"Take me to the island and pick me up in three days."

Island? What island?

​​

"I want to go home. Let me go home!" When she heard that Aiden was about to go to another place, Anya felt even more panicked. She really wanted to go home!

Aiden massaged his sore forehead and said in a cold voice, "If you keep making noise, I'll throw you out of here."

Anya was shocked to hear that. She looked at Aiden fearfully, but was still reluctant to come with him. "Can I ask for a parachute? Or looking for a place to land so I can go home by myself…" she asked in a low voice.

"There is no parachute. If you want to get off, just jump from here," Aiden said on purpose. Of course he wouldn't let Anya go home alone.

Anya looked up and looked out the window. She saw that the helicopter had flown so high. It would be crazy if she dared to jump from here.

"I can accompany you to go to the island, but I can't leave my job. You will have to pay me three times as much," Anya was very poor now. If she didn't come to work in three days, her salary would be reduced.

"Let's just say you are on duty. I'll pay you three times over," Aiden agreed.

Seeing the man agreeing to it, Anya could only surrender.

An hour later, their helicopter stopped at a secluded island and someone immediately picked them up by bus.

"Mr. Aiden, you haven't been here in a while. Your room has been prepared," the person who greeted Aiden saw that Anya was still trapped in the net. Her hands and feet were so twisted that Anya could not go out on her own, while Aiden didn't want to help her.

"Get her down!" Aiden said impatiently.

Someone immediately helped Anya to get down and helped her to get out of the net. Anya stretched out her stiff arms and legs and then looked around. The view of the island was very beautiful.

Coconut trees were lined up on the beach. A warm wind blew along with the scent of the ocean. Anya could feel the summer atmosphere.

"What are you doing? Get in quickly," Aiden shouted from the bus.

Anya didn't dare delay anymore. She immediately got into the bus and they left for a villa.

On arrival, a servant greeted them and said, "Sir, you have arrived."

"Take her to the bathroom and call the doctor over here. She ate Padang rice last night and her stomach hurt," Aiden said as he went inside.

"I... My stomach doesn't hurt," Anya had forgotten her stomachache because she was so scared earlier.

Aiden stopped walking, causing Anya to crash into his back as she followed his steps from behind.

"Ah!" Anya shouted irritably. "My nose!"

"Why do you always hit my back?" Aiden said calmly.

"You suddenly stopped and made me..." Seeing Aiden's gloomy face, Anya did not dare to continue. Then, she said in a weak voice. "I didn't mean to do it. Are you alright?"

"My back hurts. Give me a massage," Aiden said expressionlessly.

"Huh?" Anya really wanted to slap herself. Why should she ask if Aiden was okay. She should've ignored him!

After all, none of this was her fault!

Aiden always stopped abruptly and made her bump into him. Her nose hurt too. Should she ask Aiden to squeeze her nose?

But what could she do? This was Aiden's island and the only way to get out of here was by the man's helicopter. If Anya made Aiden angry, Aiden would leave her alone here and she would never be able to come home.

"Aiden, I'm sorry if I made you angry. I lied to you this morning. I never dated anyone in France. Apart from Jonathan, I don't know anyone. I'm just friends with him," Anya said in a low voice.

"I know," Aiden replied casually as he went upstairs. Anya was silent for a moment in her place to hear the man's answer.

So he knew it already? Then why was he angry with her and punished her like that?

Anger began to well up in Anya's heart as she followed Aiden's steps upstairs.

"You already know but you are still angry with me? Did you deliberately go the wrong way and get us lost?" Anya asked irritably.

"I suddenly didn't want to go home," Aiden replied carelessly.

Anya didn't know what to say. He didn't want to come back? Just because he didn't want to return, he purposely took the wrong road and led them away from the city?

Then why did he have to bring her here?

Why should it involve her? Aiden could have gone alone without her...

"Why don't you want to come back?" Anya asked.

Aiden stopped walking. This time, Anya had learned from her mistakes. She nimbly stopped walking as soon as Aiden stopped, so she wouldn't crash against his back for the umpteenth time.

But who would have thought that Aiden would immediately turn around and approach her while looking at her face closely? Anya took two steps back and her back hit the wall.

Aiden put one hand beside Anya's head while the other hand beside her waist. "Stay with me here three days and after that, I will give you freedom."

Anya swallowed frantically and asked, "Can I refuse?" she asked in a low voice.

Staying three days with Aiden? She knew very well what he meant when he asked for three days with her.

But if that happened, they probably wouldn't be separated again after three days…

That's why it's better for them not to start this relationship. Anya was afraid to get back together with Aiden.

Yesterday night was a big mistake and Anya didn't want to make the same mistake for three days in a row…

"It didn't make any difference to sleep one night or one hundred nights. What matters is that you were very satisfied last night," Aiden's voice sounded hoarse and wet in Anya's ear.

Hearing that sentence, Anya's ears immediately burned and turned red. Even though she was drunk and unconscious last night, her body couldn't lie.

"Are you sure you can forget last night?" Aiden kissed Anya's cheek gently.

"Will you stop bothering me after three days?" Anya asked with uncertainty.

Aiden nodded.

Anya immediately took out her cellphone and opened a recording app, "After three days, the contract between us will end. I will work at Iris until the competition ends. After leaving Iris, you will not prohibit me from working in the perfume industry. You won't have lunch with me every day. And we will never meet again."

Aiden just looked at Anya deeply. Anya couldn't wait to get away from him, she put up a high and thick wall between them.

But even if Anya built that wall a thousand times, Aiden would also destroy it a thousand times.

He would still come back into Anya's heart somehow.

"Yes," Aiden agreed.

"Do you really agree?" Anya looked at Aiden seriously, worried that the man would lie to her.

"Yes," Aiden replied, looking at Anya's face. Then, he saw the disappointment on that tiny face.

He had promised and agreed to all of Anya's requests, but Anya looked disappointed. Why?

Why did Anya look disappointed?

After she finished recording, Anya replayed it again. After reassuring herself once again that there was no flaw in the tape, Anya pocketed her cell phone again.

"Fine, I will accompany you for the next 72 hours. What should we do?" Anya asked.
