Lahat ng Kabanata ng Island of Desire with My Billionaire (English): Kabanata 51 - Kabanata 60

Alyssa's heart beat fast, but it felt like her whole body turned to stone. She couldn't move right away.She just stared at the laptop screen, which was now completely black and reflecting her own scared face. Elena's face was gone, but her voice seemed to remain in the cold room, echoing in her mind.Don't let him open the east wing.And the little boy behind her in the video.Damien. Young Damien with a blank expression.She didn't know what was scarier: the fact that a woman who had been dead for twenty-three years was in the video, or the fact that she was with the man standing right in front of her now.He was young back then. She was sure of it, because his eyes were so familiar to her."That's you."Her voice was soft and trembling.Damien didn't answer. He just stood beside the large wooden table. His eyes were glued to the black screen, looking like he was forcing himself to remember something from a time long buried in the past. His usually calm face showed a hint of confusi

Alyssa’s fingers trembled as she held tightly onto the scratched edge of the old photograph. Her entire body felt cold when she read what was written on the back.SHE DIDN'T DIE IN THE ACCIDENT.She read the sentence over and over again. She blinked her eyes, hoping that she had just misread it because of the dim light in the room.But no. The words didn't change. Every letter written in fading black ink was very clear."Damien..." she called out, almost in a whisper because of her nervousness.He didn't answer right away. Damien just stared at the photograph he was holding, his thick eyebrows furrowed. It was obvious his brain was still processing how that object ended up there in the middle of an abandoned room."Your aunt didn't die in the accident.""I know what it says," he answered seriously, still not taking his eyes off the photo."Then what does it mean?""I don't know."Alyssa let out a heavy sigh. She could feel the frustration slowly building up in her chest."There are to

Alyssa stayed in Damien's tight hug for a few minutes. Her head rested on his muscular chest, clearly hearing his calm and regular heartbeat.The surroundings were quiet. Only the rhythmic crashing of the waves on the shore and the cold sea breeze entering the open window could be heard. She could strongly smell Damien's familiar, expensive perfume mixing with the salty breeze of Isla Verde.Come to think of it, that moment was very simple. There was no grand setup.But for Alyssa, it felt like the most peaceful time since she stepped foot on this island.No black card. No mysterious messages messing with her mind. No old photographs. No terrifying questions about the past.Just her and Damien, in the middle of the silence."Damien?" she called out softly."Hmm?" his deep voice rumbled from his chest."Are you tired?""Not anymore." Alyssa felt him gently tighten his hug.She smiled slightly and shook her head. "Liar.""Why?""I've been seeing you frown for a while now. Even when you'

Alyssa opened her eyes the next day not because of the familiar sound of the alarm clock, and especially not because of any noise from outside the room. She woke up because of a cold and wet thing that repeatedly touched her cheek.She frowned, but when she fully opened her eyes, she immediately saw Atlas. The dog was standing on the side of the bed and happily wagging his tail."Atlas..." she whispered softly, smiling. "It's you."She got up and gently touched the soft fur on his head. "Good morning." As an answer, Atlas quickly licked her hand, making her laugh. "You're so sweet this early?""He learned from me," she heard a familiar and deep voice from the door.Alyssa looked back. Damien was standing there, looking very handsome even in a simple morning style, holding a food tray. She blinked, suddenly feeling shy, so she quickly fixed her hair using her fingers."Good morning," she greeted him. She looked at the young man's face. "Did you not sleep?""I did," he answered shortly w

Alyssa could not stop smiling while they were walking back to the mansion.The cold night wind matched the light feeling in her feet, as if she was floating with every step. Maybe because finally, everything was clear. She was no longer just a simple visitor in Isla Verde. Damien was no longer just the serious man who always followed her to make sure she was safe.Now, he is her boyfriend.She looked at their holding hands. She felt the warmth of his palm that gave her a unique comfort. She was smiling."You're smiling," Damien noticed.She looked up at him and met his eyes that were already staring at her. "It's your fault.""I'll take the blame.""Good."His hold on her hand tightened slightly, as if he did not want to let her go. "Are you happy?"She nodded. "Very.""Good.""You?" she asked back.He smiled, a rare smile that reached his eyes. "You already know.""Say it anyway.""I've never been happier."She smiled wider. "So cheesy.""But you like it.""Maybe.""That's enough."A
