At that exact moment, Alex's eyes snapped open. There was no trace of sleep in his gaze—only cold, predatory awareness.
He had felt the shift in the air. The second the window lock gave way, he had been awake.
Years of cutthroat corporate warfare and living with a target on his back had honed his instincts to a razor's edge.
In a split second, Alex rolled violently to the side, dodging the lethal strike.
The blade grazed the fabric of his shirt and buried itself deep into the wooden headboard with a sickening thud.
"Harold."
Alex's voice was absolute ice. He reached out, clamping a brutal grip on Harold's wrist and twisting it hard.
Harold let out a muffled groan as blinding pain shot up his arm. The knife clattered to the floor.
Fighting through the pain, he swung his free fist toward Alex's jaw, throwing all his weight behind the punch.
Anticipating the move, Alex blocked the strike and drove a punishing elbow straight into Harold's ribs.
Staggering backward, Harold slammed into the wall. "You always were a paranoid bastard, Alex. Can't believe I didn't finish the job."
Pushing himself off the bed, Alex stood in the center of the room. "Did you really think hiding in Penang would save you?"
"I breached your compound tonight. Tomorrow, I end you."
"You're too arrogant for your own good," Harold laughed, his eyes dark with malice.
"Penang is my territory, not your playground."
"Following me here was a death sentence."
"I missed tonight, but you won't live to see the end of the week."

Seeing the backup arrive, Harold realized taking Alex out tonight was no longer an option. Survival was the priority.
Feinting a hook to Alex's face, he spun on his heel and bolted for the window.
Reading the move instantly, Alex lunged, grabbing a fistful of Harold's collar and yanking him backward.
Stumbling, Harold spun and delivered a desperate, crushing right hook straight to Alex's jaw.
Blood immediately split Alex's lip, but his grip remained iron-clad as he slammed his other fist into Harold's ribs.
Swallowing the pain, Harold violently wrenched himself free and threw himself out the shattered window.

The readers' comments on the novel: The Wife You Buried Is Back from Hell
Although she was one of the protagonist (and best friend of Danielle), I'm really annoyed with Kristen. What does she actually want? She wants to be completely free from Gian, whatever their business is. But when Gian doesn't care about her, she gets annoyed and overthinks. Hey, Kristen, the world doesn't revolve around you. You may follow your own feelings, but that doesn't mean you can ignore other people's feelings at all!...
It seems like this novel will end at chapter 5000. Every time one issue ends, another one pops up, and it seems like the author is just trying to drag it out. I'm starting to get tired of reading it....
I hope daniele will have no end game with alexander since whatever the reason is, he only give her too much grievencess. I hope there will be another male character with stronger present than alexander to have the end game with daniele. Hated that in the name of love or protection alexander can treat another woman better, not just once, but with this new lorie girl... Oh my blood pressure getting higher cause by the new plot :(...
