CELINE’S POV
When I thought about Brylee, my twin sister and the person who had killed
my mother, I came to a complete stop. She deserved to be punished! She
deserved to be hurt just as much as she hurt my mom! She didn’t bother
herself or show any care about our mother at all. She only cared for this man,
Sebastian Anderson!
After having that thought, I glanced back and saw that Sebastian was still
looking at me with his brows furrowed. The hatred I had been feeling
transformed into a sly grin on my face.
“Sebastian…” I whispered as I took a step forward and pressed my body
against his. My arms were wrapped around his neck, and I felt like I was going
to burst out laughing when I felt him stiffen even though his icy eyes
darkened. “Is it really true that you were a virgin?”
He groaned as he brought his fingers up to my chin and cupped it. “Do you

want to die, hmmm?”
“A*… Did I hit a nerve, Mr. Sebastian Anderson?” I smiled alluringly and
wiggled my eyebrows in a teasing manner. “It’s flaccid, isn’t it?”
The expression on his face Indicated that he didn’t understand what I was
saying, and at that point I burst out laughing. And that’s when he realized
what I was talking about.
“Celine…” he groaned. “Do you really think that by provoking me, I will sleep
again with you? No fucking way!”
Ouch! That hurts!
“Really…?” I chuckled. “Do you really think that I’m willing to let you do it again? Well, guess what? Your skills downright sucks, Mr. I am inexperienced.
I knew that nothing unsettled a man more than when a woman calls into
question of his manhood and masculinity. In addition to this, he considered

me to be his archenemy. However, this is the way I play. And he must be
aware of that…
At this same instant, there was complete silence; nonetheless, I was aware
that his rage was reaching its breaking point.
In point of fact, the very next second, I was hoisted off the ground and hefted
onto his shoulder, which caused the entire world to spin around me like a top.
“Hey!” I screamed. “What do you think you’re doing? Put me down!” But he
pretended as though he hadn’t heard me at all. “Put me down, you asshole!”
I flailed my arms and legs, punching his back but he didn’t even budge as he
strode into the deepest part of the forest. “Oh my God! What are you doing?”
Is he going to feed me to wild animals?
I was anxious, but I didn’t feel terrified because I knew that even if I went
missing, no one would come to look for me.
However… this is an excellent idea to annoy Brylee. I maintained my silence

as I opened the phone that I was still holding. I smiled for the camera, and
took a picture of myself while Sebastian carried me on his shoulder, I made
sure that I got a good side profile shot of him so that Brylee wouldn’t think
that it’s not her boyfriend who’s carrying me.
As I pressed the button to send the photo to Brylee, a grin spread across my
face. Let’s see what kind of response she gives if she happens to see this.
“You asked for this? I’m going to give it to you!” I heard Sebastian say and I
couldn’t help but giggle quietly.
AUTHOR’S POV

“We’ve got no choice but to get back into the hotel right away!” Suddenly, Mr.
Lee yelled out in a state of terror. “It looks like there’s going to be a
tremendous storm!”
The sun couldn’t be seen because of the thick clouds that were covering the

sky, and the sea breeze was acting quite strangely. Mr. Lee recommended
that they leave the area as soon as possible because the repercussions of
being there were impossible to fathom.
However, as they were packing up their belongings, they became aware that
two persons had not shown up.
“Where’s Celine?” Jake asked as his eyes were searching around.
“Mr. Anderson has been missing as well!” Everyone’s attention was obviously
different from Jake’s. Celine was never a concern of theirs at any point.
“Sebastian! Seb!” The terrified screams of Brylee could be heard. “Where on
earth is Seb?”
After a short while, Brylee’s phone began to buzz, and she saw that she had
received a message from her sister, which was addressed as “Nobody.”
As soon as she opened the photo message, her pupils contracted, and she
gripped her phone even more tightly as rage began to consume her. At that

precise moment, Brylee felt herself beginning to panic.
“I will not leave until I do not find Sebastian!” She declared, yelling at Jake
while grasping his arm. “You’ve got to move it, Jake! Let’s look for the two of
them!”
“Hey! Why is everyone freaking out?” Jake chuckled. “Of course… we’re going
to look for them. I won’t allow anyone else, especially Celine, to be left behind
on this deserted island…”
Everyone started looking around and calling out their names as if they were
lost.
Jake pulled out his phone and attempted to make a call to Celine, but he
was unable to do so because he was unsure whether or not the absence of a
signal was caused by the weather.
Despite this, the weather continued to deteriorate. After observing the
strange waves on the water’s surface and the slow lowering of the dark
clouds, Mr. Lee’s countenance exhibited clear signs of concern. Because he
had been here before, he was familiar with the conditions that prevalled
during a storm at this location.
“We have no choice except to depart right away! If that doesn’t work out,
we’re going to be stranded on this island!” Mr. Lee Instantly came to a halt
and didn’t proceed ahead.
“No!” Almost immediately, Brylee voiced her opposition. “Seb has not yet
made his way back. I can’t just leave this island without him! Are you going to
take responsibility if something bad happens to my fiancé?”
They looked at each other in turn. Everyone wanted to get out of there, but
nobody dared to say anything about it. They were friends of Sebastian’s, and
the most of them wore partners in business ventures.
“But, if we don’t leave right away, the storm will make no one to leave.
Nobody can give us any assurance that we won’t be in danger while we’re
here!” Mr. Lee explained and everyone seemed to agree except for Brylee
who wasn’t paying attention to what Mr. Lee was saying. Her thoughts were Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

occupied thinking about what would Celine and Sebastian be doing just now.
“Miss Lauren…”
“I don’t care! I have to find Seb as quickly as possible! Otherwise, no one will
leave this island!” She yelled in a very loud voice.
“Bry…” Mia comforted her by holding her arm and assuring her that
everything was going to be all right. “What if Mr. Anderson and your sister had
already gone back to the hotel?”
“No fucking way!” she exclaimed. “Why would he go back with her?”
“That’s right, Brylee…” another girl interrupted. “Maybe they leave first. I
noticed earlier that your sister isn’t feeling well. Maybe he rushed her back to
the hotel so that she could get some rest…”
“Why don’t we check the yachts to see whether it’s still there?” Mia’s
boyfriend made the suggestion, and they all unanimously agreed to do it.
“Yes. And if the yachts are still there, we’ll go back and look for them…” Mia

was able to reassure her, and now she has no choice but to concur with her
assessment.
The sky was dark and dreadful, every second that’s been wasted would bring
a second closer to danger. The island was deserted and in the event of an
accident, the loss would be greater than the benefit. So everyone went back
to the beach right away.
And as they all cast their gazes on the water, their eyes brightened when
they noticed that there were now only two yachts waiting for them.
“They left! They must have gone back first! If that’s not the case, how are
they going to explain the missing yacht?”
“Let’s head back to the hotel!” Brylee abruptly changed her mind. “Let’s get
back! Now!”
“Wait!” Jake was looking at his phone at the time he stopped her. “Shall we
check it out and contact the hotel to
