Chapter 11
Luke continued to walk towards Mary. She tightened her grip on Nikolas.
"I mean it! Stop right there or he dies!" she yelled.
"You won't kill him," Luke said.
How can you be so sure of that?"
"Because if you hurt him, Helena would kill you. Nikolas is her grandson."
"Nikolas? This is Nikolas?" she asked staring at him.
Luke nodded.
Mary looked around like she wasn't sure what to do. Finally she dropped the knife and shoved Nikolas towards Luke and Gia.
"Now, where is my wife?" Luke asked.
"I don't know and I wouldn't tell you if I did."
Luke was getting angry. "You're coming with us!" he said.
"No I'm not," Mary said defiantly.
"You're either coming willingly or I'll…" Luke said making a fist.
Mary walked up to the three of them. "I've heard a lot about you, Luke Spencer, but I never thought you were the type of man who could hit a woman."
Luke put his hand down. "You're right. I can't hit a woman."
Mary smiled believing she had won.
"But I can," Gia said punching her.
Nikolas picked her up after she fell unconscious to the floor.
"Let's get out of her," Luke said checking to make sure no one was watching.
He and Gia left the room, Nikolas followed them carrying Mary.

Meanwhile on Helena's yacht, Laura and Lucky were still in the cargo hold.
"What do you mean it's locked?" Laura asked. "Why did you lock it?"
"I didn't," Lucky protested. "It's locked from the outside." He came back down the ladder and stood beside her.
"We have to get out of here. I have a bad feeling about this," Laura told him with a worried look. She climbed up the ladder to try the hatch.
While Laura and Lucky were trying to get out of the cargo hold, Helena's men were leaving in the lifeboats. The last man into the lifeboat set the yacht on fire.
