The presence of those two people was anything but ordinary.

According to the note I had written, Whitney and Taylor had already uncovered enough leads to dismantle several hideouts. The smaller players must have been dealt with long ago. That meant the people outside now were likely the real masterminds.

The woman from earlier had looked at me with open hostility, her gaze laced with an unmistakable intent to kill.

Was she the one pulling the strings behind the scenes? Otherwise, why would she hold such deep resentment toward Zoey?

It was clear that she knew who I was.

A shiver ran through me-part fear, part exhilaration.

Perhaps that was the closest I had ever been to my enemy.

I longed for vengeance.

But then, my eyes fell on my swollen belly. Carrying twins had made me look farther along than I actually was-though I was only five and a half months pregnant, my stomach appeared as if I were well past six.

In such a condition, I couldn't lift anything heavy, much less fight or run.

If I tried to attack, I would only end up hurting myself.

And with the bodyguards surrounding them, I wouldn't stand a chance. Any one of them could knock me out with a single hit.

I had no

way to strike first, nor could I take them down in secret.

So even with my enemies right in front of me, all I could do was focus on protecting myself.

As long as my children remained safe, all I could do now was survive long enough to find Carter.

I stayed in the bathroom for a long time, lost in thought, until a knock on the door snapped me back to reality.

Sergio's voice came through, tinged with concern. "Coco, are you okay?"

He sounded a little anxious, probably waiting outside for a while, ready to break down the door if I didn't respond.

I opened it, and he immediately noticed my red eyes. His voice softened. "What happened?"

My hands trembled as I shook my head. "I-I don't know. I've never even met your parents, but for some

reason, I feel terrified. I'm scared something will happen to my babies..."

Sergio's expression softened with a rare gentleness. "Don't worry. I'll keep all three of you safe."

I hesitated before asking, "Who exactly are your parents? They seem...

powerful."

"But I feel like your mother doesn't like me. Did I do something to offend her in the past?"

"Relationships with in-laws can be tricky. It's not unusual,"

"Are they planning to stay on the island permanently?"

"No, they just came to visit. If you're uncomfortable around them, you don't have to interact with them." Sergio seemed so gentle and considerate. But what was his true role in that organization?

He chose his words carefully, making it impossible for me to gather any useful information.

For the sake of my children, I knew I couldn't let my curiosity put me in danger. So, I did as he suggested and kept my distance.

Nevertheless, I monitored their movements closely. The helicopter remained grounded on the island. Were they hiding here as well?

After all, my unborn children weren't related to them. There was no reason for them to be here just to check

on me.

The island was completely cut off from the outside world, with no internet or communication signals. Aside from seeking refuge, I couldn't think of any other reason they would stay.

If I could send out even the smallest signal, I could bring them all down at once.

But I had no jewelry on me-nothing that could contain a hidden tracker. If I had ever worn something like that, Sergio must have already disposed of it.

A sudden movement in my belly pulled me back to reality. My twins were restless as if sensing my distress.

I immediately placed a hand on my stomach, trying to calm them.

Sergio noticed. "What's wrong?"

"My stomach feels uncomfortable. The babies won't settle down."

"Lie down and rest for a bit."

"Alright."

Sitting on the bed, I gently stroked my belly until the twins finally calmed down. Sleep crept over me. "Go ahead and rest," Sergio murmured. "It's late. I'll keep watch."

"Okay."

I closed my eyes and mumbled, "Turn off the light. It's too bright."

"Okay."

Once I drifted off, he quietly stepped out of the room. A few minutes later, I slowly sat up and tiptoed to

the door.

The woman's voice was sharp with anger. "Have you lost your mind? How could you keep this woman around when she's carrying another man's children?"

"This is my choice. It has nothing to do with you."

Sergio stood facing away from me, obscuring his face from my view, but his tone was piercing,

The man beside her added, "Serg, you've always been stubborn. We never forced you into the family business, letting you live what you want. But Chloe is a problem. On top of that, she's pregnant with someone else's kids! You could have any woman you want-are you that hung up on her face? I can find you ten women just like her."

"You disgust me."

Sergio's voice held no trace of respect for them.

"Business? You treat human lives like commodities, using people as tools and disposing of them when they're no longer useful. Do you have any humanity left?"

"Shut your mouth!" the woman snapped. "If your grandfather could hear you now, he'd rise from his grave just to break your legs! Do you have any idea how much this island is worth? Without us, you wouldn't have the luxury of living as you do!"

Sergio sneered. "From the moment I left the Ligendzas, I haven't touched a single cent of your filthy money. And as for whatever you spent raising me, I've repaid every penny. Get off my island.

"I've made myself clear before-I'm no longer part of the Ligendzas!"

I stood frozen in shock. That was unexpected.

Sergio wasn't part of the organization after all.

Or maybe he had once been, but he despised their methods and refused to be involved, changing his name and living in solitude for years.

Maybe something he witnessed as a child had pushed him toward becoming a psychologist.

If that were true, then his connection to me had been nothing more than a coincidence an accident. That meant he had never known I was destined to die in a carefully orchestrated plot.

And that was why he had sworn to protect me.

The woman's voice rose in fury. "You think changing your name makes a difference? Your blood will always be the same! Don't be naive, Serg. The world runs on money and power. Every wealthy man steps on the backs of the weak. That's just how it works.

"I don't care about your way of life," Sergio said coldly. "I just want to make a living without blood on my hands. The day you murdered Chloe was the day I severed all ties with you."

He stood tall, looking down at them with disgust. "I'll never for
