Beth knew she could never let Sam live. If Sam escaped and told Kasen, both she and her son were doomed.
But killing Sam also meant she herself was drained of strength, left without leverage. She could easily become
the next piece of meat on the chopping block-helpless, disposable. And if Beth decided to silence her too, she
wouldn't even have the chance to wait for Baron.
She couldn't die here.
Natalie quickly poured the powder into her mouth and swallowed.
It had no taste.
She had no idea how long it would take to work, only that she had to pray Beth and Sam's struggle would last
long enough to buy her time.
But fate was cruel.
Under Beth's savage blows, Sam soon went limp, her blood soaking the blanket.
Natalie's heart clenched as the warmth seeped across the floor, inching toward her clothes.
Beth slumped onto the ground, chest heaving.
The cabin rocked with the ship’s motion, the air heavy with the coppery stench of blood.
Natalie had never faced anything like this before. Her hands were ice cold, her limbs trembling. She had been
brave a moment ago, but now all she felt was fear.
Beth glanced at her-her pale face, her body collapsed on the floor like a rag doll-and asked quietly, “Where did
that awl cfrom?”
“From under the bed. | only just found it.”
Natalie didn’t hide it.

this was left behind. Lucky you. Do you still have any strength left?”
Natalie quickly shook her head.

Even though she could feel the faintest strength creeping back into her body, she dared not admit it.
Beth suddenly rose and stepped toward her.
Natalie's heart leapt into her throat.
“What are you going to do?”
Cold sweat poured down her back, soaking her clothes.
Beth saw her terror and understood-this was the first tNatalie had hurt someone.
Of course.
How could a woman with such poise and bearing have ever stained her hands with blood?
Beth felt a pang deep inside.
Once, she too had been an ordinary woman.
Her gaze flickered, complicated, before she spoke.
“Don’t worry. I'm not going to kill you. | told you, | need you to helpclose this deal so | can save my son. But
Sam—and that so-called ‘cargo’ Sharon-can’t be left here.”
Natalie frowned. “You're going to kill Sharon?”
Beth shook her head.
“Cargo can’t be killed. That would leave evidence. Natalie, you and | are tied together now. If | go down, you
won't live either. Your beauty won't save you. The boss doesn’t tolerate mistakes.”
Natalie caught the meaning in her words.
Beth wasn’t planning to kill her.
Relief loosened her chest.
“What do you wantto do?”
Beth couldn't help but admire her composure.
