Lie Flat, Sugar Daddy

He went back to the room first, after he opened the door he saw that the room was cleaned up, the bed sheets were changed, but he didn't find her. Jensen went out again to look for her. The four-decks cruise ship were quite big, so they even asked some of the staff to help search the toilets, but more than half an hour passed by, and she was not found yet.

It was about 10 in the afternoon, even though it was still quite warm during the day, but it was a bit chilly at night, especially as now that they were far out of the sea, the temperature was much colder than it was in the city.

"What is going on? This ship isn't that big, how come a person couldn't be found?" The business partner was getting anxious. Someone was disappeared on his cruise ship, even if Jensen didn't vent his anger, he reckoned he was responsible to this accident, to some extent.

"Maybe she," someone blurted out, and then added, "...fell into the sea..."

After hearing so, everyone's face turned pale.

As Jensen heard that, his aura suddenly became even colder than the wind. The surveillance cameras on this ship were not turned on, because all the guests he invited to this dinner party was supposed to be his friends and business partners, some of who didn't attend with their wives, so in this case they wouldn't turn on the cameras. Thus Jensen could not find where Rae had gone off to, and maybe it was right that she fell into the sea.

If it was confirmed, after so many hours had passed, she must...

Everything indicated that an accident might have already happened.

The thought flickered in Jensen's mind, and despair suddenly chocked his words. as the followed chill and panic went to his heart.

Jensen's hands were clenched into fists, he could not believe it, he could never believe this possibility.

But they had searched all the decks of the whole ship, except for the control room.

Because there were only machines, no one except repairmen would go there.

When the business partner heard that, they turned around to look at Jensen.

Only to find this strong man, who was pale in his face, was trembling slightly if they looked closely. The business partner was frightened, because this accident happened right in his ship! He turned around and screamed to the staff, "Go look for her, search every corner!" Then he said carefully to Jensen, "Mr. Knight, why don't we go inside to wait, maybe Miss Jordan is only playing a game with you, we will surely find her..."

When Jensen heard that, he gave a glance at the man, and went upstairs without saying anything. He wanted to search the whole ship again.

This time, he would search everywhere, even the ladies bathroom or bedroom.

Time passed rapidly as he searched this time, especially because he was very careful, and suddenly it was 12.

The atmosphere on the ship gradually became more tense.

Just like the color of the sky.

It was so heavy that people couldn't breath.

Some of the staff had already gone back to their rooms because of the aura around Jensen, there were only a hand full of people who were still in panic. Sitting down on the couch, Jensen buried his fingers in his hair, with the other hand covered his eyes. His neck was red as he felt angry, helplessness and guilty.

He blamed himself that if he didn't go back to the room once in a while to check on her, then this would never have happened.

"What? You still haven't found her?" Stanley was supported by Lola, walking into the crowd, his voice was still weak from his illness.

The business partner shook his head looking at Stanley, then he reported to him, "We had searched the ship twice, and now they have sent a boat to search along the way we came, we still didn't receive a feedback... Mr. Barnes, you should have a rest in your room, if we hear anything I will immediately..."

"It's alright, I will wait here." Stanley heard his answer, and suddenly he was filled with seriousness. He looked at Jensen who was sitting silently on the side as if he was going crazy, Stanley sat down next to him and patted him on the back. Maybe he was too close so that Stanley noticed that Jensen's hands were wet, it seemed that those were...

Tears?

Those were tears...

When he thought of that, Stanley was suddenly touched, he looked at this man next to him, he never thought that he would cry...

But he cried.

Rae only disappeared for a few hours, no bad news from the crews on boats, so this meant good news. If the corpse floated on the surface, they would find it... That would be bad news.

But he was so frightened even there was no bad news, if it really...

Stanley immediately stopped thinking about those bad results, then he said in a strangely determined voice, "Don't worry, nothing will happened!"

Jensen didn't answer, he kept sitting in that position without moving.

He hadn't had this kind of a scary feeling in a while, it had been so long that he even forgot what it felt like, he never thought that tonight he would feel that again. He had got through so many times when he was about to lose her, he was too scared of that feeling, even though none of the past times were as dangerous as this time, but the feeling of losing her was the same. Besides that time when Heath got into trouble and Rae was regarded as the person owing the money and kidnapped by those guys, there were more times when he had this feeling when they were in school together.

During senior year in high school, Rae was often planning her future.

At the classes, on weekends, or when they were out, Jensen could often hear her talking about those plans with Eric. For example about how big the house she wanted, what color it should be in, settled in the old or new district or not, how did their baby room look like, in ocean blue or had a star ceiling, and even more she talked about the theme of her wedding...

When Jensen heard that, he was not only feeling bitter in his heart, but also scared.

He really hoped that time could just stop there, that it would never pass another second.

So that she would be far away from her plans, that she would never fulfill it.

But then, his dreams came true.

So how could she caught into an accident now...

She was always the one supported him and keep him going. If she wasn't there anymore, he would have thought about suicide because he had become insane due to his father. But just because of her, all those thoughts were killed off, he successfully survived one night after another.

But now if she was gone...

This made Jensen realize once again how much he loved her His love to her was more fierce than it was for normal couples, she was a beam of light in his dark lifetime, the only anchor for him to survive.

He waited another 20 minutes.

Every second passed so slowly.

Then they finally got some news.

But it was not from the people from the boat, it was from the responsible captain of the control room. They saw the captain suddenly appear at the door, saying, "We found her, she is locked in the room!" Everyone was excited!

Especially the business partner, thanks God they finally found her!

Everyone there suddenly looked towards that man who was about to go crazy, they saw that he was sitting on the couch just the past second...

Jensen went with the captain to the control room.

The room was totally different than the upper part of the ship, it was big, but filled with all kinds of machines, black pipes, and the room is really suffocating.

"... The storm will come in the

morning hours, so I wanted to

release some water into this area so

that the ship would keep balanced,

but I suddenly found a problem." The captain said to him while he was taking Jensen through the mess, they went towards that part while he kept talking, "But her condition is not well, because when it was 8pm, I let in some water for about 20 minutes, at least it was only half... maybe that was the reason of how she found a way to break one of the machine parts, so I noticed something strange, otherwise I might have filled the whole area with water, I can't imagine what might have

happened."

When Jensen heard all that, he was scared.

Thankfully the captain didn't fill the whole area at 8pm, thankfully she knew how to call for help...

But when he thought of her being in that water for 20 minutes, and the captain said that her condition was not good...

Jensen didn't dare delay, he walked faster.

They walked to a check where only one person could fit and the captain yelled, "I can't get her up by myself just now. I am familiar with the situation down there, stay here and help me when I ask." After saying so, the captain went down. All the staff that were down here were called to search earlier before, so when he found her there was no way to get her out immediately so he had to look for help.

"Hurry." Jensen said, his voice was hoarse, and he found himself was about to cry, for the immerse pain in his heart.

Two minutes later, the captain had brought Rae out from the small exit...

He was looking at that woman he had been looking for for hours, Jensen immediately knelt down and pulled her up!!!

Her body was hot.

Her temperature was madly high.

That was what Jensen felt when he

touched her. She was wet all over her body, her dong hair stuck in her face, and her breath was weak. After pulling her up, Jensen hugged her hot and wet body, he dare not delay taking her out and immediately left the control room. He went up and ran into Stanley who came down due to the news. Stanley wanted to ask how she was, when he saw her with closed eyes and strangely red face in Jensen's arms, wet all over, he knew that she couldn't be well.

"We have medicine, I will take it." Stanley said and turned to leave.

Lola saw how panicked Stanley was and said nothing.

Jensen didn't say anything either, he took Rae back to the room, and put her down on the bed, then he took off all of her clothes, and when he noticed the blood on her pants, he knew that her condition was worse than he thought."
