-=Martina's Point of View=-It felt like the time was dragging for too long, or maybe it was just me since I kept on looking at the time, and when I checked again after waiting for ten minutes, I saw that it was only one in the afternoon.A deep sigh escaped my lips without me noticing it, and unfortunately, Annie, who was with me in the garden, heard it."What's wrong, Martina?" she asked."Nothing," I replied, trying to act like there was nothing bothering me, but Annie knew me better now after spending time with me since I arrived on this island, and she knew if I was trying to hide something or not."I don't believe you," she said, looking at me knowingly.I decided not to speak as I continued staring at the tulips in front of us, and after a few minutes had passed, Annie decided to speak again."Is it about Jackson?" she asked.I suddenly looked at her after hearing the name, and I could see a knowing look on her face, as if she was sure that was what was bothering me.I didn't t

-=Martina's Point of View=-I woke up the following morning still feeling lightheaded, but it didn't take long to remember what happened last night.I was about to meet with Kian last night, and I wanted to ask him how he managed to disappear the other night without me noticing it. Another thing that I wanted to ask was, even though I wasn't sure if it was sensible to ask about the tales about the dangerous man who lives on the western side of the island, which happened to be where Kian was living.I was eager to see him last night, but I didn't expect that instead of finding Kian, I would find Zion, who had just returned from the hospital.When I thought of Zion, I couldn't help but feel a surge of guilt in my chest, followed by self-reproach.To think that I was so sure that I could face Zion and tell him about my wrongdoing, but when I was facing Zion, I didn't have the courage to tell him at all, and what does that make me?"Shameless and a coward, that's who I am," I thought to m

-=Martina's Point of View=-"There was definitely no other day!"That was what was running through my mind after returning to my room after waiting outside for Kian to come.A sigh of frustration and hurt passed my lips when it dawned on me that it has been three days now since our failed meeting when Zion unexpectedly returned, where I found him standing in my and Kian's meeting place, and ever since that day, I haven't failed to leave the castle and have waited for him patiently.I waited for him to see me for three days, and yet, it only made me disappointed and lonely.My longing for Kian had grown so strong that I was on the verge of embarking on a voyage to the western part of the island, where he lived, only to see him again. Fortunately, my sensible side won out. I recognized that going into that area of the island would almost certainly result in my being a meal for the terrible monsters that lurked there."Maybe it is better for me to be fed those animals," I bitterly told m

-=Martina's Point of View=-The following morning, Annie didn't show up, which she usually does to help me prepare for breakfast, but I was expecting it already because of what happened last night."She already knew," I thought to myself as I recalled the hurt and betrayal I caused her.She admired and respected Zion, but above all this, I think the most painful factor was that I used her and lied to her, and just thinking about it already brought tears to my eyes.I kept convincing myself that I had no right to cry since I wasn't the victim, but I couldn't stop the tears from falling freely through my eyes.I didn't feel like leaving my room, but I knew that I had to do it. Zion would be worried if I acted this way, and the possibility that I might see Annie in the dining room forced me to get out of bed and prepare myself for the day. But when I got to the dining room, I didn't see Annie anywhere, making me think that she was probably avoiding me."I will talk to her again and ask f

-=Martina's Point of View=-"Is this some kind of joke for you?"I was startled when I heard her question as I continued looking at Annie."I'm here to ask for your forgiveness, Annie, and to fix our friendship," I said pleadingly."Am I the one who should really ask for forgiveness?" she asked.Her words immediately brought Zion to mind. She was right; if there was anyone who deserved my apology, it was him. I vowed to seek his forgiveness once I confessed my fault to him."And I am planning to ask for Zion's forgiveness, but for now, I know I hurt you and broke your trust, and I wanted to make it up to you," I said."Martina, you're changing my opinion of you even more."I was stunned when I heard her words, and I couldn't think of anything to reply to that, and before I could mutter a word, she continued talking."Do you expect that once you get here and talk to me, everything will be back to normal? Like nothing happened? Like a day away from you will somehow make me forget what y
