Tears streaming, she shook her head desperately. “You can’t treat me like this! Simon, I really…
WOO…”
Two filthy socks were jammed firmly into her mouth.
The stench made her eyes roll white; strength seemed to drain from her at once. If Jackson’s men hadn’t gripped her shoulders tight, she might have convulsed to the ground.
Jackson had already opened her recent call log. The top entry was a call from a man named Tigre. He tapped the name with a finger, and his arrogant features darkened. Seeing Elsa’s lips trembling with panic, he guessed Tigre was likely the kidnapper ringleader.
He wasted no time and dialed.
“Miss, what would you have me do?”
Tigre picked up quickly. As soon as the call connected, the roar of waves came through the line. Jackson’s suspicion hardened. Tigre and his men were probably already on a boat trying to flee -yet they had driven a pregnant woman off the cliff into the sea, leaving her nearly certain to die.

Tigre had expected to rent a room in Harbortown. But who wanted a rented room when they could take a villa? He thought keeping a little of Elsa’s favor for himself was fine. After a moment’s thought he replied respectfully, “Then I’ll thank you on behalf of Lao Mao and the others.”
The bodyguard then told Tigre the villa’s location and its gate code. Of course the villa wasn’t Simon’s gift to Elsa–it belonged to Jackson. Jackson and Ashton had quietly stationed men
