Watch Me Win, Alpha

Chapter 79

“The garage camera didn’t record her car,” the property manager, Mr. Greene, reported, voice grim. “But the

gate

footage... it shows her Lexus-registration matches-entering at

08:47 PM exactly.”

“Then the car-her car-vanished from every camera inside the

community?” | asked, my tone flat.

He nodded. “Yes. But then last night, around 09:45 PM, we see a

Chevy leave the garage. License plate was obscured.”

“Someone tampered with the feed,” | said, turning to Gai. “Cross- reference all cameras for past fifty hours. Find

anomalies: blind

frames, jump cuts, missing files.”

“Got it,” Gai replied crisply, tapping keys. “Also pulled the gate timestamp. Scanned for identical cars passing in

and out other

entry points.”

I slid my phone to quit the call now there were police on site, sirens muted - and spoke into silence. “Signal staff

to hold any

technicians on standby. No firmware resets. We need original

data. Freeze everything.”

The officer in charge, Detective Marquez, nodded gravely. “We're already logging chain of custody for all drives

and

DVRs”

“Good,” | said, forcing calm. “The longer we wait, the more

chance someone erases evidence”

Rustling footsteps alertedto Ava approaching. Her face was

pale.

“Alexander,” she whispered, “they found something.”

“What did they find?”

A deer-in-headlights fear made her eyes flicker. “That same

black Malibu... it shows it entering the gate here three days ago.

At midnight. We examined the timestamp: April 25th, exactly

at 0:03 hours.”

“Three nights ago. That's exactly when Olivia left for Jersey.

She’d been followed then too.” Ava swallowed.

“And it wasn’t the scar,” Gai said, voice iron-quiet. “It's

identical make, model and license plate of the one that left last

night.”

| took a step back. “So anyone inside Duskhollow Pines could've

known about her movements, even before tonight.”

My jaw clenched. This wasn’t random. This had been planned

long ago-someone had been tailing Olivia for days.

Chapter 76

Detective Marquez stepped forward, holding a portable drive

and a notebook. “This is the gate feed. I've logged the Malibu

coming in at 00:03 three days ago. No exit recorded-until last

night. Also, someone tried to delete the footage between entry

and exit times. It’s heavily redacted.”

| pried open the back of my mind, chillingly aware: this wasn’t

just intimidation. Someone had been tracking Olivia's every

movement-knowing what ther car crossed each gate.

This was personal. Dangerous. With the reach of two powerful

families in motion, secrets I'd hoped were personal were now

lethal.

Alexander's POV

The screen glowed ominously as the surveillance replayed the

footage: a black-clad figure, hat pulled low, entering the 18th-

floor corridor carrying a suitcase. He appeared confident-

unconcerned by onlookers. Seconds later, he exited, suitcase still

in tow, and vanished from view. That was the first tanyone

saw him.

| leaned closer. “Freeze it on his face,” | muttered. Gai tapped the

screen, enlarging the blurry image. His build was tall, athletic,

the face obscured by shadow, but his hat seemed familiar. Too

familiar.

At my suggestion, the security techs reviewed earlier days. The

man appeared again-leaving the floor swiftly after dropping

the food bag at one apartment. We tracked him to a sleek black

SUV parked in the basement. It pulled away nearly

immediately. No license plate visible.

“Ava.” | said, pressing record. “You heard about that pantry that

delivers to Bella's apartment? | believe we may have our

suspect.”

Ava sat beside Detective Marquez, her voice trembling at first:

“Bella Windsor ordered that tonight. Nova’s friend told us the

delivery guy insisted on coming upstairs himself.” She looked

up. “That delivery man is the smysterious guy from the

footage.”

A hush settled. Detective Marquez leaned forward. “Bella

Windsor? Chole’s sister?” He looked between Ava and me. “That

implies direct Windsor involvement in

| muted the phones and pressed my forehead into my hand.

Chapter 79

This wasn’t about rumors anymore-it was a premeditated

invasion. Chole had claimed Olivia “seduced” Ethan; but for

Bella’s involvement, someone at Windsor was already

organizing hits on Olivia's safety and location.

Detective Marquez nodded. “We'll proceed-discreetly. But we

need a warrant. And fast.”

| rose to my feet. “Then we keep moving. Ava?” She nodded.
