CELINE’S POV
We sailed for an hour before reaching the vast and desolate island in the
middle of the ocean. When I looked around, I noticed that this island had not
been developed yet, which meant that its value was quite high.

higher than that of the other well–known islands.
However, because this island wasn’t so far from the hotel, it would be made
available for everyday exploration and new experiences. According to what
Jake had explained to me earlier, I believe that purchasing this place was
definitely money well spent.
I had just gotten off the yacht when my stomach began to turn, and I couldn’t
help but throw up. Lo and behold, I was both seasick and airsick.
“Celine… are you okay?” Jake inquired as he gently caressed my back before

offering me a bottle of clean water.
“Yeah…” I forced a smile on my face even though I wasn’t feeling too good. If I
had known that something like this would occur again, I never would have
gone on this expedition.
After everyone disembarked the yacht, the excitement that had been
building up could be evident in their eyes.
“Wow! This place is very beautiful!” Mia exclaimed, and then she and her
circle of close friends immediately started taking photos together.
“Let’s go explore first and then come back to eat later!” a blonde– haired man shouted and his friends seemed to have no objection.
A man named Mr. Lee from the hotel immediately led the way, as he was the
most experienced person on the island and acting as a manager of Diamond Resort. Jake said, we would be much better off if we were led by him if we
didn’t want to get lost.

Everyone else followed in his footsteps and went further into the remote
island where the only things we saw were endless stretches of white sand,
gigantic trees, wildflowers, and some wild creatures. After an hour of roaming
and looking around, we were finally able to settle down and relax, with the
possible exception of a few birds crowing and one or two snakes that might
have been lurking nearby,
After some time had passed, Mia’s group requested a break since they were
beginning to feel exhausted, “It’s so exhausting…” she mumbled to herself,
“There’s nothing exciting about this trip…” She was sitting next to the man who
she said was her new boyfriend and who she had kissed that evening during
our game of truth or dare.
“I wouldn’t come here even if you offered me a million dollars to spend on this island!” Another woman who was plainly unhappy with the place either.
“You are welcome to take a break and have something to eat first, and then we will carry on with the journey later on…” Mr. Lee commented, and it
dawned on me that despite the fact that he was already In his fifties, he was

physically able and didn’t seem to mind moving around.
After hearing this, everyone began taking their belongings out of their bags
and backpacks. I heaved a sigh as I made my way to an area that was less
overgrown in order to escape the hateful looks that Mia and her friends,
including my sister, were casting in my direction.
“It’s okay if you take a break for a little bit…” I turned around and heard Jake
behind me. “They brought a significant quantity of food. Come and have a
bite to eat…” He extended his hand to take mine, but I declined to accept it.
“I’m not hungry…” I murmured, looking around, avoiding his eyes. I was
surprised to see that the island was not located in a very isolated location.
The only positive aspect was how large it was, considering how few plants
and animals were present.
“Mr. Harvey!” Someone gave him a call. “There’s something important that I
have to tell you!”
He signaled to hold still by raising his palm and waiting a moment before he
questioned me. “Are you sure you’re not hungry?”
“Yeah “I nodded with a small smite. “You should go. It seems as though he
wants to tell some important information to you…”
“Mr. Harvey!” the man called out again.
“I’m coming!” He yelled back and then went up to him after lightly patting me.
on the shoulder.
I continued to travel further by myself, and while I did so, I kept staring at the
ocean. I couldn’t help but think about the island where I had been living
before my mother passed away. And of course, I think about mom, too…
“I miss you, mom…” I was so caught off guard that I didn’t even notice the
tears that were already rolling down my cheeks. I wanted to forget
everything horrible that had occurred to me over the last few days, so I
moved faster and was about to run when someone grabbed my wrist.
“Where do you think you’re going?” I was stunned for a moment, and even

Theaved a sigh, wiped away my tears, and turned around, only to be
confronted by his dark gaze. I glanced behind me, but I could no longer find
them. It seemed as though I have gone astray!
“What kind of ruse are you playing on me now?” He asked the question, his
eyes were dull and uninterested, and his tone was incredibly condescending.
Obviously, he was still angry about what happened last night.
I grimaced, retracted my hand, and looked at him with a stony expression.
“Aww… you’re worried about me now?” I scoffed. “If you’ve got so much time
on your hand, why don’t you take care your fiancée instead of minding my
own business?” I snapped as I left him again.
