    Chase caressed Sasha’s cheek with hisrge hand while he kept talking. His handsome face


    leaned in closer. His captivating eyes shimmered with emotion, and a teasing smile yed at the


    corners of his mouth.

    She quickly ced her hand over Chase’s lips. “Back off, you jerk! Men, you are all the same, You


    think you can take advantage of me? In your dreams!”


    Chase raised an eyebrow at her. “Did you really think my idea ofpensation was a kiss?”


    Sasha stammered, “Isn’t it?”


    Chase chuckled softly, “I was actually hoping you’d whip up a meal for me aspensation, but if


    you prefer this approach, I suppose I could oblige.” Then, he leaned in to attempt a kiss.


    Sasha, frightened, quickly wriggled out of his embrace. Blushing, she retorted, “In your dreams! I’ll


    go check the kitchen to see what I can rustle up.” She turned and left the room.


    Once the door closed behind her, Chase touched his lips with a smile, murmuring, “Silly girl, that’s


    exactly the kind ofpensation I was looking for.”


    Meanwhile, ra felt like she had been trapped in a lengthy dream. In it, someone told her that she


    was not the daughter of Casey, but rather the daughter of the Campbell family.


    She had been beaten, almost perished in a fire. All she could think about was survival, protecting


    her child, and escaping with it.


    At a critical moment, she had grabbed a wine bottle, smashed it over Heidi’s head, and then tied her


    to a post with a rope. When the mes nearly engulfed her, she clung to a lifebuoy and leaped into


    the ocean.


    She couldn’t recall how long she drifted, through what seemed like endless sunrises and sunsets,


    until she finally passed out.


    ra’s eyes flew open, and instead of the raging sea, she found herself in a shabby cabin filled with


    men’s belongings. It was only then that she fully awakened, realizing she hadn’t died, and someone


    had rescued her.


    Her first instinct was to protect her belly. She feared for her child after her violent encounter with


    Heidi. At that moment, she heard several men’s voices outside the door.


    “Hey, boss, reckon that chick should be waking up by now, huh?”


    “Who cares if she’s awake or not. Let’s have our fun. That’s what counts.”


    “Yeah, she’s a looker alright. Bet she’ll be a real treat.”


    As they spoke, they pushed open the door and entered the room. ra quickly shut her eyes,


    terrified. In her mind, she swiftly organized her thoughts.


    Someone had indeed saved her, but they were no saints either. She needed to find a way to escape


    or get a phone to call Ian for help.


    The leader, a man with a cigarette dangling from his lips and tattoos covering his arms, came to


    ra’s bedside. He took a deep drag from his cigarette and slowly exhaled the smoke near ra’s


    face. Unable to bear the smell of tobo, ra burst into a coughing fit.


    Seeing through her act, the man grabbed her chin tightly and sneered, “ying dead, little girl? You


    do realize that without me, you’d be shark food by now.”


    She struggled to breathe, her face turning red with strain. “Sir, I know you saved me, and I can pay


    you whatever you want. Just let me go home.”


    The tattooed man leered at her. “I don’t need your money, sweetheart. I’m short on women,


    especially ones as pretty and well-shaped as you.”
