Hey there, dear readers! I wanted to drop a quick note to let you know that the release of new chapters has been a bit slow lately. I sincerely apologize for that, and I want to assure you that I'm committed to improving and bringing you more content in the coming days. Your support means the world to me, and I'm looking forward to hearing from all of you in the comment section. Thank you for your understanding, and see you in the next chapter!
No, what makes you think that I’m going to stay here and wait? I’m going with you. What if you plan on leaving me here? Natalie said. Liam shook his head and walked to the other side. Natalie followed him quickly. "It’s your fault we’re lost, Liam! I just can’t believe I followed you here," Natalie exclaimed. Liam, trying to maintain his calm, turned to her, "Look here, I’m trying my best to find the way out of here. It’s not like I wanted this to happen, and even if I did, not with you. I’m sure they're looking for us by now. So just shush so we can both save some more energy for tomorrow," he said, looked at her venomously, and continued walking…… Natalie scoffed, "So annoying, ugh," she said and followed him. She started murmuring again, "You just had to take that shortcut, didn’t you? Now guess what, we’re both lost in the middle of nowhere, full of wild creatures…" Liam, without turning to her, sighed, "Hey, can you just keep quiet so we can look for something to eat before i
Liam dragged himself from the water to the shoreline, bare-chested. He walked over to where Natalie was standing with her hands covering her face. "Hm hmm," he cleared his throat. "Are... are you wearing a shirt now?" she asked nervously, her back facing him and her hands tightly covering her face. "I need to use this path to get to my shirt; it's hanging on the tree over there," he said. With Natalie teetering on the edge of a fall, Liam held her fast from falling into his arms. As she looked up at him from below, he towered above with an air of strength and protection. Their eyes locked in each other's gaze, their breaths mingling, and chests pressed together. Their lips gently met, and they passionately shared a heated kiss, as if it was something they had longed for and were willing to do without hesitation. A drop of water from Liam’s hair dropped on Natalie’s forehead, and she quickly pulled herself from Liam’s embrace. She began to gasp for air, struggling to process what
"Where do you think you are going with those things of yours?" Mrs. Kiara asked as she approached Brindle in the hallway leading outside. "Are you keeping track of my movements within this house, or are you responsible for everyone's mobility?" Brindle asked firmly while folding her arms and maintaining direct eye contact. "I don't need to figure out your life. How exactly will you be of any use to me?" Mrs. Kiara questioned. "Why do you look like you are not yourself, Mrs. Kiara said. Are you scared of something, oh my baby?" She said and walked closer to her and patted her hair like a baby. Brindle pulled herself away. "Don't put those hands of yours on me again. As-tu entendu? Have you heard?" she said. "Why won't I look nervous standing in front of a scary monster," she added. "Scary monster, you don't say. Then have it that that monster is counting your days in this house," Mrs. Kiara said. Brindle gulped nervously, rolled her eyes at her, and walked away. Yes, she’s already
"Madam, please," the accountant said, "a lady came to withdraw all the money from that account just about nine minutes ago." "Huh?" Tina said and pulled the files in her direction to see what she was talking about. "Vanessa Black," Tina murmured as she examined the name on the files. As she examined them further, Tina wondered just who this person could be. "Can you describe her in any way whatsoever?" Tina asked with a puzzled face, waiting to hear a detailed answer. "Well, madam, I really didn’t make eye contact with her, but she had heavy makeup, and her head was lowered through" the accountant said. "What was she wearing?" Tina asked. "She had on a red wig with an all-black oversized dress, gold gloves matching her heels, and she wore L'Orvea, the Golden Hour, sunglasses," the accountant said. "Wait a minute, I might have passed someone about 3 minutes ago wearing a similar dress," Tina said. Without another word, she ran to the entrance of the building, searched the surround
"I won't let her have the best of me. I will make you pay, Brindle, for coming back into my son's life and destroying his happy home," Mrs. Kiara said, standing there fiercely and gazing into thin air. "Sure, I will help you see the footage of the CCTV camera. I hope Mr. Wood comes to terms to support our company in the future if we ever need some help," the manager said with a wide smile on his face. "Sure, Sir," Tina said, slightly bending down to show appreciation. "We would love to work with your company in the future," she added with a smile. "Follow me. I will lead you to the security room," he said. "Pause it, pause it," Tina said as she leaned closer to watch the video at the moment when she was entering the building. "Can you replay it to 0.04?" she asked. "Wow, that was a great tactic over there," she said, smiling slightly. "She knew who I was... That was a fast move she played, who ever she is she is damn smart" Tina said, with her hands on her waist while nodding. "T
"Your parents must be proud of you by now," Liam said. Natalie looked at him and smiled, "I hope they are," she said, looking up, and a tear dropped from her eyes. "Enough of the emotional talk, hahaha, you want to swim and catch some fish?" he asked. "I can teach you one or two moves," he offered, reaching out his hands to her. "I can't believe I have to do this," Natalie murmured as she tentatively rubbed her palms together. "I think this would be the end of me today," she said, and Liam giggled so hard. "Not in my watch," he said. Natalie dipped the tip of her toes in the water, "Oh, it's cold," she said and pulled it out real quick. "The moment you enter for some time, you will be okay with it," Liam said. Natalie stood at the shoreline with her hands covering her body, trying to warm up. Liam slowly bent down while making sure she didn't notice. Using his hands, he scooped up some water and playfully tossed it at her before bursting into laughter. Natalie let out a deep s
"What do you have there?" Brindle asked Tina as she entered the Wood’s mansion. Tina didn’t utter a word, bypassing Brindle to enter the house. Mr. Richard was already waiting for her arrival. "What does she have there?" Brindle murmured and rushed to follow Tina inside. "It was already too late when I went to the bank, Sir. The person has already retrieved all the money from that bank account," Tina explained. Richard, who was already agitated, said nothing as he pressed his palms against his forehead. "I obtained footage from their CCTV camera that captured the entire duration of the person's entry and exit," Tina added. "Where is it?" Richard asked, eager to see the footage. Brindle's heart raced as she worried about the potential consequences of the CCTV footage. "What if they identify my face? What am I going to do then? My plans and dreams would all come to an end," she thought, panicking. Fear filled her eyes. I have to do something "Let’s go to my office to watch the foo
Let’s get out of here before any of them notice us... They turned to leave, trying not to make noise so as not to be noticed. Out of nowhere, a strange bird started whistling at them. Liam tried everything possible to shoo it away with his hands, making sure to do it discreetly so they wouldn't get noticed. He attempted to shush it away, but the bird seemed determined, continuing to whistle persistently, with her feathers wide open and ready to pound on them… "Who is there?" questioned one of the muscular individuals from the tribe in the language, known to them. All attention shifted towards the source of the noise. They all might have heard some noises from the bush... With a final glance and hope we meet again we leave here alive all printed on their faces, even without any word, Liam and Natalie started running for their lives. They ran with all the power within them, without looking back.... The people did a few turns, and some started chanting in their language with some s
