A sharp, pounding pain throbbed in his head, and the unfamiliar surroundings only added to his growing disorientation.

Slowly, the fog of unconsciousness began to lift from his mind. His expression twisted into one of displeasure and confusion. The first thing that struck him was the shocking realization of where he was-and why. Jensen, the proud and composed CEO of Luke Corp, had been kidnapped right from the sanctuary of his own home. To make matters worse, he hadn't even caught a clear glimpse of his assailant's face during the attack. The thought alone was infuriating beyond belief. "You're awake?" a voice said softly.

Jensen's initial impulse was to push himself up and take control, but his body felt weak, almost powerless. At that moment, a voice, faintly familiar yet unexpected, caused him to narrow his eyes in suspicion. He instinctively turned his head toward the sound. "It's you? You're the one who brought me here?" he asked, disbelief and anger mingling in his tone. He had never imagined that Rachel would be the first person he'd see upon regaining consciousness. Wasn't this woman somehow connected to his mother? What could be her purpose in abducting him?

Was she trying to use him as leverage against his mother? The questions swirled relentlessly in his mind. Jensen was still clad in his pajamas-comfort wear he had chosen for a quiet evening at home, never anticipating that he might be snatched away from that very place. He looked at Rachel with unmistakable disdain. "Listen carefully," he said coldly, "if you have grievances with my mother and think you can use me to threaten her, you've seriously miscalculated. I won't allow that to happen. You'd better understand who I am-I'm not someone you can cross lightly.

If you're wise, you'll let me go right now, and I'll act as if none of this ever occurred. Otherwise, the consequences will be far worse than you can imagine." The icy contempt in Jensen's gaze stabbed deep into Rachel's heart. Her mind involuntarily drifted back to the terrifying moment on the high seas when Jensen had nearly ended her life. Rachel's chest tightened with a sharp, wrenching ache. Her son-the child she had carried for ten long months-was now standing before her, seemingly siding with another woman, indifferent to her pain.

Her eyes burned fiercely red, and her steps faltered slightly, betraying her inner turmoil. Jensen noticed her unsteady approach and immediately bristled. "What are you doing? I'm warning you-if you touch me, I swear I'll make your life miserable!" he snapped. Rachel's frustration finally spilled over. "What nonsense is that?" she shouted. All these years, she had endured the longing, the silence, the absence, sacrificing her own desires to secure a bright future for him within the Luke family.

Yet now, faced with this stranger who bore Jensen's face but none of his warmth, she struggled to suppress the flood of conflicting emotions his coldness stirred within her. Her eyes reflected a complex storm of feelings, which only deepened Jensen's frown. "How did you manage to kidnap me from my own house and bring me here?" he demanded. His memory sharpened. He lived at Grand Pavilion. Natalie hadn't returned, so he had been staying there, waiting for her. Grand Pavilion was equipped with the most advanced security systems. Even Sharon had failed to penetrate its defenses before.

How could Rachel, a middle-aged woman, have managed to sneak him out so silently? Did his mother know he was missing? Would Hansel come looking for him? His thoughts raced in panic. Rachel caught the questions in his eyes, the alertness and suspicion. The pain in her heart deepened. "Don't you think we look alike?" she asked quietly. Jensen scoffed, "Who looks like you? You look poverty-stricken." His words cut through Rachel like a blade, deep and cruel. "Are you here to extort money or demand a ransom?" he sneered. "A poverty-stricken look?

Do you really think I kidnapped you for that?" "Then what else do you want from me?" Jensen's eyes sparkled with derision. Rachel's gaze burned with intensity, causing a shiver to run down Jensen's spine. "No way! Auntie, you don't want my body, do you? I'm telling you, I already like someone! Even if you wanted to, I wouldn't agree!" he declared, wrapping his arms tightly around himself as if to protect against some imagined violation. Rachel nearly choked on her own disbelief. What was happening here? Why did her son act like a clown? Is this the result of Loretta's upbringing?

Her anger toward Loretta surged. After all, Jensen was the CEO of Luke Corp. Even if he wasn't naturally cold or aloof, he shouldn't behave like this! Seeing the mixture of frustration and hesitation on Rachel's face, Jensen thought he had guessed her thoughts. "No way! You're shameless! You must be around the same age as my mother, yet you have these inappropriate ideas about me? I'm warning you-release me now. Maybe I can find a man for you, and we'll pretend this never happened. Otherwise, I won't let you off easily." "Shut up!" Rachel snapped, her anger boiling over.

She truly wanted to have a proper conversation with Jensen, to reveal his true identity. But in this moment, with things as they were, how could she even begin? Conclusion The tension between Jensen and Rachel hangs heavy in the air, a painful reminder of the fractured bonds and misunderstandings that have shaped their relationship.
