That night, as the humid and warm sea breeze mingled with the sound of waves on the tropical islands, Charlie found a rare moment of tranquility.

Claire, who was beside him, went to bed early.

As she slept with her back turned to Charlie, he noticed nothing unusual.

The next morning, while Charlie was still asleep, Claire quietly got out of bed.

Though she tried to be silent, Charlie’s instincts quickly kicked in, and he awoke.

After Claire got up, she left the bedroom.

In this water villa, both the bedroom and the living area had a door facing the sea.
