Daniel took Sienna's advice seriously. The next day, he returned to the police station and immediately asked his superior for permission to enlist his most trusted colleague in tracking down and investigating Vivian.Ryan was curious about why he was chosen."You're the one I trust most, and the big catch is about to surface," Daniel explained.Ryan's interest peaked immediately. "Where did this lead come from? Can we trust it?""I'm not sure," Daniel said."That's…"Eventually, it was decided that Daniel and Ryan would take charge of tracking and investigating Vivian. In the following days, they took turns working 24-hour shifts. To prevent leaks within the police force, they ensured only a select few were aware of the operation.Vivian's daily activities primarily involved filming and then returning to her hotel. Occasionally, she would attend events and accept gigs.Daniel and Ryan continued their surveillance for several days but made no progress. Daniel hadn't been home fo
Sienna's hands trembled and tears welled up in her eyes. With a shaky voice, she asked, "A-Am I really pregnant? What if this test strip is wrong?"Camille nodded and said, "It's unlikely to be wrong, but there's still a chance. If you're unsure, a blood test at the hospital can confirm it."With a smile, Gloria suggested, "Ma'am, I can go with you.""No, I'll go alone," Sienna replied. She clutched the test strip, her emotions in turmoil. She lowered her voice and added, "Let's not tell my husband just yet.""Alright."…After breakfast, Sienna caught a taxi alone to the hospital for urine and blood tests. The results confirmed she was four weeks pregnant.A wave of excitement surged through her. She couldn't wait to share the joyous news with Daniel. But her enthusiasm dimmed as she recalled Daniel's hesitations about starting a family so soon. He hadn't seemed eager about the idea of having a baby.Sienna left the hospital and waited by the roadside for a taxi. Gazing at h
Daniel swiftly took off his wedding ring and removed a ring pendant from his necklace, slipping that ring onto his finger instead.Curious, Ryan asked, "What's that?"Feeling agitated, Daniel replied, "It's my ticket onto the ship.""It's just a ring. What do you mean, a ticket?" Ryan looked bewildered. "Are you planning to board the ship?"Daniel scanned the surroundings cautiously and gave Ryan a firm instruction. "Call for backup now. We need the Coast Guard and Navy to track this ship. When I signal, board with a team for a search and arrest operation.""Who's on that ship?" Ryan was utterly baffled. He hadn't spotted Sienna or any other clues, and he couldn't fathom why Daniel was so convinced that the ship harbored something sinister.Daniel patted him on the shoulder and simply said, "A drug lord."Then, he quickly boarded the ship.From the dock, Ryan watched in astonishment as Daniel breezed through security, the ring on his finger allowing him easy passage without any
Alex found the situation intriguing. She brushed Vivian aside and approached Sienna with one hand in her pocket while the other gently traced Sienna's face.Admiring Sienna's beauty, Alex's gaze drifted down to her fair neck. The slightly loosened collar of her clothing revealed her alluring collarbone."You're so beautiful. It would be a waste to simply destroy you," Alex remarked.Sienna felt a wave of goosebumps spread across her skin. Her stomach churned with revulsion, and she recoiled inwardly from Alex's touch. Despite feeling miserable, nauseous, and fearful, Sienna maintained a composed exterior. She was determined to survive.Having already sent a distress message to Daniel, all Sienna needed to do was stall for time. She asked, "Vivian is your lover, right?"Alex nodded in response. "Yes. Why?""She's using you to get revenge on her ex. That means she hasn't moved on from him. Are you okay with being used like that? Doesn't it make you angry?" Sienna questioned.Ale
Sienna knew what Vivian was implying. It turned out that Vivian was simply another pawn in Alex's game."Was it you who ordered your men to cripple my husband and toss him into the ocean?" Sienna asked, struggling to contain her rage.With a sneer, Alex said, "I killed him and thought he was dead. I never imagined he'd survive, let alone return to his post and continue to thwart my plans."Panic washed over Sienna. It appeared that the drug lord Daniel had been pursuing was, in fact, a woman—a formidable one of that. Worry gnawed at Sienna as she pondered whether Daniel would be endangered if he came to her rescue.Alex settled back onto the couch, reached for the wine on the table, and took a sip. Through clenched teeth, she asked, "Do you know how much money Daniel has cost me over the years?"Sienna stayed silent.Meanwhile, Vivian was gripped by panic and at a loss for what to do next. She felt an overwhelming urge to flee."I've lost at least 50 billion," Alex said. Her fac
"Take Daniel's wife downstairs and lock her up. Guard her well and don't touch her. Understand? I want no traces that could lead the police to us," Alex commanded."Yes, boss," the bodyguards replied in unison.They approached Sienna and gestured politely, "Please, follow us."They carefully avoided touching her.Sienna gave Vivian one last scornful glance, believing Vivian deserved whatever was coming her way.Before, all Sienna wished for was for Daniel to come to her rescue. But now, she prayed he would stay away, steer clear of the ship, and save himself from the deadly trap. She simply hoped Daniel would stay alive and not risk looking for her alone.Sienna was locked in a room, guarded by several bodyguards stationed outside.As the minutes passed, her anxiety escalated. She felt a wave of despair as she gazed out at the sea from the window. Feeling utterly helpless, she murmured, "Daniel, please don't come. I beg you. Don't try to save me."Sienna's heart ached, throbbin
Sienna's heart pounded fiercely as if trying to escape her chest. She felt as though her insides were about to burst with fear and a sharp pain gripped her lower abdomen.The moment she saw Daniel's face, she couldn't suppress her tears any longer. She took a deep breath, overwhelmed by the urge to cry. Her tears weren't out of excitement or sorrow, but terror.Daniel gently kissed her forehead and whispered, "Darling, don't be afraid. I'm here now. Just stay quiet."Clutching her painful abdomen, Sienna slowly crouched on the floor as her legs buckled from fear.Daniel quickly steadied her. He turned the faucet back on and asked in a lowered voice, "What's wrong?""Why did you have to scare me like that?" Sienna whimpered, her eyes brimming with tears.Ridden with guilt, Daniel explained, "I wasn't sure it was you in the room. I had to stay hidden until I could be certain."Sienna frowned as she endured the waves of pain coming from her lower abdomen. She asked, "When did you a
Sienna looked up from Daniel's embrace and asked, "So, what should we do now?""Alex has left, but the ship is swarming with hitmen waiting for me to show up," Daniel said.Surprised, Sienna asked, "You know Alex?"Pointing upward at the ceiling, Daniel explained, "I've been hiding in the pipes above us and overheard everything you discussed in the cabin. They won't make a move as long as I stay out of sight.""Then, how do we get out of here?" Sienna asked."Let's wait for rescue," Daniel responded.Sienna looked at him, confusion crossing her face.Daniel pulled out his phone and flashed it before her eyes.Sienna was shocked.Smiling confidently, Daniel continued to contact Ryan, describing their situation on the ship and coordinating a rescue plan."Honey, are you going to hide in the bathroom this whole time?" Sienna asked.Daniel whispered in her ear, "The room is under surveillance, and their men could barge in at any moment. It's safer for me in here.""Okay.""You
