Finished

Even though Stella knew he wasn’t going to hit her, the aura Victor gave off was so overwhelming that she instinctively shrank back into Abraham’s arms.

“Tessa,” she screamed through the phone. “Stella, help me! I’m gonna die!”

Tessa’s cry for help made Stella’s heart skip a beat.

At that moment, Lewis–who had been driving outside–rushed in holding a phone. “Ms. Tessa called.”

Victor took the phone. It had already disconnected.

Clearly, when Tessa couldn’t reach Victor, she’d called Stella instead.

“Tessa, where are you? You-”

Before Stella could finish, Victor snatched the phone from her hand. “Tessa.”

The second she heard his voice, Tessa burst into tears. “Waaah!”

God, she had just barely adjusted, and now-

In that moment, something unfamiliar surged through Victor’s chest.

Especially around his heart–like an invisible hand had reached in and gripped it tight.

He forced himself to keep his breathing steady. “Where are you?”

“Out at sea! The boat’s tiny, I think it’s gonna flip any second–sob–I’m gonna get eaten by a shark!”

Tessa’s voice trembled through the line.

All around her was endless ocean, not a single sign of land in sight.

The thick smell of salt in the air was suffocating.

The tiny boat rocked with every wave, looking like it might overturn at any moment.

She felt completely hopeless.

She could swim, sure, but faced with an endless, open sea like this–she was terrified.

Victor was already storming out of the Dawson estate.

As he got in the car, he spoke to her, yoice low and steady. “You won’t. Don’t be scared.”

He climbed in, grabbed his laptop from the backseat, and opened it.

“But I really am scared,” Tessa sobbed.

She had worked up so much courage when she was with Victor. All those bold words about returning to Ashen Pact to help her mother..

Now, alone on the sea, facing endless water in every direction–she was terrified.

Chapter 650 Lost at Sea

No one around. Nothing.

Just her. One tiny boat drifting in the ocean.

Now she understood what it meant to scream for help and have no one hear.

“Where’s Marie?”

Victor’s voice turned cold.

That woman–this was how she trained people?

“I haven’t seen her,” Tessa whimpered. “I woke up and I was already on the boat.”

That broke her completely.

Who wakes up from a nap and finds themselves in the middle of the ocean?

Nothing but sea.

Hearing that Marie had dumped her unconscious onto a boat, Victor’s face darkened even more.

He quickly tried to locate her signal. With the phone still connected, it should’ve been possible.

But nothing

Finished

Tessa, hearing the pings through the call, looked down at her phone–and her heart dropped. “My phone’s about to die. What do I do, what do I do?!”

Now she was really panicking.

She’d finally managed to turn the phone on. Victor hadn’t picked up. She got through to Stella, and now she couldn’t even finish explaining where she was before her phone died.

Victor hadn’t been able to pin her location yet. When he heard her battery was dying, his expression turned even colder.

“Don’t be afraid. I’ll find you.

Soon.”

“But before you find me, I won’t get eaten by a shark, right…” Her voice faltered.

All that was left on the line was her ragged breathing.

Victor frowned. “What is it?”

“It’s… it’s huge… What the hell is that?”

She’d spotted something massive swimming toward her. Her pupils constricted in terror.

“Tessa. Tessa!”

Victor’s voice sharpened. Something was heading for her–he could feel it.

Tessa’s entire body went weak. Even the hand holding her phone lost strength.

The phone slipped from her hand and hit the deck with a thud.
