Chapter 60

She couldn’t believe what was happening. She was sure she hadn’t crossed anyone, yet here she was, kidnapped and stranded in the middle of the ocean. It was the dead of night, and the boat was aimlessly drifting on the sea. Back at Melfort, Hector had rallied with the authorities and set out a fleet of speedboats, racing across the ocean towards her at a breakneck pace.

At the stroke of three in the morning, they finally spotted the boat. Hector immediately ordered an increase in speed to approach the vessel Unbeknownst to those on board, an additional passenger had secretly boarded the boat at one in the morning. This man, tall and looming with a mask covering his face, had stealthily climbed aboard from a different direction, remaining completely unnoticed by the two kidnappers.

The mysterious man silently picked the lock to Natalia’s cabin with a thin piece of wire and gazed at the girl, bound, and leaning against the wall His eyes, hidden behind the mask, emitted a chilling glow.

The two kidnappers were completely unaware of the authorities closing in on them and the stranger already on board their vessel, privy to all their information They closed their eyes for a quick rest

Suddenly, one of the kidnappers shouted, “Someone’s approaching! They’ve caught up to our boat!”

The one named Johnny sprung to his feet, sprinted to the window, and saw Hector preparing to board their ship: “Wake up!” He shouted to his accomplice Someone’s followed us We need to throw the girl overboard and make a run for it Hurry!”

The other kidnapper jumped up “Damn, they’re really here, he grumbled With that, they rushed into Natalia’s cabin.

Natalia heard the door open and felt herself being lifted up. “Where are you taking me?” she demanded. Weren’t they taking her to England? Had they changed their plans? Were they going to throw her overboard?
