Camila patiently asked, “You mentioned knowing my relationship with him. What exactly do you know about our relationship?"

She wanted to see how much he knew about her and Isaac

This would allow her to begin formulating a plan to get away from him Ryder's brows furrowed in confusion. Even after hearing some details about Isaac and Camila from Debora, he knew very little about them.

If it were not for his subordinate, he would not recognize Camila.

“What other relationship could you have? Aren't you Lovers?" Ryder replied.

Isaac had not tied the knot, so Camila must be his girlfriend.

Camila inwardly sighed in relief. Ryder suspected that she was related to Isaac in some way, but he was unclear on the specifics.

That was good news for her

“What I'm about to tell you is the truth, but you're free to look into it if you don't believe me. Isaac has never treated me well. He's the one responsible for the fracture in my leg. I haven't even recovered from it yet. I despise him right down to my core. I want to help you get back at him because I have a vendetta to carry out as well."

Ryder looked hesitant now.

“I'll have it investigated. For now, you're coming with me."

He stopped Camila when she attempted to continue. "I can't simply take in your side of the story and let you go. For all I know, you could be lying to me."

Despite his physical flaws, Ryder was not a moron

Camila shook uncontrollably as she leaned against the railing.

She felt chills all over her body as the cool sea air blew. Crossing her arms over her chest, she rubbed her biceps vigorously. "I'll go with you, but you have to promise me one thing."

“What is it?" Ryder asked.

“Let me stay in a hotel. If you want to keep an eye on me, you can send someone to guard outside the door."

She wanted to change into dry clothes, but she could not do that in front of Ryder and his men.

Hotels were swarming with guests. If anything happened, she could find help there.

After hesitating for a while, Ryder answered, "Fine."

“Thank you," Camila responded politely.

Because he was now her captor, she had to show her utmost deference to him.

Camila was so feeble and subservient in Ryder's eyes that he believed she would never risk running away. Turning to his subordinates, he declared, "Don't bother tying her up. Just keep an eye on her."

If he had known how Camila evaded capture by the two guys, he never would have entertained her offer.

After the ship had docked, Camila disembarked with them. Ryder had some of his subordinates follow her, but they did not touch her.
