Chapter 31

NEAH’S POVI was silently arranging my things. Is there really no other way for me not to be with Dave? I have been wishing for him to have an emergency in another project so someone else could go with me, but nothing is happening.Two hours from now we will leave, but I still haven’t heard any news of an emergency. I let out a deep sigh. It feels like this will be the longest day of my life.“Mommy, are you okay?” I looked at my child when he spoke. “You’ve been holding your things so tightly.” he added. I looked at the folder in my hand, it was already wrinkled because of how tightly I was holding it.“Be good to Auntie Claire, okay?” I reminded my child even though I tell him that every day.“Yes mommy, don’t worry.” he answered with a smile.I said goodbye to my child and left to go to Sy Elite because that is where I will meet Dave.When I arrived at the lobby, I met Cassandra. I just hope she is not suspicious of me and Dave because I don’t want trouble.“Good morning, Neah,” sh

Chapter 32

NEAH'S POVWhen we reached the bridge, a man wearing a raincoat suddenly blocked our path. Dave rolled down his window."Sir, you can't pass through anymore because the water is already too high. The road has also been damaged because of the sudden storm. It's better if you turn back," the man shouted over the deafening sound of the rain and thunder, making him difficult to hear."We can't go home?" I asked Dave anxiously."You heard what he said," Dave replied grumpily.I tightly closed my eyes. I needed to go home because my son would surely be waiting for me, but if I insisted on getting my way, something might happen to both Dave and me.Dave reversed the car and headed back toward the hotel. As time passed, the rain only became heavier. The sky had turned so dark that it looked like nighttime even though it was barely four o'clock in the afternoon.We continued down the road, Dave unable to drive any faster because the rain was so heavy that he could barely see the road ahead. I

Chapter 33

DAVE'S POVI kept sneezing after changing into dry clothes. It was too cold earlier when I got wet in the rain. I was forcing myself not to shiver so Neah wouldn't notice. After getting dressed, I stepped out of the bathroom. Neah had already changed as well. She was sitting on the single sofa, hugging her knees to her chest. She looked like a frightened child. She may have changed, but the things she was afraid of never did. She still seemed terrified of the dark, especially when there was loud thunder and sharp lightning."Stay here, I'm going to check the kitchen and see what I can cook," I told her, but she immediately stood up."I'm coming with you." Just like I thought, she was afraid of being left alone. I walked out of the room first while she followed closely behind me. When I suddenly stopped walking, she bumped into my back because she was standing too close."I'm sorry," she muttered. I turned around and took one of her hands. "What are you doing?" she asked irritably. Why

Chapter 34

NEAH'S POVI couldn't sleep properly because of the loud thunder and heavy rain outside. The blanket was already wrapped around my entire body. Every time I tried to fall asleep, the thunder would grow louder. With every rumble, the whole house seemed to shake.I sat up and leaned against the headboard, then hugged my knees. I looked at Dave, who seemed to be asleep already. Good for him, he was sleeping soundly. I thought he was going to talk to me earlier. He had so many chances to talk to me, but he didn't. He stayed quiet until we ended up here in the room.I studied him carefully because it looked like he was shivering. Was his blanket not enough?Slowly, I got off the bed to give him an extra blanket because he might be cold, when he suddenly groaned while trembling. Was he okay? Gently, I touched his forehead and immediately felt how hot he was.“You have a fever,” I murmured, but he was sleeping deeply. I looked at where he was lying. The sofa was far too small for him because

Chapter 35

NEAH’S POVWhen we stepped out of the room, we headed to the kitchen to make something to eat and check on the situation outside. It was still raining, but not as heavily as it had the night before. There was no thunder or lightning anymore.“Why is there still no signal?” I muttered while staring at my phone. I had no idea how my son was doing. I knew Claire would take good care of him, but I couldn't stop worrying. I was sure he was already looking for me.“Good morning, ma’am. Good morning, sir.”I looked up and saw one of the villa staff members who had just arrived.“I came here to let you know that no staff will be able to come today. I only stopped by to inform you. The storm last night caused too much damage. Your car, sir, is still stuck on the road because more than one tree fell. The vehicle is fine, though, just a few scratches in the front. We need the rain to stop before cleanup can begin. You still won’t be able to cross the bridge because the water got too high last ni

Chapter 36

DAVE’S POVI was still processing everything she had said. I remained standing by the kitchen doorway, and from there I could clearly see her in the living room. She was staring into space. Why didn’t our stories match?If she had been calling me back then, why didn’t I receive any of those calls? If she had been messaging me, why didn’t I see any of them? Which one of us was actually telling the truth?I knew for a fact that I kept checking my phone over and over, hoping she had finally sent me a message, but nothing ever came. I tried calling her too, but I couldn’t reach her.My jaw tightened and my fists clenched.If Mom knew what happened to Neah’s parents, why didn’t she tell me? Why did she lie to me?I walked toward Neah. She looked up at me, her brows still furrowed, irritation still evident on her face.“Tell me you’re not lying.” My voice was serious because if everything had been planned to destroy our relationship, everyone at fault will be held responsible.She let out a

Chapter 37

NEAH’S POVDave and I ate in silence. There was still no news on whether we could leave this place yet. There was still no signal. I couldn’t even call my son. I’m sure he’s already worried about me. I miss him too. I want to see him and hold him again. This is the first time I’ve ever been this far away from my son.When I felt Dave staring at me, I looked at him. He was watching me seriously. I could see the mix of emotions in his eyes. I didn’t know whether to believe what he had told me. I knew for a fact that I had sent him countless messages. I called him too, but he never answered even though his phone kept ringing.After I finished eating, I simply went to the living room. Staring into space. The surroundings were incredibly quiet. There wasn’t even anything for me to do. My phone showed a full bar, but it was completely useless.“Good afternoon, ma’am.” I turned toward the male staff from the private villa. “I brought freshly slaughtered pork and some fresh vegetables,” he sa

Chapter 38

NEAH’S POVI sat on the sofa even though my heart was already wildly pounding from nervousness.“Can’t you sleep?” he asked.“Yes, I just want to breathe some fresh air.” I made an excuse. He didn’t respond anymore. I glanced at him but I only swallowed hard when I saw that he was already looking at me. I quickly looked away.I shouldn’t have gone out. Why am I even interested in where he is?I immediately stood up and turned away. I don’t know why, but I could feel my cheeks heating up.“I thought you couldn’t sleep? Are you going back upstairs already?” he asked.“Ah, yes,” I answered without looking at him.“If you feel uncomfortable because I’m here, I can leave, you can stay here.”“No need, I’ll just go back to the room because I might get sleepy later.” I answered, then walked up the stairs. I didn’t hear him anymore. I could feel his gaze following me, so I hurried my steps up the stairs even more.When I entered the room, I wrapped myself again in the blanket.The next mornin

Chapter 39

NEAH’S POVThroughout the entire drive, Dave didn’t talk to me anymore. He just drove in silence until we arrived at the company.As soon as I got out of the car, I immediately saw Liam. He greeted me with a tight hug.“Thank goodness you’re safe. You scared me, Neah.” The fear was still evident in his voice. I smiled at him, then looked at Dave. His jaw was clenched, as if he didn’t like what he was seeing.“Thank you, Dave. I’ll just come back to work tomorrow. I want to go home first.”“Go on,” he replied coldly before heading inside the company. I turned to Liam and smiled at him.“Let’s go,” Liam guided me toward his car. I glanced at Dave one last time as he walked toward the elevator. Isn’t he going home first to change clothes? Work is really that important to him.“What happened? Why were you trapped there?”“We were about to leave when a resident stopped us and told us the water on the bridge had risen too high. We were already heading back to the hotel when a tree suddenly

Chapter 40

DAVE’S POVI had been waiting for my Mom to come home since yesterday, but she still hadn’t returned. I had wanted to talk to her since yesterday. I didn’t want to talk to her over the phone. I wanted to speak with her personally.When the door opened, I looked toward it. Cassandra walked in.“My God! Thank goodness you're safe. If you hadn't insisted on going there, you wouldn't have gotten trapped.” Cassandra said worriedly. My expression remained blank. She wasn't the person I wanted to talk to, it was my mother.“What did you want me to do? Leave Neah behind and let her go there alone for the inspection?”“I would have assigned someone to accompany her. If someone else had gone with her, you wouldn't have been the one trapped there.”“So you're only worried because I was one of the people trapped, but if it had only been employees, that would've been fine with you?” She cleared her throat.“You're the only one I'm worried about, Dave. I know you, you don't like staying in one plac
