Micah was my adoptive parents' biological son. Before the Baker family discovered me, he doted me for more than ten years. He had even displayed my photos all over the bedroom, loving me in secret.

"Is your boss Micah Scott?"

"You've done your research. This entire casino is our boss's private property. There aren't many people who know about this."

I instantly calmed down and shouted at them, "Micah is my older brother. We are on the same team! Let me go immediately. I can explain the misunderstanding to him!"

Billy and his underlings exchanged glances with ambiguous taunts on their faces. He immediately lifted his foot and kicked me hard. "How dare someone who was abandoned pretend to be Ms. Giselle Baker? Bah! How presumptuous! Ms. Giselle is off-limits. Do you know what happened to the last person who tried to connect themselves to Ms. Giselle? It would scare you to death if I told you! Jack, bring me my stick. I am going to teach this audacious woman a good lesson for the boss!"

He kicked me until I felt dizzy and disoriented. Enduring the intense pain, I explained to him, "I'm Ms. Giselle. If you do not believe me, you can call Micah to confront me!"

Just then, Billy's phone rang. It was Micah calling.

I struggled free from the burly men's grasp and reached for Billy's phone. "Give me the phone. Let me talk to Micah. He will recognize me as soon as he hears my voice!"

Billy slapped me across the face, menacingly pointing at me and ordering me to shut up.

His men held me down again. Billy gave them a look and walked out. Then he answered the phone respectfully. "Hello? Boss, I was just dealing with a slut who will not pay her gambling debts. What do you have for me?"

I wanted to shout, but I only managed half a syllable before a rag was stuffed into my mouth.

"I told you to shut up, you stubborn woman!"

Someone pushed me to the ground, but the others surrounded me and started punching and kicking me.

I curled up like a shrimp, nearly fainting from the excruciating pain. My mouth was gagged, so I could not even scream.

Micah had always doted on me; even a small cut on my hand would worry him for days. He had spoiled me so much that I was arrogant and domineering. Even after being taken back to the Baker family, my personality prevented me from ever suffering any hardship.

I wondered what Micah's reaction would be if he saw me in this miserable state.

Just as I was feeling dizzy and about to collapse, Billy returned anxiously, phone in hand. "Stop! Stop right now!"

The continuous punches finally moved away from me.

"What happened, Chief?"

Billy glanced disdainfully at me. "Don't waste any more time on this woman. Boss said Ms. Giselle is missing. Her last appearance was at our casino. Hurry up and gather all the boys to look for her."

I was beaten so hard that my head was dizzy, and I froze upon hearing this.

Micah had been keeping an eye on my whereabouts even after I left, and he even noticed I was gone.

I propped myself up on my trembling arms and got up from the ground as I made a muffled sound with my mouth.

The lackey next to me kicked me and asked, "Shut up!”

“Chief, what should we do with this woman?"

Billy was solemn as if he were lost in thought. "Boss is already on the plane. He is coming to find Ms. Giselle himself. This woman just said she's Ms. Giselle. Well..."

My face immediately lit up with excitement. I thought, 'Great, Micah's coming! He'll not only rescue me but also punish these blind fools for me.'

However, Billy changed the subject. "We can't let Boss see her. He is in a panic right now because he cannot find Ms. Giselle. If this crazy woman jumps out claiming to be Ms. Giselle, she'll offend him, and he'll take his anger out on us."

"Chief, you're really wise. Should we send her away?"

Billy pinched my chin, looked me up and down, and clicked his tongue. "She's not bad looking. Lock her in the confinement room first. After Boss finds Ms. Giselle and leaves, we can train her to be a dealer to pay off her debt."

I shook my head frantically at this, thinking, 'They want me to stay and be a dealer? Wouldn't I be stuck on this island forever?'

However, nobody cared about my opinion. They dragged me away like an animal, heading toward the confinement room.

'No, Micah will be here soon! I must find a way to see him. This is my last chance. If I get locked up, I am doomed!' I anxiously thought.

As the two men threw me into the confinement room and prepared to lock the door, I stumbled to my feet and used all my might to ram open the door, which was not fully closed. Then, I grabbed a steel pipe from the ground and swung it hard at one of the men's heads.

He immediately clutched his head and collapsed to the ground in agony.

Before the other man could overpower me, I struck him across the face with the pipe.

After dealing with these two, my adrenaline surged, and I ran forward at a shocking speed, as if my life depended on it.

The sound of a helicopter rang overhead.

It was Micah! He was here!

I ran frantically toward the landing site of the plane and saw the cabin door open.

Micah stepped down the steps slowly.

My heart was pounding wildly, but a rough hand covered my mouth before I could make a sound. My hair was abruptly pulled immediately after.

"You brat. How dare you hit me? I think you have a death wish!"

It was the person I just hit on the head. He had actually caught up with me!

Billy was respectfully waiting to welcome Micah. Noticing the commotion here, he frowned as he looked this way and shook his head silently at the man.

The man immediately brought me to hide behind the wall.

Not far away, Micah had already disembarked the plane, looking tired and worried.

Billy immediately stepped forward." Boss, we have retrieved all the surveillance footage as you instructed. We’ll find clues about Ms. Giselle."

"To the control room." Micah strode forward, brushing past me. We were separated only by a wall.

He suddenly stopped, clenching his fist. It was as if he were saying to me or perhaps to himself, "Giselle, nothing must happen to you."

My face was smeared with tears and blood. He was right in front of me, yet I could not even make a sound.

I was eventually locked in the confinement room.

To prevent my escape, they dislodged my arms, tied my legs, and gagged me again with a rag.

For the next few days, Micah never came.

The underground casino was dark. Considering that Jeremy had kept me in the hotel all those days, the security cameras probably had not captured my face.

My hope slowly faded.

One morning, I heard hurried footsteps and Micah's voice.

"Boss, how can you be sure that person is Ms. Giselle just from her back? Could you be mistaken? She's just a nobody dumped here to pay off debts."

Micah's voice was urgent, tinged with panic. "Stop talking nonsense. Where did you keep her?"

"Right... right in the confinement room ahead."

He recognized me!

A glimmer of hope rose within me, and I tried to make some noises to get Micah's attention. However, the footsteps stopped just ten steps away.

"Mr. Scott, I just confirmed with Ms. Giselle's fiancé. He said Ms. Giselle has returned home; she wasn't missing at all." It was Micah's assistant's voice.

"Where's she located?"

"Also, within the country. It shows she returned three days ago, but it just synced due to signal issues."

Jeremy took my phone with him before leaving with Viola; it had the GPS tracker Micah had installed for me. He was trying to mislead Micah with the phone's GPS location!

Billy advised ingratiatingly, "Boss, you must be mistaken. There is no way that woman could be Ms. Giselle!"

Micah instructed his assistant, "Contact the captain immediately to prepare for returning home. I won't feel at ease until I see Giselle with my own eyes."

"Yes, Mr. Scott."

Hearing Micah turn around to leave, I could not be bothered. I slammed my head against the iron door of the confinement room with all my might and made a loud bang.

Micah stopped and asked frigidly, "Who's locked up in here?"
