Chapter 17 - Betrayed, Yet Bound To The Billionaire by Grace Madeline

Chapter 18 Sophia raised auueyebrow , clearly unconvinced Vintre just saying the winds gonna på k up bchecked the weather larfore I came here .

My brother even called the weather bureau to double check .

They said clear skies for the next two werks not a storm , tis parilajtakes , nothing .

Its about as safe as it gets She pulled out her phone and handed it so Kermy , Look , heres the confirmation from the weather bureau As she spoke , she angled the phone so the cameraman could catch the screen , making sure everyone saw the info .

Kenny glanced at it , then cleared his throat , Well , if the weather bureau says everythings fine , then it should be .

Hat if Odalys feels somethings off we should stay aleit better sale than sorry He turned to the crew and called out , Alright , everyone , stay sharp .

If the weather changes , we need to be ready .

We cant take any chances ? Sophias grip on her phone tightened .

She thought calling our Odalys would embarrass her and make Sophia look good in front of everyone .

But instead of getting flustered .

Odalys stayel çal colin , and Kenny actually took her seriously .

That was enough to make Sophia absolutely livi Her fists clenched , but with the cameras rolling , she forced a take smile , Yeah , being cautious is never a bad thing She reached out to grab Odalys arm , but Odalys just turned and walked away without a second glance , leaving Sophia hanging.

Her eyes burned with irritation as she watched Odalys walk off .

Meanwhile , the live stream was blowing up with comments .

[ Whats Odalys doing ? Is she ignoring Sophia on purpose ! ) JAC list actress acting all high and mighty ! Gross No wonder she doesnt even have a Twitter .

Shes probably too scared of gening roasted by trolls .

] [ Honestly , island weather is unpredictable .

Sophias right to be cautious .

Better safe than sorry .

Im with Odalys on this onel ] Kenny glanced at the live comments , then up at the sky , thinking .

If the weather does turn , thatd actually work in our favor .

A little drama means mote views .

Just as long as no one dies , of course .

He kept that to himself , though didnt need anyone hearing that Not far off , Freya waved at Odalys , who was coming off the boat .

Odalys Over here ! Selah stepped forward , eager to help .

Freya , let me grals that for you Freya smiled , waving her off .

Its fine , really .

I dont have much .

I got it .

Stellan followed quietly behind , carrying his own things Odalys , effortlessly carrying her bag and pulling her suitcase , walked off the boat like it was nothing In contrast , Sophia was taking tiny steps , carefully followed by Atlas , who was higging her bags , and Finnian , who was holding her makeup bag .

slow down Atlas warned , making sure she didnt trip on her heels .

Sophia strutted down the ramp , practically gliding with Atlas and Finnlan in tow .

Lucian followed behind , bolding her Louis Vuitton bag like it like it was the crown jewels .

Her luggage was a mountain compared to Odalys simple , light packing .

The live chat was going wild .

Some people were mucking Sophia for how extra she was with her baggage , others were jealous of the two guys doting .

on her But as soon as the boat docked , their phones lost signal .

They had no idea what the fans were saying .

Only the crew could see the flood of Kenny followed closely behind , stopping and raising his hand , as if he were making some kind of grand proclamation .

He said .

Alright , listen up , people ! Heres the deal .

Youre gonna be split into two teams of four .

From this point on , youll be living on the island on your own .

Surviving Thats on you .

No help from the production team .

Youve got your brains and your guts thats all youve got to rely on 1/2 2/2 Chapter 18 of yourselves .

The camera crew will be with you , but no matter what shit goes down , were stay were staying neutral .

Were not Odalys brought up the poubling of wind Even though the weather forecast says its all clear , stay sharp Safety first , alright ? kicking of this challenge now ! From this mome moment on your phones are useless .

You wont be able to internal network set up .

Ive created a group chat , so if you need anything , hit us up there .

bed speaking , the crew scattered , moving off to the vide band , stamed trekking down the mouth path leading further into the island .

The path was decent at first , but it quickly became mething straight out of a jungle .

island ? This looks like a damn jungle ! No sign of any development here .

Allas said , his voice filled with disbelief am hadnt sold anyone which island they were on .

Everyone thought it would be some luxury resort , but the scene before them was anything but a vacation spot .

A chill ran down their spines .

sads practically gone ? was rapidly slipping THE the hell are we supposed to get through this Sophia asked , looking around in confusion .

Her earlier composure being adopted by the Bennett family , shed been pampered and had never really experienced hardship .

Even on set , there was always locking out for her id untamed jungle , she instinctively pulled herself in visibly freaked out .

Everyone , throw on your jacket Were gonna get eaten alive by mosquitoes , Odalys said quietly , already putting on a sun protection jacket she had prepared .

Freya and Selah followed suit , quickly pulling out their jackets , and Stellan did the same , dressing quickly , Is this really necessary ? Fan Lark muttered to himself , frustration seeping into his tone .

Odalys hadnt looked at him once all day .

It was like they were strangers .

He couldnt forget the slap shed given him the night before it still pissed Shed embarred him on purpose , and if he hadnt been quick enough , his scandal wouldve been all over the media .

On the boat , hed taken photos of Sophi on purpose , deliberately getting close to her to get a rise out of Odalys .

He expected her to get jealous and confront him , but she didnt say a damn word .

Two hours later , she was still stone cold silent .

He felt off , but ith the cameras rolling , he just had to suck it up .

If the wind picks up tonight , we need to find a place to camp ASAP Odalys warned , her voice low .

If we dont , were gonna be in deep shit .

Freya quickly leaned noward her , whispering , Wind ! We better get a move on , then if the waves come in , we might get dragged out to sear Yeah , Jers head deeper into the island , Stellan agreed , nodding quickly .

Get away from the shore .

Selah instinctively glanced over at Lurian , but he was looking anywhere but at her .

He was focused on Sophia , and then said , Miss Bennett , why dont you wear my jacket ? He handed it over with a polite smile , the kind that made it clear he wasnt exactly doing it out of charity
