Natalie’s heart pounded so hard it felt like it might burst from her chest.

The most dangerous thing she had ever faced before was Sharon framing her, almost leaving her to burn alive in the fire. She thought nothing could ever be more terrifying than that. Yet now, this was worse. Much worse.
Still, if she wanted to live, she had no choice but to do exactly as Beth instructed. At least until Baron came for her, she had to conserve her strength. Read full story at.net
Beth’s cries and the splash of heavy bodies hitting the water quickly drew Kasen and his men.
“What happened?”
Beth stood there, pale, her blood running freely down her arm.
“Kasen… Sam ran off with her cargo. They jumped into the sea.”
“What did you say?”
Kasen’s fury erupted. “Men! Check her messages! Did Sam contact anyone before this?”
His subordinates moved fast. It didn’t take long to uncover the message sent to Jensen.
Kasen’s jaw tightened as he stared at the words on the phone, grinding his teeth until they cracked.
“Good. Very good. That bitch. After everything I gave her, she still tried to run! Spread the order. Find her and kill her!”
His men scattered to obey.
Beth swayed where she stood, her strength nearly gone.
“Kasen, I’m badly hurt. I can’t escort my cargo to the auction. I’ll need you to take her in my place. Whatever she sells for, I’ll give you sixty percent of my cut. Just… just please help me

Tears streamed down her face, her voice breaking.
Kasen had long harbored feelings for Beth. Seeing her like this, clever enough to show submission, he softened instantly.

“Don’t worry. No matter what your cargo carns, I won’t take a share. Save it for your son’s treatment. But… from now on, you’ll be my woman. Will you?”
“I promise,” Beth whispered, defeated.
Kasen wasted no time summoning a doctor to tend her wound, then ordered guards to lock down Natalie’s cabin.
Far away, Jensen–desperate for news of Natalic–received the very same message.
His eyes narrowed as he read, then he shot to his feet.
The high seas? Sharon was being sold at an auction on the high seas?
Then Natalie must be there too.
“Hansel! Find out if there’s an auction happening offshore.”
Hansel hurried off and returned quickly.
“Mr. Jensen, yes. There is indeed an auction at sea. But only the world’s most powerful figures attend. It’s essentially a black market. Without an invitation, no one can get in.”
“Then get one! No matter what it takes, I must be there. Now!”
Jensen’s chest tightened. If the message was real, then whoever had taken Sharon and Natalie wasn’t ordinary.
His mind flashed to Murica’s Godfather.
Was it him? Only someone of that level could spirit away both Sharon and Natalie without a
trace.
But why?
If it truly was the Godfather, even the entire Luke family would be powerless.
Yet the thought of doing nothing, of leaving Natalie in danger–Jensen couldn’t stomach it. While Hansel scrambled to find an invitation, word of the auction reached Baron as well.
Shauna, his trusted right hand, stepped into his office with a sealed envelope.
“Mr. Baron, an invitation to the offshore auction just arrived. I don’t know who arranged for it, but many of the world’s most prominent figures will be there. Should we attend?”

Normally, Baron would never consider it. He had no interest in expanding his territory, and he guarded his identity as Godfather fiercely.
Since having children, he had become even more cautious. And after reconnecting with Natalie, he had sworn to spend his life with her. He avoided anything that might expose him, anything that could threaten her.
But this time was different.
All signs pointed to Natalie being on that ship.
He had just learned the truth: Natalie might be held at the very auction Shauna was speaking of.
His eyes sharpened. “We’re going. We must. But this time, you’ll attend in my stead.”
Shauna had only asked out of routine. Hearing his answer, she froze.
“Mr. Baron… is there something at this auction you’re after?”
