"Are you that afraid of the cold?" Layla chuckled."You said that we are going to climb a mountain, right?""Yeah! Just get the long one! I'm not teasing you. You are tall, so you won't look chubby even if you wear long jackets."Eric slid the jacket on and instantly started to feel hot as the store was equipped with a heater that was turned on. "I'll get this one, then!" Eric took it off."Buy a pair of winter trousers, too, or your legs will get cold." Layla stood in front of the shelf and handed him a pair of trousers.He accepted it and checked the size."Is the size right? I took a random one." Layla did not know his measurements."It's perfect." He went into the fitting room with the trousers, while Layla went to the ladies' section and looked at a few clothes that were of a similar style to the ones Eric had chosen. "Miss, would you like to try this one here? It's the same style as the one your boyfriend picked. A lot of couples buy these and wear them as couples wear

Layla's words insinuated that even if he continued to stay in Cambrode, she would not be with him. Eric understood what she meant but kept his composure. "I will check to see if there're any other tourist spots after this.""My assistant made a travel plan. I will get her to send it to you," Layla said."Sure. Why didn't your assistant come with you?" Eric asked."She is coming here today as well. I told her to come with us, but she said she's going there by herself as she doesn't want to get in our way."An hour later, the car stopped at the bottom of the mountain.It was a famous spot for tourists, so it was swarming with people."The snow isn't that heavy here," Eric said after getting out. "Wear your hat and scarf properly. The temperature is lower here."Layal put on her hat and scarf, covering everything but her eyes. Though she was already twenty-five years old, her eyes still looked as innocent and pure as that of a child's."Gloves." He glanced at her eyes and remi

Layla was clearly not interested in the snacks he bought. "I don't like these.""You didn't eat enough during breakfast," Eric said. "There are no expensive snacks here. You can eat these if you get hungry later.""I never said that I want expensive snacks," she retorted. "I just don't like snacks in general.""You like fruits, but they don't sell those here." Eric knew what she liked but was not sure if her preferences had changed."I wouldn't buy fruits even if they sell them here. It's too heavy. It's not like we are spending the night there." She glanced at the line in front of her. "It's quite fast to get there by cable car. It's really cold up there, so anyone who manages to stay there for over half an hour should consider themselves heroes.""Have you bought the tickets for the return trip?" Eric studied the cable car moving in the distance."I bought round-trip tickets."Soon, it was their turn, and Layla took off her gloves to unlock her phone and showed her reservation

Layla thought about it and took out her phone, unlocked it, and handed it over to him."Where are we going to stand?" Layla asked.As more and more tourists arrived, the small piece of land soon began to feel crowded.Some of the tourists even started to walk up the slope to find a better spot to take pictures.Eric looked around while holding her phone and Layla searched around as well."Everywhere is packed," she said. "Just take a few photos here!""Come here." Eric waved his hand at Layla. He had found a corner with fewer people.Layla immediately walked toward him.He found a spot lower down the gentle slope. "The view isn't as great, but we only need to capture the side that looks good on the photo."He meant for them to climb down and go back up once they took the photos.Layla observed her surroundings and realized that it would not be an issue for them to climb down as there were footprints leading down. "Are we really going that far for a few photos?" she said as

"The light seems a bit dim." She glanced at the photo before looking up at the sky. "It's windy here.""You can always edit the photo afterwards," he said. "Are you cold?""A bit. Let's not take any more photos." She took the phone from him. "Eric, I asked you to come here to tell you that we should stop seeing each and contacting each other."She summoned the courage to speak her mind. Her heart was racing by the time she was done, and she immediately bowed her head to avoid looking at him."I can't restart my life until I cut all ties with you." She stared at the snow at her feet. She felt a lump in her throat. She had not felt the urge to cry since she had come to a decision a few days ago."Of course, Layla," Eric said calmly. "If this can help you turn over a new page in your life, I won't object to it. I will never bother you or your family."She immediately looked up. "That's not what I mean. You are a close friend of Mom. I don't want your friendship to be affected by me.

"Let's search for a place to brace for impact!" Eric had acted in movies which had scenes similar to the situation they were in, and he knew the basics of what to do in an avalanche. "If we can't run, we need to wait for rescue to come."There was no way to predict natural disasters, and though the screaming had not ceased, Layla felt much more at ease.In the worst-case scenario, she would die with Eric. Her parents had other children, and they would not need to mourn for long over them. The only regret she felt was that she had asked Eric to come to Cambrode. Had she not done it, he would have never come, and he would not be in this disaster."I'm so sorry, Eric." Layla could not see how they would make it out of this alive, and she had to say what was on her mind while she still could. "I shouldn't have asked you to come here. I put you in this situation.""It's not your fault, Layla! We aren't the only people here; no one can predict something like this! Don't feel guilty! Do

The snow crashed down on him with his back taking the brunt of the impact."Eric!" she tried to touch his head. "Eric, move closer! Closer! It's fine if you are pressing against me!"The space was far too small and though she wanted to grab his arm, her arm would bump into the wall as soon as she moved."... It's fine... I'm fine," Eric said weakly. "Just wait. It's not over yet...""Why are you so good to me, Eric? Is it really just because I'm Avery Tate's daughter? Is that really the only reason why you like me?" Darkness loomed over them and though Layla could not see his face, she could sense his breath on her skin. "I regret it now, Eric. I don't want to cut all ties with you.""Let's talk about something else, Layla!" Eric did not know how much longer he could withstand it."If we get out of here alive, I'm marrying you," Layla said. "Eric, if you die and I get to live, I'm not marrying anyone for the rest of my life.""Don't say that, Layla. I should have been dead a lon

The avalanche had disrupted and damaged the communication system in the area, so there was no hope in calling for help.Thankfully, the avalanche immediately made international news.The other two employees of Tate Industries who were in the hotel received the news and started calling Layla and her assistant Emma right away."Ms. Tate won't pick up.""Neither will Emma. The signal has to be out over there! What should we do? Should we order a taxi and go there?""The roads are probably all blocked!""So are we just going to stand here and wait?! If something happens to Ms. Tate, we—""Stop being so pessimistic! Ms. Tate didn't go alone. Eric Santos went with her, didn't he?""So what if he did? There's a gigantic avalanche. It's not like Eric can control it! You have probably seen too many movies and have mistaken him for some kind of hero!""Why are you shouting at me?! I just want Ms. Tate to be safe."The two argued heatedly."We need to call Mr. Foster! Are you doing it

She could not help but shiver as she found her phone and called Hayden."Hayden, Layla is in danger! She went to the mountain with Eric, and there was an avalanche! Your dad and I will go to Cambrode right away! You inserted a GPS chip into Layla's phone before, right? Check to see if you can locate her!"Hayden immediately tensed at her voice and said, "I'll look into it right away! Don't worry. I will head to Cambrode right away as well! I will find her!"Avery sobbed her response before hanging up.Elliot had ended the call with his assistant and was calling another person to submit a request to fly.There was only one flight per day in the morning that departed from Aryadelle to Cambrode, and if they wished to depart immediately, they would need to take a private jet, but all private jets needed to be registered with the Air Défense Department and a flight course would need to be provided.By the time Elliot ended the phone call, Avery was already in tears.She had gone thro

Avery was on her way to the airport, and her heart sank when she received the call from Emma.She put the call on speakerphone so that Elliot could hear it as well. Unable to contain herself, she shrieked as soon as Emma answered the call. "Emma!""Ms. Tate, I can't reach Layla at all! She won't answer her phone! I just escaped the mountain, and I don't even know where I am right now... I've traveled so far to get a signal. There has been a horrible avalanche! I'm so scared!" Emma cried. "I don't know if Layla is still on that mountain... It's hell on earth over there!"When the avalanche took place, Emma was at the bottom of the mountain where there was a lot of space leading to different roads.The people around her instantly started running when they saw the avalanche, and since it was Emma's first time seeing such a disaster, she did not know the severity of the situation and stood still for a while.She did not start running until she saw waves of snow bearing down on her, an
