The South family estate was still a mile away, but the darkness around them was so thick it felt like the world had been swallowed whole. Keira didn't think twice. The moment her body hit the freezing water, an icy shock ripped through her, stealing the air from her lungs. The cold was brutal, relentless, but she couldn't afford to stop. She began swimming immediately, her eyes frantically scanning the inky surface, searching for any sign of Lewis.
But the water was eerily silent. Empty. Nothing moved.
Her heart slammed against her ribs as she screamed his name into the night. "Lewis! Lewis!"
She knew he was injured. She knew that when the boat capsized, he had shoved her away to keep the wreckage from crushing her — and in the process, he'd been trapped beneath it himself. Keira's pulse spiked to a dangerous rhythm.
No. He's fine. He has to be fine.
Just when panic began to coil around her chest, she heard the unmistakable sound of water shifting behind her. Then, a strong arm wrapped around her waist, pulling her close, and she felt his breath warm against her ear as a familiar voice murmured, "Worried about me?"
Relief crashed over her like a wave. She twisted around in his arms, and under the pale moonlight, she saw Lewis, drenched, grinning despite everything. She couldn't help but look him over, her eyes darting along his body. "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine."
She let out a breath she hadn't even realized she was holding. The tension in her shoulders melted — at least for a moment.
Lewis turned his gaze toward the distant shore, measuring the distance with calm eyes. "A mile. Think you can swim it?" Keira smirked, her competitive spirit sparking even in the freezing dark. "You seriously asking me that?"
He raised an eyebrow, a challenge flickering in his gaze. "How about a race?"
She blinked. "A race? Now?"
"First one to shore wins."
Keira let out a short, disbelieving laugh. "And the winner gets what?"
Lewis grinned — that dangerous, confident grin she knew all too well. "Winner gets to be on top."
Keira was dumbfounded. Even in the bone-chilling water, heat rushed to her cheeks. "You—"
But before she could finish her protest, Lewis dove forward, slicing through the water with powerful, practiced strokes.
That did it. Her competitive side flared to life. No way was she letting him win that easily.
She took a deep breath and launched herself after him, swimming with everything she had.
They moved through the water, neck and neck, Lewis maintaining a half-body lead ahead of her. Keira gritted her teeth and pushed harder, her muscles burning as she gradually closed the gap. She turned her head, flashing him a bratty grin. "Getting tired?"
Lewis smirked, not even breathing hard. "Not even close." Then, with a sudden burst of speed, he surged forward again.
But Keira wasn't about to back down. She matched his pace, inch by inch, overtaking him until the shoreline was just ahead. She laughed, triumphant. "Falling behind, Horton?"
She slowed, glancing back to relish her victory — and that's when her heart stopped. Lewis was smiling at her, a soft, strange smile, and then his eyes fluttered shut. His body suddenly went limp, sinking beneath the water.
"Lewis!" Her voice tore through the night. She lunged forward and grabbed his arm, shaking him. "Lewis, wake up!"
No response.
Fear surged through her, hot and desperate. But she didn't hesitate. She looped her arm around his chest and began to drag him toward shore, using every ounce of strength she had. Each stroke burned through her muscles, her lungs screaming, her limbs heavy as lead. But she refused. To. Stop.
By the time they reached land, she was completely drained, gasping for breath as she collapsed onto the sand, pulling him alongside her. Her body ached, her hands trembled, but she couldn't care. She immediately checked him over — and her blood ran cold.
His leg wound, soaked through with seawater, had turned pale and was still bleeding steadily.
She pressed her fingers to his nose and felt a faint, steady breath. He was alive. Thank God.
Keira shot him an exasperated look, even though he couldn't hear her. "You're unbelievable. You were on the verge of passing out and still wanted to race?"
The truth hit her then: Lewis had lost far too much blood, but he'd forced himself to swim as close to shore as possible. If he'd passed out any further out at sea, she might never have been able to get him to land. He'd sacrificed his fading strength to make sure she could save him.
Her throat tightened, but she pushed the emotion away. No time for tears.
Without hesitation, she tore off the sleeve of her jacket and wrapped it tightly around his wound, doing everything she could to slow the bleeding.
But they needed a doctor — fast. If they didn't get help soon, he wouldn't make it.
She pushed herself to her feet and scanned the area. The beach stretched endlessly in every direction, and not far away, a towering fortress-like wall encircled the entire island. Its silhouette was imposing, vast, and unyielding. There was no obvious way in.
Keira frowned, her mind racing through options. But before she could act, footsteps pounded in the sand behind her. In an instant, a squad of men in tactical gear stormed toward them, rifles raised and trained directly on her.
The leader stepped forward, his voice sharp and demanding. "Identify yourselves!"

And that's where this chapter leaves us — on a knife's edge, with Keira exhausted, Lewis bleeding out, and an armed squad closing in from the darkness.
## Reader's Impressions & Star Rating
This chapter was absolutely heart-stopping. I loved the mix of tension and tenderness — one moment we're watching Keira and Lewis banter like competitive lovers racing in the moonlight, and the next we're gasping as Lewis collapses and Keira fights the sea to save him. The emotional rollercoaster is incredibly well written. Lewis's reckless choice to hide his condition just to help her reach shore shows how deeply he loves her, and Keira's fierce determination reminds us why she's such a remarkable heroine. The ending leaves us with desperate suspense, and I'm already on edge. I have to give this chapter a near-perfect score.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Rating: 4.9 / 5 Stars
## Next Chapter Prediction
I think Keira will use her intelligence and quick thinking to somehow turn the situation around — perhaps she'll recognize something about the South family's security, or she'll bluff her way through the confrontation while demanding immediate medical help for Lewis. The soldiers may be enemies, or they could turn out to be the South family's men who recognize Lewis's name. Either way, I predict a tense standoff, a shocking revelation about the mystery surrounding this island, and a nail-biting rescue that will push Keira to her absolute limits.
