Megan’s POV“It doesn’t matter to me if you aren’t signing the divorce papers. You still have to leave my mother’s house and I have no more obligations towards you. Although legally we are still husband and wife, in reality, we are two strangers living separately. Besides, wouldn’t it be better for you to divorce me and unite with your lover? You should feel sorry for him, who is not married and remains faithful to you,” John said with a sly smile. I had never seen such a frightening look on John’s face. Jealousy and anger filled him. Then, what was the meaning of their thirty-year marriage? Did it all mean nothing anymore? From this case, it seemed like I should have told Ethan the truth before we got engaged so that something like this wouldn’t happen to me in the future. There was nothing I could hope for anymore. Mom and I had to leave their lives. Hearing Mom continue to defend herself and laugh like a woman with depression, I couldn’t take it anymore. I stood up and walked to
Piper’s POV“B-but why did you buy this bus? We don’t use the bus often,” I asked, still trying to assuage my inner shock. “Turn around,” he whispered in my ear. I turned around and looked into his beautiful blue eyes. “This bus must be very expensive. Wouldn’t it be better to rent it instead of buying it?”Jay placed his index and middle finger on my lips. “It’s not too expensive. You don’t have to worry. I can use this bus for office events, anyway. Trust me, I’ve calculated everything. Now sit nicely in the back seat with the twins.”“Lily, help Madam sit down,” Jay pleaded with Lily. “I can walk and sit by myself. I don’t need anyone else’s help,” I retorted, pretending to frown. “Obey me,” he retorted. Lily immediately held out her hand, and I reached her hand and walked with her to the chair at the back. Mom and Vanessa sat together in front of the twins’ seats. Lisa sat next to Jordan. Ken sat next to Lily. Nick sat next to Max. Austin, sat alone. I finally arrived at th
Megan’s POV “Zac,” I called to the man who was kissing a young girl. The young girl who was on his lap immediately turned her head and looked at me in confusion. She was probably wondering who I was and what my relationship with Zac was. “Go away,” Zac ordered her. Before leaving, she buttoned up her shirt and straightened her hair, which was a little messy. After she left the room, I quickly closed the door. When I turned around, I saw Zac lighting his cigarette. “Young girl again? Are you hypersex?” I asked, a little jealous. “She’s the girl who just came in this morning. That’s the rule. I don’t want to talk about it. What’s going on?” Zac asked, puffing cigarette smoke into the air. Ah, he was so sexy. “I want to ask something from you,” I said as I walked toward him and sat on his lap. I caressed his chest that was not covered by a single thread, and then my tongue traced his neck and ended up on his lips. I gave him a brief kiss as I pulled his hand to land on my breast.
Piper’s POVAfter their car disappeared, I hurried inside to rest. My stomach felt a little sore since waking up. I sat on the back porch while observing the flowers that had just bloomed. The servants had watered all the plants on the back terrace since the sun had just risen. The morning air was refreshing, and it was even more beautiful to enjoy the beauty of the morning with a cup of tea and a few pieces of cake. My life was beautiful, and I wanted nothing more. My family was my gem. That was my motto. I was strong because of them and my greatest happiness was seeing them happy. I sat back against the back of the sofa, letting the morning sunlight shine on my body. I thought I’d rest for a while before going out with Lisa to shop for baby items. Megan’s POVThat was the day your suffering will begin, Piper and Jay. You will cry and suffer without knowing what to do. My dreams were shattered because of you, Piper. You took everything away from me even though I realized Helen’s
Jansen’s POVNo, no, no! We were kidnapped. Kelly is an imposter. She must be from a kidnap syndicate. I had to find a way and calm Jessie down because I wanted nothing bad to happen to her.But what was I supposed to do?As soon as the car door was locked, the woman dressed and made up like Vanessa turned around and smiled widely. My eyes immediately widened and my heart skipped a beat. I spontaneously turned around and saw the same expression on Jessie’s face.Jessie grasped my hand. I knew what she was thinking. We were thinking the same thing.At that moment, the car immediately sped up and took us away from the convenience store. And I saw the car driven by Ken coming. He must not have seen us in the kidnapper’s car.Kelly wasn’t in this car. When I looked back, I saw Kelly getting into an unfamiliar car. They had planned all this carefully. When Ken couldn’t find us, that’s when he must have realized that something was wrong with us.God, please protect us.When I turned to look
Piper’s POV“Madam, madam,” Ken exclaimed as he dashed from the front porch into the living room. I was sitting in the living room watching television while enjoying a cup of tea and a freshly baked blueberry cake. I hurriedly put the cup on the table. I saw that Ken’s face was very different. He was scared, like he had just seen a ghost. When he stood in front of me, he didn’t speak right away. He looked down while panting. Sweat covered his face and body. Lily, who was in the kitchen, rushed out and approached us. She stood next to me. “Ken, what’s wrong with you?” Lily asked worriedly. “Are you okay?” I asked. Ken was still trying to stabilize his breathing. I asked him to sit down until he was ready to talk. A few minutes later, with shaking hands and a stammering voice, he said, “The twins.”“What’s wrong with the twins? Where are they?” I asked. I felt bad. My mind imagined many dangerous possibilities. “They’re not at school,” Ken replied.“Ken, don’t joke around. Tell u
Megan’s POV“What caused so many people to not make it to the island safely? Sharks? What’s the name of the island?” I asked curiously. Was it that difficult to get there? Zac never jokes around. He does everything to the max. That meant the twins’ whereabouts would be hard to find. Zac was amazing. But it also meant that it would be difficult for me to reach the island. “Of course not. Those are just rumors. Many ships have been wrecked because of the reef and most of the reef is in the water, so it’s hard for the sailors to tell where the reef is and avoid it. There are sharks on this island, but few. The name of the island is Palaca,” he replied as he went back to talking to someone. “Then how did you know where the reef was? And what ship are you using now?” I asked curiously. “Hahaha, that’s what informants are for. I hired a fisherman as a guide. I took a big boat. If you want to come here, there’s one of my big boat at Sterne Pier. It’s almost there. Talk to you later, bye.”
Jansen’s POV“Hurry, or do you want to spend the night on the creepy beach?” Andy, the tattooed man, yelled.“Hey, can’t you be gentler with the kids?” Kelly said, hitting Andy’s shoulder.“I can’t. They’re all the same to me,” Andy retorted, sneering at Kelly. “Let’s walk now before it gets dark or it’ll be hard to find the house,” Kelly invited us. Kelly was right. The beach looked creepy at night. We had to hurry because the wind was getting colder. “Jessie, hold my hand no matter what. Button up your sweatshirt and hug this pillow so you stay warm,” I said. Jessie nodded. “Let’s walk. Ah, you better walk in front of us so we know the direction,” I pleaded. “Watch out! Don’t escape!” Andy yelled at us. How could we escape on this deserted island? After all, we didn’t know how to navigate the boat and the direction of Valdirra. The bottom line was that we did not know where this desert island was. “Don’t be afraid, I’m walking behind them,” Tia, the woman disguised as Vanessa,
