All Chapters of Passion on the Secret Island: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

The days passed slowly, and Jacob continued to keep his distance. His constant avoidance was beginning to weigh on Luna's mind, and her anxiety grew with each passing day. What if Jacob really did kick her off the island? The problem was, Luna had no idea what she had done to make him so angry.Luna stepped outside and found Jacob feeding the rabbits that afternoon. The man seemed much quieter than usual, when he would often snap at her. It was clear to Luna that something was wrong.“Are you having trouble with the young master?” Maci's voice interrupted her thoughts. The woman appeared from the backyard, carrying a basket full of fresh fruit.Luna shook her head slowly, looking confused. “I don't know. But it seems like he's really angry with me.”“Then you should apologize. Otherwise, you might have to leave the island,” Maci remarked casually before walking away, leaving Luna stunned.Those words struck Luna like a storm. Leave the island? No, she couldn't. The outside world was t

Jacob hadn't been able to sleep since the previous night. He was still uncertain about his own feelings. Three years ago, his beloved had died on the very day of their wedding, leaving Jacob questioning whether he could ever fall in love with another woman again.That morning, with a cup of warm tea in hand, he relaxed on the balcony of his bedroom overlooking the swimming pool. Not far from the pool, Luna was running around, just as she had when Jacob first saw her.But this time was different. Luna had grown more mature over the past three years. She was taller now and looked... tempting.Jacob raised his teacup and took a small sip without taking his eyes off Luna.I hope I can keep myself under control, he thought.Eventually, Luna, who was in the garden, turned to look at him. Her smile was bright, and she even waved at him enthusiastically.Instead of waving back, Jacob turned his face away and pretended to enjoy the view in another direction.A little while later, a knock at th

“Sir, stop!” Luna cried out in desperation.Jacob stopped, but his sharp gaze remained fixed on her, like a raging storm that refused to subside.Luna turned her face away, unable to look at him any longer. Her cheeks flushed, not only from embarrassment but also from the wild, uncontrollable pounding of her heart.She swallowed unconsciously and took a step backward. But it wasn't enough to escape Jacob's overwhelming presence. Trembling, Luna turned and began to run. Her feet carried her away as quickly as they could, but her emotions remained behind, haunted by Jacob's burning gaze that refused to fade from her memory.Jacob didn't chase after her. He simply stood where he was, watching Luna's retreating figure grow smaller in the distance. A faint smirk lifted the corners of his lips as his fingers brushed against his own mouth, recalling the softness he had just experienced.“Good heavens,” Jacob murmured with a crooked smile. “Her lips... they're so sweet.”He sighed, his gaze g

Hazel walked slowly toward Luna, who was sitting on the grass with several newborn rabbits. The girl seemed completely absorbed in gently stroking the soft fur of one of the little creatures, unaware that Hazel was standing behind her.“It looks like you really love them,” Hazel remarked suddenly, startling Luna. The girl immediately scrambled to her feet.“I’m sorry. I didn’t realize anyone was here,” Luna stammered, her cheeks turning slightly pink when she realized who was standing in front of her.“I’m Hazel,” Hazel interjected, extending her hand with a friendly smile. “And Jacob is my brother.”Luna glanced at Hazel’s hand for a moment before shaking it awkwardly.“My name is Luna. It’s nice to meet you, Miss Hazel.”Hazel chuckled softly. “Just call me Hazel. We’re only a few years apart, so there’s no need to be so formal. Anyway...” She tilted her head, regarding Luna with curiosity. “How long have you known Jacob?”Luna lowered her gaze as she reached for the fruit basket bes

The night felt oppressive this time, and Luna's feelings were in turmoil. In front of her, Jacob closed the distance between them. But just as the distance became very close, Luna jerked awake in her sleep. Her eyes flew open, and she could not hide the thunderous pounding in her chest."Dream?" she murmured, rubbing her face in frustration. She turned her head toward the window, making sure the world outside was still wrapped in darkness. "Good God, why did I dream about him? It felt so real. Could he have actually come into my room?"With a long exhale, Luna tried to calm her mind. But the unease would not fade, making her get up from the bed. She decided to get a glass of water in the kitchen, hoping it would ease the tension in her chest.Luna opened her bedroom door, checking that it was still locked from the inside. "So it was just a dream," she thought, a little relieved. As she stepped out, her steps stopped when her eyes caught Jacob's figure at the end of the hallway, just c
