The factory wasn’t large, and after winding through a few dim hallways, Dawn finally caught sight of Mason standing near the corner, half–hidden by the shadows.

His tone was tense. “We were right. Marshall’s men are going after the boy. They just headed toward the dorms. Ms. Dawn, should we stop them?”

Dawn’s fingers tightened around her palm until her knuckles ached. Her voice came out rough. “Follow them. Keep quiet.”

She walked forward a few steps, then turned slightly. “Is Marshall here?”

Mason shook his head. “No.”

A chill crept through her chest. Something about this felt wrong in a way she couldn’t shake.

If Marshall was behind it, there was no telling what he might do. His kind of deceit ran deep.

Still, she didn’t have the luxury to hesitate. It was already too late to turn back.

She drew in a steady breath and said, “Call the police.”

Mason froze for a brief moment, then pulled out his phone and started dialing the local authorities.

The night hung heavy and silent, the kind of quiet that made every sound echo. Insects whispered in the dark, and small creatures darted between the weeds. The air felt too still, too expectant.

The dorm building stood at the far edge of the factory lot, dark and cold.

They didn’t pass a single person along the way.

The structure loomed before them, swallowed by shadows. Not a single window was lit. It looked dead, as if every soul inside had drifted into an endless sleep.

Dawn scanned the area, her voice low and wary. “Where are they? Did they climb through the window?”

No one answered.

She turned fast. Mason’s face was barely visible in the darkness, and there was something unsettling about the faint smile on his lips.

“They didn’t have to climb in,” he said slowly. “They’ve been waiting here. For you, Ms. Dawn.”

“You”

The word barely formed before a sharp pain struck behind her eyes. The world tilted, and everything went black.

Her body collapsed like a marionette with its strings cut.

Marshall emerged from the shadows, his smile gleaming under the dim light. “Ms. Dawn,” he murmured with a tone of mock sympathy. “I told you to behave. You really thought you could turn this around on me?”

Her head hung forward, motionless. She was out cold.

Marshall’s grin deepened, a cold gleam flashing across his eyes as he turned to Mason.

“Well done. You’ve outperformed every expectation. The chairman was right about you.”

Mason’s face stayed blank. “I trust you will keep your word?”

“Of course,” Marshall said, his tone smooth as silk. “Thirty million Meriaxian dollars. Transferred by morning. No trace.”

His expression hardened in an instant.

“Get her back to her room.”

Dawn had been right all along. He had planned to silence the boy tonight. But once she began to suspect him, he had to improvise.

And the surest way to remove her from the equation?

It was through the one man she believed would never betray her.

Mason was the perfect weapon.

When Marshall first arrived at the factory, he wasted no time pulling Mason aside. His tone was smooth, his words like bait. “Mr. Cook, let’s make this simple. Help me when I need it, and I’ll wire you 30 million Meriaxian dollars.”

He leaned in, his smirk confident. “You’re sharp, no doubt about it. But at the end of the day, you work for money. What do the Wests ever give you? Loyalty doesn’t pay the bills. You should cash in while you still can.”

Mason’s face barely moved, but something in his silence made Marshall’s grin widen. “Relax,” he said smoothly. “No one will ever know. And even if Ms. Dawn finds out, my side of the table. is always open for you.”

Mason’s tone was quiet, but firm. “What do you plan to do with Ms. Dawn?”

Marshall laughed, the sound dripping with mockery. “Didn’t see that coming. Mr. Cook, are you seriously catching feelings? Don’t tell me you’ve actually slept with her.”

Mason’s brow twitched, but he stayed silent.

“Easy, I’m joking,” Marshall said, raising an eyebrow. “Truth is, the chairman already plans to marry her to me. He’s old and heirless. No son, so the daughter fills the gap. I’m the ideal pick.”

A sleazy smile curved his lips as he rubbed his hands together. The thought of Dawn’s body maade him drool. “And tonight, I’ll make sure she knows it. Once that’s done, both our problems disappear.”

When Dawn regained consciousness, she found herself in a small, unfamiliar room. The furnishings were basic, the air heavy and stale. It looked like one of the dorm rooms.

Outside the window, the night was still dark.

The chorus of crickets droned endlessly, blending into the silence.

It hadn’t been too long since she was knocked out.

She rubbed her aching neck and sat up, trying to steady her breathing. Before she could think, the door swung open.

Marshall walked in, his white silk shirt hanging loose and half–unbuttoned. The fabric clung to his chest, exposing clumps of blond chest hair that made her stomach twist.

For some reason, her mind flashed to an absurd image.

If Ethan ever wore that same shirt, it would never look this revolting.

Her gaze hardened as she glared at the man approaching her.

“Marshall, do you even realize what you’re doing?”

Marshall laughed, his teeth gleaming. “Oh, I know exactly what I’m doing, Ms. Dawn.”

He tilted his head, the smirk never leaving his lips. “What you don’t know is that your father already promised you to me. You know how your country loves its old–fashioned deals. So

you’re mine now. I’m only claiming what’s rightfully mine.”

As he spoke, his fingers slid down the line of buttons, undoing them one after another.
