On the other side.
Cloud brought Vicki to a hidden semi-basement. Vicki had her eyes covered at the time, so she had no idea where she was.
The semi-basement was never exposed to sunlight. Although it was a dim corner, Cloud kept it clean. There was no musty smell, and the fresh air system was on 24/7. The floor was covered with old European tiles, and the walls were uneven with textured silicon mud. The furniture and decorations exuded a dark atmosphere.
Vicki figured this must be where Cloud usually hid in Khebury.
Vicki still had handcuffs on her hands, but her feet were not chained. However, there was an electronic lock tied around her right ankle. If she moved beyond a five-meter radius of the room, the guards outside would immediately know.
Vicki never considered running away.
On the contrary, during this time, she had been secretly observing Cloud's arrangements. Although Cloud was cautious, she managed to pick up on some clues. For example, Athena was currently being held captive by Christian. Naturally, Cloud had to find a way to rescue Athena; otherwise, he wouldn't be able to proceed with the next mission assigned by Rohomes. Additionally, it seemed that something had gone wrong on Rohomes' side. So Cloud's plan had to be expedited.
After a while, Cloud walked in carrying a plate. It contained today's lunch.
He placed it in front of Vicki and sat down in front of her.
"Vicki, Felix didn't continue looking for you. You said a few hurtful words to him, and he easily gave up on you," Cloud said.
Vicki scoffed. She wouldn't easily believe Cloud's nonsense.
She glanced at the plate Cloud brought, and although it contained dishes she used to enjoy, she found no appetite for them. In fact, they made her nauseous and disgusted. Her taste had changed long ago, and she preferred the Western cuisine Felix would take her to. Steak paired with red wine, French escargots with watercress, Atlantic salmon pasta with the aroma of sage. Times had changed, and she was no longer the same person she used to be.
She picked up the chopsticks and took a few bites to fill herself up. Maintaining her strength was crucial now, even if she felt uncomfortable.
After finishing lunch, she suppressed the discomfort in her stomach and pushed the plate forward.
She asked, "Cloud, how long do you plan to imprison me?"
Cloud looked at Vicki, his eyes darkened. Since he arrived here, she hadn't called him Rayan anymore. Abandoning their previous address was equivalent to abandoning their past relationship. She had indeed done it.
His heart ached as if he had taken a few punches, leaving him breathless.
"I said I'll take you away once I finish my business. I will get enough money to buy a small island in the Caribbean. We can start anew there," Cloud said expressionlessly. He took out a piece of paper and handed it to Vicki.
A small island in the Caribbean? Vicki sneered inwardly.
Once involved with OGW, she could never escape. Eternal peace was impossible to achieve. Even though Charity was dead, Athena remained. Even without Athena, there would be others. In any case, the Rohomes royal family would never give up control over OGW. Annihilating them all was the only way out.
"What do you want me to do?" Vicki pointed to the paper in front of her and asked.

The readers' comments on the novel: Wrong marriage and sweet love (Joyce and Luther)
If this is the ending of this story the story then I wish I hadn’t started reading it doesn’t even end right has not closure. To bad these writers don’t put much into their endings....
When will the new chapters come I can't wait any longer...
Very strange ending, is Joyce pregnant again or does she still have remnants of the devil with her. Christian should have apologized and made up with Luther and Felix. Too much violence and twists and turns, once settled, everyone should be happy and healthy....
Omg… can’t you just let Luther and Joyce live in peace with their children….another controversy doesn’t add to the story....
Not again, ugh … just get rid of this disgusting despicable woman...
Hopefully the underground bio lab East523will be found soon and Luther will make a full recovery, Lily will be reunited with the family and all will be good. Otherwise this will be a very disappointing story....
Please don’t make more trouble for Joyce and Luther, they need to have their children and be happy...
Looking forward to Joyce shooting Otis where it will hurt him the most and end his disgusting ways with women. He’s a pig, deserves to lose his “unit”....
Just tell him you’re the one that saved him , not the evil woman and find your beautiful love story together. Quit being a wet blanket, too smart for that....
I hate it when the hero and heroine are made out to be fools for the evil people that wish to steal their lives and live. Hopefully Charlotte is found out quickly and removed. Why should a villain with an illegitimate child reap all the rewards. Terrible....
