Ramona’s phone remained with her because she wasn’t planning to go in and

dance.

“Why is the power out?” she demanded of the on–site manager.

However, only a ‘thud‘ was heard, the sound of a heavy object hitting the ground. Immediately after, the phone was disconnected.

Ramona had made emergency arrangements. The waitstaff quickly lit the backup emergency lights and candles, and security personnel swiftly secured the venue.

Everyone assumed it was a deliberate romantic gesture from the organizers. Though they chastised the organizers for being so unexpected, the host quickly guided them, maintaining a good atmosphere, and laughter soon returned.

Only Ramona quickly scanned the attendees, noticing that Alexei and Natasha were missing.

Her face was grim. She left most of the personnel to secure the area and exited with a few bodyguards.

In the corridor, she found the party organizer who had been knocked

unconscious.

She then made her way to the deck, where she witnessed a shocking scene.

A man dressed in a suit like an ordinary guest, wearing a half–mask, held a dagger to Natasha’s throat, nervously backing away step by step. Alexei stood before them, his gaze dark.

Natasha calmly cooperated with the knife–wielder behind her, slowly retreating toward the railing where Olivia had fallen into the sea earlier.

“Don’t come any closer!”

The man’s hand was trembling. One inch closer, and it would slice Natasha’s throat. He swallowed hard, staring at Alexei in fear.

This man had just dealt with several of his men.

If he hadn’t kidnapped this woman at the ball when they were unguarded, he would be dead by now.

Alexei’s eyes were like dark, bottomless abysses, radiating an intimidating chill that left no doubt: anyone caught by him would be immediately annihilated.

“Alexei,” Natasha suddenly softly called.

She was in the most danger, but was ironically the calmest person.

Alexei had no time to object.
