Chapter 42
CELINE’S POV
I felt Sebastian collapse on the dry leaves next to me. He appeared as
though he was just completed a marathon based on the rate at which he
was breathing. I rolled over onto my side and turned my back on him as he
gazed at me.
This shouldn’t happen…
It was a mistake…
I provoked him, and he did it…
And I let him…
I just let him…

I slowly raised myself to my feet and looked around for my underwear. When
finally found it, I let out a sigh of relief, and then I quickly picked it up and put

Heft him and started to make my way back to where the yacht was docked,
and I nervously chewed on my lower lip. What would Brylee say if she sees
me? I knew she would embarra** me in front of her friends, in front of Jake.
Suddenly, a loud thunderclap caused me to stop in my tracks. When I looked
up, I noticed that the sky was much darker than usual.
My heart started to race as I sped up my pace but suddenly I sensed
someone behind me. When I turned around, I saw Sebastian looking at me in
a very intent manner, I chose to ignore him and carried on walking. However,
just as I was getting close to the coast, the heavens opened up, and
raindrops the size of beans started falling on me. On us.
“Oh my, God!” I broke into a sprint and made my way toward the beach.
When i saw that the deep blue ocean had become incomparably violent, it

caused my eyes to bulge out of their sockets. The waves were crashing like
some kind of monstrous creature. It was an incredibly terrifying scene, what
with the thunder and lightning.

The fact that the yachts were no longer there, though… was the thing that
frightened me the most. They left mo. They left us…
“Celine!” I heard Sebastian call out. “Let’s go this way! Let’s find something
we could hide from the rain!”
I turned my heels and followed him as the rain erupted into a raging deluge
and the wind howled like a ravenous beast. The waves were terrifyingly
strong.
It was clear to me that Sebastian was not accustomed to being left behind
and stranded on a barren island like this one. He had never been placed in
such a precarious circumstance before.
I had lived on an island ever since I was a child, so I was prepared for
situations like this one. I got firsthand experience with everything, from
Chapter 42 Snake Bite
sowing seeds to gathering crops to angling for fish.
Even though it was pouring hard, I managed to keep my composure and
realized that I had to find a safe spot to hide. Otherwise, once it was
completely dark, the countless dangers would be lurking on the island.

My shoes were quickly covered in a thick layer of sand, and the odor that
permeated the air was difficult to describe, which made it difficult for me to
breathe. Sebastian turned around to check on me, and he had this frown on
his face, which indicated that he was clearly aggravated by the situation that
we are in right now.
I paid him no attention as I brushed away the thick branches with one hand
and peered around, searching for a location where I might escape the rain.
My vision grew increasingly distorted, though, as the rain became steadily
harder.
As soon as I wiped the rain from my eyes, I noticed a ma**ive boulder off in
the distance, I was about to take a step toward the stone ledge when
Sebastian came up and started taking long strides until he was in front of

- me. At that point, he extended his hand and gripped my nape, drawing me
into his arms.
“Uh… what are you doing?” I tried to pull away from him, but he was stronger
than me, and his embrace was squeezing the hell out of me. “Sebastian!
What the-”
“Don’t make a move!” he exclaimed, his voice was hoarse above my head.
“What are you doing? Let me go!” I looked up to see his eyes looking
something behind me. I frowned and followed his gaze and my eyes widened
when I saw a snake that was coiled around the branch that I had just pushed
away. My body began to shake when I noticed its tail slowly moved into a
tighter position, indicating that it was ready to attack.
“Stand still!” Sebastian groaned, gritting his teeth, and I immediately wrap
my arms around him, buried my face down in his chest and pressing my
eyes tight as I did so.
I felt his arms wrap around me as well, before he lifted his foot to kick the
Chapter 42 Snake Hite
branch away, and as I looked back, I saw the snake drop on the ground and
start to silther away.
I had to catch my breath for a second. I didn’t have a problem with either
heaven or hell, but I had a severe phobia of snakes.
When I was still a kid, I used to dig up sweet potatoes and other kinds of
crops in the ground with my mom, and one time… when I was helping her, I
got bitten by a snake.
At that moment, I’d been really afraid to the point that I felt like I didn’t have
an inch of life left in me. Ever since that time, I’ve had an intense phobia of
reptiles, particularly snakes.

Sebastian released his hold on me, but I didn’t move because I was too
terrified to do so. I was standing there… numb yet shaking, with my arms still
wrapped around Sebastian’s torso.
“Hey, are you okay?” He asked with a troubled tone in his voice.

I didn’t respond, and when he felt that I was shaking uncontrollably, I heard
him let out a sigh and hug me before he lifted me up from the ground and

carried me bridal style. There’s nothing more for me to do than bury my face
in his chest.
Sebastian, too, saw the enormous boulder, and when he got there, he
discovered a little cave. It wasn’t very big, and once you got inside, you’d find
some charred branches and a pile of dust. Clearly, somebody had been in
this place before.
Sebastian placed me in a strategic position atop a large stone and
proceeded to shove the branches in the middle of the cave. He used a lighter
to ignite them, and soon after, we could hear crackling sounds coming from
the cave and the heat from the fire began to warm us up.
I trembled so much that I could barely utter the words “thank you…” and it
took a lot of work for me to even speak normally.
Sebastian, however, paid little attention to what I had to say; instead, he
dipped his head and rubbed the back of his palm on his thigh while knitting
his eyebrows, His face was pale.
Theld my breath and frowned as I walked over to check his hand. “W–what’s
happening to you?”
He slowly relaxed his brows, but the hand that had been grasping the other
was now clenched so tightly that I could almost feel his blood flow stopped.

“Hey!” I got down on my knees and grabbed his hand, only to discover that it
had two distinct puncture wounds on it. Oh my, God! It’s a snake bite!
I looked up at him, terrified, I will never ever forget how a snake bite looked
