Chapter 257 Nate faltered, a wave of dizziness washing over him.

As he regained his focus, he noticed Elizabeth at the window, half her body already outside, leaning forward with the intent to jump.

“Elizabeth!” Nate exclaimed, his eyes widening in alarm as he surged forward in an attempt to catch her.

Elizabeth made a swift, determined leap, her form disappearing through the window frame.

Nate reached out frantically, his fingers brushing against her ankle a moment too late.

The ship lurched beneath him, thwarting his efforts to steady himself or pull her back.

Powerless, he watched in despair as Elizabeth’s figure slipped from his grasp and vanished into the night.

“Where the hell are you all?!” Nate roared, his voice raw as he slammed the emergency button with furious urgency.

“For fuck’s sake.

Get your asses in here now!”

Seconds later, a group of bodyguards burst into the room, staggering as the ship rocked violently.

Rain and seawater whirled in through the now-open window, drenching the interior.

The bodyguards hastened to Nate’s side, attempting to draw him away from the chaos.
