Chapter 2: The Adventure
Last Updated:
2021-01-02 22:14:35Astrid Olsen's POV
I was smiling as I was staring at the sight of the Mediterranean Sea from the sky. It was magnificent before I was snuggling against the chair that was comfortable enough for me when I usually went around the world with the private jet. But this will do.
An economy plus a seat, in the couch section.
I was looking at the screen that was in front of me before the seatbelt sign was on. I was putting up my chair before I was fastening the seatbelt. I was smiling when there was a flight attendant that was collecting for the trash before the final touchdown.
Finale Ligure, Italy.
I have transit in Geneva before I was changing the flight to land at Riviera Airport. It was the closest one to my final destination but I was not having any trouble at all. I was smiling before I was hearing the captain of the plane was clearing her throat into the microphone.
"Welcome, ladies and gentlemen. My name is Aurora, I am your captain today and we will be landing in Riviera in just 30 minutes. The weather is shiny and it is a good time for a picnic at the beach. The local time is 11 AM and everything is perfect. I hope you will enjoy your visit and to the Italians, welcome home," she said in English before she was speaking in Italian.
I was smiling before I was looking out the window again as I was humming the lullaby that my mother used to sing to me. I sighed before I was looking at the sea. I cannot wait to dip my feet in them.
30 minutes later, the plane landed safely on the track before everyone was busy getting their stuff. Then, they were moving to get out of the plane as if there will be a bomb inside them. Why can people just chill out?
I got out of my seat as the plane was deserted with a few people were getting out of the plane. I was opening the overhead compartment before I was taking my backpack. I did not bring much as I know that I would not belong here.
I walked to the exit before the flight attendants were thanking me. I nodded at them before I was moving to the tunnel as I was proceeding to get my passport check out. I have my passport and I am ready to hit the town.
I have some money that can last me for a few weeks but I will be here until I was called by the university for my application and I have to save money to get the plane ticket as well as the money for my residency in New York.
Not that I don't want to use my trust fund but my father can track me down. I don't want him to know where I was going at the moment, so laying low has to be my game plan for now. After I was cleared out of the security, I was walking out of the airport before I was looking around. I smiled.
"You need a ride?" A person was talking behind me before I was turning to see that it was a man. I smiled before I was blinking at him. He was talking in English but I think the accent was heavy enough that I don't know what to say to him.
"Uh, I'm," I said in Norwegian before the man smiled.
"It's okay. I understand if you don't talk English," he said with the same heavy accent before he was moving away from me. I was looking at his retreating figure before he was asking someone else.
A woman as well. Alone.
Was this a scam? I don't think I would want him to get the women with him before I was walking up to the woman. I smiled at the woman as she caught my eyes when the man was talking to her.
I shook my head before I was making a sign that he was dangerous. Then, the woman was talking in a foreign language that I don't understand as well as that man that was talking to her. Then, the woman smiled before she was walking with me and grabbed my hand. Then, we're off.
"Thank you for saving me. I don't think that I would be getting some attention from a scammer," the blonde woman was talking with a British accent. She was an Englishwoman but she was talking in a different language just now.
"Oh, sorry, where are my manners? I'm Taylor. Taylor Baker," she said as she was extending her hand to shake with mine. I smiled at her before I was shaking her hand.
"Astrid Olsen. Say, are you English?" I asked her before Taylor was laughing at me.
"Well, as you can tell from my accent, I am 100% proud British woman," Taylor said as I was looking at her uncanny eyes.
It was purple. So mesmerizing.
I was staring at her before Taylor was arching her eyebrow at me. Then, she was touching her face before she was looking at me.
"Is there something on my face?" She asked as she was looking at me. Then, I was shaking my head as I was smiling at her.
"No, no. it was that your eyes are very…different. I was mesmerized by them for a moment there," I said as Taylor was smiling at me. Then, she was looking out into the road.
"So, shall we get going to our destination then?" She asked me before I was rubbing my neck.
"Well, I don't exactly plan this trip all together…" I said as I was smiling sheepishly at her. Taylor gasped before she was gripping my shoulders.
"Did you say that you don't have a place to stay?" She asked me as I was nodding at her. Then, she sighed.
"Me too," she said as I was smiling at her. Taylor smiled before she was making a proposition that we will be looking for a room together.
"Then, shall we get to know each other, friend?" She asked me as I was smiling at her.
"Well, we did stick together and saved one another from the scammer. I think we're friends now," I said before Taylor laughed. She was laughing sophisticatedly that I think there were more than meets the eyes.
"I dare say, you're funny," she said as I shrugged.
"I tried. But, enough talk, let's go," I said before I was looking at Taylor. She nodded.
"Adventure, here we come," she said before we were getting into a taxi together, to the destination that was unknown to us.
Eliot Park's POV
I was sighing when I was resting back on the chair of the private jet of my company. I was the heir of the Green Tech company after all but I did not want to be in the shadows of my father's success. So, I have to make sure that I made my fortune.
And that's how Park Pharmaceutical was founded.
I have always been fascinated with the traditional medicine that the Asians used in their daily lives, especially Chinese. They have been using those medicines before the time of science and technology. It was amazing and I wanted to make sure that they stay that way.
But with a little intervention from the newest technology and all, I think our company made it better. I have to thank the ancient knowledge for the success and I made billions for the first batch.
But I have to admit, it was the influence of my status as well as my face was plastered on every wall of Norway. I guessed there was a perk to be a billionaire then.
I was looking at the island that was below me as I was staring out the window. It was sunny in merry New York as I cannot wait to meet my mother. I sighed before my captain announced that we will be on land shortly.
I closed my eyes before I was imagining my reunion with my mother.
It has been 2 years since I saw her last Christmas. My father did not stop my mother to go and follow her dream; to be an Ecology professor as well as a researcher. He understood that my mother needs the knowledge to keep her going and I know that I will not stop my future wife from getting what she wanted.
Be it in career, wealth, and power. I mean, not for politics but I think I will reconsider it if it was for good cause.
The seatbelt sign was on before I was fastening them. I was looking at the island before we landed and I was happy to know that I will be meeting my mum before I hit the town. Of course, being the notorious heir as well as billionaire, I was always up for a good time.
Even though I was engaged to be married, I did not meet my future fiancée yet and I think she would not mind if I have some fun tonight.

Astrid Olsen's POV"Tada!" Taylor said as she was opening the motel room that we found for cheap in Finale Ligure. I don't know if I can afford it but Taylor promised me that it was not that bad for us to share the room. Besides, she negotiated with the owner before she decided that we will take it. I did not know that she can speak Italian. Well, more luck for us then."So, what will you do tomorrow, Astrid?" Taylor asked me as I was looking at her. I was tapping my chin before I was smiling at her. I did saw an advertisement that they need a waitress in the nearby restaurant at the beach of Finale Ligure. I think I can pass for that position."I don't know, I was thinking that I might get a job or something. I did plan to stay here until I don't know when and I have to save some money for the plane ticket as well,'' I said as I was looking at Taylor. She nodded before she was smiling at me."Look at you. Just arrived and already thinking about the money and

Eliot Park’s POVI was getting comfy by the time that we were about to land in New York. I don’t know about everybody else but I am dying to get some action tonight.Albeit, if my mother let me off early before she gave me one of her speeches for me to behave better in the future.‘You should not be doing this,’‘You cannot behave like this, Eliot. What will the public say?’‘Why can’t you be like your father and settle down right now?’My mother always thought that I would be settling down like she did with my father when they were younger. I would not like to be tied up to one person when I can have every woman in the world every week.‘Someday, you will understand that you will only want her and only her can fill the void inside you, in here,’ my mother told me as she laid her palm over my chest where my heart was. I was 21 at the time, barely knows a thing but right now, I think I know what she meant by that.The stranger that I me

Eliot Park’s POV“And why should I do that? She’s not your girlfriend, is she?” I asked him as Cam was clenching his jaws when the woman was staring at him.“That is none of your business,” he said before the woman was swaying as I can sense that she was already leaning against Cam. I see, they were in love but too afraid to tell each other.“Well then, I cannot leave her with you. Who knows what you might do to her,” I said, adding some spiciness to their relationship. Then, Cam laughed bitterly.“And you do? No, I don’t trust you any more than a stranger that I saw in the streets. This woman used to work with me together in Seattle and as you can see,” he said as he was pointing at the ruby necklace that the woman was wearing. I smirked inwardly before Cam was smiling with triumph at me.“She’s my betrothed after all,” he said before he smirked. I pretended to clench my jaws before Cam was carrying the woman away.“Now that matter settled,

Eliot Park’s POVI was looking at the woman that was named Daisy Dyer. Dyer, as in the famous scientist named Jayson Will Dyer. Was she related to him? So, I asked her the million-dollar question that someone would find it was offensive when been asked about it.“Say, did your father named Jayson Will Dyer?” I asked before Daisy was blinking her eyes at me. then, she nodded before I chuckled.“I thought as much. I am an admirer of your father’s work. I can agree that the meteorite was the reason for the Old Ocean to form. Say, do you have any work that he has never published before?” I said as Daisy seemed a little bit lost in translation there.I guess she did not read her father’s paper.“Hmm, I don’t think there were unpublished papers for my father but I can look it up if you wanted to,” she said as I was staring at the grey orbs that were glaring at me. Daisy was looking at me before she turned to look at Dylan Windell as well.He was w

I know what my mother was telling him. he should have not gone down on Daisy when they were in the garden.Fun Fact: everyone as looking at their show tonight, including my mother and me.I chuckled lowly before I was looking at the retreating car that my mother rode with Daisy before Dylan was calling someone. He cursed as I was walking up to him.“Say, if it wasn’t for Dylan Windell, son of Professor Theodore George Windell. I thought I would not have a chance to talk to you tonight,” I said as I was correcting my cuff links as Dylan turned to look at me. I smiled at him before he rolled his eyes.So much for a family reunion.“What do you want?” he asked me as I was looking at the sky. I know that Windell was the Wielder of the Wind and they were controlled by their emotions. I just hoped that Dylan
