Routing the message through Renee could protect Baron's identity as her godfather and keep him safe; but she

was in danger herself, surrounded by threats on all sides.

She was all alone-terrified, yet still thinking everything through so carefully. How could he not love a woman like

that?

Rio, who didn’t know Baron's true identity, thought Natalie had avoided contacting Baron because she feared

bringing disaster upon him, believing he was powerless and without influence.

He couldn't help saying, “Ms. Stone really loves you, Mr. Baron.”

Baron froze for a moment.

“What did you say?”

“I said Ms. Stone really loves you, Mr. Baron.”

repeated the words.

A warm ache spread through Baron's chest. Does Natalie really lovethat much?

When noticed Baron's eyes growing faintly red, he asked again, “What does Ms. Stone mean by this?”

“The ship's layout,” Baron said at once.

He saw it immediately.

After spending so many days with her, he was familiar with every nuance of Natalie's artistic style and design

sense.

At first glance, it looked like a simple sketch of a ship; but the entire layout was clearly mapped out. Baron had

originally planned to make a direct descent onto the ship-but now he changed his mind.

“Westin, lower the ladder. I'll go in from underwater. You and Mr. descend from above.”

At those words, grew alarmed.

“Mr. Baron, you can’t! The Ocevaris is deep, and there are sharks down there. Diving in from underwater is

suicide.”

“I know what I'm doing. I'll sketch a simplified plan from her map-you’ll follow that layout. Take a few men and

cwithunderwater; | have to find my wife first, or | won't have peace of mind.”

Baron grabbed paper and pen, quickly redrawing the layout.

Once saw his version, he finally understood it.

He still had countless questions-like how Natalie had known the ship’s layout in the first place -but Baron didn’t

give him tto ask.

“Westin, protect Mr. Rio. If anything happens to him, I'll hold you responsible.”

“Yes, Mr. Baron!” Westin answered at once.

had always assumed Westin and the others were sent by the Stone family; since Westin addressed Baron as

Mr. Baron, he'd thought it was just a polite way of calling him “son-in-law.”

Baron didn’t bother to correct him. He took six men down the ladder, then plunged into the sea. For safety, each

of them carried an oxygen tank on their backs.

Meanwhile, Natalie and Beth waited in the cabin.

They had no idea how long it had been, or when the auction would begin-but they heard the thrum of helicopter

blades above, followed by a chorus of footsteps and shouts.

Beth's expression darkened.

“Looks like it’s almost time. The big shots must be arriving one after another. Ms. Stone, your people aren't here

yet? Can we really make it out? If not... maybe | should hide you first?”

Beth hadn't dared to hope at the beginning. She'd thought she and her son were doomed to rot on this ship. But

now that Natalie had promised to get them out-real or not-she wanted to believe it, to try.

The worst that could happen was death; and if it cto that, she'd rather die cleanly, taking her son with her,

than keep living this half-human, half-ghost existence while watching him

suffer.

The thought only made her more determined to escape.

Natalie was just as anxious, just as afraid.

She didn’t know if the sketch had reached Baron-or where he was now, whether he could make it in time.

But when Beth suggested hiding her, Natalie shook her head.

“No. I'm not going anywhere. I'm staying right here until my husband comes for me.”

She’d marked her exact location for Baron; if he arrived, this would be the first place he'd look.

If she hid, how would | find her? He’d panic-she knew he would.

Natalie bit her lip, stubborn and unyielding.

Beth hadn't known Natalie long, but she understood that stubbornness instinctively.

“You really trust your husband that much? Aren't you afraid of getting hurt again?”
