    At that moment, Anna had only one thought: she had to run, because she could never fall into Leon’s hands.


    The trail on the back hill stretched on and on. She didn’t know how long she had been running. The people behind her chased relentlessly, like wild beasts hunting prey.


    When she finally slipped and tumbled down the slope, she strangely felt relieved. Scenes from the past 20–plus years shed through her mind, and she suddenly realized she had never made a truly right choice.


    With a loud crash, her world went dark.


    At that moment, Anna thought of nothing. She only wanted to sleep.


    By the time she woke up, it was alreadyte at night. After panicking for a while, she remembered her phone. The battery was still good, but there was no signal at all.


    She turned on the shlight and slowly felt her way forward. Branches scraped across her clothes with rustling sounds, which felt eerie in the empty, silent woods.


    Anna endured the pain in her body and walked carefully step by step.


    She finally saw a clearer path. Before she could feel happy, voices sounded not far away.


    “There’s light up ahead. It must be her!”


    “Go, hurry!”


    Her mind went nk for a moment, but survival instinct took over. She didn’t even have time to be afraid. She turned and ran.


    She didn’t care where she went. She just couldn’t let Leon catch her.


    As she ran, tears streamed down her face.


    She wiped them again and again, but her nose was so blocked she could barely preathe.


    The dense woods helped her hide, but the difference in strength between men and women was too great. Before long, the two men behind her caught up.


    “Over here!”


    Anna leaned against a tree, gasping for air. She could barely stand.


    She hadn’t eaten all afternoon and had run for so long she had no strength left. But seeing them get closer, her instinct to live pushed her forward,


    She took only two steps before her knees gave out and she copsed to the ground.


    “Ms. Winsor.”


    The pursuer was now very close. The man panted as he looked at her. “You really made us search for a long time.”

    Anna trembled all over. When she raised her head, her bloodshot eyes were obvious even in the dark night. She finally asked the question she had held inside.


    “Did Leon send you to chase me?”


    The two men exchanged a nce but didn’t answer. Instead, they reached out their hands.


    “Don’t touch me!”


    Anna shouted with all her strength and backed away, almost rolling down again.


    She quickly looked back and saw a very steep drop behind her. If she fell, she would be finished.


    Seeing all her movements, the bodyguard raised his hands slightly. “Ms. Winsor, why must you do this? We only want to take your down the mountain.”


    “Take me down and lock me up?”


    Anna let out a coldugh. “How many people did your boss send to capture me?”


    The bodyguards didn’t answer such a pointless question. Their cold faces showed impatience. They had searched the mountain all day and it was already past midnight. They wanted to leave soon, but Anna refused to cooperate and was wasting time.


    “Ms. Winsor,” one of them tried to negotiate, “standing like this won’t help. Why don’t you tell us what you want? As long as it doesn’t break our rules, we can help you.”


    “Help me?” Anna’s voice was hoarse and lifeless. She said softly, “No one in this world can help me anymore.”


    The bodyguard frowned deeper. Leon had ordered them to bring her back at any cost, but they knew he cared about her anything happened <i>to </i>her while she was with them, they would be doomed.


    The bodyguard clenched his teeth. “Ms. Winsor, why torture yourself like this?”


    He nced at the time. “It’s almost 1 a.m. You’ve been struggling on this mountain all day and hurt yourself like this. In the end nothing will change, so why keep going?”


    Anna’s beautiful face looked distant and lost. She forced a faint smile.


    “Yeah, why am I doing this?”


    She didn’t even know what she had been doing with her life.


    She once thought she met a man who could pull her out of darkness, but the deeper darkness was caused by him.


    After she finally escaped, Hubert wanted to trade her for business benefits. Her mother grieved for her every day, yet she couldn’t change anything.


    Her life really was a failure.


    “I will never go with you. Either let me die here today or go back and tell Leon that if he doesn’t stop chasing me, I will kill him sooner orter!”


    Thest words burst from her throat, filled with deep hatred.
