The bodyguard then asked, "Ms. Starr, we've already moved her onboard. Where are you? We'll come pick you up.""Come to Erinnyes' back door. I'll meet you there," Yasmin replied. Tyler was keeping a close eye on her and was responsible for driving her to and from work. So, he would definitely notice if she left through the front door. Yasmin then changed into a different outfit and put on a black mask before climbing out the backdoor window. Fortunately, their studio was only on the third floor, so it wasn't too difficult to climb down. Yasmin landed on her sneakers and felt a jab of pain in her lower abdomen. She hadn't fully recovered from her miscarriage yet.Nevertheless, Yasmin ignored the pain, and holding her stomach, she quickly climbed into Ivan's bodyguard's car.Ivan had sent her four burly men. After picking her up, the bodyguards brought her onto a yacht where Elise had been tied up and thrown onto the deck like a sack of potatoes. Yasmin kept her eyes fixed
Yet, the smile never left Elise's face.Yasmin grabbed Elise by the collar and demanded, "What did you say to my father that day? Tell me!""I won't." Elise grinned despite her bleeding lips. "I'll just kill you then!" Hatred consumed Yasmin, and something inside her snapped.Yasmin then dragged Elise over to the railing and shoved her head down, intending to kill her. She said, "Are you going to confess or not?"Elise's eyes widened in fear, and she stammered, "Y-Yasmin Starr, you'll go to prison if you kill me. Your life will be ruined.""Are you not going to talk?" Yasmin's eyes were red with rage as she got ready to throw Elise overboard. Elise's knees became weak, and she screamed, "Alright, I'll tell you! Let me go!"Yasmin yanked Elise back and glared at her. "Tell me!"Elise was terrified. But just as she was about to speak, a sharp voice cried out, "Elise!"Immediately, Yasmin spun around and saw a young man and a group of policemen rushing over. The man was
Elise fell into the ocean with a splash. Her face paled in fear, but it was too late as the waves blanketed her and pulled her body under. Soon, she completely disappeared from sight.As Elise fell, Carlos cried out in a heart-wrenching voice, "Elise!"Then, he immediately pulled the trigger of the gun he was holding.The bullet hit Yasmin in the arm, and her face turned white from the pain. Nevertheless, she quietly stepped back and awaited judgment. "Elise!" Carlos ran over to the railing and desperately searched for Elise. However, she had already been swept away by the waves and was nowhere to be seen."Find her!" Carlos ordered.With bloodshot eyes, he grabbed Yasmin by the collar and snarled, "Why did you push her?""She owed me that." Yasmin's demeanor was calm. She had already considered the consequences of killing Elise. And since she couldn't get revenge, she might as well just kill Elise. After all, it was an eye for an eye. "How could you be so evil?" Ca
Blake's expression was stern as he came over to wrap his arms around Yasmin. "Aren't you scared at all? What if you do end up going to jail? Are you sure that your weak body can handle that place?""I can just die then." Yasmin chuckled, seeming to have gone numb from her emotions. Shocked, Blake gently kissed her hair. "Don't be silly, there's no way I'd let you die. You should get some rest. I'll take care of the rest."Then, he stood up to leave.However, Yasmin stopped him. "Blake."Blake turned around and found Yasmin quietly and calmly staring at him. "Don't help me anymore."Blake was about to reply when Yasmin added, "I stopped needing your help the day you became her accomplice. So, no matter what you do, I won't be grateful. "Both of you killed my father, and I'll never forgive you for that," Yasmin spoke without an ounce of emotion. Upon hearing her words, Blake's heart sank. He hurriedly walked back to hug Yasmin. "You're wrong. It's not what you think it is."
Blake walked over to the bed and gazed at Yasmin's sleeping face. Her distraught expression was full of sorrow and disappointment toward the world. Suddenly, Blake felt an inexplicable sense of anxiety as he looked at Yasmin. Then, he knelt down and gently caressed her cheek. "Can we stop this?"Yasmin ignored him.She was actually still awake, but she didn't want to talk to him. All she wanted to do now was to give him the cold shoulder.…Throughout the next few days, Yasmin ate her meals and medication while she waited for news of Elise's death. However, things didn't go as planned. Two days later, Elise was found. Apparently, she had been adrift for three days and was barely breathing when she was found.Not long after Carlos had brought Elise to the hospital, Blake rushed over as well.Blake felt a weight lift off his shoulders when he heard that Elise was still alive. For the past few days, he had been afraid that Yasmin would end up going to jail if Elise had die
Blake pursed his lips. "She won't promise you that.""Are you saying that you want me to let her roam free despite knowing that she could hurt me at any time?" Elise resentfully asked. "Does my life mean nothing to you? She failed to kill me, yet she wants me to beg for her forgiveness.""Even if I forgive her, I can't ask her to promise to not hurt me in the future. If that's the case, how will I be safe from now on?"Blake remained silent for a moment before replying, "I'll protect you if she hurts you."…Yasmin had already seen on the news that Elise had been rescued.Elise's rescue had made headlines after coming back alive despite being adrift at sea for three days.Yasmin didn't know how to describe what she was feeling, but she knew that she wasn't pleased with the outcome.When Blake returned, Yasmin was sitting by the window with her eyes devoid of emotions.Blake could tell that she was in a bad mood. He took off his jacket and sat next to her. Then, he softly ask
Blake asked, "Let's go to the hospital tomorrow to apologize, alright? We can end things that way.""We'll talk about this tomorrow." Yasmin's voice was cold. Blake didn't push her. He just patted her head and let her rest.The next day, Yasmin began dressing herself right after she woke up. She applied some makeup to her haggard face and put on a stylish dress before making her way downstairs.Tyler and two bodyguards were already waiting for her at the foot of the stairs.Yasmin acted as though they were invisible as she walked past them.Tyler immediately followed and opened the car door for her. "Madam, Mr. Ford instructed us to follow you from now on."Follow her?Was he trying to protect her or keep an eye on her?Did he have three men tagging behind her because he was afraid she might hurt Elise again?A faint smile appeared on Yasmin's face as she asked Tyler, "Did Blake tell you to watch me?""He's just worried about your safety, Madam," Tyler explained.Yasmin
Blake paled as terror filled him, but he didn't dare agitate her. Patiently, he coaxed, "You don't have to apologize if you don't want to. Come down so we can talk things out properly, please?""I don't want to." Yasmin stared at him with chilling eyes. "I will never listen to you again, Blake Ford. I won't let you control me anymore, and I don't want to owe you any more favors."Although her tone was calm, Blake could guess the underlying meaning behind her words. His chest tightened, and he said with a rough tone, "You don't owe me anything. I just don't want anything to happen to you.""But what if I don't care about what you want?""What do you mean?" Puzzled, Blake was going to ask for explanations when several police officers walked into the mansion."Who called the police?" the policemen asked as they approached."I did," replied Yasmin from atop the tree.Blake didn't understand why she had called the police and was about to ask her when he heard her announce, "I'm s
