Chapter 466


    With no surveince cameras in his mansion, the identity of the person who ended the life of the deceased found there remained


    a mystery.


    Upon investigation, police officers discovered that the victim still had traces of Lucius’ DNA, notably in her throat. Subsequently,


    Lucius was apprehended as the prime suspect; the authorities were convinced of his significant involvement in the crime.


    The cold steel of handcuffs sped around Lucius'' wrists, triggering instant regret. He never imagined his reckless actions would


    bury him in such a grave predicament. It had been nothing more than a wild night gone too far, and now he faced the terrifying


    reality of manughter charges.


    Lucius was roughly escorted to the squad car, shouting his innocence until his voice was hoarse. He hadn''t killed anyone; why


    were they shackling him like a criminal? But his protests only earned him a swift kick from the officers as they hauled him away


    from his opulent home and into a dingy cell.


    The arrest of Lucius sent shockwaves through hispany, causing immediate and catastrophic damage. Shareholders


    dumped their stocks en masse, leading to a precipitous drop in thepany''s value.


    Overnight, Lucius, once a respected business mogul, became a vilified murderer. Hispany was sealed by the authorities the


    next day, and his stocks plummeted to worthlessness.


    The scandal erupted across the Dubai headlines, and Lucius'' fair-weather friends, once ever-present during his days of sess,


    abandoned him in his hour of need.This belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    Alone in his cell, Lucius, who went from a sharp-suited executive to a suspected killer in less than 24 hours, realized his dire


    situation. His once meticulously groomed appearance gave way to a stubbled face, and hispany, funds, and even his


    mansion were now out of his reach.


    In his destion, Lucius thought of Gabby, the one person he had pushed away but who might''ve still believed in his innocence.


    Pleading with the indifferent officers, he begged them to find Gabby, sure that if she saw his current state, her love for him would


    prompt her to seek justice.


    But the cold response that Gabby had disappeared without a trace and that she might have already left Dubai left Lucius


    weeping in regret. If only he had known, he would never have driven her away.


    Meanwhile, Gabby and her daughter, Anna, were bound and gagged in the hull of a ship, leaving the shores of Dubai far behind.


    The filthy and reeking belly of the boat heaved with the ocean waves, making them nauseous. Although their feet were tied, their


    hands were free. The kidnappers were confident that Gabby and her daughter had no chance of escaping on the vast open sea.


    As the boat rocked violently, Anna awoke in her mother''s arms and innocently asked, "Mommy, how did we end up here?"


    With a heavy heart, Gabby brushed Anna''s soft hair and whispered, "Sweetie, Mommy''s taking us somewhere where no one


    would know us."


    She knew the danger they were in, and the thought of someone harming Anna filled her with rage. She''d rather die fighting than


    let a single hair on Anna''s head be harmed.


    As tears fell onto Anna''s cheeks, she wiped them away, looking up at Gabby with confusion. "Why are you crying, Mommy?


    Where are we going? Is Daddy going to be there?"


    Gabby shook her head, sobbing harder now. How could she exin their perilous situation to her young daughter? Holding Anna


    close, she murmured, "No Daddy, just you and me. Is that okay?"


    Anna nodded understandingly. "Okay. | don''t like Daddy anymore. He yelled at you because of thatdy with too much makeup. |


    just want to be with you, Mommy."


    Touched by Anna''s words, Gabby

    Her eyes glinted with a vengeance. Lucius had scorned Gabby’s love and devotion. His abandonment had sealed his fate. This

    After three days of sailing across the open sea, Gabby and Anna were roughly yanked out of the ship''s hold and brought to a


    mysterious vige.


    "Move it!" barked the man pushing Gabby along, annoyed by the slow pace she adopted while carrying Anna.
