George's POV.
Hmm... the smell of the sea always gets me.
It still brings me peace like it usually does.
I remember this is where my family went to reconcile and escape from Cara's dark schemes.
But look, here I am again, finding that peace in the place I never found peace with.
"Thanks for coming with me." Harry rested his head on my shoulder while caressing my arm.
I felt disgusted.
"Do I have a choice?" I asked.
He looked at me, surprised. "What do you mean?"
"Don't ask. I just want peace, Harry. Give it to me for once." I was furious, hoping he would get how I felt without further explanation.
"Do you ever love me, George?" He asked. Now I know, this is the conversation we should be talking.
I looked at him nonchalantly, "Do you want me to answer that? You'll regret it."

Yul's POV.
"Where did you go?" I asked Cara after giving her a peck.
"Oh, I went out for a smoke. I was hoping you and I could go to the beach with my father, it's his resort, I believe." She asked.
"Really? You want to go on a vacation right now when our business is just around the corner of its success? We're burning fire, I need to focus here." Or do I need to focus on thinking about George?
I'M WORRIED AT HER!
Last time I saw her bruises, it was pretty serious.
But Harry's double-face, no one would even notice.
"Please! It's my wish. I promise to never bother you after this." She squinted her eyes and pouted her lips.
Why am I thinking of you, George? Who are you to barge in my mind?
"Well..."
Flint cuts me off. "We'll go too!"
"WHAT?!" Cara's annoyance is evident as she exclaims, HAHA! This is what I like about you, Flint.
"You don't want?" asked Flint.
"I'll go if you let him. Besides, I think that was the right time for you to announce your soon-to-be wife." Phew... he saved me there.
"Yeah, so let me come!" Flint insisted.
She rolled here eyes. "As long as you stay away from us before dinner time, I'm fine. But to make it clear, I don't want you to come!"
"Well, you already said yes!"
He was excited.
Cara talked about shits like what to wear in the beach, what should we do, and how long shall we stay there.
While here I am, drowned in my own thoughts where George could possibly go.
---
Kate's POV.
"I don't understand why your brother became so useless!" I exclaimed as I was eating junk food.
"First of all, Kate, get rid of that food." He took it away from me. "Second, don't overstress yourself. I'll talk with Hanakim and Fernando. Yancy's coming from Japan too, maybe he can help."
"You should've thought of that sooner. I should've never insisted on asking Yul for his help. I felt disgusted." She rolled her eyes.
"Just like you, I wanted to help them too. I want them to get back together," said Cygnus as he took a deep breath. "My best friend needs help... and I know I'm not the one she needs right now."
---
Cara's POV.
"Where the fuck is Mr. H?!" I exclaimed angrily. "Belle's gone missing too! Where are my people?!"
My assistant was trembling as she came forward. "I-I don't understand, Ms. Halle. As far as I know, they went out 7 days ago, after your focus shifted to St. Adelina. No one knows what are they doing."
"AAAHHHCHK! So do your job! What am I paying you for?!"
Did they use me?
I'm not yet too drunk to Yul Matthew, I can still kill a battalion of traitors!
"I want to kick your butt right now. I'm holding myself back while you serve your purpose!"
Wherever they are hiding my treasure right now, I'll make sure to hunt them down, even to their grave.

Yul's POV.
We're here to the beach that she was boasting about.
I can't control myself to think about her.
I was sipping a glass of coffee from my mug, looking from afar while the sun is about to set.
Ha...
Where are you, George?"
Unknown calling...
I rushed to pick up the call.
"What?"
"We found her."
---
My heart is beating so fast while sitting on the bench, wearing a floral polo and shorts.
Cara is lying down the sand, enjoying the kissed of the sun.
As for me, I was searching for George.
We're on the same beach. COULD YOU BELIEVE THAT?
I called James.
"Set up the venue. Make sure everyone is invited."
"Are you sure? If you do this now, there's no turning back." He asked.
"Yes."
I hung up the call.
And right this instant, I found her.
"I'll meet you at the lobby later, Cara," I said. She didn't give me a look, I supposed she was already sleeping.
---
George's POV.
I let my tears come out of my eyes.
Then I felt a warm hand pulling me out of the bay.
He even covered my mouth.
WHO THE FUCK IS THIS?
I let him.
Who cares if I die, anyway?
I closed my eyes and let him do what he wanted.
Whoever this man is, I wished he let me die quickly.
I knew it, this was Harry's plan for me.
But he hugged me.
"Please... let's leave."
"Y-Yul?"
---
Flint's POV.
"I'm so excited to finally reveal you." We're watching Cara as she enjoys her rest day.
Hanakim and I are drinking alcohol in our exclusive room, so we're just watching Cara from afar.
"I know. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't make it here. But are you sure you can take the consequences? This is the end if you reveal me," asked Kim.
"Yes, I already know that." She smiled. "Thank you so much for helping me. I almost give him up to Cara, though. Honestly, he and George are toxic to each other. But after knowing what Cara did, I think you made the right choice."
"Oh, please! You're just disappointed that Yul Matthew never fell in love with Cara. You knew it, yet you still tried to feed your ego."
"Stop!" I said softly. "Right now, I just want Yul Matthew to do his revenge plan."
"But where do you think is he?" she asked.
"I don't know. Why? Should I start worrying?" Is he doing something dangerous again?
---
Yul's POV.
She hugged me back.
Finally, her tears came out voluntarily.
"What are you doing here?" she asked in a very low voice, trying to stop herself from whimpering.
I brought her to a separate room I rented.
"You made me worry for nothing." I turned away my body from her. "You should answer your phone. Cygnus and Kate are worried."
I was about to walk away, but I was still not convinced that she'd do alright by herself.
"Go home, George," I asked.
"I will. But don't bother me anymore." She stood up and was about to reach for the door.
I pulled her arm.
"Leaving again? After this, what will you do? Please, attend to their needs. They need to know you're in safe hands."
She's not answering, so I purposely turned her body to me. "GEORGE! STOP DRIVING ME CRAZY!"
"I'm not. You're just worried. Control yourself, because I'm controlling mine. I'm trying to keep my emotions to myself so I won't ruin your life again." She's bold... and I hate it.
I want her to show her soft side only to me.
"I want you to ruin me again, George." I can't help it.
"Why would I? Do you want to kill me? Are you playing with my feelings?"
"I still love you." Oh, fuck! Now, I said it. What's with this stupid mouth, it can't keep a secret.
A moment of silence.
"What am I supposed to say?" she asked.
"Just say you love me, and I'll do the rest." What am I saying?
"What the fuck, Yul Matthew---"
I shut her through my kiss.
I thought she wouldn't kiss me back... but she did.
My hands trace her body. Oh, I've been craving for this.
She disengaged from my kiss and whispered.
"How can you afford to fuck with me while you were fucking with Cara too?" I can feel the vengeance in her voice.
"What makes you think I'm still doing this with her?" I asked.
"Why not?" I shut her again with a peck of kiss.
I traced her lips with my thumb. "You're the only woman that deserves this. My only woman."
"I hope so..." she whispered as she removed my shirt. "I want you exclusively."
But suddenly... someone was about to open my door.
"Oh my god... is she here?" George whispered.
"Of course not!"
George went to the comfort room.
"What took you so long?"
