A/N: You might get frustrated with both our characters from this chapter to the next but bear with it hehe. Thank you for understanding!
Nassandra’s POV
My eyes fluttered open due to the rays of the morning sun hitting my sight.
I covered the light since it’s making my head ache.
That’s where I felt Keian tightened the way he wrapped his arms around me.
” Hmmm. Nassandra, let’s sleep moreee” He said in a husky tone.
I grabbed my phone to check what time it is.
7:00 AM
I had just woken up and I’m not feeling hazy anymore.
“I’ll just cook us some breakfast, just stay here and enjoy your sleep okay?” But Keian just made sure he tightens his grip around me.
Haystt.
” Nooooo. I’m sleepyyy. I’m always waking up early. This is the longest sleep I’ve ever had. I wanted it to last longer, so please stayyy” I sighed and returned the cuddle to him.
Despite his eyes being close, he planted a kiss on my forehead and smiled while going back to his deep slumber.
When I heard his soft snoring, I carefully stood up from my position away from him.
I am just not that sleepy anymore and I needed to cook us something to eat for breakfast.
I’ll just let him sleep a little more longer. He deserves all that rest. I pecked his kissable lips and went out of the tent.NôvelDrama.Org content rights.
Yeah, we kinda slept in the tent.
Keian was the one who suggested for us to sleep in the tent. Besides, I also wanted to experience what it’s like to sleep in there.
We were outside the house all night yesterday, in front of the bonfire, chatting and conversing as if we’re just knowing each other more.
It makes my heart melt.
It felt so good.
That moment and expressing your emotions to a person so precious in your life.
I haven’t experienced that in such a long time.
I’m glad Keian’s here with me.
I closed the zipper of the tent.
It’s not that hot inside, as a matter of fact, it became cold due to the air outside.
I cleaned up our mess from last night that we forgot to tidy up and went to the house.
I was still wearing the bikini but I wrapped myself with Keian’s polo and short shorts.
Before cooking, I changed my clothes first.
” Nassandra!” I suddenly felt nervous when I heard someone calling my name.
Isn’t this supposed to be a private island?!
I turned to where the voice might come from.
Not that far from where I was standing, I saw someone wave their hands by a boat and it was…
” Lemuel?” He smiled and ran in my direction.
“Why are you… here?” I hesitantly asked.
He scratched the back of his head.
“I know this is a private island but I just wanted to come by and talk to you.” I furrowed my eyebrows at him but smiled warmly.
“Have you been waiting here all the while?”
“Not really… I promise! I stayed there while waiting for you guys to wake up. I didn’t roam around and barged in the house.” He raised his hand as if he really swore what he just said.
I smiled widely.
He’s still the same happy-go-lucky guy that I remembered all those years ago.
” I know, Lem. You want to go inside the house? I’ll just change my clothes, Keian is still asleep so we can exchange words for a while.” The smile on his face brightens up.
” Okay, Nass!”
I invited him inside and gestured for him to sit on the sofa while I go change my clothes.
As I got to wear proper clothes, I went back to Lem who seemed very amazed at everything he’s seeing.
“Beautiful, isn’t it?” He turned to me.
“Ay, yes. Very…” I opened my mouth when he said that while looking at me.
I laughed
“Oh, you.” He also laughed along.
“Won’t your husband be mad at me staying here?” I thought for a while.
I had already explained to him everything about Lem and I know he understands that. I hope Keian doesn’t go nuts with this.
“Probably not. Besides, you’re my friend. And I know you won’t do anything unworldly.” He smiled, showing all of his white teeth.
” Thank you, Nass! You’re really a kind person anytime!” I sat beside him and held both of his hands.
“I should be the one thanking you, Lemuel. If it weren’t for you, I might’ve already died on the streets. I haven’t thanked you enough so I wanted to express my gratitude multiple times….” He squeezed my hands.
“Anyone who would see you in that situation will gladly help you…”
“That’s not true. That’s why I’m thanking you a bunch.” I let go of his hands and waved mine in front of him.
“Don’t think about that. It’s all happened a long time ago, you have a good life now and someone special with you. Let’s talk about something else shall we?” I giggled at his words as I feel the burden got lighter.
” Thank you for—” My eyes widened and I immediately ran to the bathroom.
” Nassandra?!” I heard Lem following me to the bathroom while I puked on the toilet.
Ughh.
Lem rubbed my back continuously while I continued vomiting. He also swept away my hair so I won’t puke anything on it.
” Sorry,” I said as soon as I was done.
I went over to the sink to wash my mouth.
I also brushed my teeth, since it was very embarrassing…
“It’s okay… You’re actually pregnant? Hehe. I didn’t notice that.” I smiled and because of this I suddenly felt dizzy.
“Hey, are you alright? Look likes— ow!” My eyes widened once again as I saw Lem was punched against the wall while Keian held him by the collar of his shirt.
” What the f— are you doing in our house!?” Keian angrily shrieked.
I intended to go over to stop them but Keian narrowed his eyes at me.
” You! You let him in here?! What are the two of you doing huh?”
“We’re not doing anything, Keian. Lemuel just came by to visit.” Kei lifted Lem higher to the wall and it seemed like he was already choking him.
” You are trespassing, bastard! Didn’t you know this is a private island?!”
“I-I am aware, I-I’m sorry.” Keian’s jaw tightens.
He banged Lem at the wall.
My heart skips a beat. Lem is getting hurt.
” Are you planning something against Nass?! Don’t you know me? I can kill you and all of your loved ones without mercy. I can make your life hell. So tell me, why are you here?” Keian lets out every word with emphasis.
His eyes were filled with anger along with his commanding aura.
Even I was scared of Keian’s threat.
” Keian! He’s not going to do anything bad! Haven’t we already talked about this last night? I thought you already understood?” I stated out loud bravely.
Keian loosened his grip a bit and looks at me.
” He could’ve hurt you, Nass. I don’t want that” he said in a sweet but cold voice mixed together.
” But he didn’t. So put him down Keian.” He stared at me with narrowing eyes and I didn’t hesitate to return that look to him.
A few seconds later, his jaw loosened while harshly putting Lem back on the ground.
Keian walks away from the man and pointed at the door.
” Get out, before I kill you. And don’t ever plan to come here again” Lem quickly nodded and cast a glance at me.
I mouthed ‘sorry’. He lets out a reassuring smile before dashing out of the house.
” Je ne peux pas y croire. Mes hommes l’ont laissé mettre le pied sur notre île. Et elle l’a même laissé entrer dans la maiso(I can’t believe it. My men let him set foot on our island. And she even let him in the house)” I glared at a mumbling in French Keian.
“You do know I can understand French, right?” He stopped.
” Stop it Keian, I just invited him inside for a while. It’s respect and good hospitality. Why do you have to react like that?” His eyebrows met in unison.
