‘Do you ever stop talking? Autumn snapped. She pressed the curved blade against his throat. “Move. Now. Or I’ll kill you.”
Matthew leaned back just enough for the knife to miss his skin, completely unfazed. A grin spread across his handsome face. ‘You’ve got me even more curious now. My soulmate really is one of a kind, huh.”
‘Oh, shut up.” Autumn grimaced. “Do you hear yourself? That’s disgusting.”
This guy is unbearably cheesy!
“Were you the one who took over my family’s plantation?” Matthew asked.
She ignored the question. Instead, she lowered her gaze and focused on the sounds outside, listening carefully as she pieced together the search team’s positions.
“Where are we?”
“The southeast gate,” Matthew replied. “Past it is the coastline. Fall off the cliffs, and you’re dead. Are you really willing to risk that?”
“Why wouldn’t I?” she shot back. “Aren’t you worried your family will find out you brought me here?”
“I’m more worried about losing my chance with you.”
Autumn scrubbed her hand against her clothes as if she’d touched something filthy. “What is wrong with you, Matthew? The world’s gone to hell, and you’re still trying to act like you’re in some over-the-top romance?”
“I do have something wrong with me,” he said with complete sincerity. “It’s this terrible disease where I can’t stand being apart from you. I think it’s called… mmph!” Before he could finish, Autumn clamped a hand over his mouth.
She’d heard enough. Seriously.
That was the cringiest thing she’d ever heard.
Autumn slammed Matthew against the wall, pinning him in place. “Listen carefully. Do you want to be the one in charge? I’ll help you take Gordon out. And you step into his place.”
Matthew’s eyes widened. He tried to answer, but her grip was clamped so tightly over his mouth that all he managed was a muffled sound. He blinked at her repeatedly, silently begging her to let go.
She had zero interest in hearing whatever nonsense he was about to say. Keeping her hand firmly in place, she asked, “When Gordon’s in danger, where does he run?”
Matthew awkwardly pointed toward the largest villa in the middle of the neighborhood.
“That’s where he lives?” Autumn frowned. “I’ve never seen him go there before.”
Matthew gave a helpless shrug.
“I get it,” she said. “He’s never really been in danger before, so he had no reason to hide there. But now that his life’s on the line, he’s running straight to the safest place he’s got.”

This was exactly why he’d fallen for her. Sharp and fearless. She only needed the smallest clue to figure everything else out
‘Matthew, thanks for helping me today. I pay you back someday.” A sly smile curved Autumn’s lips. Leaning close, she blew softly against his ear. “But pretty boys aren’t my type
Before he could react, she shoved him away. In one smooth motion, she pulled a grappling hook from her storage space, fired it nto the top of the wall, and started climbing.
The second she cleared the wall, someone spotted her.
‘There! Stop!” A chorus of metallic clicks echoed through the air as rifles were raised. “Turn around! Hands up!”
Matthew calmly turned to face them and lifted both hands.
‘Mr. York?” one of the patrol guards blurted out in surprise. “What are you doing out here? Did you see anyone come through?”
I was taking a walk. Is that against the rules?” Matthew sounded completely at ease. “Who? I didn’t see anybody.”
‘he patrol exchanged uncertain looks.
There’s no one here except me,” Matthew said flatly. “You think I’d lie to you?”
Of course not.”
is they lowered their guard, Matthew couldn’t help glancing back toward the wall.
The twenty-foot barrier was already empty. She was gone.
she’d said pretty boys aren’t her type… Does that mean she’d just admitted I’m handsome?
Matthew touched his face with a goofy grin.
Mr. York, we’ll leave you to your walk,” one of the patrolmen said. None of them wanted to cross him, so they quickly led the team
Iway.
Matthew barely heard a word they said. His mind was completely stuck on two sentences. I’ll help you take Gordon out And you step nto his place.
See? She loves me after all.
She’s even willing to kill Gordon just to put me in charge
f that isn’t love, then what is?
And everything she’d done before… That had all been for me, hadn’t it?
Man, I’m just that irresistible.
Meanwhile, Autumn had no idea what kind of delusional fantasy was running through his head.

The moment she leaped from the cliff, she pulled a spherical survival pod from her storage space. Just before she hit the water, she slipped inside and sealed the hatch
Splash.
The pod plunged into the sea.
Within seconds, it disappeared beneath the freezing water
Through the reinforced glass, the ocean was nothing but endless black.
No fish. No shrimp. No signs of life.
