Chapter 59. A Boat Trip Together

Among all of the fancy dresses she owned inside her new wardrobe, her eyes kept stealing a glance at the one with the most elegant color for traveling. It was a turquoise sleeveless lace dress.
As she took out the dress from her private wardrobe, she quickly approached the standing mirror. For a moment, she stared at her reflection while putting the dress on her body.
The corner of her lips turned upward. “Hmm, this dress looks nice.”
She had never worn a very pretty dress like this one. Of course, she felt so overwhelmed about it. Especially her husband insisted to buy her more sparkling dresses in the future.
As soon as she changed her clothes, she was ready to take on a new adventure with her husband.
When she remembered what Daniel told her earlier, she instinctively imagined herself getting into the luxury boat with him. Daniel said there was a private room in his new boat. Her stomach instantly felt tickled by just imagining the happy scenario with him. They were about to spend quality time together again.
She hoped she could relive the same day over and over again. But she knew sooner or later, she had to come back to the real world. She had to meet her parents, her aunt, her college life. And her marriage life with Daniel would be just like another fairytale dream until she would graduate from college.
Nevertheless, on that sunny afternoon, Sienna was settled to appear fancy with the dress. And she was ready to go traveling with her husband on a boat trip.
Just like what Daniel had suggested to her, Sienna only bought a medium bag. She brought one spare clothes and some girl stuff with her. And the last thing, she had to keep the money safely in there.
Thereafter, she went downstairs to meet Daniel, who had been waiting patiently for her.
When her sandal made a little noise on the staircase, everyone in the foyer instantly looked in her direction. The first one that looked at her was Daniel.
For a second, he gawked while watching her walking down the staircase. When she noticed how he was gazing so passionately at her, Sienna felt shy. She stared down while walking toward them. She didn’t dare to look back at him while everyone was also watching.
As soon as Sienna approached them, Daniel thrusted his hand to her and said, “Are you ready for the trip, Baby?”
She smiled and nodded at him. “Yes, I am.”
Thereafter, Daniel gave his bodyguards an order to prepare the car. And soon, they went to the terrace as they obeyed his order.
When Daniel turned to see his wife again, he suddenly hugged her and whispered in her ear, “You look stunning, Baby. You make me in love with you all over again.”
She tickled by his breath in her ear. But she also giggled because he confessed his love again to her after they both had just got married.
“I love you too,” she murmured.
After he kissed her cheek, he led her to walk to the terrace.
Then she got inside his black sedan car. This time, Daniel didn’t drive his own car. Instead, his personal bodyguard would drive the car for them.
As soon as Sienna sat on the passenger’s seat with Daniel, her heart pounded with excitement.
***
Sienna had agreed to travel on a boat trip with Daniel on that sunny afternoon. He said he wanted to show her his new luxury boat. She wondered how it would look like. She had imagined the boat would be bigger than the last one.
However, Daniel didn’t say that they would visit the Wilson Paradise Island though. He just wanted to travel around the island. And she agreed to enjoy the island view with him.
It was like she almost totally forgot about the money ransom which that crazy stranger had asked her during the lunch break. And when she just remembered again, her heart pounded restlessly.
She kept on stealing a glance at Daniel and his bodyguard during the car trip. She was anxious about this problem that she couldn’t tell anyone. She was scared all alone.
Soon after, the car arrived in a desolate parking lot, which was located just a few meters away from the port bridge. When she observed her surrounding, she noticed that Daniel brought six bodyguards with him, including the two muscular men here in the car.
As soon as the two bodyguards got out of the car, Sienna asked Daniel, “Baby, are all of your bodyguards will come along with us on a boat?”
Daniel grinned and said, “Yes, Baby. Is there a problem?”
She quickly shook her head and replied, “Oh, not at all. But you didn’t bring anyone the last time we visited the island.”
He chuckled as his hand was ready to open the car door. Then he murmured, “You’ll see why I need my men to come along on our boat trip this time.”
Sienna blinked bewilderingly. She wondered why.
Afterward, Daniel opened the car door and got out. Before he would approach her side, she independently opened her own door. When he came, he thrusted his hand to her. Sienna immediately grabbed his hand and walked with him toward the port bridge.
While his bodyguard was following beside them, her eyes looked around carefully.
But when she started to see the shadow sometimes popping out between the wild shrubs, she wondered who was that. She kept getting a bad feeling about something. Maybe because she suddenly remembered that crazy stranger who called her earlier.
Then she quickly told Daniel about her restless feeling, “Daniel, I think we are being followed by someone.”
His eyes immediately looked alert when she told him. And then instinctively, Daniel looked around the environment here. Then he turned to her and muttered, “Are you sure, Baby?”
She shrugged her shoulders. “I’m not sure. Maybe I’m just feeling a little bit paranoid. I keep seeing something moving behind the shrubs.”
Daniel immediately looked at the shrubs which she mentioned. He was being so wide awake of his surroundings. He didn’t take what she said lightly. He did listen to her concern.
Soon after, he ordered his men to look around if something might look suspicious. His men immediately obeyed him and started to watch around carefully.
Once they arrived at the port bridge, there were two boats. One the old small boat and the other was the bigger one.
When she noticed the new boat that Daniel had been talking about, she gasped the air surprisingly. And then she turned to see him and grinned, “Oh, my God! Is this the new boat that you told me about? It looks so damn luxurious!”
“All for the best, Baby,” he murmured as he kissed her forehead. “I want us both to feel comfortable while having this trip.”
Afterward, he helped her to get inside the boat. And his bodyguard followed behind.
As soon as Sienna stepped inside, she leaned down on the railing. For a second, she took a deep breath, trying to enjoy the air out here.
“I have a surprise for you,” Daniel told her.
She narrowed her eyebrows bafflingly at him. “What? Again? Another surprise?”
He chuckled, amused.
“Oh, come on, Daniel! Don’t you think you have giving me enough?” Sienna muttered.
“I will never feel enough to give you with many things,” Daniel murmured. “I will even surrender my soul for you.”
“Oh, you’re such a drunkard love!” Sienna exclaimed while giggling.
“Yes, I am a drunkard love,” he giggled along with her.
And soon, he ordered one of his bodyguards to get him something from the private room.
Sienna noticed the room which Daniel was talking about as well. It was built in the middle of the boat. It didn’t look too big, but not too small either. That room had a wide glass window, veiled with a cream curtain.
His bodyguard returned while bringing a silver tray of two glasses and a bottle of wine. Then Daniel immediately poured that premium white wine into the glasses. He gave one to her.
“Cheer to our second honeymoon,” he grinned while raising the glass to her.
Then she tossed the glass to his glass. “Let’s drink to that.”
However, what Daniel didn’t know at all, was simply would make him feeling flustered. Sienna secretly brought the money with her. She had to do it, in case that crazy stranger would appear out of thin air somewhere.
She didn’t know if the guy who called on her phone earlier would be following her down to this boat anyway. She just wanted to be ready. She didn’t want to cause a scene. She wanted to protect Daniel. She didn’t want to be a weak person this time.
And at least, bringing the money with her was the best thing she could do. And she hoped Daniel would never find out about her plan at all.
Sienna just wanted to live peacefully.
