I got down on my knees and started begging the man, “Can you please give him a ride? I’ll stay here if you promise to rush him to the hospital! He’s from a wealthy family! As long as you save him, he’s going to bring upon you an abundance of wealth!”
“Stay away from me!” As a result of the man’s brutal kick, I almost fell. I stopped them from leaving and continued begging them to be merciful. I knew they were our only hope of leaving.
All of a sudden, Lyle and Crystal were forced to get off the ship. They had managed to sneak their way up the ship when Lyle concealed his injured leg.
After Crystal was forced to alight from the ship, she started ripping her shirt apart, looking as if she had lost her mind as she yelled, “I’m not hurt! Look! I’m fine! Please let me board the ship! I’m willing to do anything as long as you allow me to board!”
The man’s lust was written all over his face. He asked with a contemptuous look, “Are you going to abandon your husband over there?”
“What are you talking about? We’re not related to one another! We’re merely acquainted after being stranded for such a long time! Please let me board the ship!” Crystal wrapped her arms around the man and snuggled against him with a pitiable front.
The man pinched her ass and instructed with a vicious grin, “Well, hop on board then!”
“Crystal!” Lyle yelled with his eyes brimming in tears, his lips quivering against his will.
Crystal jumped on board without a second thought and announced, “Stop yelling at me! I have no intention to join you in hell! I’m the champion of the upcoming national competition! There’s no way I’m going to die on a deserted island!”
She looked at those on the ship and added, “I’m not as foolish as Yvonne over there! I’ll allow her to join her husband in hell! I’ll do anything it takes as long as you give me a ride!”
Lyle went dead silent when he heard the woman’s remarks. I had never seen him being as despair as such throughout the years. It felt as if Crystal’s statement was the last straw that broke the camel’s back.
“Your friend over here has made the right choice. What about you? Have you made up your mind?” The scrawny man crouched in front of me and ran his blade across my hand gently.
“Can you please save him? As long as you save him, I’m willing to do everything and anything!” I continued begging with a hoarse voice in an attempt to gain their sympathy. He shrugged me off and announced in a callous tone, “Stop wasting our time! I’ll give you another minute to make up your mind!”
All of a sudden, the first man to be denied onboard jumped on the ship and yelled, “Stay out of my way! I have no intention to die just yet!”
He forced his way through those guarding the ship and made his way to the dock, announcing with a proud grin, “I have finally made it on board! I’m going to make it out alive!”
Seconds after we heard a deafening bang, the man with a proud grin stared at the wound on his chest and started leaning forward. In the end, he collapsed in front of me.
It was then I found out they would never allow those with injuries to board their ship. Immediately after they got themselves ready, they departed with those onboard.
Once again, the ship disappeared under the horizon of the sea, leaving the three of us behind — we were doomed.
