Crashed(Completed)

Chapter 9

The next day I spend a few hours down by the water and helped some of the people catch fish. We even caught a few big crabs and cheered. Some of the men filled up the plastic container I found earlier with sea water and we use it to keep the crabs in. Tomorrow a few of them can go further down to catch fish and keep their eyes open for anything. I'm going with Matt and four guys to explore the island a bit more.

I turn around in the water, my mind not on the fishing anymore and looked out over the island where the trees started. We need to find the radio and black box from the plane. Who knows when we would see another plane or even a boat. There will be people searching for us, but what if they look in the wrong direction or call the search off. Maybe they think that everyone died that was on the plane.

We have enough food for now and fresh water, but all of us have families who must be going crazy by now. I think of my dad who must be worried sick, not knowing if I'm alive. He was getting better through therapy I've paid for, after I married Conner. Two days after we got married, Conner came to me and threw a bankcard on the table. I looked at the card, then at him, not sure what the card was for.

He looked at me with a hard look on his face, his eye held no emotion. "This is my end of the bargain. There is a million dollars in the account like you have requested, the rest you will get when you sign the divorce paper in two years time. Although I don't know why you would want the money now, as I'm perfectly capable of taking care of your needs."

Not once have he asked me why I needed the money, but he was quick to accuse me of being a gold digger. He told me to my face that I'm like any other woman who was just after his money and I didn't even correct him that he was the one who actually gave me no choice but to marry him.

Now, while standing in the water, my eyes trailed from the woods to the people. Most of them helped each other around the camp. As my eyes landed on Conner, I saw him watching me. I keep my eyes on him and for a few minutes it felt as if it was only him and me. My body shivers lightly so I look away. I see Matt observing the look between me and Conner and when he sees me watching him, he smiles and waves, so I wave back. Matt looks towards Conner, then burst into laughter. Some of the people looked at him as if he was going crazy, but when I look towards Conner and saw the murderous look on his face, I knew why Matt was so amused.

I hear some shouting from my left, but before I could react, a big wave hits me from behind and I fell face first in the water. For a few seconds I lie there, half dazed, then I hear people shouting my name and I looked up.

"Are you ok," Ben asked me and helped me up. I laugh up at him over my own stupidity to daydream while standing in the ocean and before I could say anything to him, I was pulled away from him by none other than Conner.

"I will help my wife from here, so go away," he says rudely to Ben and to say he was shocked would be an understatement as no one but Matt knows about me and Conner.

I look at Conner telling Ben off and then I got so mad at him and pushed him away. "How dare you interfere in what's happening in my life. I might still be your wife on paper, but remember what you said before we got on this plane, so the hell with you Conner. You have no right to act like the jealous husband. If I want to hang out with another man, you have no say in it. You told me yourself that you never wanted to see my face or Matt's ever again, so while we on this island together, unless you want to swim with the sharks, stay out of my personal life and when we leave the island, we never have to see each other again."

Conner stood there frozen to the spot at my outburst, but I didn't care. I stormed past him and could feel everyone's eyes on me as I walk out of the water. I walk up to Matt and he was standing there with amusement written on his face. "Not funny Matt," I growl out and he starts laughing.
