Chapter 36

• BIANCA'S POV
• Travel ban. That was the last thing we had talked about before he disappeared on me, leaving me alone in this big island. For 7 days, I had been here with just a few men and Eleanor. Turns out Eleanor was actually a sweet lady. She was the one who had managed to save me from the boredom that would have consumed me. I had not come on the island with my phone or any gadgets, so I didn't have any idea what was going on outside the island. According to Manuel, the travel ban was supposed to be for just a week, then I'd be able to go home. I had not stopped asking myself why it had to be now of all times. Why so suddenly was a ban implemented, restricting people from coming in and going out of Russia? Manuel had explained that reasons were due to infiltration of some enemy forces into the country. All I knew was that I missed my parents and wanted to be with them. I had never imagined I would miss work so much, but now I did. I missed my boss as well. Atleast, I'm sure Manuel had already informed him that he had taken me. I wondered how my boss had reacted on hearing that. Even Laura. I guess she was worried sick about me. Mila, Amara, and Sarah as well. I felt so sorry for myself.
• I dabbed the little sweat that had broken out on my forehead due to having stayed outside, under the sun for a while now. The sun was harsh today, but the cool breeze coming from the swashing waves of the beach compensated me immensely. Seeing as I had taken more than enough of the beauty I could get from the beach, I began making my way back to the beach house, hoping Manuel was going to show up soon. I really needed him to come and tell me the travel restriction had been lifted, so I could return home.
