MasukCHAPTER 111: A Painful SolutionANGIE's POV:Arthur was catching fish using his knife tied to a long stick. Meanwhile, I was making banana cue using the bananas Arthur had gathered last night. Using a stick I found, I skewered the bananas just so I had something to do.I also tried to start a fire using two stones because I didn't want to rely completely on the man I was with. Otherwise, he might hold it against me once we get back to Manila. This man is a big guilt-tripper, after all.This was the scene between Arthur and me—both of us were busy with our own tasks.I couldn't help but miss my child, Iza. I only intended to save the child, but our situation became much worse.As I rubbed the two stones together, I suddenly stopped when Arthur let out a sharp cry of pain from where he was standing in the sea. When I looked over at him again, I saw him quickly sitting down on the sand while holding his foot.I also saw that he had caught a fish, as it was speared on his blade. Because o
Chapter 110: Desperate MeasuresCINDY'S POV:"NOOOOOO!!! IT CAN'T BE!!!! I DON'T WANT TO GO TO JAIL!" I screamed at the top of my lungs when I saw and heard my name clearly mentioned alongside my picture on the news.Arthur himself turned me in to the police. He completely turned his back on me just because of his and Angie's damn child. I didn't even know who actually took the kid—our plan got botched, and I failed.So, to avoid Arthur's questions, I decided to lay low for a while to think of excuses I could use if he started suspecting me.However, I never expected that my leaving would give him a reason to file charges against me. The bodyguard I conspired with was also far too stupid. The fool confessed immediately and quickly dragged my name into it.Now here I am, publicly humiliated because of a case filed against me by my own fiancé."No. I refuse. My reputation can't just be ruined like this," I said, shaking my head.Out of sheer frustration, I began to trash the place. I th
Chapter 109: Clashing ViewsARTHUR'S POV:Instead of forgiving me, it seemed I said the wrong words again, which caused her attitude toward me to shift once more.Women are truly something else. Their moods constantly change depending on what they are feeling.I really thought Angie and I were making progress last night because we had a good conversation. But now that a new day has arrived, fresh anger has overflowed in her heart again.I honestly don't know how to win her over when all the wrongdoings I committed in the past keep coming back to her mind.So right now, neither of us is talking. Even though I want to speak with Angie, she keeps avoiding me. We are the only two people on this island, yet I can't even have a proper conversation with her."Angie, can you please set aside your anger for a moment? Look, in a situation like this, the two of us need to work together. Let's not let pride get in the way because no one else is going to save us here except ourselves," I said to h
Chapter 108: The Unwelcome ViewANGIE'S POV:The sunlight woke me up. Arthur and I were talking so much last night that we didn't notice when we both fell asleep.Arthur saved me for the second time. I never thought he had the courage to kill that snake last night so I could avoid getting bitten. And not only that, he knows a lot about situations like this. He can surely survive here even for several days. But me? I don't think I can last in a place like this without enough food and clean water. Only buko (young coconut) serves as our drink so we won't get thirsty.When I woke up, I left him sleeping soundly on the sand.I needed to pee, so I chose to get up and relieve myself at the edge. It would be embarrassing to pee close to where he was sleeping.My clothes had also dried because of the strong breeze last night, so I wasn't shivering anymore.When I reached the large boulder at the edge, I immediately pulled down my panties and shorts and squatted to let the urine out. I was shi
CHAPTER 107: THE TRAGIC NEWS ON THE ISLANDMARK's POV:"I didn't kidnap Iza. She's my sister. We share the same father... So there's no reason for you to handcuff and arrest me. I'm not an accomplice of Cindy either." Those were the words I kept emphasizing after they arrested me.There were police officers here in the house where the child and I were staying. I couldn't believe that authorities would actually reach this place.They were Manila police officers, so I was sure Dad and Angie had taken action to search for Iza. That was why I calmly faced them to answer their questions.The truth about Cindy's evil plan for the child had already been exposed. Because of that, they were insisting that I was involved with the woman in kidnapping Iza."I'm sorry, Mr. Mark, but you still need to come with us to Manila to give a statement," the police officer told me."I am definitely going to give a statement. But you don't need to handcuff m
CHAPTER 106: THE ISLAND, THE SNAKE, AND THE FIREARTHUR'S POV:There is no forgiveness for what I did to Angie. I admit that I destroyed her dignity because I let my anger toward her take over back then. Not only did I ruin her life — but also the lives of our child and the two of us.That is why I know a simple 'sorry' cannot equal the pain I caused her and Iza. I do not even know how and where to begin.And I think destiny itself found a way for me to slowly make it up to Angie. Neither of us asked to end up in this situation. Neither of us wanted to get trapped on an island with just the two of us. So I thought that maybe this is the sign I prayed to God for to lighten the sins I committed against Angie.That is why I will not waste this opportunity while we are the only people here on the island.Even though the entire surroundings here in the jungle are dark, I chose to gather my courage just to find food. I could sense that Angie
CHAPTER 2ANGIE’s POVI spent the next three hours burying myself in work, trying to drown out Lesly’s accusations against my boyfriend. Her words were still ringing in my ears, and I couldn't stop overthinking—especially since Mark still hadn't reached out to me.It’s a difficult situation to be i
CHAPTER 1ANGIE's POV;"You’re getting quite fat, aren’t you, Angie? Your body has changed so much. Look at those rolls—they're practically in three layers. You should go on a proper diet so your boyfriend doesn't leave you for a sexier woman," my aunt remarked as she passed by the table where I sat
CHAPTER 5:ANGIE’S POVWhen I returned home, my mother was overflowing with worry. Any mother would react this way seeing her daughter—who had left the house perfectly fine—returning in such a battered state."Goodness, Angeline! What happened to you? Who did this? And wait, where is your boyfriend
CHAPTER 4ANGIE’s POVMark’s father returned to the room pushing a wheelchair. He was clearly serious about his promise to drive me home himself.I watched in silence as he unfolded the wheelchair. I realized he intended to use it so he wouldn't have any trouble moving me downstairs. Once the wheel
