The way he looked at us, made me shiver. His words were like stabbings in my heart, I stood up immediatel

"Thank you Liang Huan."

followed by my father,

We bowed, and we left the room hurriedly. When we got into the car, I put the directions into the GPS with shaking hands. I tried to be as quick as possible.

"Let me do that."

"No, I'm fine!" I had to make sure the tone I used to answer my father was not offensive. I was near to freak out, cry out, scream or whatever, just wanted to get rid of the fear of the state we would replace my brother in.

I turned the engine on, then I followed the GPS. We went for a long distance, and in about a half an hour, we were no longer in the city. This place was more like a deserted place. We went on dirty, neglected roads and we have not seen a single person.

We went for a while when finally I could see something in the soil. My heart pounded faster as we got closer and I was able to see clearer. It was a body and, unfortunately; it looked exactly like Gideon. The body laid there half naked. It was bloodstained, especially around his neck. He laid there. motionless.

My stomach hurt, I felt nauseous when I left the car. I do not know the time when I was crying last time, but now tears fell from my eyes unstoppably while I ran to him. When I got to my knees and I turned him on his back, I gasped for air while I tried to keep myself from collapsing. That could not be the end, I thought. Gideon could not die like that. He is my little brother. He cannot leave me like that, not yet, and not here. I thought.

As soon as I hung up, I turned the engine on. Alexandra fastened her seatbelt. She knew what was coming next. He said the ship departed in two hours; the port was about one hour and forty minutes from here. I had to be fast to get there in time.

"Do you want me to drive?" she asked me nervously. I knew what she had in her mind.

"I'm okay darling. Don't worry, I know you are sitting next to me."

She nodded, and as soon as I put the directions into the GPS and it showed the way for me, I drove away as fast as I could.

The way seemed to be the longest journey that I ever had. I just got h

I just got her back. I could not lose her.

I could easily say that I would have awaited her to arrive in the US, and I could get her back then, but even if she was strong physically and mentally too, these kinds of container journeys take so long. She would be locked in there, sitting in the dark, without food and drink, with no facilities at all. One or two usually die on the way as their body is damaged already by hunger or various torments.

Finally, when we saw the sign, my heart started pounding faster. We were late; I checked the time, and we only had ten minutes before departing, and that ten minutes passed quickly. The staff shouted at me, I could not get into the part by a vehicle. I did not want to involve the police, so I stopped the car. Alexandra knew well what came next. We both held our guns, and we got out.

The staff immediately moved backwards, leaving space for us. They lifted their hands up and asked us to leave them out of it. Normally, I would have smiled. They knew why we were there. They certainly had their extra money from closing their eyes when they wanted to deliver innocent girls who became adults.

I held one of them, pointing my gun at him...

"Which dock, the Lagoon Sealing Ltd's ship named Golden Swan, is departing from?

He told me something in his language,

"Don't joke with me. I have no problem shooting you down. Speak!" I pulled the trigger, and the bullet ended up on the ground next to him. He jumped, and he looked at me with fear, like he held his tears back, but he spoke without hesitation. Number tix, but you a are late. It's departing

"Tell them to wall." I commanded him.

He has got his radio in his hand. His hands were shaking as he lifted it up to his mouth. He said something in their language and he looked at me. "They will wait."

I let him go, and as soon as he fell to the ground, he started crying with his hand clasped together, probably thanking God in his language for staying alive.

I held Alexandra's hand, and we ran as fast as we could. Unfortunately, dock six was on the other side of the

port

and the port was vast

First in my life, I was thankful to myself for not quitting on training in the gym. When we were closer, we saw a familiar figure. He shouted to the staff. He wanted to replace out what happened, why the ship had been delayed.

They told him that was probably a technical problem, and they were sure it would leave soon, but he pointed a knife at them. The guy pleaded for him not to harm him and tried to make him understand that was not his fault. He did not even notice we got behind him. I lifted my gun up and held it, pressing it against his head, and I needed to hold myself back from shooting a bullet into it. My hands were shaking. I was fuming.

When he turned around, his face told me everything. There was the man who made me live as hell for so many years. Who stole my love, with my daughter in her belly, who wanted to make me kill her, who ruined my daughter's childhood, who made her suffer both mentally and physically since she was little, who wanted to kill her innocently. I was going to kill him. There was no other way out of it for him, but just to shoot a bullet in his head for those many years of suffering and pain would have been too easy. He did not deserve that.

"Where is Alive?" 1 shouted at him. My voice were trembling.

He just shook his head.
