Chapter: CHAPTER 36: ManipulatorsThe staff's voice cut through the tense silence. "The result of the 3rd round, " the staff's voice echoed in the room. "Kim 1 vote, Evangeline 2 votes, Aaron 3 votes, and Zoey 5 votes.""What the f*ck?" Zoey's voice was a strangled whisper, her eyes wide with disbelief. "Zoey identity was a doctor" "What? She is a doctor" Victoria said, her surprise evident."You guys are crazy," Zoey's voice cracked with frustration, her sharp gaze locking onto Evangeline, a flicker of anger in her eyes."Why she is mad at me?"

"Next round in ten minutes ...." the staff announced.Nate moved with a confident air towards Lucas. "If you were Mafia," he began, his voice low and persuasive, "what would be your first move?""I find the investigator first. He must be our problem" Lucas whispered to his ear, hi

Chapter: CHAPTER 35: Mafia Game"I am not..." Aaron said with a casual shrug.Liam's gaze, sharp with disappointment, that seemed to physically weigh him down, raked over Aaron. "Dude, what the hell happened to you?" He shook his head as refused to accept the bitter truth "You're making a mistake, a huge one. I knew how much you love Evangeline, but looking at this room, I can't believe you did it"Aaron let out a deep breath,, the heavy unspoken words mixed in the air. "Don't rush to judgment, Lee. Trust me, I would never disappoint my friend, You will understand it later," he said as he grabbed a nearby towel, his movements stiff, and headed towards the bathroom and shut the door.Liam sighed and walked angrily out of Nate's room.Meanwhile, in the quiet room, Victoria lying on Nate's bed, her eyes tracing the patterns on the ceiling. A soft smile touched her lips. " I think I like Eve," she said, "She is perfect for my brother."Nate, a smirk instantly replacing his neutral expression at the sound of Evangeline

Chapter: CHAPTER 34: Fake datingBefore he could step towards the Nate, Zoey's hand clamped onto his. "Come on, Aaron," she said, her voice too loud, her laughter directed more at drawing attention than genuine amusement. She hugged him firmly towards the quieter, opposite end of the beach.Nearby, Nate's gaze shifted to Evangeline as she walks shy towards him. His eyes traced the curvy body, a small, persistent smile playing on his lips. "You look.... great," Nate said."Thanks, Nate," Evangeline replied, her smile widening genuinely. "You look great too." She then reached out and took Victoria's hand, their fingers instantly intertwining."You two became close in one day," Nate observed, watching the easy camaraderie between them."Yeah..." they said in unison, sharing a laugh. "Okay... Can we race?" Victoria suggested, pulling both of their hands, her energy infectious as she started jogging towards the north side. "Catch me, Eve..." Victoria called back, glancing over her shoulder with a playful grin.They stopp

Chapter: CHAPTER 33: Trip Day 1: Beach."We reached the beach High-five each other!" Harry shouted while watching the view of the beach. Others cheered. The bus stopped in front of the private villa with a huge, big swimming pool on the right side and the footpath was creative. The laborers were already waiting for them, they took their luggage toward their allocated rooms.Liam jumps from the last stair of the bus as landed perfectly and spreading his hands wide like wings and inhale deeply the fresh warm air.

Chapter: CHAPTER 32: Stay on her good sideThe 2 hours later.Laughter and excited chatter filled the luxurious bus, while the cool air from the air conditioning battled the sweltering heat outside. Passengers wore light, beach-themed dresses and shorts that swayed as they moved around. Some played cards on fold-down tables, while others gazed out the windows and others took photos and posting on social media.Chris's phone vibrated in his pocket. He pulled out and the screen displayed 'Serena.' He cleared his throat before attending, the sound of chatting, and playing laughter echoed through the bus, so he moved to the driver's side for some semblance of quiet. "Yes, Ma'am," he said, his voice confident. The driver glanced at him, then back at the road."It seems, you are already on a trip, Chris," Serena asked."Yes, Ma'am. Your daughter, Eve. " He paused "Sorry Ma'am Evangeline Ma'am informed you previously, she said not to check on you because you were busy at work." he stammered. Serena laughed; her voice tone increased.

Chapter: CHAPTER 31: Get off me, Aaron. Nate let out a relieved breath after watching Evangeline leave the room. Then, Kim stumbled into the room, his eyes wide with shock. "What happened, I heard a noise here...." he asked, his gaze shifting over the shattered glass pieces everywhere.Noticing Nate's hand bleeding, Kim said, "Dude, your hands... are bleeding, come here," taking a first aid kit near the storeroom and gently cleaning Nate's bloody hand. "Why? Day by day, your madness is getting worse." He washed and put some ointment on the cut. "Control emotions Nate" Kim advised, but Nate remained silent, his gaze fixed on the blank monitor.The intercom buzzed with a sharp tone. "We have a guest," the Voice announced. I am gonna check who that was...." Kim said, carefully walking without placing his legs on the glass.Kim unlocked the door hurriedly and after watching the person in front of him, his eyes widened in shock, "Katherine...." he murmured.Katherine, cool and composed, stood in the hallway, her luggage at her f
