His Domineering Lover
Chapter 703

Vaughn began again, "Remember, you're not here to have fun."

"I can spare you and feed you, but as an exchange, you must cook and do the laundry and cleaning."

"What!" Renee's voice raised. She had never done any chores in her whole life.

Even after being expelled from the Xia family, she had clothes sent to the laundry and food delivered from restaurants. Her life in Bradly's house had been good.

She couldn't believe it and shouted, "Don't even dream about it. I haven't even done those things at home. Let me go."

"Miss Xia, right? The first lesson you should learn is that I have absolute power on this ship. Do what I said or I'll feed you to sharks."

A creepy smile hovered over his lips and his frosty eyes were glittering with bloodthirsty light. He was not joking.

Renee bit her lip and suppressed her anger. Tracey would wind up with the same fate, she comforted herself, as long as she was alive, she got hope.

"Luke, take her an orientation. Get water and food quickly after reaching the port. Don't let her escape."

"Yes, captain."

Vaughn seemed to think of something and added, "Ask Amiyah to buy some daily necessities for women, especially clothes."

Renee lowered her head and followed Luke out.

"The ship has a crew of more than fifty."

"You may despise us but believe me, no one wants to be a pirate if there's a better choice."

"Please let me go. My mom is waiting for me." Renee pleaded.

Luke was the only one kind to her on this ship. Perhaps he would relent if she begged him hard.

With his help, she could escape when they reached the next port.

"Miss Xia, I answer to my captain on this ship. I can't betray him. But don't worry. Even pirates have scruples."

"Vaughn is not a bad man and he might release you if you ask nicely when he's in a good mood. Going against him will get me killed." Luke said.

It was a very small port that they got to.

Big harbor would bring unwanted troubles for the pirates.

"Luke, I know you have a kind heart. Please let me call my mom to tell her I am safe. We're in port now and there must be a phone signal."

"Well...okay, but you only have a minute and I'll be by your side. You are not allowed to say a word about us."

Luke was very prudent. He couldn't endanger all the crew for Renee.

"I know." Renee thought of Carmen's gentle face when she'd left home yesterday. She didn't want her to worry.

Luke handed a phone to Renee. He barely used it on the sea.

She snatched it over as she was afraid Luke would go back on his words and called her mother. Every second waiting for the call to get through was like an hour.

"Mom."

"Renee, whose phone is it? I thought it was a scam call." Carmen sounded as usual.

"Mom, I planned to travel with a few friends for a period of time. We are on the sea and mobile phone service is poor. Don't worry if I don't pick up. I will call back when I reach land." "Travel? Where are you going? You're not coming back this morning?" Carmen asked in confusion.

"Mom, it's kind of last-minute. Don't panic if you see any news. I'm fine." People would find out their missing sooner or later.

There might already be reports about their deaths now.

"Hmm? What news?"

"Anyway, don't believe the tabloids. I'm on a ship with my friends. If you don't believe me, I can send you a photo."

"Fine, take care and have a good time." Carmen felt perplexed.

But everything would make sense when she watched the news later.

"Bye." Renee hung up the phone and looked at Luke with a pleading face. "Luke, I need to take a photo to convince my mom."

"Okay, but no background." Luke had families himself so he sympathized with her.

"Thank you." Renee took a selfie with the sea as background.

Luke checked the photo meticulously to make sure there were no recognizable signs on it before sending it out.

Renee also wanted to call Rocco, but Luke refused. "One minute is over."

He took his phone back and threw the SIM card into the sea. "Is that necessary?" Renee asked.

"Pirates can never be too cautious. The navy has a sensitive nose." Luke explained. He could have been an agreeable friend if he hadn't been a pirate. "Well, can I call my mom again in a few days?"

"I can't promise that," Luke answered.

Carmen felt something off with Renee, but she couldn't name it.
