-=Martina's Point of View=-I was so excited the following morning that I managed to wake up before the sound of my alarm, and without waiting for the alarm to turn on, I automatically turned it off."What a great day!" I murmured to myself while looking outside of my room.It was such a perfect day; the sun was high up in the sky, and there was no sign of possible rain that would ruin my day.Such a perfect day for committing a crime!Well, it's not really a crime since I was just going to break a certain rule from someone who is supposed to be the ruler of this island.Even though I was already awake, I still remained lying down, taking all the time in the world, and the excitement was making my heart beat really fast.I wasn't sure what to expect in town, but based on Annie's account, it seemed to be a tiny city with all the necessities.I probably stayed lying down in bed for twenty minutes before finally getting out of bed, and the first thing I did was take a quick shower and br
-=Martina's Point of View=-Honestly, I didn't know where to go; there is a huge cinema, a freaking mall in the middle of the town, and other recreational stuff to choose from.I really feel that this isn't just a town but a small city, based on the things you can find here.I hate to admit it, but I was impressed by Zion's efforts to ensure that the people here were safe and living a comfortable life. It was more than satisfactory; therefore, it was no surprise that those who lived here adored and cherished Zion to the core."If only he didn't lie and fulfill his promise," I thought to myself, and when I realized what I was doing, I immediately dismissed that thought and started thinking of what to do next.I considered going to the amusement park, but first I tried to remember what Annie had told me, and then I remembered that they were going to the amusement park tomorrow, so there was very little likelihood of running into them."The amusement it is!" I excitedly exclaimed.The am
-=Martina's Point of View=-A lot of things were running through my mind as I waited for my demise. The cruel man was still covering my mouth as he gaped at me with burning desire, making it obvious what they were planning to do to me.I tried hard not to cry because I didn't want them to think that they were scaring me, but when I thought that I couldn't even get the chance to see my dad again, I couldn't stop the tears from falling in my eyes."Don't cry, pretty lady; we're not here to hurt you, so don't be scared," he said, mistaking my crying as a sign of fear towards them."That's right; as a matter of fact, we're here to make you feel better," the second man said, not even hiding the lust in his eyes as he hungrily looked me from head to toe, giving me the creep.The third guy was standing still a few feet away from us, but there was no mistaking the burning desire in his eyes as well.Honestly, the chance of escaping was impossible. I mean, if they managed to catch up to me whi
-=Martina's Point of View=-I felt an unexplainable fear while seeing them standing there, and I couldn’t help but feel guilty for involving this stranger in the mess I put myself into.I doubted that he could defeat these three big men in front of us, and when I briefly looked at him, I noticed that he was taller than them, probably around six feet and two inches, but the other three men were sturdier and more menacing than he was.“What can I do for you guys?” he asked calmly as if he had no clue of the danger these three men were in.“For starters, you can hand that pretty lady over to us; you see, she’s my girlfriend, and we had a bit of quarreling, and she ran away,” the blue-eyed man shamelessly claimed.As much as I didn’t want to get him involved anymore, I needed to tell him the truth, and it’s up to him whether he would act like a hero and try to protect and still end up hurt, or he could just walk away, leaving me to my own demise.“That’s a lie, and they were going to ra…”
-=Martina's Point of View=-I don't know how long I stared at the Semper Augustus; honestly, I was staring at it without seeing it because my mind was elsewhere.Since I awoke this morning, all I've been thinking about is the handsome man who saved me from certain doom, the stranger who shared the same eye color as my husband.I was absolutely certain that Zion and Kian had the same eye color, and considering how unnerving I was feeling whenever Zion kept looking at me, it was already etched in my mind that while Zion's gaze was cold, Kian's gaze was somewhat warm and friendly.I had never seen someone as stunning as Kian; he was more attractive than those so-called celebrities that young and old women admired and idolized.I couldn’t help but remember the time when I finally saw his face—his whole face bathed in the light from the moon, giving him an ethereal vibe.I bet any artist would pay an arm and a leg just to capture that moment, be it on the canvas or on stone, and I believe
-=Martina's Point of View=-I didn't realize I fell asleep while thinking about Kian, and now that my mind is clear, it has made my resolution stronger than earlier.I decided to really meet him later, probably thank him for saving me, and lastly, tell him the truth: that I am Zion's wife.Honestly, I didn't know if he was from this island or not, but then I remembered what the blue-eyed man said to him before they fought.The blue-eyed man said that they were the same, which probably meant that they were from the same country, but since the three bad guys knew about Zion, then most likely he knew who Zion was.I could already imagine the shock he would be feeling once he learned that my husband was Zion Montgomery, and I was already expecting him to leave me alone, knowing full well that I was the wife of a very powerful person.I ignored the disappointment inside me when I thought of not seeing him anymore after tonight; this is the right thing to do.I checked the time and saw that
-=Martina's Point of View=-"What's wrong?" I heard Kian ask.He probably detected my hesitation after discovering that he was living on a part of the island that was considered dangerous, not to mention forbidden to anyone.I suddenly remembered the white wolf I had seen before. Yeah, it looked majestic and beautiful, but the fact that that creature was dangerous still remained, and now he was telling me that we would be going there."Are you sure you're really living on the western part of the island?" I asked once more."Yeah, of course, it should be right there," he said, pointing somewhere, and based on the place he pointed, it was definitely on the western part.After learning about those particular details, I finally managed to wake up from my trance, making me feel more nervous than ever.He didn't say a word after that, but I noticed that he was observing me with an unwavering gaze, making me feel flustered all of a sudden."Why do you look frightened? Do you think that I hav
-=Martina's Point of View=- I didn’t know how long I was gaping while looking at Kian; I was still trying to process what he just said, thinking that maybe I heard him incorrectly or maybe he said something differently, but whatever ransacked I did in my brain, the truth still remained. He knew who I was, and he knew that I was Zion’s wife! But how did he know about it? I wonder. “Why do you look so shocked? Is it a secret that you didn’t want me to know?" He asked, looking curious. “Of course not! If I wanted to keep it a secret, then I wouldn’t tell you about it,” I said. “Fair point,” he responded nonchalantly. “I was just surprised that you knew about it and acted like you didn’t know anything.” “Why? Do you want me to treat you differently? Would you like me to serve you like a peasant serves their master?” He asked. “Of co… course not,” I replied. I couldn't imagine if Kian started to treat me like those people in the castle; it also made me wonder if that happened, woul
