In another location, Natalie is seen bound, with her mouth tightly taped shut. At the moment, Natalie is losing consciousness, and her familiar pink bag still hangs from her body. Not far from where Natalie is tied up, Gadi is also seen smoking while contacting Maria. Currently, Natalie is in an empty building that appears very dirty, with trash and leftover construction wood scattered around.

"I've captured her. Can I get what you promised?" Gadi asks Maria through his phone.

"Don't worry, dear. After you take care of that wench, I'll invite you to the reserved hotel, and I'll bring the money for you," Maria replies while in her office. Maria then smiles cunningly, satisfied with her plan.

A little later, Natalie finally wakes up from her unconscious state. She feels a severe headache and confusion. She vividly remembers someone silencing her in the parking lot, causing her to fall unconscious.

Natalie tries to loosen the bindings on her hands, but in the midst of her efforts, Gadi enters and approaches her. Natalie quickly closes her eyes so that Gadi doesn't realize she's awake.

"Wow, she looks beautiful too," Gadi says while admiring Natalie's face, touching her cheek and stroking it. "Hah, Hans is really foolish to leave you, but Maria is not inferior to you. Should I taste you first and then visit Maria?" Gadi says, unaware that Natalie is conscious.

"What? Maria and Hans? Is this their doing? A few days ago, I met Hans, and there was nothing strange about him. Is this all Maria's doing?" Natalie monologues in her mind.

Gadi, seemingly wanting to touch Natalie's body, is thwarted by a call from Maria. "Argh, damn it!" Gadi grumbles in frustration, leaving Natalie and answering the phone.

Natalie, aware that Gadi has left, opens her eyes again. "Hah, thankfully someone called," she says, exhaling a sigh of relief. Natalie then tries to untie herself, and after some effort, she succeeds.

She attempts to run from the place while opening the cellphone in her pink bag. She presses the number 0 for an SOS call. The SOS message appears on Evan's phone screen as he drives his car.

After checking the message, Evan turns his car in the opposite direction. Natalie's SOS message includes her current location, making it easy for Evan and Ken to track her.

Meanwhile, Natalie, still in the building, tries to find a way out. When she discovers an exit, Gadi appears with a large piece of wood. "Where are you going, beauty? I'm impressed with you. You managed to untie the ropes, ha ha. Did I underestimate you by not tying them properly?" Gadi taunts while approaching Natalie.

"Don't come any closer!" Natalie sternly warns.

"Ha ha ha, you're cute. I'm tempted to finish you off right now!" Gadi says, showing his menacing face.

Gadi then aims the wooden block in his hand to strike Natalie's head. In this tense moment, Natalie grabs anything nearby, picking up a stone beneath her foot. She throws the stone directly at Gadi's face, breaking his nose and causing it to bleed.

During this distraction, Natalie runs as fast as she can to evade Gadi. However, Gadi, now on the ground with a bleeding nose, tries to get up and chase Natalie. "You wretch, you vile woman!" Gadi curses, holding his painful nose.

Natalie continues to run and finally finds another way out, but it leads to a balcony. The balcony isn't very high, but jumping from it would mean breaking her legs and arms to survive.

Behind Natalie, Gadi is ready to attack again. "Here you are. Do you want to jump? Go ahead, so I don't have to dirty my hands with your blood!" Gadi says, approaching Natalie.

As if finding no other option, Natalie decides to jump from the balcony. "I have to sacrifice one of my legs," she says to herself. The edge of Natalie's foot reaches the balcony's edge.

"Jump, if you have the guts!" Gadi urges, but just before Natalie leaps from the balcony, police sirens are heard in the distance.

"Evan," Natalie says, abandoning her intention to jump.

Upon the arrival of the police at the building, they rush in to search for Natalie. "Natalie!" Evan calls out while running around.

"Damn!" Gadi curses, surprised that the police have found their location. "I'll kill you!" Gadi says, aiming the wooden block at Natalie. However, Evan comes from behind and kicks Gadi, causing both of them to fall to the ground.

"Argh!" Gadi groans. Not wanting to be caught by the police again, Gadi jumps from the balcony, falling into the bushes, and quickly escapes to avoid the police.

"Evan!" Natalie calls out.

"Natalie!" Evan says, running and hugging Natalie. "Are you okay?" Evan asks, looking at Natalie.

"Um! I'm okay. I almost jumped from the balcony," Natalie replies.

Shortly after, Ken arrives, panting. "Forgive us. The culprit escaped. One of my men saw him jumping off the balcony. I'm sure his leg is broken, but he's like a monster, managing to escape from our pursuit," Ken explains to Evan and Natalie. "So, is your lover okay?" Ken asks, looking at Natalie.

"Uh, no, we're just, I mean," Evan appears nervous in responding to Ken's question. Realizing this, Natalie quickly intervenes.

"Oh, our relationship is not like that. Evan means everything to me," Natalie says with a smile.

"What's the difference with a lover?" Ken interjects, smiling at Evan as if he knows that Evan has feelings for Natalie.

...

After going through a lengthy ordeal, Natalie finally leaves the place and heads to the police station, while the officers continue their search for Gadi.

In Evan's car,

"Starting tomorrow, I'll accompany you wherever you go," Evan suddenly breaks the silence.

"W-what? It's not necessary. I was just caught off guard earlier. I should have realized someone was after me," Natalie tries to reject Evan's good intentions.

"What did you say? Natalie, you almost died twice! This is not something small that can be underestimated," Evan says, visibly upset by Natalie's response.

"Okay, do whatever needs to be done. Regardless of all that, I'm curious about who is behind all this. Maybe Hans? But everything seems fine with him," Natalie speculates.

"Maria. I'm sure that devilish woman is behind this," Evan answers, staring ahead.

"Maria?" Natalie is shocked. Her body shivers as she contemplates what Maria might have done to her, trying to take everything from Natalie, even her life.
