Andrew feels as bile rises in his chest, is that his daughter lying unconscious on the table?!

The whistling man turns around and smiles at Andrew.

“Ay, mate, what are you doing here? The shore is that way, you know.” The man points.

When he sees that Andrew doesn't move, he stops whistling and faces him squarely.

“Or are you here to buy a body part?” He asks. “The heart has been sold out to the badger. You can have the kidneys though.”

The fact that this man is offering Andrew his young daughter's body's part makes him boil with anger.

The man immediately freezes as he sees the anger on Andrew's face. He figures out the relationship between Andrew and the helpless girl really quickly.

“Is this your child, mate?” He laughs. “Sorry, but she's been sold. The badger will be super mad if I don't get a heart to him by twilight.”

“Maybe your heart will do just fine,” Angus says. “I will make sure to put it in a good box for your boss, the Badger.”

The man laughs and whistles very loudly. Ten men immediately walk into the room, holding machetes in their hands.

Andrew sighs under his breath, he doesn't want to ruin his Tom Ford suit, but it's a small price to pay for his child.

He catches the men one after the other, throwing them like rage dolls. They grunt in pain. He takes the machete and severs the head of the last one, staining his suit with a splatter of blood. The butcher is horrified, he tries to use his knife as a weapon, but Andrew easily takes it out of his hand and slashes his thigh with him.

“Aaaaaaah!” The man falls on his knee.

Andrew grabs him by his shirt and pulls him back to his feet. The man is trembling like a fish, begging for Andrew to spear his life.

“Don't kill me, please! You can take your child! I will find a replacement!” He pleads.

Andrew is not moved by his plea at all. Instead, he questions. “Who sent you to kidnap my child?”

“I didn't kidnap her, she was sold to the badger by her mother, I only had the contract to take out her heart. The badger’s daughter is sick, she needs an immediate implant.”

Andrew's brows furrow as his frown deepens. How can the mother of his child sell her to some miscreants? It doesn't even make sense at all.

The man tries to free himself, but to his surprise, Andrew's grasp is as firm as steel.

“This is for trying to hurt my child.” Andrew grunts.

He hoists the man into the air and sends him crashing into the huge tank that contains about five sharks.

His painful screams fill the air as the carnivores tear him apart, leaving the water red and his mangled body parts floating in the tank.

Andrew immediately takes off his jacket and puts it around his child. He lifts her into the air and sighs with relief as soon as he feels her gentle breath against his face.

Her eyes flicker to reveal the bluest eyes in the world, they are exactly like his mother's! This is truly his child.

“Da..daddy?” She manages to say. “Are you my daddy? Did you come to save me?”

“Yes, my child. You are safe now.” He kisses her forehead.

Tears swell in the eyes of the little girl. She has never seen her father since he left the night that she was conceived. Even though she is only five, she has been through a lot of troubles in her life. She lived in the basement of her mother's family's mansion, but she was sold because she started to become rebellious to her captors.

She hugs her father as she cries, she never thought that this day would come in her life.

“I've always had nightmares, Papa!” She sniffles. “And mummy's workers, they beat me and lock me up–”

“Hey, sweetie.” He pushes her hair away from her face. “Your mummy? She was the one who did this to you?”

This is beyond Andrew because the woman who saved him from the fire, she was the sweetest girl he has ever met. How could she turn around and be so cruel to her child? Was she pretending all along?

His daughter, Uma, her small hands wipes her eyes dry as she stops crying to answer her father.

“Aunty Adriana is the one who locked me up. She beat me and forced me to call her mummy, she was the one who sold me.” She says. “My real mummy, she has been forced to work in the Red men's club. She was the one who taught me your name, your number, and she told me that you will come to save us.”

Andrew is so baffled that he lets out a chuckle. He had no idea that the Sanchez family was this crazy. But also, he is greatly impressed by how intelligent his five-year-old daughter is.

Uma touches her father's face, he immediately feels the anger lessen in him.

“Ruby,” She says. “My mother's name is Ruby Sanchez.”

Angus feels his fists stiffen. He has to rescue her immediately.
