The strength gap between them was overwhelming No matter how much she struggled, it was useless. She felt like a brittle leaf caught in a storm, powerless against the force pelling her under

She thought, No. I can’t go back. If the Jackson family handed me over to William. I wouldn’t make it out alive.

She had already lived through his cruelty once. That time had nearly broken her. If she fell into his hands again, there would be no esaje

A surge of desperation overtook her. She turned to the crowd at the ticket gate, her voice raw and piercing I don’t know him! He’s a traffickert Help me-

Her cries echoed through the cavernous train station, sharp and desperate enough to make heads turn.

People hesitated. A few moved as if to intervene. But Harry cut them of with a single sentence.

She’s my sister,he said, his voice calm, deliberate She had a fight with our family and is running away from home. Are you sure you want to get involved?

The hesitation in the air deepened.

Harry stood tall, dressed in an impeccably tailored black suit that exuded authority and wealth. Every inch of him carried the effortless confidence of someone used to being in control. He did not look like a trafficker.

I’m not his sister! I’m not- Camila’s voice cracked, her eyes red, tears spilling down her face.

But no one moved. Hopelessness clawed at her chest. But she refused to give in

Chapter 14

Camila clung to that flicker of hope, her voice trembling with emotion. Mom, help mer

The woman moved. Without hesitation, she surged forward. propelled by something deeper than reasonpure instinct.

And she wasn’t alone. Across the train station, womenyoung and oldturned at the sound of Mom, help me.

The woman reached Camila first, stepping between her and Harry. She grabbed his wrist and wrenched it away from Camila, her voice sharp and commanding What do you think you’re doing? You’re not taking her anywhere!

Caught off guard, Harry staggered back a step, his face twisting in frustration. This is a family matter. Stay out of it.”

But the woman didn’t budge. She shielded Camila with her body, her stance unshakable, her voice fierce. I don’t care what it is. All I know is, my daughter is screaming for help.

Harry’s patience snapped. His hand shot out, reaching for Camila once again.

At that moment, a swarm of women surged forward, encircling Harry.

“You look all high and mighty, but who knew you were a damn human trafficker?

Traffickers deserve a beating! Hit him! Hit him!

A fierce wave of maternal instinct had ignited among them. They kicked and shoved him, their anger overflowing. Any chance of him grabbing Camila again was long gone.

For the first time in her life, Camila felt protected. As she was overwhelmed, her tears fell even harder.

The older woman who had shielded her earlier patted her back gently, her voice warm and soothing. There, there, sweetheart. If you don’t want to go with your brother, then you don’t have to.”

Camila’s sobs came to an abrupt halt. Through her tearfilled eyes, she stared at the woman in shock. Youyou knew he wasn’t a trafficker?

The woman gave her a knowing smile. That suit he’s wearing? Custommade, at least six figures. And that watch on his wrist! A Vacheron Constantinworth over 300 thousand dollars. No human trafficker dresses like that.”

Camila glanced toward Harry. Sure enough, he was still trapped in the middle of the enraged crowd, unable to break free. Thenwhy did you help me?Camila asked.

The woman reached out, brushing a comforting hand over her head. Because you didn’t want to go. And even if he is your brother, he has no right to force you.

Family isn’t about blood, just because someone is related to you doesn’t mean they’re good for you. If your socalled family only brings you pain, then they aren’t family at allthey’re just shackles, holding you back.

You have every right to walk away. You don’t owe them anything.

A child who is truly loved wouldn’t be this thin, this frail, I don’t know what you’ve been through, but I can tell it must hay been unbearable. Otherwise, you wouldn’t be this desperate to escape.

Camila’s tears broke free like a dam bursting. The understanding, the kindness she had begged for from her own familyshe was receiving it from a stranger

Thank

you. T

Thank youShe could barely get the words out, choking on emotion.

The woman didn’t hesitate. She pushed Camila forward. Run, sweetheart. As far as you can. Never let the people who hurt you find you again.

Camila met her eyes one last time before turning and bolting toward the station exit. She forgot her leg was injured. She forgot the pain. There was only one thought hammering in her mindrun

If Harry had been able to track her to Neelum City Railway Station, he could just as easily figure out she was headed for Glares City. That meant Glares City was no longer an option. Her ID was compromised. She couldn’t use it again.

She had to disappear. Even if it meant scavenging for food or begging on the streets, she would get as far away from Sancho as possible.

Behind her, she heard Harry’s voice shouting her name. She didn’t stop. This time, she would escape. The train station exit was just ahead. Hope flared in her chest.
