Sam’s eyes widened as he gritted his teeth. “What did you see me write?”

He had been talking all day long about his dream to be a great photographer in the future. Everyone in the magazine agency knew about it. So what did she need to peek for?

“I didn’t peek.” Afraid that he wouldn’t believe her, she continued to say, “Everyone in the magazine agency knows what your wish is.”

Sam felt a little embarrassed and scratched his head. “Don’t tell them that we had already come here to make a wish. You mustn’t tell them. Otherwise, they’ll make fun of me again.”

“It depends on my mood,” said Serenity teasingly.

Sam’s face turned pale.

The wind started to pick up, and the red wishes on the branches started to dance wildly. Serenity looked up at the sky and noticed the gathering dark clouds. “1 think it’s time we meet back with the rest.”

“What’s the hurry? We-”

A loud boom followed a bright bolt of lightning, cutting off Sam’s words. The two looked at each other, knowing what they were both thinking.

“Let’s go!” Sam growled. “We need to get back to the group!”

The two returned the way they came but within just a few minutes, the cloudy weather had painted the sky black as bean-sized water droplets fell sparsely. In less than half a minute, it was pouring.

Their clothes became drenched and the road was slippery and unsteady. In addition, the rain was so heavy they could not open their eyes or see the path ahead. Serenity almost fell a few times. Fortunately, Sam caught her in time.

Back at camp, Gabriel was watching the dark weather and his chest started to fill with anxious anger.

Ms. Lewis saw the change in Gabriel’s expression and started calling Sam, but his phone was switched off.

When it was about to rain at the top of the mountain, Ms. Lewis and the others suggested that they go down the mountain first. Gabriel refused and insisted on looking for Serenity.

Ms. Lewis had her colleagues leave as she and Gabriel went to look for Serenity and Sam. They looked everywhere but could not find any traces of the two. Ms. Lewis sprained her ankle due to the unstable ground, so Gabriel had no choice but to send her down the mountain first.

“President Jones, the weather station has issued a temporary warning. This heavy rain may cause landslides and mudflows,” said a staff member from the resort who called in.

Gabriel and the rest were dismayed.

Though his clothes were already drenched, he did not feel anything. He simply kept staring at the pouring rain outside. “Is there still no news?”

The person in charge of the resort, Mr. Shiloh, held a walkie-talkie and contacted the search party for Serenity and Sam. A response buzzed back and the manager relayed it to the team. “No.”

Another bolt of lightning flashed, almost as if it would split the sky in half. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“President Jones, please change into dry clothes.” Mr. Shiloh asked someone to bring him a set of clothes.

But Gabriel remained frozen in his position, lips pursed thin and fists clenched tightly. A puddle of the water dripping from his clothes had already formed around his feet.

Ms. Lewis was seated due to her sprained ankle. With Mr. Shiloh’s jacket draped over her shoulders, she watched Gabriel and said, “President Jones, Serenity is with Sam. They should be fine.”

“I won’t let this go if anything happens to her!” His cold tone suppressed his ruthless anger.

Ms. Lewis, Mr. Shiloh, and the others were so frightened by his sudden threat that they trembled.

An entire hour had passed, but there was still no news of Serenity and Sam from the search party. Gabriel’s ruthlessness became more obvious as his stern jaw tensed up..
