***It breathed a breezy frosty morning the subsequent day***
Celine slowly opened her eyes and she yawned and sat up scratching her both arms. She felt quite a strain on her neck and she curled it to reduce the pain and she yawned again feeling sleepy.
She stood up from the mat and she stepped out of the hut. She wondered where Noah could be, and she walked around the hut hoping to sight him but she didn't.
She walked towards the sea and she glanced at the huge rocks and trees and she felt bored and turned to return to the hut when she noticed a figure. Not sure of what she saw, she turned to the sea, and stared at the figure closely.
She screamed realizing that it was Noah coming out from the sea and he was completely nude.
Noah heard her screams and he panicked, "what's wrong?"
Thinking that a huge shark might be swimming towards him, he quickly turned and peered at the sea and he wondered why he can't spot the shark.
Celine screamed louder and he turned to her and shouted, "what's the matter?"
"You're...." She tried to speak, and Noah noticed her eyes looking down at him, and he got embarrassed realizing that he was nude, and he covered his private region with both his hands.
Celine turned backing him.
"I'm really sorry, I didn't know that you'd wake up really early today."
"Pervert." She murmured and folded her arms. She stood in front of the rocks.
"Could you um, hand me my clothes. It's right there."
Celine glanced at his clothes lying on the rocks and she held it and picked it up. Noah approached the huge rocks and he grabbed his clothes from her.
Celine huffed out and Noah stared at her walking away. She was heading to the hut.
"I guess I frightened her." Noah muttered and smiles tilted the corners of his lips.
Celine paced anxiously in the hut thinking aloud, "what kind of a idiot bathes in the sea without his clothes besides him? How disgusting. I just wonder where dad found him and hired him as my guard."
Noah stepped into the hut and Celine shivered feeling startled and Noah felt quite jumpy glancing at her furrowed eyebrows. Celine peeked at him and noticed that he was dressed up.
"I know that you did that on purpose!" Celine shouted.
"Did what?" Noah raised a brow.
"Don't act dumb with me. You wanted me to see you nude."
"I wasn't expecting that you would be up so early. Besides, I felt itchy and I smelled bad and I just wanted a bath."
"Well you should have been sensible."
Noah shouted, "it's not my fault we're stranded on a Island! I know that Federico is the man you love so I'm not gonna compete with him for you. I know where my place is." He walked outside.
Celine sighed.
***It was one in the afternoon later that day***
The cops arrived at Edward's mansion. The cop officer, Robert and two other cops walked with him through the entrances and they stepped into the living room.
Edward was walking downstairs with Alia to head to the dining area to have lunch when they spotted at the cops.
Federico arrived at the mansion. He drove his car to the parking lot, parked it and he stepped out of the car approaching the entrances to the living room.
Edward furrowed his eyebrows and he walked towards the cops. Alia walked behind him.
"So, have you started looking for my daughter?"
Robert replied, "yea, we just left the club your daughter attended the previous night and we asked about her and her guard. We were told that there was a scuffle between Noah and Federico which is why we are here to ask for the location of Federico."
Edward sighted Federico entering the room. "He is here!"
Federico approached the cops, "do you have any results of where Celine might be?"
"No, " Robert said firmly, "I learnt that you and Noah had a scuffle before Celine and him went missing."
"Yea. So am I now a suspect? What are you implying officer?" Federico furrowed his eyebrows.
"Before you left the club, did you not notice anybody acting weird or suspicious?"
Federico shook his head, "no. I was too furious to notice anything. I just wanted to get out of the club to stay away from Celine."
"In that case, " Robert turned to Edward, "I will check the club's CCTV footage to see what actually happened that night."
"Alright Officer be quick and find my daughter. Nothing should happen to her." Edward said calmly.
"Excuse us." Robert stepped out of the room and the cops followed.
Edward frowned upon Federico, "you have no right to be here after abandoning my daughter at the club. Celine won't be missing if you did not ditch her."
"Edward calm down." Alia said softly.
"Oh really I'm to blame? Who hired an incompetent guard for her? If the guard was capable Celine would still be with us so it's your fault." Federico shouted.
"Yes it's my fault for letting her leave with you to a club in the first place. You mark my words, once I've found my princess, I will make sure that you never go near her and that's not a threat." Edward said firmly looking into his eyes.
"You will watch me take her from you once we get engaged." Federico smirked and walked out.
***Later that afternoon***
Noah arrived at the hut carrying a small sack of fresh mangoes and pawpaws he plucked from a forest. He walked into the hut, and he was surprised not to find Celine.
"If she's not in here, where could she be?" He muttered and he was recollecting last night.
At 7 last night, Noah was sitting on the bare smooth sand crossing his knees and staring at the flowing sea. The moon shone so brightly, it made the sea glimmer.
Noah's shirt was shaking vehemently as the whirl wind blew. And his hair was flying across his face.
Celine angrily approached him, and she folded her arms.
"Are you just gonna sit there, and stare at the sea instead of thinking of a way to get us out of this goddamn
Island we're stranded on."
Noah sprang up to his feet, and he turned to her and retorted, "do you think I like that we are stranded on an Island with no cellphone to make a call, or that we even had an accident? I wanna be out of here, but we ain't got any boat, nor does your dad know where we are!"
"Well, you're the man between us, you should find a way for us to get outta here!" She screamed.
"I know that you don't like where we are at, and that you miss your grand comfortable home and I promise to get us out of here." He softly said.
"Well, it seems like you're taking too long." She stormed out.
Noah jolted out of his thoughts, and he thought aloud, "I hope she hasn't wandered around the Island. I hope she is not lost or missed her way back here. She hasn't eaten since morning, she should be hungry."
He stepped out of the hut and he walked from the hut to the forest and he screamed Celine's name. He didn't hear any response, and he glanced left and right and did not spot her.
"Where could she be?" He muttered.
The hot shimmering sun was singeing his skin, he was sweltering. He walked further inside the forest.
Celine was at the forest, she stood at the top of the hill and looked around hoping to sight a ship or a boat or a resort, but she couldn't spot at any.
She felt exhausted and sighed, "there should be a boat or a good house. I've got to keep looking."
She peered around, and she spotted an empty boat sailing on the sea, and she stepped to the edge of the hill to see it clearly to be sure if it's actually a boat, and she slipped off the edge of the cliff. She panicked and quickly held the protruding rocks and her legs were dangling. She looked down at the cliff, and realized how steep it is, and bumpy, and she screamed, "Help...! Someone help me out!"
