Chapter 6
GAME 1/DAY 1
Catherine
Yesterday is our rest day. We just arrived here on Lust Island but we're given the privileged to relax and unwind on this beautiful Island.
After the tempting breakfast. We are allowed to roam around and explore the whole place.
And I must say that it's beautiful!
Lust is just its name but the place is innocent and fragile.
It's the cleanest beach that I've ever seen.
And we are lucky enough to be chosen and enjoy the beauty of nature.
It's a chance of a once in a lifetime!
But it's just temporary!
Today, the real game will begin. I'm a little nervous about it.
Thinking if we can survive all of the trials and temptations that will come our way.
And our private life will also gone beginning today! There are so many CCTV cameras all over the whole of Lust Island.
We are being monitored 24/7. The only private place is our room!
But outside has lots of cameras too.
We are given a chance to have a private moment when sleeping.
But during the game, we are all being watched closely.
As long as we are outside our room we are being recorded via live coverage.
"Good morning, Participants! How's your day?" The host asked happily.
"Great!" Someone shouted.
"Cool!" The other one answered.
"Excited!" They are shouting and excited for the opening salvo of the game.
I and George is just quiet at the corner. The Devil bastard is also seriously listening while her girlfriend is flirting with the man beside her!
What a sight!
"That's good then. Now, it's time to talk seriously. But before that, let me ask this question. Why did you join this contest?" The host asked.
Why? I asked myself.
I can't even answer this question impromptu!
I'm here because of George. Is this a valid reason?
Of course for the tempting prize too.
"For the prize!" The guy in front answered.
"Camera exposure!" The girl shouted.
And the others look at her like "What?"
She just raise her eyebrows and rolled her eyes at them.
"Prize!"
"For experience!"
"For popularity!"
That's the other answer but the grand prize money wins by the majority!
"I guess, mostly all of you want the Tempting Grand Prize! But It's not easy! You need to have 100% self-control from any Temptation. Can you do it?
"Yeah!"
"We will survive!"
"We will win!"
"We will win the grand prize!" George shouted.
And I'm surprised!
His eyes are full of determination and courage.
I'm glad that he's like that!
We will become a Billionaire if we will win!
I hold his hand and shouted.
"We will win!" I shouted but got distracted when I see the Devil bastard shakes his head and smirk at me.
I bite my lips and my eyes become round while looking at him. I look like a mad cat with funny eyes!
He looks at me intensely!
What is happening to him now?
I don't care!
"I'm glad that there's fire and determination in each other's eyes! Have you seen the last season of the Billionaire's Temptation Game?" He asked curiously.
I can't answer because I don't know what happened.
"Damn!"
"Too sad!"
"Tragic!"
George didn't answer. But I know that he knows! He's the number 1 fan of this game!
I suddenly felt curious!
"It's sad and tragic! Nobody wins the Grand Prize! They are tempted and all are eliminated!" The host said sadly.
Everybody in the crowd gasps in surprise!
And I'm surprised too!
It's tragic indeed.
George looks at me and holds my hand.
"Don't worry babe. This will not happen to us." He said.
"I know! We will win." I answered smiling.
"Did you change your mind? You can still back out before the game started. Is anyone in here? Just raise your hand!" I look around and no one raises their hand.
We are all determined to win!
"That's good! Before we start, Let me remind you of the rules of the game! All of you will stay here on Lust Island for 100 days when the game will be officially started.
The game has a very simple rule: Sex is prohibited if you're not a couple. If you're tempted, your OUT!
The punishment: Automatic termination of players and a Legal Wedding, to be witnessed by the remaining contestants. Do you understand, how serious the punishment is?" He asked.
"Yeah!"
"It's the end of every relationship!"
"It will ruin our life!"
"That's right, are you all still willing to join?" The host asked again.
"Yes!!" Everyone shouted.
"That's good! Then, the Billionaire's Temptation Game Begins!"He shouted and turned around.
The host got the moves and everyone is amazed! We are all excited about our first game!
"Welcome to the Billionaire's Temptation Game! It's your Day 1 and Game 1. The first game is very simple. "Dive for the win!" He shouted.
And mysterious music is being played all over the lust Island!
The jolly host dances happily. He looks like a joker!
And I forgot to say that the host is wearing Hawaiian attire as well as the men in black are scattered over the whole island. They are standing like a statue!
"The mechanics of the game is very simple! All participants will Dive into the ocean and find the golden key! But here's the twist of the game. First, come the first key! There are only 200 keys! The remaining 99 participants will automatically be eliminated! If one of the couples can get a key, they are in and qualified. Are you ready?! Let the game begin!" The host shouted and we dive into the ocean.
It's not too deep, just enough for us to dive and look for the key. The golden keys are shining brightly under the water.
I was going to get one but someone grab the key from me!
I forgot that there are only 200 keys!
We need to fight if we want to be qualified for the next game!
I grab her hand but she's strong enough to push me deeper down below!
I struggled to swim up as there were so many people fighting for the key!
I'm losing my breath and need to swim up above if I want to live. But I can't! People are still pushing each other just to get the golden key.
For now, I don't care about the golden key!
I can't breathe. Where's George? I didn't see him! Hope he's okay.
But I think I'm dying!
Before I close my eyes, I see the devil bastard coming to me.
I open my eyes and the ray of sun greeted my eyes.
I'm alive! I look around and we are at the seashore but this is not Lust Island!
I'am lost! But who saved me?
And here he is! Walking towards me in his naked glory.
What is he doing? I cover my eyes and didn't look at him.
Devil bastard!
"You're finally awake!" He said smirking.
"Yeah, but could you please wear something?" I asked and he laugh at me.
"Why? We are at the Lust Island. You will see naked bodies for the following days. But I never thought that you're that weak!" He makes me angry!
I'am weak?
"I'm not weak! It's just too crowded for me to swim up above. They are crazy for that damn key!" I answered.
"How about you? I guess you want to win the billion prize too." He asked looking at me intensely.
"Yeah, everyone wants the pot money! And you want to win too that's why you're here. So, don't play like a saint." I said angrily.
"Okay-okay. Take your time and the rescuer will arrive soon. By the way, I will get our clothes." He said then walked away.
But what is he saying?
Get our clothes?!
I look at my body and I'm naked!
That Devil bastard!
What did he do to me?
I feel my body but nothing is aching.
I guess he just take off my clothes?
But it's unforgivable!
"Here are your clothes! Wear it quickly or the rescuer will see you naked." He laughed.
"Damn you! What did you do to me while I'm unconscious?" I asked accusing him.
He laughed even more like a devil himself.
"And what will I do with that ugly body of yours? You're funny Miss. You should thank me for saving you!" He answered.
He's insulting me!
My body is ugly? How dare he!
But he saved me.
I will not make things complicated. I don't want to talk to him!
"Thank you for saving me. But please, next time. Don't insult someone's body. I'm not sexy, I know that but I'm satisfied with my own body." I said then wear my clothes.
I don't care if he's there watching me. He insulted my body. He's not interested, So why hide it?
I'm surprised when I see him at my back!
"What are you doing? You will give me a heart attack!" I shouted.
But he's only looking at me while gritting his teeth. What is happening to him?
"Are you okay?" I asked nervously.
He didn't answer but touched my hair gently. And I don't know why I close my eyes!
Feeling the touch of his hand...
No! This cannot be!
Open your eyes, Catherine!
This is just the beginning of the game then I will be tempted?
I will not allow that!
Damn you, devil bastard!
I open my eyes quickly, only to see him looking at me.
He's very near and I can't control the magnet that is pulling me toward him!
Our face is one inch apart!
What are you doing Catherine?!
Then we heard a whistle coming from a private yacht.
I blink my eyes and look away from him.
That was closed!
