Chapter 82
BLAIRE
Tears streamed down my face as I pleaded with Catherine, my voice trembling with desperation.
“Please, Catherine, I’m begging you. Let go of my son. Do whatever you want with me; just leave my
son alone. He’s innocent. He has nothing to do with any of this.”
My heart clenched painfully as I continued, and my words choked with emotion. “If you want to kill me,
go ahead. I’m more than willing to ept my fate. But my son-he’s still young. Please…” My voice
cracked as I watched helplessly, my son’s hands bound behind his back beside me and his innocent
eyes filled with fear and confusion.
“You still don’t get it, do you?” She sneered, her voice dripping with contempt. “None of you will ever
leave this boat alive.”
As Catherine’s menacing words echoed through the cabin of the speedboat, a heavy silence fell upon
us, broken only by the rhythmic thrum of the engines and the distant sound of waves crashing against
the hull. In that moment, time seemed to stand still, each heartbeat echoing the ominous finality of
Catherine’s threat.
Despite the fear gnawing inside me, I refused to let despair consume me. Clenching my fists, I
summoned every ounce of courage I could muster, determined to find a way out of this nightmare and
save my son from whatever fate Catherine had in store for us.
“Please, Catherine,” I implored, my voice trembling with a mixture of desperation and defiance. “I’ll do
anything you ask, but please spare my son. He’s done nothing to deserve this.” I pleaded once again. I
may sound like a broken record, but I won’t stop begging her if it’s my only way to save my son.
Catherine’s lips curled into a cruel smile, her eyes gleaming with malice as she regarded me with
disdain. “Oh, how touching,” she sneered, her tone dripping with sarcasm. “But it’s toote for
bargaining now. You should have thought about the consequences before you decided to show
yourself again with your ba st ard son.”
Her words hit me hard, but I refused to lose hope, even though things looked really tough. I believed
there was still a chance to save ze, somehow outsmart Catherine, and make it out of this nightmare
alive.
As the boat raced over the dark waters, I urgently scoured the cabin for an escape route. Yet, the
confined space left me feeling trapped and helpless. Even if we

I knew I couldn’t afford to act recklessly. Every move had to be carefully calcted if we were to have
any hope of surviving this situation.
With my mind racing, I weighed our options carefully. We needed a n and a strategy to outmaneuver
our captors and secure our freedom.
Gathering my resolve, I turned to ze, my heart heavy with the weight of the situation. “Stay calm,
sweetheart,” I whispered, my voice barely audible over the roar of the engines. “We’ll find a way out of
this.”
“Mommy, I’m scared,” he said weakly. He was catching his breath, and he’s starting to look pale.
I reached out tofort ze. I extend my arm and put my arms over his head so I can wrap him
around my arms despite my hands being tied. “It’s okay, sweetheart,” I murmured, my voice filled with
reassurance. “I’m here with you, and I won’t let anything happen to you.”
But inwardly, my heart clenched with worry. Seeing ze’s pallor and hearing the fear in his voice only
strengthened my resolve to find a way out of this perilous situation. Time was running out, and I
couldn’t afford to waste a single moment.
“We’ll get through this together,” I promised, my voice steady despite the fear gnawing at my insides.
us,
“Aww, that is so sweet.” Catherine’s tone dripped with sarcasm as she approached
her steps deliberate and menacing. With a cruel smirk, she reached out and grasped ze’s delicate
cheeks in her hand, her grip tight and intimidating. “You look exactly like your mother. But your eyes-
you have Sebastian’s eyes, which makes me despise you even more,” she said.
“I said, don’t touch my son!” I shouted, attempting to pry her hand away from ze’s face. But my
defiance was met with a vicious blow to my own cheek, sending a sharp pang of pain shooting through
my face. I tasted the metallic ta ng of blood in my mouth as I recoiled from the impact.
“You don’t get to give orders here!” she spat, her voice dripping with venomous
rage.
Despite the searing pain in my cheek and the metallic taste of blood in my mouth, I refused to let
Catherine’s assault deter me. With a surge of determination, I gathered my strength and pushed myself
back up, my focus unwavering on

“Leave him alone!” I demanded, my voice quivering with a mixture of fear and anger.
Catherine’sughter cut through the air like a knife, sending shivers down my spine. “You really are as
pathetic as they say,” she sneered, her grip on ze tightening.

I lunged forward, desperation fueling my actions as I attempted to wrestle ze free from her grasp.
But Catherine was far stronger than I had anticipated, her hold unyielding as she effortlessly fended off
my attempts to rescue my son.
“Stop struggling, ire,” she hissed, her voice low and menacing. “It’ll be much easier for everyone if
you just ept your fate.”
But I refused to surrender; my resolve was hardened by the thought of losing my son to this cruel and
heartless woman. With every ounce of strength I could muster, I fought on, determined to protect ze
at all costs.
Suddenly, the sound of approaching footsteps echoed through the cabin, drawing Catherine’s attention
away from me for a split second. It was all the distraction I needed. Gathering my strength, Iunched
myself at her once more, my hands wing desperately at her grip on ze.
In a moment of pure adrenaline-fueled determination, I managed to break free from Catherine’s grasp,
pulling ze into my arms and holding him tightly against me. But our victory was short-lived as
Catherine lunged forward, her eyes zing with fury.
With no other options left, I braced myself for the inevitable confrontation, determined to do whatever it
took to protect my son from harm. The battle for our survival had only just begun, and I knew that the
stakes had never been higher.
As Catherine’s hand closed around my throat, cutting off my air supply, I felt a surge of panic coursing
through me. Gasping for breath, I fought to break free from her grasp, my vision swimming with ck
spots as the world spun around
me.
In a desperate bid for freedom, I twisted and turned, wing at Catherine’s arm with all my might. And
then, just when it seemed like all hope was lost, I felt her grip falter, her fingers loosening their hold on
my throat.
With a final burst of energy, I pushed myself away from her, gasping for breath as I stumbled backward,
ze cradled safely in my arms. But even as I fought to

catch my breath, I knew that our ordeal was far from over.
“I’m going to kill you!” she shouted as she snat ched the gun from the waist of one of the armed men.
She pointed the gun at us.
I instinctively pulled ze closer to me, using my body to shield him from harm. Just when despair
threatened to consume me, I spotted a speedboat drawing near, its outline blurry in the distance. I
didn’t need a clear view to recognize it as Sebastian’s. I had faith in his ability to locate us, even after I
tossed my phone overboard as Catherine had instructed. I trusted that he would find a way to trace our
location.
Clutching ze tightly to my chest, I braced myself for whatever unpredictable move Catherine might
make next. My sole focus was on keeping ze safe until Sebastian arrived to rescue us. My own well-
being matters littlepared to ensuring ze’s safety.
I shut my eyes, waiting for the bullet to hit my body, as I silently prayed for my son’s safety.
“Sebastian, please save our son,” I whispered.
