Chapter 283 Signal
Last Updated:
2025-09-03 11:13:47The signal needed bright colour, so Ashton told me to coat the exposed sides of the stones in red.
Make-up was useless on the island, so I wasn’t upset by the request. In fact, I was almost excited, glad to be useful again. My mood was ridiculously cheerful.
When the lipstick was ground down to an unrecognisable stub and the final ‘S’ was in place, I stepped back and admired the result.
[SOS]
As I stood there, arms folded, sea breeze in my face, a thought struck me. I broke into a run, back to my suitcase, and began rummaging again.
Ashton, busy tying bark over the cone-shaped frame, glanced my way. ‘What are you looking for?’
‘You’ll see,’ I said, still digging.
Seconds later, my triumphant voice rang out. ‘Found it.’
He looked over to see a camera in my hands.
I carried it to the lipstick SOS and began snapping photos.
Ashton, meanwhile, kept working wi

The standfirst glared at me, mocking: ‘Ashton Laurent and Lea Lopez at Business Dinner. Romance Confirmed?’My phone screen glittered with the photo, Ashton seated at a long table, Lea leaning close, a smile curved just so, her hand grazing the stem of her glass as if she were starring in some perfectly staged advert for power couples.The article went on to describe them as a natural match, old friends with a shared history, equals in ambition and ruthlessness.A note at the bottom added, almost casually, that Ashton’s ex-girlfriend, a jewellery designer based partly in Paris, had been absent from public view, ‘perhaps laying down roots abroad’.That last line twisted like a knife.I forced myself to breathe. This was not the first time I had seen Ashton in the news with another woman.Rowan Hale had once plastered her smile across the tabloids beside his. That story had been nothing but a manipulation on Rowan
I Slapped My Fiancé—Then Married His Billionaire Nemesis Chapter 287 Back to Skyline
The flight back to Skyline stretched on endlessly, though the captain insisted it was just under seven hours.Time did not obey clocks when your mind was chasing itself in circles.I barely touched the champagne the flight attendant pressed into my hand. Instead, I spent most of the journey staring at the clouds through the oval window, chewing on the inside of my cheek until I could taste copper.The man in the seat beside me, a trim sort of executive with a navy suit and a smile polished to boardroom standards, decided I looked like an easy target for conversation.‘First time visiting Skyline?’ he asked, with the kind of bright cheerfulness that belonged to someone determined to network at thirty thousand feet.‘No,’ I said, adjusting the blanket across my lap.He leaned closer, as if I had just opened the door to more. ‘Do you live there or work there? I’m in tech investments myself. Always interesting

‘How’s he?’Yvaine rolled her eyes at me while she pared an apple with a knife. ‘Shouldn’t you be more worried about yourself? Doc said your fever nearly fried your brain.’‘I’m fine now,’ I said, though my voice was still hoarse.It had been three days since the rescue.The helicopter that landed on the island hadn’t been a rescue helicopter at all. It was a team of location scouts from a TV production crew, searching for a spot to film a survival reality show.The sudden storm had blown them off their course and straight onto the island.But as the saying goes, misfortune can be a blessing in disguise. Thanks to that storm, they had stumbled on an ideal location that wasn’t even on their list.With their help, Ashton and I were flown out and sent straight to the nearest hospital.I drifted in and out of consciousness on the journey, too feverish to keep track o

His right hand was trembling violently. It was still covered by a diving glove.I remembered asking him once why he always kept it on. He had said it made work easier. It seemed reasonable enough, so I hadn’t questioned it.But now...My breath caught as I reached for his gloved hand. He was unconscious, unable to resist, and I peeled the glove away with ease. When it came free, I clapped a hand over my mouth to stop a cry escaping.His right hand.The palm was split by a raw, unhealed gash. The whole hand was swollen, red, eaten away by infection. It was barely recognisable as a hand at all. The wound had been there for days, festering until it rotted like this.My chest ached with worry, but another question gnawed at me. When had he hurt himself? What could have done this?I forced myself to think back. And then it struck me. That afternoon when we dived in the deep sea. After the tsunami, when we lost our torches, Ashton had
I Slapped My Fiancé—Then Married His Billionaire Nemesis Chapter 284 High Fever
That night, the breeze grew cooler. I pulled my long-sleeved shirt tighter around me and leaned towards the shelter of the hut.I didn’t dare move too much, though, because Ashton was lying just behind me, asleep.We were taking turns to sleep half the night each. I tried to stay alert, but my eyelids grew heavy.Suddenly, a chill brushed my arm. Startled, I opened my eyes. A few droplets had fallen onto the sleeve of my shirt.Before I could react, more rain came spattering down on me.The weather changed in an instant.I sprang up and ducked into the hut. Even so, I couldn’t avoid the downpour completely. My chest, back and legs were soon speckled with drops, and though I wasn’t as bedraggled as a drowned rat, I looked at least half like one. The damp clothes clung to me uncomfortably.I glanced at Ashton.He must have been exhausted from the day, because he slept on soundly without stirring.A shiver
