Chapter 718

The woman was looking for water when, out of the blue, several burly guys blocked her path. Meanwhile, standing to the side and watching her with an unreadable expression
Her eyes narrowed, and she felt an instinctual fear surging from deep inside her.
Panic–stricken, she stumbled backward, only to real that there was nowhere left to run
His gaze remained locked on her as he slowly closed the distance between them. Makce, known as someone who acted on Impulse and did whatever he pleased, dug through old memories and finally found a relevant fragment in a comer of his mind
It was no wonder this woman was terrified of him, and he finally understood why his subordinates found her familiar.
“So, it’s you, Abble.”
The moment he spoke her name, the woman visibly flinched.
Abbie–the struggling, low–tier actress who had once clawed her way up the ladder with her looks and body–had chanced upon Stephan’s assistance in terms of resources However, before she could even finish filming her first major role, she screwed up and lost everything.
Desperate, she went to great lengths to beg Maurice for protection, only to be thrown into a crocodile pit instead.
After that, she disappeared completely. And now, here she was.
Maurice was mildly surprised, but he wasn’t interested in her past. Cutting straight to the point, he asked, “How do you leave this island?”
Abbie laughed
At first, it was a suppressed, bitter chuckle. Her body trembled as though she was barely holding something back. Then, the laughter escalated, her eyes burning with pare hatred “You think you can escape? You can’t. No one can. Once you set foot on this island, you’re trapped. You should just give up!
“Maurice, bet you never thought you’d end up like this, huh? I wonder if this is karma. You destroyed me and left me for dead, and now, you’re stuck here too. I don’t know why you came , but it doesn’t matter because you’re never leaving!”
As she cackled maniacally, Maurice’s patience wore thin. With a flick of his gaze, he signaled his men. He wanted to restrain this woman and find ways to make her talk later. However, before they could grabber, the ground trembled violently beneath their feet. It was as if an earthquake had struck.
The entire island was moving!
The sudden shit caught everyone off guard.
Even Abbie, who had been laughing moments ago, froze. Her expression twisted, her face paling as her laughter turned into fear and despair.
“It’s happening it’s sinking. We’re all going to die . No one can escape ..
Maurice grabbed her by the face and demanded, “What do you know? Talk ! ”
From the moment they arrived, the island seemed to be completely cut off from the outside world. Leaving seemed like an impossible task .
Now, the ground beneath them was shaking. It was as if the entire island was on the verge of collapse
Abbie shook her head, her eyes hollow with hopelessness. “This is a cursed land. Those who come can never leave. I heard the villagers say that the island will sink, never to resurface again…….and everyone left on it will die,”
Maurice let go of her in disgust. Was she insane, mumbling such incomprehensible nonsense?
However, before Maurice could speak, the sound of waves could be heard. The group turned their heads just to see a massive, powerful wave rushing at them. It slammed into the island , swallowing everything in its palli.
And in an instant, they were all swept away.
Felicia and her team arrived just as that happened, Unlike Maurice’s
Though Felicia was drenched from the spray , she was unharmed. “Run! Get to higher ground!”
s position, they happened to be standing on high ground when the sudden quake and monstrous wave si
Looking at the darkness in the distance, she gave one of the dazed men a shove. The others quickly snapped out of their daze and sprinted toward the hills.
