Xavion . Ignore her? Reject her? How could I do that? I will listen to her and see how things go. I was caught off guard because I never delved into her personal life. My feelings towards her changed the moment she turned her back on me. I harboured resentment towards her for a long time and became distrustful of women who resembled her. I swore to the devil that once I see her, I will make sure she will regret what she did to me. But dammit. What is happening now is entirely opposite to the way I wanted. "I'm ready!" I whirled around, and her majestic smile gave a warm feeling inside my heart. Damn. How did Quinn manage to steal my heart like this so quickly? Sometimes I just wanted to shut my eyes and close my ears so I couldn't hear her voice. But hell, that's impossible. I can't control my feelings, and every little movement of my body is betraying me. "Good to hear," I nodded and noticed the bag she was carrying, causing my brows to furrow. "Am I carrying too much? Shou
Quinn . I know Xavion will pay no interest in me and probably will get bored of my story. He hated me so much. I saw that. I am not blind to that. On rare occasions, I sense his frustration, but it’s not a frequent occurrence. Despite his icy gaze, I believe he has a kind heart that is eager to embrace me. I just need to break the ice to get into his heart. Way more to go, Quinn. You can do this! We reached three-quarters around, and the beauty of the Island was the same. Despite the need for cleaning up the litter that has washed up on the rough side of the shore from other parts of the world, the Island still showcases its natural beauty. There are plenty of crabs. Most of them are edible but very hard to catch. There are a lot of clams, and some are safe to eat at this part. The water is crystal clear, and you can see more fish swimming in this part closer to us. They can’t be caught because they move too quickly, and acquiring specific equipment is necessary to catch one. It
Xavion . "Aim it a little bit higher, Quinn. Focused on the target ahead. Think carefully about where you want to shot your subject." I gritted my teeth while seriously looking at her. I am standing behind her and notice her hand shaking slightly. She seems nervous and unsure about pulling the trigger. "There are two major spots to kill your target, Quinn. First, at the head, and second on his heart. Choose one. I know it's a crucial decision, but you must be strong to pull the trigger, Quinn. Holding the gun and aiming to kill someone is not easy," I reminded her as I wanted her to loosen up a little bit. "Oh, God. I can't do it." She sighed, and her shoulder dropped. "It's alright. It's your first time," I said, slowly touching her hand and removing the gun from her. I disassembled it, ensuring no bullets were inside, and handed it back to her. "Now try it without a bullet." I stepped a little bit and just watched her. She glanced at me, appearing more at ease this time. She
Xavion . I walked away the moment we arrived. I want to be alone for a moment. I don't know what's wrong with me lately. I have this feeling that she needs to survive without me. She's clingy at times and eager to learn things but scared. Something is off about her, and I want to know why. Looking back, I realise I should have conducted thorough research then. However, since I didn't want to reintegrate into her life, I neglected the critical tasks that needed my attention. "Dammit, Quinn, you are doing my head in," I whispered silently, and my body deflated on the chair. I'm inside the helicopter. Everything seems fine, except for the minor damage on the propeller. I'm just waiting for the boys to arrive and assist me. It has been three days since I last received a strong signal from them. Today, I am hoping for a positive outcome. It's easy for the boys to get here unless Bryce intentionally delays things. Damn, that lunatic. He is doing this on purpose. I connected a f
Quinn . Do I have the right to feel this way? God knows how much I want to escape from that hell. And now that I am here with Xavion, I am willing to comply with all of his requests, but I have no desire to return to that place. My grandmother is currently in need of rescue and is waiting for me. I will take the necessary steps to prepare myself before devising a plan to assist her. I've been feeling down lately. Xavion has been preoccupied with fixing the connection. I overheard him on the phone yesterday, and it was successful because the connection is working again. I should be thankful that his friends will be coming over. But why do I feel this way? I am sad. The thought of us getting separated brings me down. I don't want this to end. I don't want to be separated from him. I quietly placed the sandwich I had prepared on the small table beside him. He was about three meters away, focused on repairing the fence. "Lunch is here. I made you a tuna sandwich," I said, sitting
Quinn."So, Quinn. What's the best part of the Island that you like? Choose the one that reminds you of something here."Reeve stood up, smiling at me. I find him easygoing and attractive. His personality suits well with how he smiles. Very friendly."Uhm, the sea, of course. The white sand, the crystal waters and everything, I guess.""No. You have to choose one. Choose the one that made an impact on you."My eyes narrowed, thinking thoroughly. I have to get this right. Reeve promise to give me something that I can use here for survival."Okay. Uhm, I hate to say this because I don't really like those thorny weeds around the middle of the Island. But I guess they're the one that leaves an impact towards me."Yes, that was the first time Xavion had noticed me. It was also the first time we had interacted after all that had happened."You mean the ugly thorny hard weeds in the middle? Did it get you?"I nodded with a big smile."Geez, you are funny, Quinn." Both of his hands were now
Quinn . "What's this for?" I asked Reeve as I looked confused at the little device in my hand I raised my brow and asked, "Is this what you plan to give me?" "Yes. This is a tracker, Quinn. In case you find yourself lost in the jungle, it will guide you back to your base." He stated as he rose from his seat to demonstrate how to operate it. "All you have to do before you leave for an adventure is to turn it on and press this red button. Then you can put it inside your bag or pocket. The device will record like a GPS map. If you get lost on your way back to the base, just press the side here." He showed me the two little black buttons beside it. "See this one?" "Yes." "Okay, push this one twice, then it will display an indication colour. Green means you are walking in the right direction, and red is in the wrong direction. So you better go ahead to where the green light signals." "Wow, that's really cool! I love this one! Thank you so much, Reeve!" My eyes beamed in excitement
Xavion."Now that you made your choice, you should know what's coming, right?" Bryce's jaw tightened as he looked at me seriously.I whirled around, avoiding an answer to give him. I'm still thinking of my next move. I have to be careful this time because too complicated."I don't think it will get complicated anyway. Just play dead. That's the best course you should do," he suggested. He is now beside me, drinking his beer."Quinn's father threatens all his enemies to attack them if they don't get Quinn back. He suspected that Quinn had been taken captive by one of their adversaries. However, the search has been temporarily suspended based on Dominique's recommendation."I furrowed my brows and locked eyes with Bryce."They didn't know where to start searching, and their announcement made every mafia in the low-rank gang together to fight them. That's why Dominique suggested stopping searching for Quinn and staying low is the most proficient way, as they don't want to make more enem
