Chapter 5 4

"But do I have a choice? It's their parents' house. They have more rights than me. I'm just a bitch."

His friend looked up into the air. "That's not a problem; hey, go to a hotel while he's at home."

"It's not that easy," she grumbled. "He warned me not to stay in a hotel while he stays in the house. I think that guy wanted to torture me too. I don't know what trip he's on in life, but I don't want trouble."

It flew into the air again. "Oh, then? You're going to scare him?" This is a mocking question. "When have you shocked Marcus Dela Cruz?"

Pham was speechless. This is correct. Will he shock Marcus even now?

"I'm not afraid of him." he said this as he casually groped the invitation he received yesterday at the shop. "He can't stop me from leaving the house."

"That's my best friend." He stood up to hug her. "Don't deliberately oppress your husband's parents; it's bad for your health. i know why you can't leave that house, even if you're being spoken to badly. As long as you need something, just call me, okay?"

"I will." He smiled at her and kissed her on the cheek. "Thank you for always being there for me."

"You too."

abbygail returned to her table, and then they started to eat what she ordered.

It was nighttime when Pham got home. He and Abbygail even went for a walk. And just as she suspected, Marcus was in the living room, and it looked like he was planning to ruin her night. it's good that his mother is not there to ruin his night.

"It's late." He immediately said that he was annoyed.

"I am with my friend." He refrained from scolding her.

"Oh, really?" There was doubt in his voice.

He made it difficult. "I thought I wouldn't feel your presence while you were here? what is it?"

"You might be with someone else."

"What are you implying?" He asked bluntly. "That I'm with another man?" His jaw was throbbing with anger.

"Probably."

He laughed slyly, and his sharp eyes shot him with an evil look. "I love my husband. And you have no right to question that." after saying that, he went up the stairs and went to his room.

Pham automatically seeks out her wedding ring to calm her down. He took a deep breath and let it out carefully. Then he sat on the edge of his bed.

Pham opened her bag and took out the invitation.

Temptation Island.

to escape the presence of the entire Dela Cruz family, he goes to the island. At least, if only temporarily, he can rest. But he will also return-he will return to Martin. He just needed a little break from the hurtful words he received every day from his family.

Marcus groaned at the sound of his phone ringing. Despite being sleepy, he answered whoever was calling.

"Marcus speaking. Who's this?" He asked the person on the other line.

"This is Lucas."

He groaned and pushed himself to get up from the bed. Lucas Monasterio won't call just to say hi.

"Do you need something?" He looked at the watch on the nightstand. "It's just nine in the morning, my friend. You are pestering my sleep."

Lucas just chuckled at his complaints. "Fatima Dela Cruz. Does that name ring a bell?"

He stopped, and his eyebrows met. "Why are you asking?"

"Because," Lucas drawls, "she just signed an agreement that whatever happens on the island stays on the island."

Fuck! "No, she didn't..."

"Yeah, she did. Just now, actually."

He clenched his fist. "What is that girl thinking? she said she's not interested in coming," was his answer when he asked him about temptation island.

Lucas clucked his tongue. "Looks like she changed her mind. She's off to the island as we speak."

"Fuck."

"Yeah."

"I will kill her for lying to me."

The other person laughed. "You better get to her first, before the wolves feast on her. No one will force her to do what she doesn't want to do, but you know the members of the island; they won't stop until they get what they want."

His mood darkened. "If they touch any part of Fatima's body, I will shoot them. Mark my word, Lucas."

Lucas gives out a rich and thick laugh. "My friend, who put you in charge of her body? Last time I checked, she was your brother's wife, not yours."

He grimaced in irritation. "Who sent the invitations anyway?"

Lucas was silent for a second. "You."

"Me?" he screamed in shock. "How did that happen? I still have my invitation with me, and..." he stopped speaking and quickly opened the attaché case that he got from Tariq on the island because he had forgotten about it and it was right that he was about to leave the island. "Fuck!" he cursed loudly when he saw that the invitation card was not inside the attache case.

"What?"

"Tariq sent the invites using my invitation." His jaw tightened.

Lucas just laughed. "Well, Tariq has a really fast hand."

He was insulted one after another. "Send the chopper to my building. I'm coming."

"Copy that, my friend."

When the person on the other line disappeared, Marcus quickly dressed and packed.

That woman! That woman would pay for not thinking straight and for setting foot on that island!

Pham is tightly holding the copy of the agreement form he signed earlier while riding the helicopter to the island. His eyes dropped to the paper he was holding, and he read it again for the fifth time.Temptation Island Agreement the purpose of this letter of agreement is to outline the rules and regulations that the visitor has to follow while on Temptation Island.I, Fatima Dela Cruz, widow and of legal age, agree;1. To stay on the island for two weeks.2. That whatever happens on the island stays on the island.3. That all devices, such as cellphones, tablets, and cameras, are not allowed on the island.
