But later, her mother called, saying her father was seriously ill and in critical condition, begging her to come home just once to help.She gave in out of guilt and concern, only to be locked in the house, and later tied up and sent straight to the Smith family.They treated her like livestock waiting to be slaughtered, never once considering her wishes.In that moment, all hope drained from her."If they could do this to me once, they’d do it again and again. As long as I’m still their daughter, I’ll never be free. So even if it’s just to protect myself, I have to ask for your help."She still had her aunt to care for. She couldn’t waste any more time on the Hung family."Alright, leave it to me!" Xavier’s brows finally relaxed, and his mood visibly lightened. "After this, come back to Riverdale with me.""No." Coco turned him down without hesitation. "After everything that’s happened, I’ve made up my mind. I’m staying to take care of my aunt and to help my hometown grow."Leaving

Coco blinked again, making sure the person in front of her wasn’t a hallucination. As the events of the day came flooding back, her throat felt dry, and she gave a small nod.Xavier immediately helped her sit up carefully, placing a pillow behind her so she could lean against the headboard, then poured a glass of warm water and brought it to her lips.Coco took the cup and drank several sips. The dryness in her throat eased a little, though her voice was still hoarse. "Thank you... I owe you both. Is Miss Rivers not here?"Xavier had been pleased to hear the first part, but by the end, he felt a strange pang. "She went back first—there’s still fieldwork to handle. But you... how are you feeling? Dizzy? Any discomfort?"His eyes and tone were filled with concern.Coco was uneasy with his kindness. "I’m fine."She had never thought she’d find redemption after what happened.Life had already been merciful enough.She had no right to ask for more. Greed only led to ruin."I’m sorry. The

Thankfully, Stellar reacted quickly and caught her in time. “Ma’am, may I ask—are you related to Coco?”“I’m her distant aunt. My name is Maggie Lee! Coco’s had a hard life. Her parents and brother bullied and exploited her since she was a child. “I couldn’t stand watching it, so I took her in when she was young and raised her in my home.”Maggie herself had also been a victim of a family that favored sons over daughters. She was mistreated growing up and eventually sold off for a one-hundred-dollar dowry to an old bachelor in the next town.Though the man was older, he had an honest nature. The two of them managed to live a fairly stable life.But just a few months later, he died in an accident. Maggie was then branded as cursed and was driven out by her in-laws. Her own family wouldn’t take her back either.From that point on, she built her life from the ground up—farming, selling vegetables, doing everything she could to survive. Eventually, through sheer effort, she managed

Coco wanted to struggle and pull away, but Xavier held her tightly. “Don’t move. Your body’s the priority right now. Don’t be stubborn and listen to me!”His firm tone left her speechless. She lowered her head and shut her eyes, and just like that, the exhaustion and hunger of the past three days came crashing down.She passed out almost instantly, scaring Xavier half to death. He thought something had gone wrong and nearly broke down in panic.It was Stellar who stepped in with a reminder. “Relax. Her pulse and breathing are a little weak, but she’s alive. What she needs now is treatment and rest.”Only then did Xavier come to his senses, suddenly feeling a bit embarrassed.He cleared his throat and awkwardly tried to change the subject. “Anyway, I owe you one today. If you hadn’t had the foresight to bring that team of black-clad commandos, there’s no way we could’ve gotten Coco back from those villagers.”“Actually, it wasn’t me,” Stellar admitted, scratching her nose a little s

“Damn it, someone from outside broke in! Get in here and beat them out!”Just then, other residents who lived nearby charged toward Alex’s place with hoes, rakes, and hatchets in hand.Coco flinched and snapped back to her senses. “Go! Run now! When they gang up like this, it gets deadly. They’ll kill you—just go, don’t worry about me!”But Stellar stepped forward, crouched in front of her, and said, “You think I came here for fun? I’m not leaving without you.”“But…” Coco tried to persuade her to leave.She had iron shackles around her wrists and ankles. Without the key, there was no way to break free.And the key had been hidden by Alex in some secret spot—impossible to find quickly.But before she could even finish her thought, Stellar grabbed the chain and pulled hard in opposite directions.Coco watched with wide eyes as the thick lock snapped right in front of her.Her mouth formed a perfect “O.”The shock hit her like a wave.Stellar removed the remaining restraints, then reach

In Alex’s eyes, the woman in front of him was nothing more than a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.She would never escape his grasp again, so he spoke of everything he’d done without a hint of fear.Coco could no longer hold it in and bent forward, retching violently.But after nearly three days without food, there wasn’t even stomach acid left, only the endless dry heaving that tore her apart with fear.Just then, Alex stepped up to her, grabbed a fistful of her hair, and brought a bread to her mouth like he was teasing a dog.“I’m giving you one more chance. If you behave and act like a good wife, I’ll give you food and water, and you’ll never have to suffer like this again. How about that?”To someone on the verge of fainting from hunger, that piece of food was the cruelest kind of temptation.Coco forced her eyes open and stared at the man’s freckled face, taking deep breaths.A few seconds later, under his confident gaze, she spat hard at him. “You sick monster!
