I froze.

A second later, the meaning of his words hit me.

Panic surged as I spun my head from side to side, scanning the endless sea.

Nothing to the left.

Nor to the right.

Ahead, nothing.

Behind, nothing.

I should’ve have known: a tiny yacht in the face of such destruction had almost no chance of surviving.

Ashton and I were stranded at sea.

The thought made me clutch the regulator in my hand.

Kicking hard, I swam towards the small island ahead.

Ashton followed swiftly.

I scrambled onto the sand, tearing off the oxygen tank and flippers, flinging them aside as I stumbled along the beach.

My eyes darted frantically, searching for something.

Ashton reached the shore a few moments later. His longer strides closed the gap between us in seconds. He caught my arm, his grip firm, his voice calm and cool.

‘Calm down.’

I didn’t even look at him. With a twis

  • I Slapped My Fiancé—Then Married His Billionaire Nemesis   Chapter 280 Going into the Forest

    We trekked a good distance without finding anything else from the yacht.My legs began to ache, and I rubbed them absently. Ahead stretched only more endless beach.Frustration rose inside me. This island was far too big for just the two of us to finish searching, yet it was too small to be spotted easily by the rescue teams, if there were any.I kept the thought to myself. The more I dwelt on it, the more I wished I could travel back in time and slap myself for rushing into a diving trip, and for dragging Ashton into this mess with me.Then I noticed that Ashton had veered off the beach.He was heading straight into the forest.I stopped.Daylight made it safer, but I still felt uneasy. The thick trees pressed close, heavy with shade. I had always feared that kind of suffocating place.‘Are we really going in there?’ I called.Ashton glanced back. He paused mid-step, then turned fully to face me.He reached out and caught my hand.The heat of his palm startled me.Then he spoke in a

  • I Slapped My Fiancé—Then Married His Billionaire Nemesis   Chapter 279 No Signal

    I clutched the leaf dress tighter against my chest. I didn’t understand.Ashton didn’t wait for me to move but reached forward himself.My body stiffened. Surely he wouldn’t try to strip me by force? They say desperate situations bring out the worst in people. But I refused to believe Ashton would do something like that.Confusion filled me. I tightened my grip on the leaf dress and raised my other hand defensively into a fist.His hand came closer.But at the last second, it bypassed me and reached behind.A moment later, he pulled something free.My wetsuit.I blinked, realising I must have slept on top of it without noticing.Ashton shook out the wetsuit to dry it. But as he did, something dropped from the pocket and landed at his feet with a soft thud.We both looked down at once.For a heartbeat, we both froze, then excitement sparked.A phone.I had forgotten I had taken it with me into the water.I practically leapt to snatch it up, pulling it from the waterproof pouch.I had c

    My palms dampened with sweat, though my body had been chilled moments before. Irritation welled up, wave after wave.He was silent, but his mind was clearly turning. Was he thinking the same thing? That he was stranded here because of me? Was he regretting following me?But I hadn’t asked him to come. Why should he blame me? If we were handing out blame, wasn’t it him who had ruined my peaceful cruise, him who had paraded a new girlfriend in front of me?The emotions twisted tighter and tighter until they strangled my reason.I snatched the bundle of branches from his hands. ‘Why won’t you say anything? Do you think I’m useless? A burden? That I can’t do anything? Why should you keep watch alone? I can do it too! These branches, whatever you’re trying to make, I can do it! Why won’t you let me? Why do you always decide for me?’Sweat rolled down my forehead as I glared at him, face burning red,

    The sudden pull threw me off balance. My body tipped sideways and I began to sink.But instead of plunging endlessly, I landed against a broad chest.I blinked, disoriented, and looked up at the man holding me. His face was hidden by the scuba mask.I glared at him, irritated, and tried to wriggle free, raising my hands to signal that he should put me down.Instead of complying, Ashton pressed my shoulder, stopping me before I could move further, and signed faster than I could. ‘Something’s wrong. Don’t move.’Even without sound, I felt the weight of his warning.I froze. He wasn’t joking.I signed back, ‘What is it?’He didn’t answer. Still holding me, he tilted his head upwards.I followed his gaze. At first I saw only water shifting above us. Then I noticed the ripples spreading wider, stronger, gathering momentum.Ashton’s eyes lingered on the disturbance f

  • I Slapped My Fiancé—Then Married His Billionaire Nemesis   Chapter 275 Mira: Scuba Diving

    ‘Mira.’‘Damn it,’ I muttered under my breath, then got up to leave.‘Stay.’ Ashton blocked my way.I glanced around, searching for an escape route.The restaurant was one of three on board, and this wasn’t even lunchtime. I thought I’d be safe here. How did he even find me?‘I’m busy,’ I said.‘Doing what?’I nearly said ‘work’, the excuse I’d used for the past two months, then remembered I was on a cruise ship.A group of guys strolled past, carrying scuba gear.‘Diving,’ I blurted. ‘I signed up for a class, and I’m running late.’‘I’ll come with you.’I let out an exasperated sigh. ‘I don’t want you to come with me. Shouldn’t you be enjoying this perfect afternoon with your new girlfriend?’I pushed past him without waiting for an a
