18. Trapped!

She left as soon as those kids leave to finds the boy named Evan Chang.

If what they said was correct, then it won't be long before Adrian 'gracing' this yacht with his presence. That man...he wouldn't gives up easily after this.

It hard enough for her to escape this country under his nose through sea road, yet the kids said that his nephew was here already? Then, she will be damned!

" Damn it!" She cursed, feeling at loss and a bit...expecting? Hum...with his connection all around the world, this yacht soon will gone under his grasp. Then, her escape plan was down to nonexistent!

She slapped her cheek, clearing her thought and mind. " No, no, no. I can't give up yet. If he catch me back, the information about my accident will broken. I'm halfway, though."

Layla rushed into her cabin, and slammed close the door before locked it. " I can't stay here any longer. Leave, I must leave!" She pull open the wardrobe and start packing her small luggage. After coming here, she prepared an escape route for emergency in advance. Now, its the time to used it.

She change her dress to a watertight suit. She disposed all the useless items away, repacking only a pair of normal clothes and a gun.

Yes, she had a gun with her. She sneak a gun out from Allen's secret compartment in the car previously.

After making sure all the traces was erased, she took the hardcase backpack and open the cabin's window. A small path below the window is a big help for her. No longer looking back, she jumped out and rushed to another side of the yacht, where they places several small boat and jet scooters.

One of the jet scooters already fall into her hands since earlier. Using her knowledge in hacking, the cabin soon opened up. She took a safety jacket and a pair of scuba diving suit with some items. She put half of the things in her backpack and tied it on the jet scooter.

Her location was a small island not far from the yacht. She will hide in the island for the time being and left again. The jet scooter was not her only escape route. She already prepared a jet capsule to live in the ocean for a week for the least. She's not arrogant enough to says that this is the safest way to hide. But, what else she could do?

That man is capable enough to block all her escape routes, either the land, the sea, and the air. She started the engine and rush out in a great speed. There's several passengers playing with the jet scooters around the yacht, as this was one of the privileges the yacht's owner put for attractive water sports.

She use this opportunity to joined the fun and would escape after some moment of time as to not attracting unwanted eyes. Because of the jacket she wore were the same as the others, they didn't think much as they only thought that Layla was one of the players.

She made several rounds of the yacht, and slowly withdrawn from the group. Luckily, one of the groups close enough to the island. She snuck out of the group and went to a prepared place she found before. The place was a small section of the beach to harbor. She parked the jet scooter and left the beach in hasty. She took a small path to the hidden cave, where she hides her second route of escaping.

Here, she placed a jet capsule to hide. She contacted a man she know in the organization to prepared this vehicle in advance. It's not that hard as her own connection in the organization still there in database. Her hacking skill were not for display anyway.

Her time as Winter still fresh in her mind. However, only small parts of the memories still missing. After making sure everything is fine, then, she boarded the jet capsule.

Throwing the backpack to the side, she went to started the engine. The engine made some noises as a starter. She frowned as the engine died. She twist the key again, yet failed.

" What is this?" Layla had a bad premonition. " Don't tell me..." She twist again, but failed.

Her face turned darker than the pot bottom. He dared! " Bas*tard! Daniel, you son of bi*tch! Scammer!" Layla smack the window, seething in anger. Her temper flared like a raging fire. She soon calming down and sat at the small chair prepared.

Her guts said this was not something a money-grubber like him would do. This style of doing thing, this way of scamming her should be no one but her.

" Viper!" She gritted her teeth.

" Hahahaha, you know me well, babe!" A sounds of laughter echoed in the cave. Layla rush out and saw her long-time rival standing at the mouth of the cave.

" What the hell are you trying to do?!" She felt her gums itching to bite someone to death. Viper made a shrugs, waving her hand gracefully. " Nothing much, just doing some small favor for that person." She walked inside the cave, smugly.

" What 'person' are you talking about?" Layla put all her guards up. When facing this snake, she mustn't careless.

" Who else if not that handsome man of yours~" Viper made a lewd gesture of licking her red lips. This perverted snake harbour ill intention towards her husband!

" Shut up! You...!" The words stuck on her throat as she catches some hints. But, how come? An unbelievable expression distorted her face greatly, thinking that man already few steps away from her. He calculate her every traces and steps, not leaving anything behind at all.

Fu*ck! She forgot that man was once a great mercenary himself. Of course he could traces her connection back to the organization. Yes, with that jerk Allen's help.

She went back to the jet capsule to get her backpack. Run, she must run from here! As soon as her feet step outside the cave, a roars of spinning blades blasted the small rocks and sand upsidedown.

" What the...?" Layla cover her face behind her hands. She looked up only to see a black helicopter descend from the sky, hovering above her head.

She saw him.

Standing at the open door, looking downward, at her.

Adrian.

She...trapped!!
