Beyond the Divorce novel Chapter 678

I was amazed and felt like I was in an action movie. I turned to the composed Atlas and asked, “Is this the…way out?”

Atlas smiled mysteriously, saying, “Yes, it is. I’ve been cautious about this since I witnessed them taking you away right before my eyes. It’s like an obsession for me. I vowed to protect you and never let something like that happen again.”

He held my hand tightly and continued, “All the places I live in have secret passages leading outside. Still, I don’t use them unless necessary. Only Dylan and Nigel know about these, too. It’s a precautionary measure.”

I realized the truth and asked, “So, you used this secret passage when I visited you after the car accident?”

It was no wonder the security at Pleca Park was so tight. I could still see him at Quail Creeks even then. At that time, Celine’s people controlled Pleca Park. I even thought I was hallucinating.

“That means even those in the compound won’t know we left?” I looked at Atlas, feeling incredulous.

Atlas explained while driving, “That’s correct. I’m not concerned about people inside the compound. I’ve carefully selected them, and they’re loyal to me. I’m just guarding against external threats now.”

We were on a two-lane wide tunnel that seemed even more modern than those on the road. The lighting inside responded to the sound and had voice-controlled technology.

I grew curious and turned to look back. When the car passed, the lights turned off automatically, making me feel like we were traveling through a space-time tunnel. The road also seemed to extend endlessly.

I asked, “Where does this road lead to?”

“Our storage area,” he replied.

“You mean there might be spies outside our compound?” I cautiously asked.
