Love In Forbidden Island

Episode 1:Cruise party

I woke up in some weird Nipa house, almost all the things in this house is covered in-cab web and dust, and the small bed made the rest of my feet hang in the air.

I stood up but a chain in my left foot pull me back to the bed.

what the hell?

where in the world am I?

My head feels like it had been beaten with a hammer.

I rest my back against the wall and close my eyes trying to remember what happened.

*21 hours earlier*

"you are going to marry the CEO's daughter of Emerald furniture company" my evil stepmom said with full authority in her voice.

I didn't say a word and continued to eat just to satisfy my hunger.

"I and Emerald will ready the preparation together with your father" she continues in a cold voice.

"and tomorrow night will be your engagement party"

"William, are you listening?" instead of answering her I ask our maid to pass me the glass of water.

"Aunt Luz, can you pass me the glass?"Aunt Luz nodded.

My ***** stepmom drops her utensils in frustration.

" William!"I stayed unbothered and didn't mind her at all even though I notice my father's gritting his teeth.

"Huh?! what a great son you have Lucas" she said in disbelief at my attitude.

"William Lawrence do not take your dead mother's attitude with you" A smirk plastered on my lips when my late mother has been mentioned in this pointless scolding.

"Yeah exactly! William your father was right you need to stop reflecting your attitude to that dead *****" My blood boils and my anger raise automatically with her words.

I stoop up and rush to her, tracing her plate with the knife that made an ear-breaking sound.

"No, He is wrong because he needs to stop tolerating that disgusting attitude of yours"

"William!" Father's voice thundered the whole dining area.

I left Amanda a disgusting look before turning to my father, as soon as I face him, his fist landed on my right cheek.

"This woman made you drink a love potion huh?" I said sarcastically and smirk.

"You've lost your taste father, this woman..." I pointed to her like she is some trash that needs to be thrown.

"This woman didn't even reach half of my mother's beauty and attitude, she didn't even pass ¹/⁴ of her class yet you replace her with this woman?, Disgusting Dad" I got another punch from him, and another, and other another, and again and again.

"****!!! Why won't you beat me up to death?!"

"Yeah sure, you think I can't?"

"Did I say you can't? A monster like you?"

He grabs my neck hard, his hand is trembling while choking me.

Right go ahead and kill me in that case I can be with my mother and not with you.

"You killed mother, and what makes– you think th–that I didn't –im–imagine this day would come?" I manage to say those words between my thin breath.

at this time I don't care if he chokes me to death, I don't care if I die right here and now

I just hope that if he kills me someone will put him in jail for the rest of his life.

I hope that he will be a prisoner until he dies and his soul will suffer in hell.

A never-ending suffering.

Aunt Luz push Dad away from me.

"What is wrong with you sir?!" she shouted at him.

"stay out of this Luz, this is none of your business" Dad tried to hit me again but Aunt Luz punch him before he can take a step toward me.

"William is like my son sir and I will never let someone like you hurt my son ever!" Aunt Luz's emotion is so strong that she even had the guts to yell at him.

She grabs my wrist and we headed upstairs.

Aunt Luz treats the wound caused by my Dad's punches earlier.

"you should never let your Dad hurt you like this again, He almost kill you, such a monster"

"it's better Aunt"

"it's better? what the heck are you talking about?"

"I want to be with mom" Aunt Luz sighed and hug me.

"Your mother wants you to be happy in life, she wants you to leave your father's side because she knew he is a monster"

"I have nowhere to go Aunt"

"Yeah exactly, that is why your mother ask me to take care of you before she died in Lucas's hands, she knew anytime soon Lucas will be able to kill her but she didn't leave William"

"She should have left"

"A mother should never-ever leave her child's side no matter what the situation is"

Aunt Luz said I can come with her, she said I can be his son, she said we can be a family.

"pack your things, we're going to leave this house" I nodded and start packing everything.

my clothes, shoes, my gadgets, the photo album consisting of my childhood photos, and my Mom's picture.

I pack everything desperate to leave this damn house.

Aunt Luz said we can leave at midnight when everyone is sleeping including my ***** stepmom and my Dad.

while waiting for midnight to come, I receive a text from Ethan.

Ethan: Yo bro, up for some cruise party tonight?

Me: Damn what's that party for?

Ethan: My girlfriend's birthday celebration

you should come you never knew my girl has a lot of hottie friends😉

Me: jerk

Ethan: bro I'm loyal, just sharing and inviting you to get my dearest friend a girl😘

Me: I didn't ask for a girl Ethan

Ethan: C'mon man I'm playing cupid here

I think everything that will happen if I leave at midnight...

if I leave, I will never come back.

if I leave, a new place, a new circle of friends.

I will never meet Ethan again so let's make this party a farewell one for me.

a birthday party for them, a farewell party for me.

I went to Aunt Luz's room and ask her permission.

"just be back before midnight"

"I will Aunt"

The whole ship is loud and messy

I barely see the shadow of Ethan in this huge crowd.

He is right, hot girls are everywhere, hot and wild.

I saw his girlfriend having fun with the girls at the corner so I ask her where is Ethan.

"Hey, kate where's Ethan?"I almost shout due to the loud music

" William!" Kate is a bit drunk.

"Yeah happy birthday where's Ethan?"

"Huh?!" we couldn't hear each other because the rock music thunder the whole boat.

"where is Ethan?"

"I'm sorry what?!"

"Ethan?!"

"oh, my boyfriend?"

"yeah, where is he?"

"at the deck smoking"

"ok thanks happy birthday"

I saw the dude a bit drank and quietly smoking with some men.

"Yo William you came!"

"Damn too many hotties"

"I told you" He handed me a shot of Valkan vodka.

He handed me again and again

I already had 5 shots and I think this is enough I can't be drunk tonight.

"C'mon bro drink!!!!"

"Woahhhh!!!!"

"Drink!!!!!"

Damn these men!

We got men's talk while sipping on our glass and smoking.

Valkan Vodka contains 88% of alcohol so everyone is drunk including me I can tell man I am drunk.

Kate takes Ethan away from us.

and we the boys are having fun with the girls

we got inside and dance the hell out with the hotties here.

Drink here, Drink there

Dance here, Dance there

kissing here, kissing there

I don't know how many lips I've kissed but they are all soft and a good kisser

"WOAH!!!!!"

"YEEEEEYYYYY!!!!"

"HAPPIEST BIRTHDAY MY LOVE!!!!" Ethan holds a microphone and greeted his girl

"WOAH!!!!!!!!!! KISS!!!!!"

Ethan put the microphone down and pull Kate towards him and gave her a long deep kiss that made the crowd shout their loudest cheer for the couple.

"WOOOOOHHHHH!!!"

I Smiled while watching this whole messy ship, messy yet happy. I watch how Ethan smile while watching his girl. I witness how genuine our smiles are in this party. I think this will definitely be the last hangout with Ethan.

I went outside to have some fresh air.

I rested my back on the deck of the ship and lit my cigarette.

I feel tipsy and I laugh and sing for no reason

I didn't think straight and sit on the deck while smoking.

"Woah!" I shouted as the cold air hit my neck.

My head hurt and my eyes just want to shut.

I feel sleepy and tipsy.

My cigarette fell off the water so I try to reach for another from my pocket but a small movement from the ship made my body fall off into the cold and dark sea.

I try to swim upward but my body is tired and didn't have enough strength to pull myself up.

I close my eyes and try to sleep in this dark and cold water

*PRESENT TIME*

"Why did you bring me here brother?" I heard footsteps and a woman's voice.

"ssshhh"

"God brother if we get caught coming back in this tiny old house of ours we are dead"

"We won't get caught if you keep quiet"

The door opened and the woman's chin drop off when she saw me.

"Who are you people?" I coldly ask.

The woman pointed at me and gave her brother a confused look.

"Who is this man brother?"

"I don't know"

"What do you mean you don't know?"

"I just saw him falling from the huge and loud ship last night when I was fishing"

"why did you bring him here?"

"I don't know what to do Victoria"

"Are you kidding me?" The woman unbelievably said.

"What do you want me to do huh? leave him alone in that huge and wide sea while dying?"

Am I really dying last night?

"You should if you need to" This woman is kinda cold huh, I am here listening to them, does she think that I'm deaf or something?

Her Aura and posture are cold yet she had the beauty of some innocent girl.

the way she looks at you? it's cold but her innocent beauty made you want to do a never-ending eye contact with her.

A white elegant dress, her hair is in princess braid with some accessories on it that's like a crown while, her brother on the other side, had some sort of white cape with matching elegant below the knee black shiny short and a white shirt with some sort of design in the middle that I can't understand and accessories also in his hair that looks like a crown and their shoes?

just like what kind of roleplaying is this? I can't help but let out a sarcastic laugh.

They look at me like I'm sort of a big problem for them.

"Why are you laughing?" The man asks me cluelessly.

"C'mon guys what story are you playing right now?"

"playing?"

"You put too much effort in this play"

"You think that we are playing?"

"A super-duper yes!"

Victoria went to me and hold my chin making my eyes stay with her. I was caught off guard by her action but I tried to stay firm and look her straight in the eyes which she does the same to me.

"Yes pretty? How can I help you?" I playfully ask her.

"How can we get rid of you?" she seriously asks back.

"Should I kill you?" The seriousness in Victoria's tone made me stop smiling.

"Victoria" The man called.

"How should we get rid of him?"

"We just wait for the perfect timing and sent him away with the boat"

"What if someone found out about this before we can send him away?"

"No one will find out Victoria"

"You are getting me killed for this Achilles!" she furiously slam the dusty table in the center.

Such a line

My headache and hunger are killing me.

"Can't you give me something to eat first?"

"Shut up!" they both shouted at me.

"Okay okay..I just want something to eat, you don't need to shout my goodness" I surrender my hands in the air.

"And now where should we get something to feed this little animal?" This woman!.

"Excuse me Miss Victoria–"

"Shut your mouth!"

"Dang Girl what the **** is wrong with you?"I laugh cause it seems like they are so serious

but Victoria went to me furiously and grab my neck.

"Here's one thing for you, If you want to leave this place alive do not do anything foolish because you're not only getting yourself killed but also us" She let go of me and angrily look at her brother, the moment she grab the wooden door knob a sound of horses and sword is coming this way.

She immediately closes the door and her brother runs to kill the flame in the oil lantern causing darkness to the whole house.

"what are you doing?" I lower my voice.

"Sssshhhh get down" at first I didn't understand why do I need to get down so I didn't move a bit.

Victoria pulls me to the floor together with her body.

She holds me close to her and covered my mouth.

"The crown Princess Victoria has seen of coming this way earlier together with the Crown Prince" We heard the soldiers conversation outside.

"Idiot look at this shitty house they used to live in, why would they come here? if they are having a comfortable life inside the castle?" Many of them laugh.

"You are playing us" Laughter filled the whole place.

"or maybe they've gone this way to have a shortcut through there"

"Look at my finger idiot, look where I am pointing"

"Physical training for them to be ready in every danger in this woods is held there"

"Now that makes sense!"

"C'mon let's go back to our post" we heard the horses are going far from us.

"Princess Victoria?" As soon as I speak Victoria gets up.

"Stay here for a while"

"Where am I?"

"C'mon Victoria let's go" Her brother went outside first.

"WHERE THE HELL AM I?!" I cannot help myself because I want to find an answer right now.

What kind of situation am I in right now?
