My eyelids grew heavier and heavier.
After they dumped me on the boat, they completely forgot about me while trying to entertain Nadya.
I lay on the deck like a dying, rotting fish, barely breathing.
People passing by covered their noses and walked around me.
I gathered what little strength I had and grabbed a cleaner as she passed.
“Hey, please… help me…”
She jumped, realizing I was human.
Panicking, she pulled out her phone and dialed for an ambulance.
I thought I was finally saved.
But just then, the boat started moving! The ambulance couldn’t reach me
now.
The cleaner grew frantic, her voice trembling.
“Girl, who did this to you? My God, what a nightmare!
“Mr. Swinton rented this yacht to make his sister happy. Now that we’re at sea, we won’t be back for a month!”
I gripped her hand tightly, tears streaming down my face, silently begging for help.
She couldn’t bear to look at my horrifying wounds. She just patted my

“Girl, I’ll go talk to Mr. Swinton. Maybe, for his sister’s sake, he’ll let the boat dock early.”
She rushed off to plead for me.
The entertainment area was just one deck above. Their loud laughter pounded in my head.
Soon, the cleaner found Ken.
She even dropped to her knees.
“Mr. Swinton, there’s a girl who’s badly hurt. She won’t last much longer. Please, let the boat dock and get her to a hospital!”
Ken frowned, confused.
“Hurt? Who?”
The cleaner shook her head, speaking anxiously.
“I don’t know who she is, but she’s in bad shape! Please, save her, Mr.
Swinton!”
Ken nodded, but instead of docking, he sent over his personal doctor.
There was finally hope–but my heart felt like it was being crushed by invisible hands, the pain unbearable.
Faced with his real sister, he refused to show mercy. But for a stranger, he was willing to help.
He really did abandon me–for Nadya.
The private doctor recognized me the moment he saw my face, nearly

“Brietta! What happened to you?!”
My dry, cracked lips couldn’t form any words.

Panicking, he rummaged through his supplies, only to realize nothing he brought could help me.
In a frenzy, he quickly called Ken.
“Mr. Swinton! The injured girl is your sister! I can’t treat her here! We need to dock immediately and get her to a hospital!”
Ken’s voice shook with urgency.
“I was only away from Nadya for a moment–how did she get hurt?!”
He immediately ordered the captain to dock.
But then the doctor clarified.
“Not Nadya–it’s Brietta!”
The moment he heard my name, he let out a breath of relief. His voice turned cold.
“She got you to call me? Trying to trick me into coming to her, huh? You’re one of her people now? I don’t want liars around me. You’re fired!”
He hung up viciously.
The doctor was left standing there, helpless, out of a job–and he no longer cared for me.
Only the kind–hearted cleaner stayed by my side, trying to give me hope.
