Project Gutenberg Treasure Island

In the first year I was brought home, the phony heiress Viola Baker suggested a trip to Gold Island to build a sisterly connection with me. My fiancé, Jeremy Abbott, had joined us to ensure our safety. However, they ended up amassing significant gambling debts at the island's casinos. In a bid to flee, he abandoned me on the island as a hostage, vanishing without a trace alongside Viola. The casino staff restrained me, poised to unleash their wrath upon me. In my frantic struggle, I glimpsed a phone number labeled "Island Owner" on the leader's phone screen. "Could that be the number of my brother, who had cared for me for more than a decade?"

Si Kaelen Vireaux ay isang makapangyarihang bilyonaryo na kinatatakutan at hinahangaan sa mundo ng negosyo. Ngunit sa likod ng kanyang tagumpay ay ang mga taong lihim na naghihintay ng kanyang pagbagsak. Isang gabi, matapos siyang ipagkanulo ng sarili niyang mga kasosyo at tangkaing patayin, nawalan siya ng malay sa gitna ng dagat. Nagising siya sa isang liblib na isla—walang alaala kung sino siya, kung saan siya nanggaling, o kung bakit siya naroon. Ang tanging taong tumulong sa kanya ay si Aelira Bloom, isang tahimik na island girl na namumuhay nang simple sa gitna ng isang maliit na hardin ng mga gulay at halaman. Kilala siya sa sitio bilang kakaiba, dahil tila may malalim siyang koneksyon sa kalikasan. Sa kanyang mga kamay, ang mga halaman ay mabilis tumubo, at ang mga baging ay tila gumagalaw na parang sumusunod sa kanyang kagustuhan. Habang tinutulungan ni Aelira si Kaelen na makabangon at matutong mamuhay muli, unti-unting nabubuo ang isang malalim na ugnayan sa pagitan nila. Sa gitna ng katahimikan ng isla at ng simpleng buhay na natagpuan niya roon, dahan-dahang nahuhulog ang puso ni Kaelen sa babaeng nagligtas sa kanya. Ngunit ang nakaraan ay hindi madaling takasan. Kapag bumalik ang kanyang mga alaala, babalik din ang mga taong nagtangkang pumatay sa kanya mga taong handang sirain ang lahat para sa kapangyarihan at kayamanan. At kapag nalaman nila kung nasaan siya, hindi lamang si Kaelen ang magiging target… kundi pati na rin ang babaeng nagbigay sa kanya ng bagong buhay. Sa isang mundong puno ng pagtataksil at kasakiman, kaya ba nilang ipaglaban ang pag-ibig na umusbong sa isang tahimik na isla? O tuluyan itong mawawala, tulad ng mga lihim na tinatago ng dagat?

After Celine Anderson let her newly-promoted assistant take credit for my billion-dollar project for the ninth time, I handed in my resignation letter. I also refused to show up in the same place as her. Whenever she was interviewed by talk shows as a public figure, I would switch off all the screens in the building. I also got the security guard to stop her from entering even if she brought me a cup of coffee in the middle of a tornado. To see me, she purposely rescheduled three virtual meetings with foreign companies. So, I immediately bought air tickets to leave the country. I blocked her everywhere and formatted the hard disk that contained all of our memories from the past decade. When I was twenty, I studied with her in the university library. When I was twenty-five, I ate the cheapest bread with her when she first started her company. When I was thirty, I finally knew how to let go of things that no longer serve me. On the ninth time I was accused of sleeping my way up, I came across a photo of her and her assistant kissing. Meanwhile, I was sitting at our dining table with food that had turned cold. It turned out that our decade-long relationship had been a joke. However, it was fine. It was not too late to come to my senses.

Two months remained until debut evaluation night. Before our unit performance, our main dancer suddenly offered me her center position. I stared at her, confused, "The trainers always praise your stage presence. Why give up your spot?" "You... you deserve center more than I do." Her smile was painfully forced, and she was fidgeting with her practice clothes - obviously not saying what she really felt. Puzzled by her strange behavior, I asked, "Are my moves too big? Am I making it hard for you to perform?" She suddenly started shaking, looking at me with pure fear in her eyes. After what felt like forever, she finally choked out, "Please, just stop. I won't try to compete with you for center anymore!"

« Quelques instants suspendus dans le temps, quelques instants durant lesquels elle veut croire que tout est encore possible, mais elle voit l’avion s’éloigner sans qu’il l’ait rejointe. Un cri strident déchire le silence, son propre cri sans doute, puis le noir. Le noir absolu. Combien de temps est-elle restée allongée là, en plein soleil, abandonnée de tous ? »

After a plane crash, I found myself on a deserted island. I had no knowledge of wilderness survival, nor did I have a Swiss Army knife.

Jim Charleston is my foster brother. He and I have been dating in secret for 10 years. On the day we decide to go public, Jim receives an undercover mission assignment to Duskhaven, where he has slim chances of returning alive. The night before he left, he held me and promised, "If I come back alive, I will marry you in a grand wedding. I'll stay by your side forever." Foolishly, I broke ties with my family and waited for him. I became the laughingstock of the entire high society circle. Three years later, Jim returns but with a ruined reputation and enormous debts. Kneeling like a broken man before our father, he firmly declares, "I promised Anne I would take care of her for life, Dad!" The woman named Anne hid timidly behind Jim, clutching her pregnant belly tightly. Dad turns to me instinctively. Everyone is waiting for me to lose my mind and cause a scene. However, I just smile. Right then and there, I accept the engagement ring from the good-for-nothing playboy. On the day of my engagement party, Jim drives in recklessly. With a gun in his hand, he shouts, "Cecilia Forrest! If you dare go through with this marriage, I'll kill him!"
