Loving You Too Long Part 22
The chefs had served lunch on the deck. Haisley, still unsteady, left Nathan, who remained silent. Gilbert was already on the deck, wearing his unbuttoned shirt and knee-length shorts. Loretta was back in her beach sarong, wearing a bikini and damp hair.The lemon had at least settled Haisley's stomach a bit. She picked up a plate and started filling it with food, then carried it to the quietest corner she could find.Gilbert sat beside her. He put his slightly wrinkled hand on Haisley's forehead. "You're not running a fever, but you look really pale, Princess," he whispered, concern lacing his voice.Haisley forced a smile. "There's something I need to tell you, G," she replied, gazing at Gilbert with sad eyes."We can talk elsewhere," he said, taking Haisley's plate with his right hand while his left hand gently held her small one. They went back inside the ship, walking through the corridors until Gilbert opened a door.He led Haisley into the karaoke room and locked the door from

Nathaniel's POVI was furious. Hearing Haisley's confession that she would stop loving me felt like something had pierced my heart. Especially the fact that she knew about my feelings for Crystal somehow made a corner of my heart ache. In the end, the girl gave up. Shouldn't I be happy? After all, that was what I intended by doing all of this, to hear those words. But why did I feel so reluctant now? It was as if someone had taken a beloved toy of mine and finally threw it, breaking it right in front of my eyes. I could only stare at her pale face.Haisley! The girl disturbed me. Hearing her intention to erase the ten years she used to love me made me feel unwilling. I just let her go past me. Did she think it would be that easy to remove Nathaniel from her mind? While I was sure my name was ingrained in her very being.Times do change. But it won't change that girl's love for me. I was sure of it. But seeing her closeness with Gilbert, for some reason, made my confidence waver. Gilbe

"They arrived on the shore almost an hour later. Ambulances and paramedics were already waiting right at the dock. Haisley's small body appeared even paler, and the girl's breaths were shallow.Paramedics immediately placed an oxygen mask on her nose along with an IV drip in her arm. The nearest hospital was almost an hour's drive away. And during that time, Nathan stayed with her inside the ambulance.In her unconscious state, Haisley's hands kept squeezing his. Nathan knew she was in pain.Haisley was quickly rushed into the Emergency Department. A male doctor in his mid-thirties, Nathan guessed, examined her. Shortly after Gilbert arrived at the Emergency Department waiting area where Nathan was, a female nurse called out."Guardians of Miss Smith?" she called out loudly. Both Nathan and Gilbert stepped forward. The nurse looked at the two men in front of her alternately. Reluctant to choose, she asked both of them to follow her.They were led into a room, dressed in sterile clothi

Haisley started to panic. She was no match for her two schoolmates who now gripped her tightly on both sides. Then, roughly, her hands were pulled behind her, and Haisley screamed as her shoulder bones throbbed with pain. The sound of the tape being ripped off faintly reached her ears before she felt her hands tightly bound behind her back."Wait! What is this?!" she screamed in panic, attempting to free herself and kicking out. However, her small body was thrown onto the cold ceramic floor, face down. Her legs were tied tightly with a thick rope."This is a lesson for you. So there won't be any more victims of your flirtations. You home-wrecker!" the unfamiliar student hissed. Haisley kept struggling, but instead of getting free, she felt pain all over her body."Help!!" she shouted loudly, hoping someone would come to her rescue. "Help!!" she tried to make her voice as loud as she could. But then her mouth was sealed shut with the same tape used to bind her hands."I heard you're go

Nathan sat upright with his head slightly bowed forward, while Gilbert slept with his head leaning on Nathan's shoulder. They would surely wake up with uncomfortable neck and shoulder positions. And Haisley felt guilty about it. If only she hadn't drowned, she wouldn't have troubled the two brothers. She really had to make it up to them. And an idea suddenly crossed her mind."Haisley woke up from her bed. She needed to use the bathroom urgently but hesitated to wake up Nathan or Gilbert. She removed the oxygen mask from her nose, grabbed the IV stand, and walked silently.A few minutes after finishing her business, Haisley was surprised to find Nathan standing in front of the bathroom door. "Why didn't you wake me up?" he asked, his eyes narrowing sharply."Sorry, I didn't want to disturb you," Haisley replied softly. She walked ahead of Nathan to return to the bed. She noticed Gilbert sleeping, his head tilted back, leaning against the chair. His neck would surely be stiff tomorrow.

Reia nodded, understanding Haisley's stated reasons. She could only look at Haisley with a compassionate smile."Do you want a flat to rent alone, or are you open to sharing?" she asked again."Just a personal one if there's any. I'm not used to living with strangers," Haisley replied honestly. "And if possible, something affordable," she added with a shy smile.Reia nodded her head slowly. "Alright, I'll ask the others. If there's any information, I'll let you know," she promised. Haisley murmured her thanks. "But H, does Gilbert know about your plan?" she asked again.Not out of curiosity, but to avoid problems with Gilbert if Haisley did all of this without his knowledge and Reia helped her. If that happened, Gilbert would be angry with Reia. And Reia didn't want that. Haisley only nodded weakly, which Reia interpreted as a 'yes.' She felt more at ease now. Reia stood up and prepared to leave."Alright, I'll update you later," she said, patting Haisley's arm before saying goodbye.

The next day, after a thorough physical examination, including a lung check, Haisley was allowed to go home. Her return to Gilbert's house was greeted by Aunt Jody, who intentionally came home late just to see Haisley's current condition. It was also because the woman felt guilty for not visiting when Haisley was being treated.Gilbert escorted her to her room. Although Haisley asked him not to. For God's sake, she felt like a seriously ill person with all of Gilbert's attention.Gilbert didn't allow Haisley to go to class either, despite her pleas and sweet persuasions. But Gilbert remained firm. He used Haisley's health condition as the reason, although he was eager to meet Reia and ask about the flat issue he inquired about at the hospital earlier.It was her fault, really, because she hadn't had the chance to ask for Reia's phone number. Another reason was, she actually forgot where her phone was. All she remembered was the last time she used it before boarding Nathan's rented yac

"Haisley is currently facing Gilbert's anger. Just as he had predicted. His friend couldn't accept the fact that Haisley had already paid the flat rent and would be moving out over the weekend. And that's tomorrow.Haisley himself didn't know Nathan's response because the man was out of town, attending one of his friend's weddings. Haisley knew that the man was accompanied by his girlfriend, Loretta, because she had posted a photo of them on her social media.Even though the photo only showed Nathan's back, Haisley knew it was him."H, think about it again. I can cover your rent. I can talk to my friend who's looking for a place. But don't move, H," the man pleaded."G, please," Haisley begged. This was beyond his patience. He couldn't take it anymore; he didn't want to keep getting hurt."I thought it was just a momentary emotional outburst, H. If I knew you were serious, I wouldn't have taken my eyes off you," Gilbert replied, still reluctant. "What about Uncle, Aunt? What about my

Loving You Too Long Epilogue
A few years later, shouts were heard in the backyard of Chayton's residence. A heavily pregnant woman sat on a chair, watching her children jumping on the four-meter-diameter round trampoline, laughing. Occasionally, she yelled, asking her kids to be careful and not to fall. She felt the side of her seat compress and saw her mother-in-law sitting there, placing warm milk in front of her. "G said he's going to fly straight to America," the woman whispered. Haisley turned to her mother-in-law and smiled. Since her brother-in-law made the startling announcement about his choice to convert, she knew her mother-in-law was disappointed. Although in the end, her mother-in-law accepted her son's decision. "Gilbert is an adult; he knows what he's chosen," said his father-in-law in support of his youngest son who chose to convert. "You must be confident in your choice, G. You're not doing it just for a woman, right?" the father asked. Gilbert looked at his family and shook his head. "G has

Haisley fell silent again. She and Nathan had discussed this before the kidnapping happened, but they hadn't informed their families yet. "Nathan asked me to live in England and continue my studies," Haisley said, making Abigail furrow her brow. "Nathan will support me because, clearly, my scholarship can't be used anymore since I've left campus. At first, I said I didn't want to, what's the point of studying if, in the end, I stay at home taking care of the kids. But Nathan said that 'no one regrets having learned', so yeah, I'm starting over." Haisley explained, looking at Abigail with curiosity. "You still don't want to continue your studies? Your brain is clearly smarter than mine, Abby." Abigail shrugged. "I also have plans to go there. I'm just not sure which major to take. I haven't found a passion that drives me to choose a specific field. Maybe later, I'll consult with Itan." Haisley chuckled at her friend's words. "Why are you laughing?" Abigail asked curtly. "I don't know

The next day, Nathan and Haisley's families were planning to return to the hospital. Still, Gilbert objected because Nathan wanted to go home since he opened his eyes in the early morning. Nathan told Gilbert that he didn't want to make Haisley wait for him at the hospital for too long and preferred to rest at home. Gilbert eventually conveyed his brother's request to the morning visiting doctor. Fortunately, the doctor agreed, and in the morning, after completing the paperwork, Nathan, Gilbert, and Haisley returned to Flavia's villa. They received a warm welcome at the villa owned by Haisley's friend. Her family was just as enthusiastic as they were the night before when they gathered at the hospital. If the previous night they allowed Nathan and Haisley to rest, this time they didn't. Everyone was clearly very curious about what Nathan experienced during the abduction. With Haisley sitting by his side and their hands intertwined, Nathan recounted the entire ordeal to his family.

"Both of you, come with me," he said with a nod of his head, walking towards another black Jeep Gladiator, as dark as the other two jeeps that had roared away, leaving their tire tracks in the sand. Clasping each other, with Nathan limping, they entered the leader's car. "You were never part of this capture," the man said with his deep voice, immediately nodded by Haisley and Nathan. "You never met us," he continued, receiving another nod from Haisley and Nathan. After that, no one spoke. Haisley and Nathan's hands were intertwined, their bodies swaying with the car's movements on the uneven roads. Haisley looked out the window. Although she didn't pay much attention to the road when they departed, she knew that the path they were on now was different. And actually, the dock they had just left wasn't the same as when Haisley departed. Was this a secret route? A path known only to a few? Were the people who just saved her elite forces? Were they government troops? Or special forces

"They will take you to the dock, which will then take you to where Loretta is. The man who will pick you up later is not my henchman. So, you have to be cautious," Antony warned. "The two men with you now will give you some items." The man next to him then took out a small box from his shirt pocket, opened it, and took out a small round object about the size of a headset's knob, no bigger than a thumb. "This is a GPS and a mic. Place this object where it can't be seen," the henchman said with a mischievous smile. "Maybe in your clothes." He chuckled, making the driver laugh heartily. "And this, although small, is very sharp." The man handed Haisley a metal object. "If you press this," he pressed his thumb on a point, and then a sharp-edged knife quickly appeared. "This knife can accidentally hurt you, so be careful and use it wisely." He said as he placed the object next to the previous black item. "Uncle's people will monitor you. With the GPS, we'll know where that man is taking y

"Wh-who are you?!" Loretta asked in the midst of her pain. "Ramon! Ramon! Where are you, you bastard!" she shouted loudly. Loretta looked at the darkened cabin where Ramon should have been behind the ship's wheel. She trusted the man who had tormented Nathan all day to be the captain of the ship they were on. "We've neutralized Brother Ramon from the beginning!" said the uniformed man, walking closer to Loretta, who had turned pale and looked in pain, taking handcuffs out of his pocket. The other two men working for Loretta had already been instructed to kneel, and the two other men in black uniforms handcuffed their hands behind their backs. "How did you get here?" Loretta asked, trying to buy time as the police put handcuffs on her. Unlike her two henchmen, Loretta's handcuffs were placed in front, allowing her to still hold her bleeding leg. "You'll know the chronology later," the policeman said, pulling Loretta's arm to make her stand. Unbeknownst to Loretta, the ship they had

They walked with firm steps that made the ship's floor creak under the weight of their large bodies. One of the big men grabbed Nathan's arm from behind and made him stand up, causing Nathan to groan in pain. Haisley tried to hold onto Nathan, but her arm was also held by another man whose body was just as large as the one holding Nathan. Nathan appeared to walk with a limp, occasionally hissing in pain. Something was wrong with his leg, and Haisley could sense it even though she didn't know why. "What have you done to Nathan?!" Haisley shouted at Loretta, who stood between her and Nathan. The woman turned, tilting her head and then looking in Nathan's direction. "Nothing," she replied flatly, shaking her head. Then her mouth opened wide, and she looked at Haisley with a guilty expression. "Maybe I've made a few of his ribs move. A little crack in the rib bones, and his leg won't kill him, right?" she asked cheerfully, continuing her steps. Nathan was now at the front of the deck,

Five minutes, could Haisley sneak out of Flavia's villa? What should she say if someone catches her? Haisley shook her head. Quickly, she walked out of the room. Sneaking as she put on her sneakers and headed towards the front gate because the villa didn't have a back gate. A guard seemed to be at his post. Haisley tried to come up with a plan so that the tall, sturdy man wouldn't suspect her. She walked closer and saw the uniformed man immediately stand and inquire about Haisley's needs. "The guest inside is asking for you to come in, he said there are instructions to be given." Haisley said to the man, who she knew was only slightly older than her husband. The man nodded without much suspicion and then left his post. Thus, Haisley could leave the villa without being suspected. She stepped out and chose to hide in a dark area while waiting for the car mentioned by the caller to arrive. The two men who had earlier claimed to be police officers and took Nathan away now stopped the

"We have successfully located his whereabouts." The local man pulled out his phone from his pocket and showed the screen to everyone in the room. "Ramon's gang has a hidden base on a small island. There's a concealed building behind the forest that they've been using as their headquarters. We need to cross the strait to get there, and it will take hours," the informant continued. "We have agreed to raid the base when we are sure that everyone is there. Forces have been mobilized. The police, along with the navy and ground forces, are working together for this massive capture. Pray that your brother Nathan is in good condition." The man said, nodded at by several heads in the room. They intended to share this information with Haisley so that she could be more at ease, knowing at least they had information about Nathan's whereabouts. Gilbert went to the room where he knew Haisley was with her two friends. However, after knocking on the door several times and receiving no response, he c
