With only minimal light, Elsa could still see the depth of Dustin's gaze fixed on her. The man's arm also felt strong around her waist, and strangely, Elsa liked the touch of Dustin's hand this time.Her own hand rose to touch Dustin's face. For the first time, Elsa did it without any fear. Today had felt so long to her, yet it was far better than the days before Elsa fell ill and was taken to the city."Why are you suddenly being kind to me?" Elsa asked softly.Dustin did not answer right away. His Adam's apple moved as if he were swallowing something. "There's no point in treating you harshly. You still wouldn't dare fight me.""What if you're wrong? I do dare to fight you," Elsa shot back boldly.The two locked eyes again, the darkness of night their companion. Dustin pulled Elsa's waist closer, his hand stroking the back of the woman before him through the thin T-shirt she wore."A woman like you wouldn't dare do anything to me. Physically, the difference between us is too great."

Elsa was still curious about the woman who had met her that time. Who was she, and why did that woman seem to know what Dustin's life would be like if Dustin returned to the city with his offspring."No one here can answer my question, but I'm very sure Marley knows something," Elsa muttered.Unfortunately, the only person who knew the answer did not want to speak. Elsa let out a deep breath as she lay down. The sky had gone dark, and she had thought too much all day.Her eyes closed, and Elsa easily fell asleep. But only an hour after she had fallen asleep, the woman woke again because of a sudden thirst. And unfortunately, the drinking supply had run out.Snorting, Elsa carried her water bottle to the kitchen. She did not need candlelight because the moon tonight shone fairly brightly. Without lingering long in the kitchen, Elsa went straight back to her room. The dark atmosphere of the house made her afraid to stay outside her room too long."I thought you had gone somewhere, not i

There was no chicken, beef, or anything else. The meat supply had run out because the people who came from the city never brought much meat stock since it would not last long on the island.After racking her brain over how to work around Dustin's request, Elsa decided to catch one of the rabbits in the enclosure. While staying there, Elsa had noticed that they kept many rabbits."Are you sure this long-eared animal can be eaten?" Dustin asked, his gaze showing doubt that a rabbit could be eaten.Elsa turned. "Just watch and try it later," she answered with a smile.There was no chicken or beef, so in the end Elsa chose one rabbit to cook. Occasionally she glanced at Dustin's face. It seemed this man had never eaten rabbit meat before."There are quite a few rabbits on this island," Elsa murmured.After coating the cleaned rabbit with spices, Elsa carried it outside because they were going to roast it. Dustin followed, curious about what rabbit meat tasted like."Why do you keep so man

As morning greeted them, Elsa woke earlier. For the first time, she saw Dustin's room when light entered the space. It turned out the room had many decorations made of shells."What a beautiful room," Elsa murmured. She got up, removing Dustin's hand that was wrapped around her waist.Before leaving, Elsa looked at Dustin's sleeping face. Once again, Elsa admitted Dustin's handsome face, only she did not like the perverted side of this man who did not hesitate to force his partner.Slowly, Elsa got up. She looked at the view of Dustin's room. No wonder Dustin never let her enter the room during the day. It turned out he had collected so many shells as a collection."I thought he had a strange hobby. Apparently that strange hobby was collecting these beautiful shells. Dustin must not want his collection seen by others," she thought.Elsa's gaze was filled with admiration for Dustin's shell collection. Elsa did not dare touch it because the shells could break if she accidentally dropped

After that night, Elsa came to hate Marley and the other servants. She could no longer trust them. They were the ones who made life on the island difficult for her.After waiting long enough, the day they had been waiting for arrived. Elsa and Dustin had prepared their plan as best they could. Elsa's heart pounded hard. Today would determine whether they would be free or not."Are you sure you can fly a helicopter?" Elsa asked, making sure.Dustin opened the window curtain and looked toward the helipad. "I doubt it, but I will do it as best I can," he answered.Not long after, the sound of a helicopter was heard from a distance. Dustin closed the curtain, then turned and approached Elsa, who was still in the room."They are coming," Dustin said.Elsa nodded. Using the steam from a bowl of hot water, Elsa made her face look sweaty as if she had a fever. She then pretended to be unconscious when Dustin carried her down."Take this woman with you. Give orders to whoever sent you here tha
