2021-09-07 16:46:38The next morning, Kathryn was busily preparing the utensils they were going to use later for breakfast. She wasn't one of the team who would cook it, yet, being the enthusiastic culinary student she was, she couldn't help but lend them a hand.
"Good morning. I didn't know you're a morning person too," Alex Brown said, smiling as he entered the kitchen-like area with a sack-like roof and walls and started helping Kathryn.
The sun hadn’t risen yet and there were the only ones from the Cooking Team at the moment.
"Good morning. I woke up earlier and can't get back to sleep," Kathryn explained.
"Hmm," Alex hummed but then squinted his eyes upon seeing Kathryn closer. "What's that? Bitten by a bug?"
Kathryn blinked and when she realised Alex was referring to her neck, Kathryn's face turned beet red. She immediately turned around, excusing herself as she sprinted out of the kitchen.
Suddenly, memories of h

Zachary could feel his heart being squeezed in his chest. He couldn't breathe. The sight was too painful for him to see, yet he couldn't look away. Something deep inside him was telling him he shouldn't tear his eyes away from them, no matter how heart-wrenching it was.Kathryn had her head down while the tall, slender man was hugging her. It seemed like a friendly gesture, but because everybody had already spread the gossip Chad and Kathryn were a thing, they thought of it as romantic.They weren't people around though. It was just Zachary. He thought of it as romantic. Romantically cruel and painful for his own two eyes to see."What the hell are you doing?" He bursts, anger evident in his voice as he couldn't let this thing happen anymore.He thought he could sneak off to Kathryn's room since Earl said he and his classmates were outside at the moment and that Kathryn was left alone and currently napping. Zachary terribly missed

Zachary wasn't the type to be enthralled by the sea but somehow, right now, he was enjoying looking at it as he sat under a tree, away from his other teammates who were doing some games in the water with their Coach. He had never expected himself to be emotionally absorbed by the scenery before him. Or maybe because something unexpected happened and he just didn't know how to deal with it and the scenery was a good escape.It had been a few hours since that time in Kathryn's room and Zachary, Zachary felt lost.He felt numb. He wanted to cry and feel his emotions even if he would look like an emotional bitch. Kathryn's words were the worst words Zachary had ever heard in his life. Not even the neglect from his parents could make him feel like this. Maybe that was the reason why he couldn't feel anything. He wasn't expecting all of these to happen to him. He wasn't ready. He didn't know what kind of emotion he was supposed to feel."So you’re he

The moment they arrived, people started to murmur around. Earl sighed. After Scarlet introduced herself as Zachary's future wife, everyone's jaw dropped. Just like Earl, nobody expected for such things to happen all of a sudden. And Earl was curious as hell, he was bugging Zachary about it but the latter seemed to have turned into a stone. He won't even speak, he was just letting Scarlet drag him with her everywhere. It was clear that day that Zachary wasn't acting like himself. Something must have happened, Earl thought to himself as he observed his best friend from afar.For the following days, this continued to happen, it happened again and again until everyone seemed to treat Scarlet as if she was a student in G University, too. She was warmly welcomed by everyone, especially by the Ballet Team, probably because of her doll-like face and body."You're so pretty, Scarlet," one of the Ballet Team, named Lisa, commented."Thanks," Scarlet replied, glad they wer

On the fifth day, Head Master Leo announced that there will be a game and each team had to fight with each other. The purpose of the retreat was to make everyone closer, but they seemed to have forgotten that as the teams started to be aggressive at some point, even getting physical at times."That's my flag! You dumbass!" Shouted Ryan from the Swimming Team. They were playing Flag Race on the sand."Flag your ass, this is mine!" Replied Earl, a competitive player from the Cooking Team as he aggressively took the flag away.At that time, Lisa from the Ballet Team came and snatched the flag from the two men. "Bye, hotties!""Hey, that's mine!" Both men shouted as they sprinted to catch up to the small but terrible girl who only gave them a teasing tongue out.Everyone was shouting and each team was cooing and almost arguing at one another. Sometimes, they would even do tricks and cheats to win. Of course, if the prize was a delicious feast for dinne

Kathryn was about to say something more but the man spoke first, "We need to go now. There might be rainfall later, it would be difficult to go to that island if it starts raining."They all looked up and it was still sunny. Kathryn and Vivian thought maybe the man was too old to see the weather. After placing the things they needed for the campfire in K Island in the boat, Kathryn hopped in. The boat started and drifted towards the said island.Kathryn was again left mesmerized by the sea. The water was cold against her skin and the way the fishes danced along with the boat they were in made Kathryn's heart warm in awe. The place was beautiful and calming. Somehow, her worries seemed to dissipate whenever she let her mind wonder on what makes this island beautiful.Then it came to her. What if that was what Zachary was doing too? Did he find this place to be naturally beautiful too like Kathryn did? Did he also find comfort upon knowing this? Maybe. Maybe, Kath

"Stop it!" Chad hissed at David who looked so lost and scared. "Don't overthink. We still have time to go there and see if she's there.""No."Everyone turned to Head Master Leo as he spoke. "No. We can't. There's a heavy rain coming and I can't let you all go there."Everyone started to murmur again."What?! But Kathryn's there! How can we leave her there?!" Earl was starting to panic too.David stared at the ground silent, still looking horrified. Chad bit his lower lip, freaking inside as well. Damn it, what the hell did happen?"What's happening?" Scarlet, who only came from outside, asked the Ballet Team curiously."Kathryn from the Cooking Team is in K Island alone and everyone's panicking," someone explained."It seems that there will be rainfall this evening so we can't go there yet, the HeadMaster said no one is allowed to leave at the moment.""What? How horrible! Why did they leave her there by herself?"

Zachary felt his entire body started to weaken. The water was cold, he was wearing a thin cloth, and the rain wasn't helping. He cussed inside his head as he continued swimming despite his already turning sore muscles.The moment Zachary heard what happened to Kathryn, he felt something inside him snapped. It was as if his real self had been sleeping the entire time and upon hearing Kathryn's situation, it woke up.Zachary felt his blood boil, his entire body screaming death as soon as Earl explained everything to him. He wanted to kill, wanted to erase the very existence of that person who left Kathryn alone on that island. But his anger was outweighed by worry. As much as he wanted to take the bitch's life right now, he wanted to see Kathryn and make sure she was okay.He had managed to get into a boat Scarlet had offered to help them get to K Island. Everything happened too fast. Zachary wasn't giving anyone a single glance anymore, he just focused on the boa

Kathryn had never felt this helpless. Zachary having fever was rare and whenever he had it, Kathryn would take good care of him in their apartment.But it was different this time. She didn't even have anything with her to keep Zachary warm - there were no beds and blankets, no medicine or soup she could feed to Zachary. Zachary was burning up, his entire body trembling from the cold wind and wet clothes. Kathryn felt helpless and guilty, holding Zachary to his body as much and closer as she could.Thankfully, Kathryn had her bag with her with an extra pair of clothes and a towel. She had changed Zachary's wet clothes a while back, placing the wet ones near the fire so it would dry up easily. Kathryn had never felt so grateful to her motherly instincts. She always had her bag with her with a pair of clothes, towel, and first aid kit inside, no matter where she went.Why are you so stupid?Kathryn silently asked the shivering man on her lap with Kath

When Kathryn woke up in the morning, she noticed Zachary wasn't beside her anymore. Rubbing her eyes, she called out for her husband."Zack?"Then a man popped out from the bathroom, all fresh and clean. "Good morning, baby."The image immediately brought a smile to Kathryn. Who would've thought her husband would wake up early today? It was indeed a miracle.A few hours before lunch, Zachary and Kathryn went to the beach side and started to play volleyball. Kathryn wasn't an athletic person but she sure did know how to play this game. Every summer when she was a kid, she would play volleyball on the beach with the other kids from the orphanage.Soon, a few people started joining them. Zachary, upon seeing how happy Kathryn was playing, set aside his possessiveness."Whew, that was a good game," Kathryn said, panting as they took a break and sat under a hut.Zachary smiled and nodded, "Yeah. You're good at this, Kath."Kat

"You really wanna die that much, huh?" Zachary said, his eyes full of rage as he gave Charles a loud hard punch. The impact was too strong which caused Charles to fall to the ground instantly.Everybody gasped and stayed a distance away from Zachary and Charles."What the hell? We're just inviting you!" Charles said, frowning as he wiped blood off his lip.Zachary didn't say anything and was about to attack Charles again when Kathryn caught his arm."Stop! Stop it, Zack!" Kathryn didn't know what to do. Why did Zachary suddenly get mad?"What an asshole," Charles muttered under his breath as one of his friends helped him to stand up.Zachary gritted his teeth and was about to attack again but Kathryn held him still."Zack! Let's just go, please, Zack," Kathryn whispered to her husband.Zachary stared at Charles with a pair of vicious red eyes, silently giving him a death threat before letting Kathryn drag him back to their hote

The sun was already up when Kathryn woke up from her slumber. The sky blue and white curtains were flapping through the open window and Kathryn couldn't help but smile at the sight before her. She could see the pastel-colored skies through the glass walls and she could feel and smell the soft salty air breeze that constantly seeped through the windows.She glanced at her side, feeling her heart becoming warm as she brought her hand to her husband's face and softly caressed his cheek. Kathryn didn't expect being married could give her this kind of emotion.It was all thanks to this sleeping man beside her, that Kathryn could get to experience everything that she never imagined to have. Not to mention, the wonderful emotions radiating through her body whenever she was being held by her husband at night. Kathryn blushed at the thought. It was too early for her to think about such things.Ten months after the proposal and a week after their graduation day, Zachary a

Five months later"Kathryn! Here, here!" David, from the topmost bench, waved at Kathryn who had her head turning around for the past few minutes. The sound of whistles, cheering, and chatters echoed through the swimming gymnasium as people, both from G University and from other schools listed in the competition, continued to enter the place.Kathryn smiled the moment she saw David. Walking towards the said friend, Kathryn passed by a few other schoolmates who greeted her cheerfully. Among them was Vivian Heather."Kath!" Vivian Heather was smiling widely as she got up from one of the benches."Oh, Vivian? Wow, I didn't notice you because of your hair..."Kathryn recognized Vivian and couldn’t help but comment on her hair. It was too bright, with a shade of intense pink, to be left unnoticed.Vivian Heather grinned, "Hehehe, I changed it last week. Does it look good on me?"Kathryn sm

"Leave us alone," Mr. Robertson ordered after a few minutes of silence.Kathryn's eyes wavered, she could feel her fingers slightly tremble as she tried to move her legs, following what the towering figure just uttered. She was about to head to the door when Zachary's hand suddenly caught hers, stopping her from leaving.Kathryn stared at Zachary's eyes then, only to find them hard and serious as Zachary sternly whispered, "Don't leave.""Let her leave, we'll do a serious talk," Mr. Robertson's voice wasn't far from Zachary's tone either.Zachary turned to his father, eyes red in anger, "It was you, it was all your fucking fault Kathryn had to suffer by herself. I'm not going to let this go, you hear me? If you dare hurt Kathryn again, I swear to god I'm gonna kill you!"Mr. Robertson frowned then, his eyes casting that of disappointment. "This isn't going to work... Zachary, Kathryn can’t give you a child.

Soon, the swimming team bid their goodbyes, explaining they too had to attend to some personal matters of their own. They teasingly made a remark to Zachary though, advising the injured man to watch out for any rival who'd take Kathryn away from him, which, as always, Zachary glared at and flipped them off.He was waiting for Kathryn to come when the door finally opened and revealed not one but two figures.Kathryn nudged Chad to come in, capturing Zachary's dragon eyes that looked like they were burning holes on Chad's clothes that were touched by Kathryn. Chad gulped. Zachary's possessiveness was no joke after all. Why did Chad make the biggest mistake? Why was he so dumb?Not wanting to add more reasons to be killed, Chad purposely made a distance from Kathryn and went ahead to meet Zachary."Hey," Chad remained calm as he cleared his throat, "How are your injuries?"Zachary scoffed at that, sending shivers down Chad's spin

The moment Kathryn had stepped inside the hospital, she stopped for a while and took a deep breath. She couldn't believe she just spoke to those men! It was her first time to face them head-on and she wasn't going to lie that she didn’t feel scared a bit. Heck, the first time she saw them was before the trip, and they were following her like crazy. Kathryn wanted to report them then, but when she discovered they were men from Zachary's father, Kathryn became even more frightened and unwilling to speak. She had the urgency to stop the plan but she didn't also want it to end yet, not when she hadn't proven her worth to be by Zachary's side.The men were actually harmless. Not even once did they touch Kathryn and Kathryn was thankful for that. But she couldn't be at ease, not when they were following her almost every second of every day. Even David and Chad discovered them. It was a miracle Earl's hawk eyes and Zachary's dragon eyes failed to notice the existence of

Cuddling after a tiring activity turned out to be Zachary and Kathryn's favorite routine. Kathryn's leg was entangled with Zachary's one as Kathryn lay next to her still healing lover.Earl, being the first to know about Zachary finally waking up after Kathryn, visited Zachary a while ago saying Zachary's coach together with Chad, David, and other teammates would probably be visiting too after their practice. Luckily, Earl didn't come at the worst possible scenario and only found the two cuddled up together which confused him to the max before the two explained everything. Earl felt betrayed and so left out he was the only person other than Zachary who didn't know about Kathryn's situation."I thought you stopped liking me because I still sneak out sometimes and drink or smoke," Zachary mentioned while Kathryn was peeling an apple for him on a chair near his bed, just a few minutes after Earl left.Kathryn stopped and stared at Zachary, blinking cluelessly

Zachary chuckled and quickly kissed Kathryn's lips which deepened not so long after Zachary pulled Kathryn even closer. Giving a few pecks and licking Kathryn's lips while holding her face possessively, Zachary smiled. "Just kidding... stop thinking that way though. I hate it."Kathryn looked up, eyes boring into Zachary’s, unconsciously looking too innocent and cute for the man to see. "Hate what?"Zachary gave her a serious glance, "That you're selfish and all that.""But I am...""Psh. Whatever. Selfish or not, you're mine anyway. You love me and only me," Zachary uttered as he gave a quick loving peck on Kathryn's cheek.Kathryn looked away, blushing hard as she mumbled how Zachary was right even if he sounded cocky about it. Zachary chuckled at the sight as he then softly caressed Kathryn's face, pulling her up to meet his own eyes. Zachary stared right into Kathryn's soul, conveying all his love to the younger as Kathryn, feeling
