The morning sun stretched its golden fingers across the island, but Leia's heart was still tangled in uncertainty. Standing at the top of that quiet hill, she scratched her head, completely unsure of what to do next. The weight of the previous night's decision pressed heavily on her shoulders — she had chosen to sit beside Skylar, hoping that her presence there could somehow mediate the unspoken war between Santiago and Xavier. But the choice had only blurred the lines, and now she was caught between two very different futures.
Santiago stood beside her, patient and gentle, refusing to add more pressure to her already messy heart.
"There's no rush," he said softly, his voice steady like an anchor in a storm. "We have time. I know you wanted to mediate the conflict between Xavier and I when you chose Skylar last night, but I hope you'll follow your heart and pick the one you want tonight."
His words weren't a demand. They weren't manipulation. They were an invitation — an invitation to choose honesty over comfort, clarity over confusion. Santiago had always been that way. He didn't believe in vague relationships or lukewarm promises. If Leia wanted to be with him, he wanted her to be proud to stand beside him in the open. And honestly? He wasn't sure how much longer Leia could withstand Xavier's dangerously charming flirtations. That man was unpredictable, passionate, and stubborn — a storm dressed in a tailored suit.
Leia looked into Santiago's eyes and felt that rare warmth she had been craving all along. Safety. Peace. Stability. After everything she had been through, she knew she no longer wanted to be on a roller-coaster ride of emotional highs and terrifying crashes.
"Okay," she nodded firmly, her voice now carrying a quiet strength. "I'll follow my heart tonight and won't waver again."
For the first time in days, she felt sure.

But while Leia was making promises on the hilltop, Xavier was already awake and busy stirring chaos back at camp. With the most points in his pocket, he had confidently traded his dwelling for Leia's house — and he had big plans.
He had already moved his luggage into her large, beautiful villa, a comfortable two-story space with four bedrooms facing the sea. In his mind, it was practically a done deal. He would graciously allow Leia to stay in one of the rooms, and they could live under the same roof, sharing breathtaking ocean views and more than a few awkward breakfast encounters. The very idea made him grin like a boy with a secret.
Until he saw them.
Leia and Santiago strolled down the hill together, both slightly sweaty, both glowing with the kind of comfortable happiness that came from shared morning exercise. They were chatting like old friends, like two people who had discovered the joy of simply existing in the same moment. Seeing that, Xavier's grin instantly vanished.
His jaw tightened as he scowled, his voice laced with sharp suspicion. "Where did you guys go?"
Leia's expression turned cold. "That's none of your business, is it?"
It should have ended there. A normal person would have backed off. But Xavier was never a normal person when it came to Leia. He smirked, rubbing his chin like a villain who had pulled out his ultimate weapon.
"Fine, be that way. I was just wondering if I should give you a room in this villa, but now..." His voice trailed off, eyes glinting with mischief.
Leia blinked. Then, to his utter shock, she laughed — not out of frustration, but genuinely amused. "Are you a child? I don't mind the cottage since I'll only be staying there for a few days. After all, it has a nice view of the sky."
That shrug cut deeper than any sharp retort. Xavier's confidence evaporated like mist under the sun. He had tried to use the villa as a bargaining chip, only to discover that Leia didn't care about material comforts. She wasn't impressed by his games. She wasn't going to beg for a roof over her head on his terms.
Desperate and annoyed, he decided to pivot. A wicked smirk crept back onto his face as he said lightly, "That's true. To be honest, I can't bear to give that cottage up because that was where we laid in bed and watched the stars together. It was pretty romantic."
Boom. There it was. A direct hit meant to stir old memories and plant seeds of jealousy.
Leia's jaw dropped. She quickly glanced at Santiago with a guilty expression, as if she'd been caught in a guilty secret. But her heart raced with irritation — Xavier had no right to bring up that memory, not now, not like this.
However, Santiago's reaction was not what Xavier expected. Instead of getting angry or showing insecurity, Santiago simply smiled. That calm, protective smile — the kind that said "I trust her, and I'm not threatened by your cheap tricks." He reached out and gently touched Leia's hair, stroking it softly as if to wipe away her guilt.
"Come on," he murmured, his voice warm and unshaken. "Let's go have breakfast before we go snorkeling. I heard that it's beautiful under the sea, and I hope that we can enjoy it together."
Their eyes locked. In that moment, Xavier wasn't standing between them anymore. He wasn't in the picture at all. Santiago had chosen to rise above the childish games, while Xavier had just revealed his own hand — a hand full of weak, desperate cards.
The two walked off together, leaving Xavier standing alone in front of a villa he had fought so hard to occupy. He had won the right to live in her home, but he had lost something far more precious — her attention.

Oh my goodness. This chapter was absolutely gripping. The contrast between Santiago's mature, quiet certainty and Xavier's impulsive, possessive tactics is written brilliantly. Santiago didn't have to yell or fight for Leia. He just stayed calm, trusted her, and invited her into that beautiful, peaceful moment underwater. It speaks volumes. While Xavier is trying to win by making her uncomfortable with old memories, Santiago is winning by giving her space and offering new ones. Leia clearly deserves someone who brings peace instead of chaos, and I'm so proud of her for deciding to follow her heart. The tension between these two men is reaching a boiling point, and I loved every single second of this chapter. It was emotionally rich, layered, and beautifully paced.
⭐️ Rating: 4.9 / 5 Stars

What an ending! Leia has promised to follow her heart, Santiago has invited her to snorkel together in paradise — while Xavier is left behind in a miserable cloud of jealousy. But we all know Xavier Knight doesn't give up that easily. In the next chapter, he will probably do something dramatic to disrupt their happy moment underwater or try to separate them with another manipulative scheme. Perhaps he will even bring up shared history, family pressure, or last night's intimacy to twist Leia's emotions again. The question is: will Leia's newly swearing heart be strong enough to resist him when the sun sets and the truth comes out?
