The Mysterious Billionaire and His Substitute Bride

With great difficulty, Janet peeled her eyes open.

She was still alive!

When the storm came, she was swept away by a huge wave. Fortunately, the wave took her to a nearby reef, where she passed out.

When she tried to get up from the reef, she found that she couldn’t. Some water rushed into her nose. She coughed violently and spat out the seawater.

The reef was isolated from the sea, and only a fraction of the road could be seen in the distance.

Janet climbed to the center of the reef and tried to regroup. The reef was quite large, so she could temporarily settle here. But there was no food nor water here. If no one came to her rescue, she would undoubtedly starve to death, if dehydration didn’t take her life first.

Janet reached into her pocket and her heart sank. Her phone was in her bag, and her bag was in the car, and the car was in the bottom of the sea. There was nothing she could do to seek for help.

Squatting on the reef, she looked to the distance with expectant eyes. She had no choice but to hope and pray that boats passing by would see her.
