Stuck in an Island with Twelve Beautiful Women
Chapter 561 - 563

Sophie experienced an eerie sense of deja vu as the group gathered to approach Jude at the shores where he was diligently checking his traps for fish. The familiar setting stirred memories of the past, reminiscent of the time when the twelve women had come together to make a life-altering decision to marry him.

As they all lined up on the sandy shore, the sound of crashing waves served as a backdrop to the weighty conversation that was about to unfold. Jude turned towards them, his expression a mix of curiosity and apprehension, as he sensed the gravity of the moment.

One by one, each person present shared the collective decision they had reached, the words hanging in the air with a sense of inevitability. The significance of this moment was not lost on anyone, as emotions ran high and the bonds between them were tested once again.

Against the backdrop of the shimmering sea and the cries of circling seagulls, the echoes of the past intertwined with the present, creating a haunting parallel that seemed to blur the lines between then and now. Sophie, in particular, felt a sense of foreboding as she grappled with the implications of their decision and the eerie familiarity of it all.

As the conversation stretched into the evening, the sun setting in a blaze of colors beyond the horizon, one thing was clear - the echoes of the past would continue to reverberate through their present, shaping their futures in ways they could scarcely imagine.

Jude gazed at the group with a knowing smile, his expression a mix of warmth and understanding, as if he had anticipated their request long before it was voiced. Despite the gravity of their proposal, he gently shook his head in refusal, a sense of unwavering determination in his eyes.

With a calm yet resolute tone, he addressed them, his words carrying a weight of unwavering commitment and integrity. "I appreciate your concern, but I assure you that I will extend the same level of care, devotion, and protection to Nefertari as I do to my eleven wives," Jude stated firmly, his voice resonating with a deep sense of sincerity.

His words seemed to hang in the air, bridging the gap between expectation and reality. The group looked on, a mixture of surprise and admiration coloring their expressions as they absorbed Jude's unwavering declaration.

The sincerity in Jude's pledge served as a testament to his character, reaffirming the trust and respect he had earned from those around him. As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting a warm glow over the shore, a sense of unity and understanding settled among them, binding them together in a shared moment of acceptance and mutual respect.

The echoes of their encounter lingered in the salty sea breeze, carrying with them a newfound sense of trust and camaraderie that would shape their future interactions and decisions.

In the wake of Layla's tragic demise, the once vibrant hues of Jude's world seemed to fade into muted tones of sorrow and longing. Each passing day became a solemn reminder of the irreplaceable void left by her departure. Despite the passage of time, the ache in his heart remained ever-present, a silent testament to the depth of their connection.

Amidst the somber shroud of grief, Jude found solace in the presence of Nefertari, a woman whose ethereal beauty and unwavering kindness cast a gentle ray of light upon his darkened path. Yet, as their bond blossomed into something more profound, a nagging sense of guilt began to gnaw at Jude's conscience.

Marrying Nefertari felt like an attempt to fill the void left by Layla's absence, a feeble effort to mend a shattered heart. Despite the genuine affection he held for Nefertari, Jude couldn't shake the feeling that he was betraying Layla's memory by moving on so quickly.

In a moment of raw vulnerability, Jude bared his soul to Nefertari, confessing the conflicting emotions that waged war within him. He spoke of his undying love for Layla, a love that transcended the boundaries of time and space. And yet, he couldn't deny the growing affection he felt for Nefertari, a love that bloomed amidst the ashes of his grief.

To his surprise, Nefertari listened with a patient understanding that surpassed his wildest expectations. With a gentle touch, she brushed away his tears and offered him a reassuring smile. "I understand, Jude," she murmured softly, her voice a soothing balm to his troubled soul. "But love knows no bounds, not even those of time itself."

As they stood there, entwined in each other's embrace, Jude couldn't help but wonder about the cruel twist of fate that had brought them together. Nefertari, a woman out of time, destined to return to her own era once their fleeting moment in history had passed.

It was a harsh reality that Jude couldn't ignore, a painful reminder of the transience of their love. And yet, in the midst of his sorrow, he found a glimmer of hope, a hope that their love, though bound by the constraints of time, would endure long after they had parted ways.

With a heavy heart, Jude made a solemn vow to cherish every moment they shared, to hold onto their love with an unwavering resolve. For even though their time together was fleeting, the memories they created would remain etched in his heart for all eternity.

And so, amidst the backdrop of loss and longing, Jude and Nefertari embarked on a journey fraught with uncertainty, their love a beacon of light in the darkness that threatened to consume them. And though their paths may diverge in the end, their love would forever bind them together, transcending the boundaries of time and space.

Jude knew that even though Nefertari agreed to marry him, it was not for the right reasons. Jude knows she loves him but a mother's heart will always beat for her child. That is why he refuse to marry her.

Besides Jude started to realize that the zombie apocalypse and other threats are not real. He didn't know why he felt that but he understood there is no need for him to save the species anymore…
