Chapter 43 - Isla Doble Cara

"Where the hell am I? "knowing she is still at the same island yet this side of the island does not have any similarities of the lively town on the other side—it was its complete opposite.

The breeze started to chill with the rustle of the trees, with every little drop of water coming from above, Seraphina looked up to where she fell off. She thought she should have to climb her way back, but it is too stiff and it was already a miracle for her to survive that fall.

Testing her grip by opening and closing her hands, with the injury she had on her right arm, though not feeling any pain, it makes her uncomfortable.

Regaining her full consciousness, Seraphina decided to move forward because help doesn't seem to come any minute and also during her stay with the town's people, some of them chose to live outside the town, thus, in hopes of finding someone that lives here, maybe she'll know what route she needs to take to get back to the town - also it started to rain.

Having no choice but to find refuge, she mindlessly venture the eerily silent forest with twigs crunching under her feet, with a few drops of rain then it quickly escalated to heavy rain, fortunately, as if is on her she found a rock shelter.

It's just past noon but the sky dusked and the shadows of the trees grew taller in the glades. Although the forest was dark and foreboding, and despite its sullen ambiance, Seraphina has a different concern, she spoke.

"I'm hungry~" as her stomach grumbles loudly.

Meanwhile…

A mini luxury yacht came to stop to the neighboring island where the TV show set was taking place. Inside of the yacht, Alexander Han leisurely came out with his dashing facial features, his broad shoulder and with every step he makes emits elegance -no wonder he was enlisted as one of the most beautiful faces in the world.

Unlike the island where the reality show's location set, this island is far better in any way possible. It has a few mansion villas and an eye-catching huge mansion -it was a perfect place to unwind for the stresses of wealthy families.

Welcoming Alexander Han, there was quite a crowd waiting for him. Aside from the servants, they were also some of the townspeople waiting for his arrival and seeing him, he was welcomed with warmth.

"Brother Al!" shouted by a few kids, they ran towards him and in contrast to his usual cold demeanor, Alexander Han smile gently towards the kids. He knelt down to the kids' height level to receive their little hugs.

"Big brother Al we missed you! We thought you will not come back!"

"Really?" he chuckles seeing the cute little kids crying their hearts out in happiness.

"I know big brother will come back!" sounding proud of himself, another kid spoke.

"but you are crying the other day because you thought he will never come back!" another kid commented, soon after, they started to bicker and say each other harmless comments about how they missed Alexander Han.

"alright, alright. Big brother here is sorry for letting you wait for so long. I am also relieved that all of you are doing well." as he lightly pats a kids head, he gazes every kid smiling, crying expressions and the crowds smile behind them.

"Welcome back young master, " another person from the crowd welcomed him followed by other welcoming greetings. His heart was instantly warmed up, feeling the love of each and every one of them. At least, he knew that these people are genuinely concern about him.

Just as the rain started to pour, followed by the rumbling sounds of thunder from the distance, Although it is like a modernize island, it is still a surprise that Alexander Han manages to transport a few heavy-duty four-wheeled vehicles in this isolated place.

"I'll stop by the chief's residence." he spoke, before saying his farewell to the kids and other residents.

After a few minutes, he arrived at a certain simple bungalow house. Alexander Han brows knitted at the unusual number of people in the chief's residence.

"... sir, if you can lend us a hand." a man spoke anxiously to the man that seems to be in his mid 60's. After pondering for a while, he spoke.

"gather our team and prepare the necessary types of equipment we needed, also-" he stopped midway in his sentence seeing the elegant man quietly leaning at the jamb of the open door.

"young master!" he called him out in surprise.

"what's up?" Alexander Han mildly smiles and wave his hand as he inquires.

"Why'd you need to gather the team?" not receiving a response from the chief, he continued. The man that was asking for help answered mindlessly.

"Sir, we have a situation at Isla Doble Cara, someone fell off at the prohibited area of the island." hearing the news, Alexander Han unconsciously clenched his fist. Seeing his expression, the chief let out a deep sigh, he spoke.

"Also, tell them to bring firearms— just in case," there was an ambiguous air surrounding them as the chief finished his command. Everyone inside the room fell into silence with the last words of the chief.
