Chapter 1734


    Vicky felt a wave of dizziness hitting her. She felt disoriented when she opened her eyes.


    ‘Where am I? Wasn’t I giving Miranda some medicine andforting her?’ she wondered.


    Suddenly, everything came rushing back to her, and she realized what happened.


    Miranda had kidnapped her.


    Miranda had been working with her for a while, and she was highly capable, so Vicky had not expected


    her to be a spy


    nted to abduct her.


    To maintain such a patient cover for such a long time, the person behind this must have nned this


    meticulously.


    It seemed to be nighttime as the surroundings were pitch ck, making it impossible to see clearly.


    Vicky could hear the sound of flowing water and felt the ground rocking slightly.


    She quickly deduced she was on a boat.


    The creaking of a door suddenly broke the silence, followed by dim lights flickering to life.


    A tall figure emerged from the darkness. In the shifting shadows, the man’s handsome face became


    increasingly distinct.


    “Lincoln Hart,” Vicky said upon seeing the man, showing no surprise.


    Only a handful of people had motives to kidnap her, and even fewer could sessfully abduct her and


    bring her here.


    Lincoln looked at her and smiled faintly. “You’re four months pregnant by now, right?”


    At the mention of the child, Vicky immediately became wary and stared at him. “What do you want?”


    “Don’t worry. My grudges with Tyler have nothing to do with you,” Lincoln assured her. “As long as you


    cooperate, I won’t


    harm you or your child.”


    Vicky remained on edge. “What do you intend to do?”


    “If Tyler manages to find you, we’ll settle our scores,” Lincoln replied. “But if he doesn’t find you…” His


    gaze settled on her,


    and he revealed a gentle smile. “I know you don’t want to be with him. In that case, I’ll take you away,


    and we can raise


    this child together.”


    Vicky nced around. “Where am I now?”


    “We’re on a boat,” Lincoln said calmly. “To avoid Tyler discovering us too soon, we took the water


    route.”


    Even though Vicky had guessed she was on a boat, hearing Lincoln’s confirmation sent a shiver down


    her spine.


    If they were in the water, she could not escape at all.


    Lincoln untied the ropes that bound Vicky, and his deep gaze locked onto her. “I won’t make things


    difficult for you if you


    work with me, Vicky. But, if you try anything funny…” His smile remained benign, his voice low and


    maic. “Don’t me


    me for not showing mercy.”


    Vicky’s blood ran cold.


    Lincoln had always excelled at disguising his ruthlessness behind a harmless exterior, but Vicky had no


    doubt he would


    follow through on his words.


    Seeing that she did not disy any extreme resistance, Lincoln nodded in satisfaction. “This room is


    specifically prepared

    for you. When it’s time to eat, I’ll have someone deliver your meals. If you need anything, just tell the


    guards outside.”
