Loving the Cold-Hearted Alpha Lionel のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 111 - チャプター 120

REGINARay was so busy talking and chatting happily that he did not notice me being calm in the bus.After spotting Lionel in the bus, I made my way to the seat at the front part, just where our tour guide was positioned, giving broken-down details of the ride. I knew by the time the tour began and I and Ray were discussing, it would be difficult to pick out our conversation. Plus, there were other people in the bus—an old man and his wife and two chit-chatty friends—that were already talking non-stop from the moment we stepped into the bus. There were other touring instructions given and then the bus began its way into the forest with the tour guide already giving her talks, all friendly and joyful.“For a researcher like me, I found this totally fun. You may not find it fun because this isn’t exactly the tourist attraction here in the Maldives, but it is stacked with details of things that you definitely don’t want to miss out on.” Ray was sayi

REGINAAt first, it felt like a dream, but then it was happening right before my eyes. Something is wrong. I heard Ruby whisper from within me. The driver of the bus had gotten down earlier and was discussing something with the tour guide and the only people in the bus with me were the old man and woman so when the bus started shaking, I immediately knew it was not the driver that was trying to start it or something. In fact, it was looking much like a prank the first time. We need to get down. I heard Ruby again. We need to get down now!The bus groaned just then and slid off the hill; it’s one of it’s rear tires already scraping off the edge until it leaned in, ready to capside down the hill. “Run!” I yelled. There were screams and chaos, and once chaos came, there was nothing but disorganization among everyone. The old man and woman shook with fear as they ran for the entrance of the door, where the driver and tour guide w

LIONEL Regina had not been the only one hurt. The goal of trying to save her from the spinning bus had taken more energy than was required of me to give off at any given point. Plus, even before I passed out, just as the ambulance arrived and injected me with sedatives, I could see the confusion on the people’s faces and the wonder written all over it. I could almost read the questions their minds were asking. Did a man just slow a car right before our eyes by pulling it while sliding? Did he just hop like a beast over the bus and cling to the mountain alongside the woman? Did he just do all these and was still wide awake? To reduce their suspicions and questions, I had to act even more drained than I actually was and then the medics finished up the work. I awoke in something that would have passed for a hospital but it was just some mini-clinic attached to the hotel where I was lodged. I had asked

LIONEL I was yet to leave the driver back in the clinic when he asked the question that aroused my curiosity. “The lady is your wife? I’ve not seen her since the accident. I’m still checking around the clinic. I couldn’t have known she was your wife. You both were not…” Yeah, yeah, yeah... I knew what was running through his mind. My own wife basically spent the whole time discussing with another man while I stayed in that same bus, acting like she didn’t even exist until she almost died. “I know, she’s my wife, though.” I replied. There was a way the driver kept staring at me, like he was mesmerised by the mere appearance of me. “And your wife, do you think she’ll be okay enough for a trip tomorrow?” He was suspicious of us and I could see it. Not like he was already thinking we were werewolves or something. More like he was trying to understand us, particularly to see just wh

LIONEL I joined the bus as I met the driver. “Hey, good morning.” The driver greeted me in the most absurdly friendly manner ever. “Good morning,” I replied. “Looks like you’d be joining us today.” He mentioned. I got into the bus now and took my usual position at the back. There were new faces of tourists in the new bus. In fact, I recognized none. And Regina was not present. Neither was Ray. Where the fuck were they? “Yes, I’d be joining you.” I replied. “That means your wife’s all good?” I scanned again for Regina. She truly wasn’t in the goddamned bus. “Yeah.” I replied. “Wait, she’s not here yet. I assume she’s yet to come.” “I guess she’s joined another rider.” “Another rider?” “Yeah, there was a bus that came earlier for tourists that wanted to start their journey much earlier today.” He repl
