Niko stepped confidently toward Reberra.
Rebecca’s legs were unbound. As she stood on the yacht, she quickly dodged his approach and grabbed a plate on the table with her teeth to lourd it at him with all her might
Niks was unsteady from having drink alcohol, His actions were clumsy, and he couldn’t manage to block Rebecca’s attack
The plate shattered upon impact with Niko’s head, and shards scattered across the floor. A thinstream of blood began munning down his face.
Niko froze, stormed by the sudden assault. He raised a hand to his forehead and stared at the blood smeared on his palm. His flushed and intoxicated face grew redder from fury
He cursed, “You bitch! I was giving you a chance! You should take pride in the fact that I fancy you!!
Rolling his sleeves, he staggered forward and intended to force Rebecca onto the bed. But after just two steps, his head started spinning
He gripped his head. The combination of alcohol and blood loss blurted his vision, and he was on the verge of collapse at just any moment.
“5–Somebody, help!” saltway though his shout, he collapsed onto the floor with a heavy thud. Rebecca felt as if the yacht seemed to tremble under the force of
But she relaxed slightly upon seeing Niko’s unconscious body on the floor. Her chest heaved as she gasped for air, and swe
sweat poured from her forehead. Her hands were still bound. She scammed the room for something sharp or anything she could use to cut through the ropes. She had to act fast and leave. If the yacht lett the dock and left Orlay, she could never retum. That thought was more terrifying than death!
Meamshile, Christopher followed the tractor’s faint tracks. The sky had long darkened, and even when the sound of waves crashing against the shore reached his eam, he temained focused and cold.

His eyes tumed cold at the sight of it. It was the same tractor that had taken Rebecca
He moved silently and swiftly over. The couple who had sold Rebecca wasn’t in a hurry to leave. They sat on the tractor and were excitedly counting a stack of
One, two, three.. koew Niko would be genemos! He gave us five thousand dollars just for delivering one lady!” Chad exclaimed as his eyes lit up with greedy
satisfaction
Five thousand dollars in the era was a hefty sum. It’d take ordinary people years of an intensely frugal lifestyle to save the money.
Carla rubbed her hands eagerly. “That’s more than enough to get our wife agon and throw a proper wedding feast!
“But why do I feel like it’s chilly? Is it because we’re by the sea? Maybe we should leave now.”
Chad froze at Carla’s reminder. Indeed, he could serve an eerie gaze boring into his back.
As he kept the money, be looked around uneasily and found himself staring into a pair of icy eyes. His heart missed a bear,
Chad took a deep breath and attempted to bolt from the tractor, hut Christopher was faster. He threw a loop of rope around Chad’s neck while his other hand bound Garla by her limbs.
His motions were so swift that before Carla and Chad could react, they found themselves tied up with their mouths stuffed with cloth.
Custopher walked up to them. “You never learn, do you?”
They were caught attempting another kidnapping just some time ago and were detained briefly. And now, they targeted Rebecca once more.
