That night, Olivia tossed and turned in bed.

She had been on the island for five days and had already explored it thoroughly. She had left no stone unturned.

Dozens of plans for escape appeared in her mind as she looked at the endless horizon. But none of them would actually work.

Based on her calculations, she would survive around three to five days.

The ocean was highly unpredictable. It could be clear skies one moment and a storm the next. Danger could spring up at any moment when out at sea.

In her current situation, she could only build a raft and didn't know if there were any other islands nearby.

It would be dangerous for her to attempt an escape.

Wayne put her on the island. Naturally, he knew she was going to try to escape. It wouldn't be so easy for her to succeed.

Since the only other option for her was to die out at sea, she decided to stay for the time being. But she didn't know how long she would have to stay on the island. What was Wayne plotting? Would he threaten Mason with her?

Wayne left the island on the third day.

Only Olivia and some housekeepers were left on the island, but they had orders from Wayne not to talk with her.

Every time Olivia tried to approach anyone, they would run away before she could get close.

People would drop off food from a helicopter every three days. The helicopters would never land to prevent her from escaping.

Olivia propped her face up with both her hands as she sat by the beach and looked at the helicopter that was coming to drop off food.

There was no way for her to get close to the helicopter.

There was only one week left until New Year. She promised to spend the day with the kids. She had everything planned.

They would bake cookies together and watch some movies at night. Then, she'll give them some presents to make up for all the presents they missed out on.

At the moment, it seemed like Wayne wouldn't be giving her the opportunity to do so. The reason he dropped her at the island and left her alone was to train her willpower. He also wanted to make her grow distant from her family.

If she was alone for long enough, her mental state and rationality would change a lot. Wayne wanted her to put her past behind her with time.

So, she would become a woman that would submit to him.

But he had underestimated Olivia. She had fought against cancer for many years. It had trained her to have great mental fortitude.

She was very disciplined. Every day, she would go for a morning jog, work out, and arrange different tasks to keep herself occupied. She would read, write, paint, and scavenge for herbs.

Then, she would also go to the shooting range to practice every evening before heading back to her room to knit sweaters.

Olivia started to calm down after five more days had passed.

She believed that Ethan and Mason would realize that something was fishy. After all, there were too many coincidences leading to her death. The kids were safe with Ethan and Mason. There was nothing she needed to worry about.

She didn't believe that Wayne could hold her here for too long.

She was waiting it out, waiting for him to give up.

The days passed quickly on the island.

Olivia went to the mountains and picked some herbs to dry. Then, she would ground them into powder.

She prepared these just in case she would need some medicine.

She also brought back a lot of roses that she planned to use to make some tea the next day.

Her every move was reported to Wayne, who was in Raka.

"Since you left, she has been keeping herself busy," Alan reported the information he received.

"Busy? What is she busy with? Cursing me?"

Alan muttered inwardly, "So, you do know how she feels about you."
