He was crazy, Cal Hockley thought he was totally crazy.

He couldn't explain this feeling at all. When he saw the woman rushing towards the deck railing, he was almost in a daze. When he came back to his senses, he had already jumped off the ladder, desperate to catch she.

She was obviously wearing cheap fabrics and a ragged scarf, but he still recognized her easily.Stretching forward with all his strength, a place in his body that had been dusty for many years collapsed. The life he was accustomed to, his rules of the game, and his bottom line standards were all at the moment when he grabbed the worn-out scarf that disgusted him. All smashed into dust.

There was only a rush of ecstasy, and he had her.

In the next second, the strength slackened, the scarf slipped away from her head, and the long golden hair slipped past his fingertips, and he saw her running away without even turning her head.The collapsed place in his heart became more blank and empty, and Carl felt that he must be sick, and the illness was unclear.

This is not something he would do, he would chase after a damn poor woman here, and he would not let go of her.What would others think of him?He will become a laughing stock, it is simply unbearable, and he must order himself to return to his normal way of thinking.

He's destroying his social image for a goddamn worthless woman, and it's the worst business he's ever done.

He must stop the loss and not lose any more.Carl stubbornly wanted to stop his irrational behavior, but it finally had some effect. When he looked up, a scene that made his heart shattered happened.The little bit of rationality that had just grown in his brain exploded, instantly turning his brain into a paste.

She leaned over the railing, with half of her body outside the ship, like a crumbling glass, ready to fall and shatter on the sea at any moment.Before he ran to her side, she stretched out one leg over the railing.Fear swelled even more than when he was facing death, and a terrifying force burst out from Karl's body. He never knew that he could run so fast, almost faster than when he was hunting on horseback.

Any loss of business or embarrassment was crushed under his feet, and he could no longer see anything in his eyes, only the thought that she would fall and drown at any time.At the last moment, he finally hugged her waist, and the feeling of falling made him almost let go of his hands. His fingers tightly twisted the clothes on her body, and he hugged her from the railing forcefully.

Her entire back was pressed against his chest, and Karl could almost hear the beating of his own heartbeat reaching her. They were shaking together, breathing intertwined, like one person.

The woman in his arms was as warm as a flame burning, and he felt the emptiness after the collapse in his heart was burned to pieces. He had no experience with this feeling, and he was defeated by the other party immediately, and he lost in a complete mess.

Carl hugged her tightly, as if he was hugging the only gift in his life for nearly 30 years.But this box of gifts struggled so much, kicking and kicking and hitting and scratching him... He had never been hit so many times by the same person.

"Let me go." She came over with a paw, almost disfiguring him.

Karl was angry, couldn't she be more obedient, as a woman she was rougher than a man.After excessive panic, the pain of wanting to strangle her to death, even if she was tied up with ten or eight iron chains, this damned woman would still be able to escape, and she would never be quiet for a moment.

Intruded into his life like a robber, wrecked and destroyed without any compassion, and now kicked and bit him like a normal person.This is not a woman, this is a devil.

Finally, under the influence of the drugs, she finally calmed down. When she was lying limply in his arms, Karl couldn't help shaking her. Her face was hidden in the thick blond hair, and it also fell limply on his arm. On the ground, his face was so white that it seemed to disappear into thin air.Carl couldn't help worrying about this feeling of powerlessness. He looked at the doctor with a cold face, wishing he could stab him to death with a knife in his eye.Then he picked her up and weighed her with dissatisfaction. It was so light, where did all the meat go?

The emptiness in my heart finally felt full.Carl couldn't control the muscles in his face, it kept shaking upwards, and finally pulled out a weird smile.Then when he saw the curious prying eyes of those crew members, doctors, and onlookers, he finally remembered where he was. Almost without thinking, he already instinctively argued, "She was emotional just now and wanted to jump into the sea."

So he just saved a woman who committed suicide.

The ship doctor tried to come over, trying to reach out to take the patient from Carl's hand, but Carl's expression suddenly turned fierce, and he stabbed the ship doctor out with a single glance of the knife.Then he hugged the person in his arms even tighter, and said displeasedly: "Okay, I know her, she is very weak now, please don't scare her." After finishing speaking, he saw another obtrusive guy rushing Running over from the deck in a hurry, it was the little boy in the portrait, who yelled loudly: "Emily, Emily, what's wrong with you?"

With a wink to his servant, Lovejoy quickly walked over to stop the other's footsteps.Carl took the opportunity to walk back with someone in his arms, and he might meet acquaintances in the upper class during the process, but these became unimportant to him.He's losing money, Karl told himself coldly, stop this stupid behavior, this is not your fiancée, she's just a woman of unknown origin and no background who might be a thief.

Stop this irrational, stupid behavior.Hand her over to the chief inspector, and let her disappear from your life completely.

It couldn't go on like this, Carl knew exactly what he was doing, he was destroying himself.It was as if any intelligent cells in his brain had been killed, leaving only a raging flame burning, along his blood vessels to his heart, from his bones to his eyeballs, everything was burnt irritability.

One day, one and a half days, less than forty hours, his contented and stable life was turned upside down.He came on the ship to do business, and after he got off the ship, he still had an engagement banquet to deal with. He had a clear plan in his mind, and everything was arranged meticulously.

He is not a young boy, and he will not mess up his hands and feet because of a woman. To be correct, he has never messed up his hands and feet for any woman. Money can solve all difficulties.So he hadn't encountered any problems worth fussing about, and now he was holding the biggest problem he had in years.

It was so difficult that he was helpless.

Back in the room, carefully place the big puzzle on the bed.Then Karl sat on the edge of the bed and looked at her seriously with his chin on his hand.They were so close that Carl could hear her steady breathing, and tried to reach out and touch her cheek, it was soft and smooth, there was a rich shadow under her eyelashes, and her lips were a bloodless light color.He couldn't help but move his fingers down, and came to her white neck. The trembling pulse made his fingers rise and fall.

What does it feel like?It was like being possessed by a devil, or being cursed, completely uncontrollable, that horrible feeling grew unscrupulously, this evil emotion ran out of thin air, pierced his flesh and heart, desperately sucking his life force , making him unable to breathe, he could only cling to this pleasure, unable to move.

As he tightened his fingers bit by bit, Karl suddenly felt a little afraid of this kind of emotion he hadn't experienced before. The nature of the businessman made him want to avoid the crisis, and he should kill her.

She doesn't have a ticket, so as long as she handles it carefully, no one will know where she disappeared.

Use a little more force to destroy her.Karl's rationality is warning himself that this woman can manipulate you, she is a witch and a devil.She shouldn't be in his life, she can destroy everything.

After pinching his fingers for a long time, Carl held his breath, feeling like he was strangling himself to death.Then he realized that he hadn't pinched at all, his fingers were unbelievably stiff, not even the slightest mark was left on her fragile neck.

"This is wrong, huh." Carl showed a mocking smile, he reached out and touched the back of his neck in frustration, and finally lowered his head and muttered to the big problem on the bed, "This is wrong..."

This feeling is wrong, it is impossible.

He walked out of the room, ordered the maid to change clothes for Big Difficult, and then went to his wine cabinet to take out wine, trying to use alcohol to make himself more normal.Lovejoy came in with a dress in his hand.Karl looked at him blankly, shaking the wine glass with his hand, letting the spirits in the glass mix with the light of the day, turning into a kind of crystal clear ice.

"This is the stolen clothes of the lady. I got it back from the purser." Lovejoy's face was even more expressionless than his employer's, and the skirt in his hand looked torn and wrinkled. "I think the dress is useless."

"This is a new dress. Ruth hasn't worn it once." Carl said indifferently, but his eyes were fixed on the long skirt with the torn hem.Her brain had already automatically returned to yesterday, when she was sitting in front of the fireplace mirror, her slender fingers elegantly ran her long hair, and slowly coiled up the long hair that fell on the back of the skirt.She doesn't need any help from a maid, she's focused and serious.

"Obviously, she won't remember that she has this dress in her dozen boxes of clothes." The old poodle folded the skirt, and then planned to go out to dispose of the garbage.Before he could turn around, Carl had already said, "Just put the skirt here."

Lovejoy looked at him puzzled, Carl frowned, and looked aside unnaturally, his tone was hard and cold, "You go to the infirmary and call a doctor, go down."

The old poodle looked at the torn skirt in his hand, and finally put the skirt on the chair with weird eyes, and then walked out the door quickly, his mind automatically refused to imagine what his employer wanted this skirt for, anyway, he couldn’t Return the skirt to his fiancée.

Carl put down his wine glass when he saw no one, then hesitantly reached out to pick up the dress.The off-white long skirt has some black marks, which were made in the engine room or the cargo hold.The palm of his hand couldn't help touching the hem of the skirt, as if touching her thigh... Carl was agitated and suddenly woke up. He threw the skirt back on the chair with hot hands, and then turned his back as if nothing happened.

After a while, seeing no one around, he turned around and quickly rolled up the skirt a few times and stuffed it into his arms, then walked back and forth in the living room, trying to find a place to hide the skirt.Finally, he finally thought of the safe that he carried with him, walked to the small room where the safe was kept, opened the box familiarly, and did not wake up until he saw the dollar bills and documents and the jewelry box inside.

He actually wanted to stuff this ragged skirt into the box where he put important things. It was just a worthless ragged skirt.With an ugly face, he slammed the safe on, hugged the skirt and walked away.A few seconds later, he turned back automatically, turned the password again to open the box, then stuffed the skirt in, and pressed the money inside into a mess.

Like a guilty conscience, Karl immediately closed the door firmly, and then heaved a sigh of relief.

If he could, he really wanted to include that big problem, so he could run around with her.

After the doctor left, Carl walked into the room heavily, biting his cigarette. He barely understood what he was doing, and he tried his best to suppress his thinking. He didn't want to admit that he fell in love with a woman within two days.

And this kind of feeling is crazy, so crazy that even I feel scared.This kind of fear made him want to turn around when he came to the door, and fled to other places.Maybe this idea is right, he should pack up his things and run away immediately.When he raised his head, he bumped into a pair of light green eyes that were as clear as the Colorado River. The eyes were clearly like water, but they gave off a life force that could burn.

Karl heard the last bars of his heart fall, and those evil vines started from the bottom of his feet, climbed his thighs, grabbed his heart, and finally became a green cage to bind him in this flaming prison. in the river.

He heard his own heartbeat, slowly accelerating.He finally knew that he had nowhere to go, nowhere to escape.
