The night felt endless to Vincent until a ray of dawn broke through the cave mouth and fell over them."It's morning," he said.Vincent let out a deep sigh, feeling as if a crushing weight had been lifted off his shoulders. Soon, they would see the light of day again.If Marisol and the others hadn't found him on Breeze Island, they would surely guess that he had fallen into this hidden place."Yes, it's morning."Samara echoed his words softly, her chest tightening at the thought of parting. Once they left this place, when would she ever have the chance to be this close to him again?"Can you walk?" Vincent asked.He didn't want to wait any longer. Since there was no way out from above, they needed to search for a way out down here.Samara nodded. Though a part of her secretly longed to stay here a little longer, she knew she couldn't risk Vincent's life for a few more hours together."Has your fever gone down?" she asked with concern."I'm fine. Finding a way out is more im

Back at the inn at Breeze Island, the moment Marisol helped a pale-faced Vincent through the doors, Laura hurried over. She asked worriedly, "Vincent! What happened to you?"Shaking his head weakly, Vincent replied, "It's nothing. I'm just a little tired."The physical toll was the least of it. What weighed on him was the face beneath that mask—one that was both familiar, yet strangely unfamiliar.Meanwhile, Chad and Zane exchanged a glance. They were stunned by Vincent's sudden return.They figured Vincent would suffer at least a little before he was found. In fact, they were fully prepared for the search parties to turn up empty-handed."Those fishermen are useless. They couldn't even handle one man!" Chad cursed under his breath.When Zane saw how close Marisol was standing to Vincent, his expression darkened instantly. How could she be so intimate with another man right in front of him?Biting back his rage, Zane maintained composure befitting the heir of the Fayton family

Behind her mask, Samara's gaze was calm and unreadable. She looked at Chad without a flicker of emotion."I don't think I've met you before," she said calmly, as if she were simply stating a fact.Hearing that, Chad couldn't believe his ears."How can that be?" he cried out. "We've met twice—once at Ms. Albright's party and back at the hotel lobby. This makes the third time!"He remembered every encounter clearly. Samara's outright denial left him completely bewildered and unsettled.Just then, Laura walked over and addressed him in a brisk, businesslike tone. "Mr. Chad, this lady is a friend of mine. Perhaps there's been some sort of misunderstanding?" It sounded like she was both asking for clarification and also trying to smooth things over.At her words, Chad tensed up.He had crossed Laura once and almost become the company's biggest liability. Not daring to push his luck again, he simply kept his head down and listened obediently.He turned her words over in his head. O

The atmosphere at the table grew tense immediately.Chad hadn't expected Vincent to be so rude. He had rejected the mysterious masked woman so bluntly.The woman exuded an extraordinary air and was clearly a force to be reckoned with. By treating her like that, Chad thought Vincent was just asking for trouble.On the other hand, that was exactly what Chad wanted. A big shot like her wouldn't keep chasing a man who had rejected her.She would lose interest in Vincent before long, and it would be the perfect opportunity for Chad to impress her!Chad was pleased at the idea and relaxed. When the woman sat back down, he inched over to her silently, until they were so close that he could smell the faint scent on her. Not only was she rich and influential, but even the perfume she wore seemed unique. It was understated but elegant, and it matched Chad's taste perfectly.With everyone at the table preoccupied with their own thoughts, silence fell. The only sound was the clatter of c

As soon as Chad heard footsteps, he assumed that the masked woman had returned. Leaping out of bed, he quickly hid behind the door. He planned to pounce on her as soon as she walked in. He thought that might please her even more.The door creaked open, and Chad enveloped the woman in a tight bear hug. However, as soon as he touched her, he felt a piercing pain in his wrist. He screamed, "Ow! That hurts! Let me go!"Having spent years living an unstable life, Marisol was instinctively vigilant and wary, making her highly sensitive to her surroundings.As soon as she'd entered, she'd noticed that someone was behind the door, and she had restrained the intruder without thinking twice.However, she was shocked when she saw who it was. She pressed the switch, and light flooded the room at once.When they saw each other clearly, Marisol let go in disgust.Chad was shocked and furious. He had been waiting for that woman. Why had Marisol come instead?"What are you doing here? Why a
