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, remainingpletely 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 werepletely 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 aplice 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 Ennd? Had they changed their ns? Were they going to
throw her overboard?
“Let me go! Who ordered you to kidnap me?” Natalia shouted. She was determined to find out who was
behind this, even if it was thest thing she did
“You don’t need to know one of them replied with a regretful look on his face Today is yourst day. We
were going to take you to Ennd, but now that we’ve been followed, you have to die.”
As they dragged Natalia to the edge of the boat, the authorities had already boarded. Spotting the
kidnappers, they drew their guns Freeze!”
Johnny saw that their pursuers were the police. In a panic, he shoved Natalia overboard, drew his own
weapon, and fired a shot. The authorities dodged and returned fire as Natalia fell into the water. The
masked man, witnessing Natalia’s plunge, immediately jumped into the sea to rescue her
With her hands and feet bound, Natalia swallowed a few mouthfuls of seawater and choked, slowly
sinking down. The masked man quickly caught her. held her close, and covered her mouth with his,
providing her with much–needed oxygen.
After a while, Natalia opened her eyes and saw the masked man who was kissing her. She tried to
struggle but didn’t have the strength. However, his familiar scent made her think for a moment that he
was Magnus.
The two of them slowly floated upwards. Natalia’s strength finally gave out, and she passed out again.
The masked man held her close and swam to the surface, climbing onto the speedboat that Hector had
brought. He quickly carried her into a cabin and started to perform chestpressions Once again, he
covered her mouth with his, sucking the seawater out. It didn’t look like he was performing CPR, but
rather like he was passionately kissing her It was as if he wanted to swallow her wholeN?velDrama.Org holds this content.
Seeing Natalia slowly regain consciousness, he finally let go of her Before Natalia could open her eyes,
he bent down and gave her a lingering kiss. After stripping her out of her wet clothes and wrapping her
in a nket, he left the cabin.
Hector and the police, with a kidnapper in custody, boarded the speedboat and saw the masked man
exiting the cabin.
“Where’s Natalia? Hector immediately asked
“She’s fine, still asleep, the masked man replied in a cold voice. He was tall, even taller than Hector, his
deep eyes staring down at Hector from behind the
mask
“I’ll go check on her. Thanks for saving her Heitor said, heading towards the cabin door
The masked man blocked his path. ‘No need She’s sleeping Besides, she’s only wrapped in a nket
It’s not appropriate His voice was cool and
detached
Hector was taken aback “Who are you? Why were you on the kidnapper’s boat? Are you involved in
Natalia’s kidnapping?” He then recalled the macs previous words and reacted with shock You
undressed her?” He red at the masked man, his anger ring
Do you want to be the one to undress her? The man sneered Tm Magnus bodyguard i was ordered to
protect her.” He walked off to the control room. to steer the speedboat, leaving Hector in stunned
silence
“I’m her boyfriend I should have been the one to help her change.” Hector shouted back, but the
masked man onlyughed
“Boyfriend? Natalia is Magnusdy What kind of boyfriend are you?
Meanwhile, Natalia had woken up She looked around, realizing she was lying on a bed, and wrapped
tightly in a nket. Through the dim light, she saw à figure by the door Who was it? The one who had
jumped into the ocean to save her And the one who had kissed her in the sea. No, that was hum gr?ng
her oxygen! But then, he kissed her again after pulling her up
And he had undressed her
Who on earth was he? She saw the figure turn around, revealing a man with a wolf mask. His eyes
peered through the mask, staring straight at the door as if trying to see into her heart Natalias heart
skipped a beat Who was this man?
She simply shut her eyes and fell asleep in no time, as she seemed to be running a fever, the faint
sounds outside filtering into her hazy consciousness
Hector wanted to check on Natalia, but after being warned off by the masked man a few times, he
figured it would be inappropriate to intrude while she was undressed He couldn’t help but question the
man steering the boat “Why do you hide behind a mask, sit? Why not show your true face?”

The man remained silent as the speedboat was cutting across the ocean like an arrow in flight.
