Her desperate kicks echoed inside the container, but this part of the abandoned dock, deep within the deserted beach, was empty and isolated. The beach was strewn with trash, and several containers stood amid the rising tide, slowly being swallowed by the seawater. 

In the distance, car headlights illuminated the road. Inside the car, Sophia held binoculars, watching the container in the darkness. A malicious smile appeared on her face. 

Aveline would drown in two hours! 

That wretched woman should have died long ago! 

She had always clung to Lucas, distracting him and preventing their divorce from going through! If it hadn’t been for her interference, Sophia and Lucas would have been married by now, and she would have become part of the Tudor family. 

Satisfied with the rising tide, Sophia smirked, set down the binoculars, and told the driver, Let’s go.” 

“Yes, Miss.” 

The water beneath her was rising steadily. 

Terror filled Aveline’s eyes. 

She struggled frantically, trying to free herself from the ropes binding her hands and feet, but her skin was chafed and bleeding, and the ropes held fast. 

Water pooled beneath her, and she panted heavily, surrounded by suffocating darkness. She strained her eyes, trying to see anything, but there was nothing but blackness, 

Was she really going to drown? Desperation and reluctance filled her eyes. 

Why? 

She had divorced Lucas and left that life behind. Why wouldn’t they let her go? What hurt the most was that Barbara, who once cared for her, was now targeting her. 

She couldn’t understand. Barbara had just forgotten about recent events. Why had she changed so drastically? If Barbara’s true nature was this cold, why had she shown such warmth when she was ill? 

Aveline’s heart ached with the pain of being betrayed by someone she had considered close.

The seawater continued to rise, spreading relentlessly. Aveline found herself lying in the icy. water, unable to break free. She closed her eyes in despair, her mind flashing through recent evente 

It seemed like her tragedies began the moment she met Lucas. If only she had never encountered him. Would her life have been smooth and trouble–free? 

If only she had never met him. 

The water covered her ears, the cold piercing her bones. 

“Bang!” 

Suddenly, there was a loud noise outside the container. Aveline’s body jolted, and she kicked the container with all her strength, trying to respond. 

“Over here!” 

Through the fog of her mind, she heard voices outside. Tears of relief welled up and fell from her eyes. 

In no time, there was a flurry of activity, and light suddenly flooded her vision. Aveline instinctively closed her eyes against the brightness. 

She heard the sound of footsteps splashing through the water, and then she was lifted up.
