L kept on telling me to forget about it and suggesting that we stay in Greenland and accept a new life there. That was normal, I did not expect perfection from anyone, and I expected that some would try to discourage me along the way but all that is normal. I got someone to get me the map of entire Greenland. If there was one thing I could say from the map is that the North is blessed with excess Islands. And yes, pirates like going after islands, trying to plunge them for their benefit, that is what I am going to do. I would stick to an island and wait for pirates to come and when they come, KaBOOM! I would overtake their vessel and get them to ride me to Iceland!

"If he dies, I will burn everything you have built. I will turn your tower to dust. I will hunt down every client you have ever saved and butcher them. I will kill your family, then after I'm done, I'll specifically burn you alive." He paused, his eyes locking onto mine. "But if you save him...I will give you the world. Money. Power. An army. Whatever The Viper desires." I held his gaze. I wasn't afraid of his threats. I was empty inside. "I don't want the world, Mr. Rinaldi," I whispered. "I just want to be left alone." *** We landed on an island that didn't exist on any map. The Isola della Morte. It looked like a gothic nightmare rising from the Atlantic.

​The private island of Ilha de Prata was a jagged tooth of white sand and volcanic rock rising out of the turquoise expanse of the Indian Ocean. It was a place that didn't exist on any commercial map, a sovereign sanctuary Sierra had purchased under a shell company when she first realized that the world would never stop hunting her children. Here, the air was free of the metallic hum of the Spire and the suffocating scent of the Northern Alliance. It smelled only of salt, sun-drenched hibiscus, and the deep, terrifyingly quiet pulse of the sea.

"Ms. Lewis, can you give me a chance?" Max looked at her pleadingly, showing no signs of a gangster boss. His eyes were filled with an obsession for chess. However, Grace rejected him. "I can't do that this time. I have a project to inspect on an island. After the inspection, I'll play a game with you." Max suddenly wilted, letting out a dispirited sigh. Noticing his disappointment, Grace added, "The island is called Azure Bay. The whole trip will be over in two or three days. It's not long. You can take this opportunity to hone your skills."

“Let me go straight to the point. There is a hidden island somewhere. No one has really lived in that place because it was highly protected. The last time I visited, it was the most beautiful land ever. So my point here is that, there are a few big names fighting over it and they will do just anything to get their hands on it. Nora got really curious. Whenever the big shots were interested, there must be something of value and she wondered what it could be in that particular island. “I think what you should be telling me is if that island has something illegal or why would it attract such attention?” Nora asked. “That island has a potential to produce oil and so that is why they are fighting

Corie says, rolling her eyes at me. “Roll those eyes at me again granddaughter and I’ll make sure you go back to the future without helping us.” I warn. She immediately clammed up, sealing her lips as if she were locking them with a key and then throwing said key over her shoulder. Women are strange. “The island we are going to is known as the Thrice Cursed Island so you need to be aware of your surroundings. We have never made landfall there, so we don’t know what we will find there. Since we found out that the Moon Goddess and witches are in fact real, we need to be prepared for anything.” William explains.

Dark storm clouds were before us, just like my dream, that circled around the island at the center. The island that held Silisk. “That’s the most evil-looking island that I have ever seen,” Trei commented, making me turn to him. “So islands have faces now?” “Oh, come on. You know exactly what I mean. Can’t you see the numerous jagged rocks on the island? If that doesn’t look evil to you, then I don’t know what does.” He said while pointing to the island. He was right. There was something about the island that makes you want to cower and want to turn back. Though, I just can’t point out why.

“How long have you been here?” “A day and a half. I was kidnapped from my apartment and woke up here. Do you know where we are?” “Yeah. Some private island in East Timor called ‘Land Grizzly’.” His eyes narrow, fixing his gaze at one of the boats. “I knew it. I knew I was in East Timor, but I didn't know there was an island named 'Land Grizzly',” “It's a newly discovered uninhabited island. The owner—you've seen the masked man?”

His touch was soft, as if he were afraid I might disappear if he touched me. “You look beautiful tonight,” he said. “Thank you for coming over for dinner.” I smiled as I stepped closer to him. “The food was wonderful. But I’m still pretty excited to try out your world famous Ramen noodles one of these days.” Gabe chuckled and then leaned in, surprising me with a kiss. The passion in the air ignited instantly as we embraced in front of the sunset. The island air blew through my hair, carrying with it the scent of saltwater and warm sand. It was a picture perfect moment; one that I never saw myself actually experiencing. This island kiss was the most romantic kiss of my life.
