Never Meant to be Seen Chapter 70- The Trade
“I’ll do it.”The words left my mouth before Konstantin could say anything else. There was no calculation behind them, no careful weighing of the consequences, because the moment he said he had Arlo, every other thought became secondary.“Sofia, no.”Isabelle's voice came from behind me.I turned and saw her standing in the doorway, one hand gripping the frame for support. She had heard enough to understand exactly what I had agreed to, and the anger in her face made it clear she wasn't going to let me pretend this was a reasonable decision.“You can't do that,” she said.“I can.”“No, you can't.”She crossed the deck toward me.“You have no idea what you're walking into.”“I know exactly what I'm walking into.”“You're walking into Konstantin's hands.”“And Arlo is already there.”“That doesn't mean you sacrifice yourself for him.”I lowered the radio.“He would do the same for me.”Isabelle stopped.“That isn't the point.”“It is to me.”She shook her head.“You don't understand Kon
Never Meant to be Seen Chapter 69- No Sign of Arlo
I searched the deck again, even though I already knew what I would find. Arlo was nowhere, and every second I spent looking made the possibility of finding him feel more distant. The only person I had managed to find was Mia, injured and struggling to stay on her feet beside me.“We have to get you somewhere safe,” I said.Mia shook her head.“Not without Arlo.”“That isn't your decision right now.”She gave me a tired look.“And it's yours?”I didn't answer.She knew.I couldn't leave him.Not like this.The boat continued cutting through the dark water, carrying us farther away from the vessel where the others had been separated from us. I kept looking toward the rear, hoping another boat would appear or that I would somehow see Arlo standing on the deck behind us.Nothing.Mia leaned heavily against me.“I can walk.”“You're bleeding.”“I've been worse.”“That doesn't make this better.”She tried to straighten herself, but the movement made her wince.I caught her before she could
Never Meant to be Seen Chapter 68- Lost in the Confusion
The other vessel was already pulling away when I saw the gap between it and ours widen. I could hear men shouting behind me, but none of it mattered because Arlo was somewhere on that boat, and I couldn't leave without knowing he was safe. I grabbed the railing and looked across the water, trying to find any sign of him through the bodies moving across the deck.“Sofia!”I ignored the voice behind me.I climbed over the railing before anyone could stop me and landed hard on the other vessel. Pain shot through my ankle, but I forced myself upright and immediately started searching.“Arlo!”No answer.The boat rocked beneath my feet as it moved away from the one we'd arrived on. I grabbed the nearest railing to steady myself, then pushed toward the center of the deck, looking behind equipment and through the men who were still moving around.“Arlo!”A man turned toward me.I ducked before he could reach me and slipped behind a stack of containers.My breathing came fast as I crouched th
Never Meant to be Seen Chapter 67- Breach
Gunfire tore through the boat before I could even process what was happening, the sharp cracks coming from above as men shouted over one another. Isabelle grabbed my arm and pulled me away from the hatch while Edmund pushed himself through first, checking the deck before waving us forward. The entire boat shook beneath our feet as another shot struck somewhere nearby.“Stay close,” Edmund ordered.We climbed out into complete chaos.Men in black were moving across the deck, some boarding from the other vessels while others spread out to block every possible escape. The wind whipped against my face, carrying the smell of fuel and saltwater, while Isabelle pulled me behind a metal structure as bullets struck the railing.“Get down!” she shouted.I dropped beside her.Edmund fired toward the men approaching from the opposite side, forcing them to duck behind the side of their boat. He grabbed Isabelle's shoulder and pointed toward the back of the vessel.“There!”I followed his hand.A n
Never Meant to be Seen Chapter 66- Quietly Removed
The hidden passage was barely wide enough for one person, forcing me to turn sideways as Isabelle pulled me deeper into the darkness. Behind us, footsteps thundered across the deck, followed by the violent crash of something hitting the cabin door. Edmund came last, shutting the hidden entrance just as another voice shouted from outside.“Search every room!”I pressed myself against the cold wall and listened.“They're here,” I whispered.Isabelle nodded.“They were always going to be.”Something about the way she said it made me look at her.“Always?”She didn't answer immediately.The passage opened into a small compartment beneath the boat, crowded with supplies, ropes, fuel containers, and an old emergency raft. Edmund moved past us and began pulling equipment from a storage cabinet while Isabelle checked the narrow hatch at the opposite end.I couldn't stop thinking about what she had told me.The wedding wasn't meant to happen.It was meant to lure me into open water.The words
Never Meant to be Seen Chapter 65- They're Already Coming
The sound of engines grew louder, cutting through the wind and drowning out the low hum of our own boat. Isabelle moved toward the narrow window and lifted the curtain just enough to see outside, her expression changing the moment she looked toward the horizon. Edmund was already reaching for something beneath the table when she turned back to us.“How many?” he asked.“Three,” Isabelle said.My stomach tightened.“Three boats?”She nodded. “And they're not searching for us.”Another engine roared somewhere beyond the cabin, followed by the unmistakable sweep of a searchlight across the water. It passed over our boat once, disappeared, then returned a moment later as if whoever controlled it had already known exactly where to look.“They tracked us,” I whispered.Edmund didn't answer.He didn't need to.The realization settled heavily between us.They hadn't found us by accident.They had been following us the entire time.Isabelle pulled the curtain shut and stepped away from the win
