Chapter 834
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 should leave quickly to avoid any suspicion.”
Sienna hummed in acknowledgment. Holding his hand, she said, “You must be careful. Be safe.”
Daniel caressed her cheek. “Don’t worry. Trust me and the police.”
Sienna nodded in response. She turned off the running water and calmly stepped out of the bathroom, settling on the edge of the bed. Her thoughts lingered on Daniel even as the door remained shut between them.
It was nightfall when someone from outside delivered a meal for Sienna. Wary of poisoning, Sienna chose to go hungry rather than risk eating the food.
In the dead of night, Sienna suddenly heard noises coming from outside. Anxious, she leaned against the window to look outside and saw a large fishing boat approaching.
She went to the bathroom to look for Daniel. Lowering her voice, she said, “Honey, it looks like some fishermen are approaching us in their boat.”
“They’re not fishermen. They’re
plainclothes coast guards,” Daniel explained. His face brightened up with a confident smile. “They’re
pretending their boat had an
accident and are coming over to ask for help.”
Sienna was astonished.
Suddenly, gunfire erupted. Startled, Sienna threw herself into Daniel’s arms.
He carried her to the shower room and yanked the shower curtain closed to shield her. He ordered, “Stay here no matter what you hear. I’ll be back.”
Anxiety overwhelmed Sienna, and she said with a tremor in her voice, “I’ll be waiting for you. Please, come back to me.”
Daniel hummed in acknowledgment before leaving the bathroom. The door clicked shut.
Tears silently began to stream down
Sienna’s face. She finally grasped why Shelly had always opposed her relationship with Daniel. Being a police officer meant living on the brink of danger and always brushing shoulders with death.
While Daniel faced these threats head-on, it was Sienna who felt the crushing weight of agony and fear which was almost unbearable. All she could do was silently pray for his safe return. The sound of gunfire outside intensified. Sienna could even hear the scuffle. The sound was so distinct that she was convinced Daniel was fighting off the bodyguards right at the door.
Another gunshot rang in her ears. Then, the sounds of the scuffle faded away. Sienna’s heart lurched painfully. She clutched the shower curtain as tears cascaded down unchecked. Deep in her heart, she fervently prayed for Daniel’s safety. She and their unborn child needed him. They had to return home together.
She hoped with every fiber of her being that he wouldn’t leave her and their child behind. He had to be safe.
