Chapter 43

Samantha's POV

For me, our lives didn't change that much, but for Jacob and Theo—it did, big time. I know they're having a hard time living a new life, which was far from their lives before. They said, we'll have a vacation on this island, turns out we will live a simple life like the other people here.

The island is private, but there are people living here. Most of them are families of fishermen, and they seem to love the life here.
