Lost Me Gained Regret

Garry Jordan, the head honcho of the Jordan family, was holding court in his lavish living room when Gregory strolled in. Despite being on foreign turf, Gregory's demeanor was as relaxed as if he were lounging in his own living room.

He casually took a seat across from Garry, yet his eyes remained sharp, not touching anything on the table.

"Samuel wants to win me over, but I refused. So, he took my love away. Mr. Garry, you tell me, shouldn't I seek revenge?"

Garry's wife, the woman he had pursued through thick and thin, had been taken from him forever due to a fiery clash with Samuel.

He had never remarried, occasionally stirring trouble for Samuel. But taking Samuel out was no small feat.

So, when a tip came his way, he didn't care if it was true or not; he had to meet this person.

Now, knowing the young man before him sought his wife, Garry felt it was worth the gamble.

"What do you need from me?"

Gregory smirked. "Mr. Garry, you're a smart man. It's refreshing to converse with someone as straightforward as you."

"Our goals align; no need for any more chitchat." Garry was direct. "Trust is given, and any consequences are yours to bear. If you didn't trust, you wouldn't be here."

Gregory raised his glass to Garry but didn't drink, apologizing, "Sorry, I need to save my love. Can't afford to get drunk."

Garry nodded, taking Gregory's cue to make arrangements.

"I'll take care of the guards at the shore. Send a team to dive across first, and another to distract with my boat for a diversion. Anything unclear, ask my buddy."Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

After laying out his plan, Gregory hopped onto a dinghy and returned to his ship.

He called Samuel back, "I'll comply, but you must ensure my love is safe."

Samuel's response was jumbled with excitement, eventually managing to say, "I'll send someone to bring you in! I'm heading to the shore to pick up your wife, she'll be well taken care of."

Gregory instructed Lucius, then turned to Dailey, "You handle it. His men are too confused to remember your face. I've got my crew ready, we'll coordinate perfectly."

Gregory nodded in agreement, then boarded the vessel sent by Samuel.

I had been asleep for quite a while; I would've woken if he had come.

Just as I was about to breathe a sigh of relief, the doorknob turned from the outside.

Realizing it was locked, the person didn't force their way in.

"Jane, come out on your own. It'll spare your little one any trouble."

Biting back my anger, I replied, "Give me a moment to wash up."

I didn't wait to see if he left; I quickly freshened up.

Stepping outside, the early light made the sea shimmer, reflecting the azure sky.

But I had no time to admire the view.

Stepping onto the shore, I was uncertain of what Mark had planned for me.

"Jane, you've got one minute."

At his knock, I hastily opened the door.

Mark tossed me a jacket, not the black trench coat from the night before.
