Chapter 80

**Kapittel 79**

**"Sure?" **

"Sure."

Hades looked at her eyes for a moment, searching for something in them before heaving off a sigh and kissing Allison's hand that he was holding. "Tell me if there's something wrong, okay?"

She nodded in return. "Okay," she affirmed before peering outside the window that caused her breath to be taken away.

Everything looked very breathtaking. The blue skies that went like forever, the ethereal white, puffy clouds that looked like cotton candies, the island healthy green beauty of the island of Bora Bora, and the blue richness of the deep ocean. It was such a sight to see. For her it felt like a dream, it was like a dream but it was all real. All that she was seeing were all pure and real.

"Beautiful isn't it?" she heard a baritone voice from behind her asked. She turned and met eyes with him for the nth time. She gave off a breathless smile before nodding eagerly, showing him how he made her happy, really happy.

She turned her head and peeked through the glass window again and her jaw dropped in an instant. There stood miles away was an island made of coral, taking the color of the green algae and the beautiful shape of a heart.

"Wh... what is that island?" she muttered to herself, leaning her face closer to the window with her voice faint but clear for both Hades and Captain Randy to hear. It was such a fascinating sight to see.

"Oh, that heart-shaped atoll, madame? That's Tupai, Bora Bora's neighbor," she heard Captain Randy answer with a proud voice, showing off his knowledge about French Polynesia.

'Gosh, Brent would surely love this if he sees this place!' she thought that caused her smiling lips to falter into a hideous frown and melancholy to creep in her knees.

Brent.

Johnsy.

Rebecca.

She remembered them. Her friends, her dear friends. If only she was seeing the wonderful sight with them, she would be happier than how she felt right now. She bit her lower lip, trying to contain the overwhelming emotions that seeped into her chest. She missed them, so much.

"Is there something bothering you, love?" she heard a worried voice ask behind her. She instinctively turned her head and saw the man who brought her to this place, and that was when she remembered why she stayed with him. And that was to give him a chance he deserved so much despite the shortcomings he had committed and the solace he gave. She gave him a chance to show her how he felt for her. To show her how much he loved her and what he was capable of doing for her, to which he never fails of showing.

She shook her head at him before telling, "Thank you."

Hades' face contorted in confusion. "What do you mean, love?"

"For bringing me here, to this island. For making me experience this. For making me feel loved and special. Thank you."

"Thank you. Thank you so much," she added and gave a chaste kiss on his cheek.

He ducked his head to kiss her forehead. "Anything for you, love."

She felt her heart tugged delightedly in euphoria. She nodded at him before turning her head back to look at the view outside.

**Time flew fast** like a gust of wind, and it was already evening, forcing everyone to call it a day and for the fun seaplane trip to end, which was much to Allison's disappointment. She wanted to see and explore more of French Polynesia, to see more breathtaking views and hear amazing stories about them, but a day wasn't bound to last forever.

"It's so unfair, Hades." She pouted as she took hold of Hades' soft hand and meticulously stepped down the seaplane. It was such a breathtaking trip, and she didn't want to end it. Just seeing those wondrous views encouraged her to travel the whole world, and she swore, she freaking would.

"Don't worry, love," he told her and pulled her to him when her feet landed on the wooden conduit. "I'll take you to another adventure tomorrow," he assured her and leaned down to kiss her cheek.

"And cliff-hang to me again? That's very kind of you, Hades," she said sardonically, rolling her eyes at him before giving off a bitter, frustrated sigh, jokingly showing to the man how disbelieved she was. But instead of getting along with the fake mood, he just chuckled at her and moved his arm to her shoulders then pulled her closer to his huge body. She then reciprocated by wrapping her arm around his sculpted waist, whilst wondering how he got those muscles.

She clandestinely scrutinizes his huge frame from head to toe. Every part of his body was huge and muscular, from his thick, veiny neck down to his strong calf. She thought maybe because he was of Dutch descent. People from the Netherlands were stereotyped for being huge, even women were. But she was pretty sure none of the men would be so muscular as Hades was, his body almost looked like a replica of Chris Hemsworth's jacked body!

They bid goodbye to Captain Randy who shook hands with Hades ever so gratefully before walking back to the resort with their feet moving in unison, the dastard sand creeping into their flip-flops, making the couple's heels step on the sand and feel the grainy texture, annoying her.

To ease the nuisance away, she looked up at the sky to admire the beauty of the evening. It was such a beautiful night. The moon shows and glowed fully, showing off its gracefulness and sophisticated exquisiteness. The breeze swept effortlessly, carrying the same briny scent of the sea that she always smelled. The waves hit the shore back and forth with rhythm, cascading the sand smoothly, like a piece of fabric to the skin. The atmosphere was conspicuously peaceful.

"It's such a beautiful night," she blurted out breathlessly whilst looking at the bright moon that's reflection was shown by the ocean's waters. Instinctively, she closed her eyes and took a deep breath, inhaling the sea's natural scent.

"It sure is," she heard companion reply, his voice smooth and silky like a piece of expensive fabric. Her blood then began to boil and run up to her face in mushiness when he added: "Just like you, my girl."

Tolerating her crazily beating heart, she playfully smacked him in reply. "That's not a good joke, Hades."
