ethan replied. "We’ll wait."

Axel ended the call.

When the elevator opened, Liam was inside, surprised to see him.

"Boss... Do you need something?" He asked, confused, as Axel seemed to leave the floor.

Axel didn’t rush to answer him. His heart remained split in two. Half in that operating room with Evelyn, half already in that warehouse where justice waited to be delivered by his own hands.

After a long moment of silence, Axel finally spoke.

"I need to go to the old warehouse. They captured them."

Liam’s posture straightened immediately.

"Ah, they already told you. Yes, that’s right. Ethan already interrogated them, boss." He lowered his voice, holding the elevator door open. "I will drive you there."

Axel said nothing as he entered, his expression unreadable, eyes flat like steel cooled in winter.

The elevator doors slid shut.

As it descended, Axel pulled out his phone, thumbs moving across the screen to text David Hamm.

"Dave, Finley Morgan will come to visit. Please receive him on my behalf."

After sending the text, he pocketed the phone. No hesitation. No second thoughts.

Liam’s car screeched into motion, merging onto the highway.

The world outside blurred into streaks of color, but Axel didn’t see any of it. His mind drifted back to the scene he had seen on the cliff.

Not long after, a notification chimed.

"Why did Finley come to visit you in the hospital? Did he know about my sister-in-law’s accident?" From: David Hamm

Another message arrived before Axel could reply.

"Axel, you left the hospital? Where are you going? Did you return home to take my nephew, Oliver?" From: David Hamm

Axel closed his eyes and inhaled deeply. He reminded himself of why he was leaving. Evelyn’s surgery would take hours... possibly longer. By the time she came out, she would be unconscious from anesthesia. She would not wake up soon.

This window of time was all he had.
