Genius Girl Chapter 126 - 126: The Island Part 1

Chapter 126 - 126: The Island Part 1

Stretching both arms, Selena let out a yawn. She's about to get up when she found Anders sitting on the couch in her room.

She sat up, rubbed both eyes and yawn once again. She remembered everything, including the time she puked on Daniella.

Remembering that, fear crept across her face. She gulped hard nervously and looked around.

"Ms. Chen and your uncle are gone. They will be back tomorrow," Anders spoke and when those words flooded her mind, all the pain throbbing in her head disappeared.

She got up lively as if she didn't drink yesterday but as soon as her feet lay on the carpet, her body shook and it fell to the ground like a withered leaf.

Anders rushed to her, he carried her body back to the bed and covered it with a blanket.

He smiled after seeing her pouting, "Daniella said you drunk a lot so relax."

Selena frowned at him, "carry me downstairs Anders, I want to lay on the couch." she ordered.

Without a word, Anders carried her downstairs and as soon as he lay her down to the couch, the door was opened.

"Where's Evan?" it was the voice of a woman whom Selena had heard numerous times. With her weak body, she slightly sat up and looked at the door.

There she found Camille - the model whom she loves and adores so much, standing by the door like a G.o.ddess with two luggage next to her.

"Camille!" she yelled in a weak but exciting tone, "I missed you!"

With the same bright smile of the sun outside, Camille replied, "I missed you too Darling."

Evan's eyebrows creased as soon as he realized the island they were on.

He's with Daniella, he was sitting on the front seat of the helicopter while she navigated it.

Through the headset, he heard Daniella calling him.

"We will be landing soon."

He nodded and looked outside. It was dark, forbidding him to see the island.

Soon the helicopter landed smoothly, they both got down and held each other's hands.

There were few lights around, the ground was muddy and there's no proper road that he could see within his sight.

The surrounding was cold and dark, it was the kind of autumn coldness.

He looked down and saw some leaves in different colors, right there he realized that they were on an island with a different climate.

"You've been here before," Daniella's voice was almost a whisper, he swung his face to his side and looked at her.

Still unsure where they were, Evan asked, "how can you say that?" confusion flashed in his eyes.

She gave him a faint smile, "I saw your picture with Mr. Chu and Glen, you three were here."

Evan rose a brow, perplexed to what she was saying.

"I bought this island four years ago," saying that, Daniella started walking towards the darkness, "this was previously owned by the Chu, Roy Chu."

Evan didn't bother to ask, he let her continue.

"I was on the way back from London when he was ambushed," she took in a deep breath, looked at the darkness ahead, "I rushed to him at the hospital with the deed of sale of this island."

When she felt the hesitation on Evan's about going further the darkness, Daniella gripped his hand to show him that he could trust her.

And so then, they continued walking, their footsteps sounded every time they stepped on the tree branches or old leaves, and it disturbed the birds and insects around.

"He couldn't sign it. I was too late so I took his thumb and put some of his blood and left a thumbmark on the paper," she giggled bitterly, "that's how I got this island."

And Evan remained quiet even after hearing that.

"I could have saved him," she said in a faint voice, it was sad but not strained with regrets, "but I am sinner already and saving a monster to kill more people, what would it make me?" she shook her head, "then I realized I am a monster myself. I torture people Evan," she halted and slightly turned, then she leaned her forehead on his arm.

"You were just taking your revenge, Daniella. They hurt you," Evan said, he knew and saw what she had done, it was gruesome but she's just doing what she thought was right for her. She's just trying to get herself the justice she deserved.

"I've said that to myself. But actually, I love it," she laughed while tears formed in her eyes, "I enjoyed it, Evan, torturing people, it makes my blood rush, mind explode… I-" she gulped hard; her lips trembled as she tried to continue.

"I have this chip in my brain that allows me to read people's minds, see their past. And the thoughts I am seeing every time I drill their bones… it's disturbingly incredible," she gasped for air and blew it out of her trembling mouth.

"I enjoyed Evan…" this time she took a few steps back, with the moonlight's held, she was able to see the strange look on Evan's face.

She gulped hard, she needed to tell him the whole truth and let him decide if he would accept her or not even though a huge part of her was begging her not too.

"I was so overwhelmed with my feeling to you that I forgot I can't have a normal life," resting both hands on her h.i.p.s, she blew out another shaky breath, "you don't want a woman who had done nothing but to slice people's body to be in your kitchen with ap.r.o.n on preparing your meal."

She shut her eyes and at that moment her tears fell in big pieces.

"I love you but, I am not wife material," her shoulder shook as she let out a sudden laugh, "so you can still back out. Because I don't want to tell you everything about me, Evan. I am terrified."

"Terrified of what?" Evan spoke.

Thrusting both hands in the pocket of the military uniform she had on, Daniella shrugged, "that you're going to think of me as a monster. The one that should be in the laboratory."

He took two steps towards her yet their distance remained far, "you once called yourself a psycho," he said in a low voice.

"And I said you're a cute psycho."

Once again he took a few steps, this time they were facing each other.

Lifting a hand to caress her messy hair, he continued, "now you call yourself a monster," he bent his face to level to hers and placed both palms on her cheeks.

"And I'd say you're a beautiful monster Daniella," saying that, he smiled that showed his perfect line teeth, "tell me, is there anyone else on this island?"

Daniella gulped hard, she could see her reflection through his eyes and she wished she could read his mind.

She parted her lips, difficulty was displayed on her face, "Yeah, why?" she asked.

Hearing that, the corner of Evan's lips lifted, and l.u.s.t started to sparkle in his eyes.

"Nothing, I just need to make sure that no one will see me when I do this," and after those words let out from his lip coa.r.s.ely, the sound of the b.u.t.ton ripping echoed around.

Daniella's face flattened when she realized what he has in his mind.

Immediately, she pouted and slapped his hands away from her destroying the remaining b.u.t.ton of the military uniform.

"Evan seriously! I brought you here to tell you about myself and all you can think about is my body!" after blurting those words, Daniella walked away.

"But we are alone here," Evan spoke, following her.

"Yes, but we can't do it here, like here!"

Evan tilted his head, "why not?"

"Because its…" she stuttered, "it's hard and dirty and muddy and cold and-" she swallowed all the words she wanted to say when Evan pulled her closer by her wrist and sealed their lips.

"It might be dirty, muddy and cold but it won't be hard," he said as he pulled his lips from her.

Daniella rolled her eyes "ugh! It's so hard to say no when you look at me like that," then she grabbed the phone she hid inside the military pocket and dialed Robert's number.

When the man answered, she wrapped a hand around Evan's neck.

"Robert, disable all the camera. If I found out that you left one on, I am going to lock you up in the cave."

She didn't wait for Robert's reply, she ended the call and let Evan carry her as he walked forward towards the tree.
