When My Ex's Worst Enemy Became My Sanctuary novel Chapter 257

Latham never let go of Dorothea’s hand, his finger tracing gentle patterns across her palm while his gaze stayed cool and steady on the rearview mirror.

When the car rolled to a stop at a red light, the driver shot a quick look at them in the back seat. He immediately locked eyes with Latham, who was watching him with a look that said more than words ever could.

“Aldin, are you nervous today?” Latham asked, tone casual.

Aldin stiffened in his seat. “No, sir.”

“Good. Just keep your eyes on the road. I’m not in the mood for any surprises.”

Aldin swallowed and stared straight ahead, hands tightening on the wheel. “Yes, sir.”

Dorothea glanced between the two, picking up on something in Latham’s tone. Was she imagining things, or was there a hidden meaning there?

Instead of turning right onto Sunset Boulevard like he was supposed to, Aldin suddenly veered left and drove down a lonely, empty street. After about five hundred meters, he pulled over in a deserted area, not a soul around.

Dorothea shot Latham a questioning look, but before she could say anything, he pressed a finger gently to her lips. Then he got out, opened her door, and scooped her up, carrying her over to another car waiting nearby.

Aldin moved fast, switching vehicles and looping back to rejoin the line of wedding cars.

Meanwhile, at the wedding venue, Carola sat in her own car, eyes glued to the tracker in her hand. She toyed with a remote, lips curling into a barely-there smile.

She’d promised Dorothea a grand wedding gift, after all. Not even Latham would imagine she’d managed to buy off the person he trusted most.

As soon as the newlyweds’ car entered the venue, she planned to press the button. What a way to start the celebration. Watching the endless stream of wedding cars winding closer, she could feel her excitement bubbling over—she couldn’t wait for the chaos to begin.

She pictured the scene, bodies scattered around the wedding hall. What a spectacle.

Finally, the wedding car pulled up to the entrance. Latham and the driver got out.
