Way Back Into Love (Essie)

Chapter 88 A Night In The Cave

In the camp area, the leader suddenly received a phone call from her boyfriend, who was working for

the Weather Bureau. Apparently, the No. 5 wind ball had suddenly turned and condensed into a super

typhoon, and it was coming towards them. She told others that they had to go back to the coast

immediately, inevitably scaring the girls. They packed up their stuff and jumped on the boat. They were

in such a hurry that the leader actually forgot to do a headcount.

Only Mandy knew that there was one person who hadn't come back to the campsite.

She didn't expect that God would help her teach this insidious green tea bitch a lesson. Well, she

deserved to be stuck here and feel the violent storm all alone.

Mandy sneered and followed everyone to the boat.

Meanwhile, on a dark hillside,

Essie woke up.

At once, she felt pain on her forehead and knees.

She had no idea what had happened to her. All she knew was that she had been standing on top of the

hill when someone pushed her from behind. She rolled down the hill and immediately lost

consciousness.

Essie struggled to stand up and limped back to the beach. When she got to the campsite, however,

there was no one and nothing in sight except for her bag, which someone had thrown behind a rock.

Where did everyone go?

Hadn't they agreed to camp on the island?

She took her phone out from her pocket, and found that it was broken. She couldn't even turn it on.

Fortunately, she still had the phone that Zac had given her. Even though it was a cheap-looking phone,

it had great quality and was still in good condition.

She hurriedly called Mandy, but her phone was turned off!

They had been friends for ten years, but she didn't even notice that she wasn't with them?

Did she still have any sort of conscience?

At that moment, she really wanted to cry.

Heavy dark clouds covered the entire sky, and the howling gales created dark winds on the surface of

the sea.

Essie felt like she was going to be blown away by the strong gusts of wind.

In her mind, Essie thought that an oncoming typhoon must have forced them to evacuate the place at

once.

Essie began to feel absolutely terrified. She shuddered and dialed Zac's number. She couldn't think of

anyone to contact but him.

When she called, Zac was lying on the bed and was just about to sleep. It was an uneventful night for

him.

Zac heard his phone ring, so he looked at it and saw that Essie was calling. His lips subconsciously

curled up to form a smile. It was rare for her to call him.

"You little fool, do you miss me?"

"Zac, there's about to be a typhoon. Everyone went back and left me alone on the island..." On the

other end of the line, Essie's voice was trembling. She sounded close to crying.

What the hell!

Zac jumped up from the bed, quickly gathered up some necessities and rushed out like a gust of wind.

While driving, he made a call to William. "Buy me a yacht, do whatever you can do."

As the most capable assistant of Zac, William had the ability to do everything. By the time Zac arrived

at the dock, William and some other men in black with full equipment were already waiting for him.

With a roaring sound, a fierce gust of wind rolled up the sea surface. Waves surged up to the shore like

wild horses, and with an ear-shattering howl, they fell into pieces as they met the sand.

William looked at the sea and said worriedly, "A storm is coming. Be careful." He knew very well that no

one could stop Zac from doing whatever he wanted. All he could do was stay where he was and be

ready to rescue him at any time.

Zac nodded and jumped into the yacht. Soon, the yacht disappeared from William's sight. Zac's nerves

were on edge, and he didn't care about how much danger he was in. How could he care about himself

when the only thing he wanted to do was to run to Essie and protect her?

Meanwhile, on the uninhabited island...

Essie's was trembling in intense fear.

Zac had told her that he would come, but it was already midnight and the typhoon was fast-

approaching. He had no ship of his own. How could he come? Moreover, they were neither relatives

nor friends, so it's not likely he would risk his life for her.

If she called the police, they would come tomorrow morning to rescue her.

The only thing she could do now was find a safe place to hide so that she wouldn't be carried into the

sea by the strong winds.

She suddenly remembered seeing a cave earlier, so she fumbled to go there.

At that moment, a gust of wind swept over her, making such a strong impact that she could hardly

stand on her feet. Panicked, she quickly hugged the big tree next to her.

Following the wind came an anxious voice calling out to her, "Essie, Essie!"

It seemed to be the voice of Zac.

'I'm hallucinating! I must be hallucinating! He couldn't have come!' Essie thought.

She shook her head hard and continued to walk forward.

"Essie!"

Essie was shocked to hear her name again. She turned around at once.

She saw a blinding light being projected on the beach. Essie suddenly burst out into tears. "I am here,

Zac!" she screamed excitedly.

His tall figure rushed over to her like a strong wind and he took her into his arms. "It's all right. It's all

right. It's all right, Essie." He held her so tightly, as if he was afraid that she would be blown away by

the wind. His voice was trembling with anxiety and worry.

The wind howled again, and the sea level rose three meters higher.

Now, they had no choice but to go to the cave ahead of them.

He held her in his arms and ran towards the cave. And as soon as they entered the cave, heavy rain

started pouring.

Zac turned on his flashlight and looked around the cave. It was not a big cave, and there was a smooth

rock beside the wall. The rock was wide enough to allow two people to lie down on it, and there was

even some dry grass on the ground which must have been left behind by some of their peers who had

come to explore.

After placing Essie on the dry grass, he examined the wounds on her knees and forehead, and he was

relieved to see that they were just shallow scratches. He disinfected the wounds with the disinfecting

water he had brought and put band aids on her forehead and knees.

As she looked at him, Essie's heart was filled with a strange feeling that wasn't just gratitude. She

couldn't really describe the feeling. All she knew was that it left a sweet taste in her mouth.

"Zac, the winds are so strong. How were you able to find a boat?"

"I borrowed from a friend," he replied lightly as he caressed her head. "Weren't you with Mandy? Why

didn't she take care of you? Why did she run away without you?" And those jerks! He would kill them if

he found out that they deliberately left an injured girl behind and ran away by themselves.

"I don't know what happened. I lost my balance on the hill and fell down accidentally. When I came

back to the campsite, they were gone." Essie couldn't help shivering as she watched the violent storm

outside. She clearly remembered someone pushing her from behind, but there was no one on the

island aside from her and her friends, and there was no quarrel going on between them. Who would do

such a thing to her?

'Maybe it was just my imagination. Maybe it was the wind, or the branches.'

Thinking of this, Essie decided to let it go.

"If you want to play in the future, just go with me." Zac sighed slightly. Fortunately, she was not

seriously hurt. Now, she was definitely no longer allowed to do dangerous activities when he was not

around.

"You are busy. You don't have time." She pursed her lips and thought to herself, 'He stays with Leila all

day long, and doesn't have the time to hang out with me.'

"I will go with you next week." He touched her nose. The design drawings of the A Island he had been

working on were basically done. The follow-up work could be handed over to his subordinates.

Of course, Essie didn't know that. She thought that Zac was going to have free time because Leila was

going back to Dragon City. Nonetheless, she was secretly pleased, as if she had just gotten rid of a

strong enemy. "What a pity. I don't have time next week," she said with the same distant expression.

"Why?" Zac asked, raising his thick eyebrows.

"The satellite TV station is planning a talent show called 'Beauty on Runway'. The designers will be

chosen from the country, and I signed up to participate." She raised the corners of her lips and smiled.

For a moment, her eyes lit up, but they became dim again in no time. "I don't know if I will be picked."

"If you don't get chosen, the show will be cancelled," he said with a meaningful smile. Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.

It seemed that Essie had been stimulated by the opening ceremony of the fashion week and she now

wanted to be famous. Zac knew that the fashion and entertainment circles were full of dirty deals and

dirty rules. Usually, rankings in some so-called competitions had already been decided before they

could even start.

It was almost impossible for someone who had no background and was unwilling to accept the

unspoken rules to become famous in those circles.

But Essie had him, so she didn't need to worry about anything.

As for the road ahead, he would pave the way for her and get rid of the mountains in her path.

Essie also knew that there was a dark side to the industry. After all, two of her friends were also in that

circle. Mandy had a smooth journey because her father had a good relationship with the head of the TV

station. Eva, on the other hand, had no powerful background and was unwilling to be a key player in

the dark, so she never had a good chance of succeeding.

Essie gave him an unsure smile and said, "I will give it a try, even if it's only on TV." Although she was a

designer, she had a good business sense, and she knew how to market and sell her stuff. Showing up

on TV was still a great free advertising opportunity. Why shouldn't she give it a try and fight for it?

Zac suddenly lowered his head and pecked her lightly on the lips. With an evil smile on his face, he

said, "It's not easy to have a talented designer as my wife. Wouldn't it be a pity to let go?"

Essie blushed and pushed him away shyly. "Don't be too greedy. You already have a bowl of rice, so

you shouldn't expect more!" He had Leila. He couldn't possibly think of anything besides her.

He reached out and took her into his arms. He refused to let her go no matter how much she struggled.

"It's really wrong. Once I've decided to like someone, I couldn't like anyone else."

No way!

He was so attractive that a lot of women were dying to be his girlfriend.

She pouted and said, "I will keep my words from last time. If you take advantage of me again, the

divorce agreement will be postponed for two more days."

Before she could say anything more, Zac pushed her against the hay.

"So, how many days later is it now?"

The evil smile on his face made Essie swallow in panic.

He liked the punishment she was talking about.

He wondered if she would never divorce him for the rest of her life if he made love to her right then and

there.

Outside the cave, the wind raged on and the rain continued pouring down.

Inside the cave, the two enjoyed the warm and lingering moment, with their necks crossing.

Essie felt like she had been besieged by waves. Her mind was completely blank, and she felt like she

had almost lost her mind. He was the blazing sun that could light her, burn her, and melt her.

A chilly gust of wind blew into the cave, and her head started functioning again. The thought of him

having Leila in his arms and doing the same thing to her made her heart freeze.

'I thought you were a pure little rabbit, but now, you are also a dissolute wolf.'

A sense of inexplicable resentment rose in her heart. Then she lifted her leg subconsciously and did

something that scared herself.
