Chapter 289
In the live chat, the room was buzzing with excitement.
[Aww, I can't bear to see this. Come to me, little cutie.]
[This guy looks like a pro at this. Who wouldn't be smitten by that pout?]
[I need a guy like him, now, immediately! I'm feeling extra needy!]
Right then, a voice crackled through the speakers along the path.
"Welcome, everyone, to Devil Island. This is an untouched, pristine island. Starting now, our guests will be living here for a week, trying to find their romantic match. Every night at 8, we'll have a heart-flutter vote. If a pair of guests votes for each other, they'll be considered a successful match and will be sent to the neighboring Angel Island for a dreamy, romantic date.
"Of course, the next morning, the matched guests will return to Devil Island to start a new day of romantic adventures. The heart-flutter vote will continue each evening. Guests can choose different partners every day until they find their true love.
"By the end of the week, if a pair voluntarily matches, they can become a real couple and split a grand prize of 50 million dollars, courtesy of the production team.
"We encourage all guests to seek out their ideal partners and fully express their feelings of affection and love. We hope everyone finds their true love here! Bye."
The mechanical voice abruptly cut off, leaving the guests in stunned silence.
Faith broke the silence, "What kind of show is this? I thought we were on a vacation!"
Next to her, Juztin, sporting sunglasses, nodded in agreement. "Yeah, same here. They told me it was a vacation-themed show."
Barrett, on the other hand, looked intrigued. "This is getting interesting."
Kalilah pouted, "Barrett, what's so interesting about it? They're basically forcing us to fall in love."
Barrett flashed her a grin. "What are you complaining about? You wouldn't lose out on falling in love with anyone here."
Kalilah, slightly embarrassed, huffed, "Hmph, I wouldn't want to be with you."
But deep down, Kalilah was quite pleased. She had inside information that this show was featuring top-tier celebrities. Although publicly announced as an island
vacation-themed show, she knel
it
was actually a dating show. She had spent a lot of money to get in touch with the assistant director
responsible for selecting guests.
Barrett wasn't wrong. Falling in love with anyone here would be a win for her, except for Pax.
Among the male guests were a
movie star and the King of Eldridge. Even Barrett, known as the most handsome man in historical dramas, is a top-tier actor with high popularity. But where did Pax-come from? He was just a regular French exchange student and a model who hadn't made it big.
Of course, Kalilah's favorite was the King of Eldridge. Just he didn't seem like the easygoing type. However, Kalilah was 'confident she could win him over. Over the years, she had conquered many with her pure and innocent image. She had dealt with people who were tougher at the start but fell at her feet in the end. Kalilah was eager to try.
Diana, looking somewhat worried, asked, "Do we really have to fall in love? What happens if we don't?"
It seemed the production team heard her question because the mechanical voice came through the speakers again.
"Guests who do not successfully pair up will have to stay on Devil Island and survive. Just a friendly reminder, resources are scarce on Devil Island, and guests will have to fend for themselves. Pfft."Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.

[That 'pfft' was something else. I seriously think that mechanical voice is Ruben, and he's definitely enjoying this.]
