The Satan CEO's Woman: He Unexpectedly Fell in Love with Her

Chapter 164 - 164: Enemies Bound To Meet

Nathan smiled as he watched her taking pictures of the beautiful sunrise.

After she had fulfilled her wish of witnessing the sunrise together with him, Nathan let her to continue walking along the shore line.

"So, what's your plan with Mr. Andrew Johnson?" Kim Eunji suddenly asked him which made Nathan to pause on his steps.

"Well, I'll keep an eye on him. If our suspicion is true, then...he was indeed related to some of assassination attempts towards me." Nathan expressed his thoughts.

"I still couldn't believe he was such a manipulative and cunning old man." Kim Eunji expressed her disbelief towards Andrew Johnson.

If her theory was right, he was manipulating Nathan to stay on the family by scaring him with those assassination attempts.

He wanted Nathan to believe that only the Johnson family could protect him from danger and harm.

However, he underestimated Nathan's capabilities and will to make his own decisions.

Also, Nathan was somehow sure that on the countless assassination attempts that he had encountered over the years, they were not all done by him.

There were people aiming for his head with the motive of crippling the Johnson family and ousting them from power.

"Is it really okay that you just decided to leave the Johnson family as you wish? Aren't they going to come after you? Will your life be in danger?" Kim Eunji could not help not to bombard him with a barrage of questions.

Nathan understood why she was like this though. She was worried for him.

"Don't worry. I'll be fine. There's no such thing as complications and the likes." Nathan reassured her.

However, deep inside, he lied. There's a price he had to pay for leaving the Johnsons.

The good thing was that, it's manageable.

"Sorry." She then apologized to him.

"Silly. Don't say sorry to me. I would feel the same way too if you're in the same situation." He said as he lovingly pinched her cheeks and kissed her nose down to her lips.

The fishermen together with their wives could not help not to cheer the couple making Nathan to chuckle as Kim Eunji's face and ears had turned beet red in embarrassment.

Nathan even teased her more and even tickled her in front of everyone making her to yelp in surprise.

"Ah!"

Nathan's chuckle was like a beautiful melody in her ear.

"Hubby!" Kim Eunji warned him to stop however, Nathan didn't listen to her and continued on tickling her.

"Hahahahha! Stop! Please!" She pleaded as she felt like she was losing her breath because of Nathan's continues tickling.

Kim Eunji had no other choice but to sit on the sand and hugged herself so Nathan won't be able to touch her sensitive side.

Seeing her position, Nathan was about to ask if she's okay.

However, she didn't answer him and decided to ignore him instead. Without any words coming from her mouth, she stood up and walked away.

Nathan was taken aback and could not help but ask as to where it went wrong.

"Naku iho! Nasobrahan mo ata!" (Young man! Seems like you went overboard!) One fishermen who was carrying the nets to the shore shouted at him.

"Suyo-in mo na!" (Go and coax her!) His fellow fishermen seconded.

"Salamat po!" Nathan politely answered them as he run to chase on his wife who was walking fast like the wind.

He didn't know what they were talking about but it was better to say 'thank you' to them than ignore their efforts to communicate with him with their own ways.

Before he could even reach her, she puked on the sand.

Since she had not eaten any meal yet, she only vomited saliva.

Nathan then handed her a handkerchief to wipe her mouth since he had not carried a bottle of water with him.

"So...you're not mad at me?" Nathan asked her.

"Why should I be mad at you?" Kim Eunji answered him with a question.

"Nothing...I'm just making sure. You know...double checking." Nathan shrugged his shoulder as he lovingly looked at her and tucked the stray hair behind her ears.

The next second, Kim Eunji was lost in taking pictures.

She even asked the few fishermen who were still by the shore to pose for her.

Kim Eunji could not explain how their warm smiles as they paused for the camera had affected her mood.

"Thank you!" She politely thanked them and waved their goodbyes.

They even invited them to have breakfast with them but Kim Eunji and Nathan declined them because they know how Kim Eunji would react with food around her.

Nathan and Eunji didn't realize that they had reached the end of the island and decided to go back. They have been walking for almost an hour now and Kim Eunji felt a little tired.

While they were on their way, they met some of the foreign tourists who were staying overnight on the nearby resort.

They were having a morning walk, too.

Some of them were couples who were probably spending their honeymoon in this island.

One of the couples present was an interracial couple where in the man was a foreigner and probably his wife was either a Filipina or a woman from other Asian country.

"Good morning mate!" The interracial couple walked towards on their direction and greeted them. From the man's accent and his way of talking, they guessed he was Australian.

Nathan would never greet back to strangers normally but since he was in his disguise eyeglasses and brown contact lenses with his boy next door hair, he was confident that no one would recognize him or Eunji.

And besides, the man seemed to mean no harm to them.

"Good morning." Nathan greeted monotonously as if he was uninterested to talk to him.

"Walking with your girlfriend?" The guy curiously asked which made Nathan to start feeling annoyed.

'Isn't he numb to see the ring on our fingers?' He criticized in his thoughts.

"Wife." He shortly corrected him.

His possessiveness started to kick in.

"Oh wow! I'm sorry about that!" He immediately apologized and Nathan waved his hand telling the former that it was okay but deep inside it wasn't especially when the guy was trying to look at Kim Eunji's face who was hidden by her hair as she was bowing her head down.

Which Nathan found weird to begin with.

"So you're having your honeymoon in this island?" The guy asked him one more time.

"Kind of. Please excuse us. My wife's not feeling well." Nathan was beyond annoyed. He was pissed and was minutes away to punching the man on the face.

"Relax mate! I was trying to be nice here. I was just you know...want to hang with you guys. My fiancé and I will be holding our wedding here tomorrow. I was hoping to see you there. Hoping that you would come."

"Congratulations but we're sorry. I think we'd pass. As you see, my wife would easily get dizzy and her being stuck in a crowded place like in your reception would make her feel uncomfortable. And as his husband, I don't want that to happen to her." Nathan rejected his invitation straightforwardly.

"What a shame...but just in case, if you both would change your mind, we'll be holding the wedding ceremony at the beach and the reception at Tanglaw Beach Resort's main pavilion." He said hoping that Nathan and Eunji would change their minds.

"Oh, I'm Jake by the way and this is my fiance Beth. She's a local here." Jake introduced.

"Nate and this is Eunji, my wife." Nathan shortly introduced him and Eunji who's head was held down.

"Nice to meet you Nate and Missus?"

"Kim." Nathan decided to use Eunji's family name.

He didn't want to risk the possibility that the man might recognize who they were.

"I'm sorry but I really felt your wife looked familiar. Like I had seen her before. That's why I decided to approach you immediately." He finally expressed his intention of approaching him.

"I don't think that we've met before." Kim Eunji said with hostility when she finally looked at him.

"Oh. Probably. I'm sorry." Jake apologized to her but Kim Eunji decided to ignore him.

Good thing Jake and Beth didn't linger that long and decided to leave them alone after that awkward exchange.

"Are you okay?" Nathan asked Kim Eunji who was still holding his hand tightly as she looked at the man's departing back.

"Eunji!" Nathan gently shook her shoulder to snap her from daze.

"Yeah?" She answered weakly.

"Do you know that guy?" Nathan could not help but ask her as he felt like her mood had changed the moment the guy approached them.

"I don't know him but I know what type of man he is." She answered as she started walking on a steady pace.

"He's a mercenary." Kim Eunji calmly added after she heaved a huge sigh of relief.

As he heard that, he couldn't help but be shocked and be alarmed as well.

Nathan then recomposed himself and acted cool like it didn't bother him just like what Kim Eunji was doing.

"He's probably an enemy who was after our life." Kim Eunji calmly added in a whisper.

"You don't believe me, do you?" Kim Eunji asked him when she felt he was keeping his silence.

"I do. I even wanted to praise you for acting so calm right now." Nathan told her which made Kim Eunji's lips to twitch.

Of course, if that man was indeed after them, he would be observing their actions from afar. Checking if there were changes on their behavior.

She might looked calm on the surface but deep down, she was starting to feel anxious.

What if the man recognized her? She did meet him in the past.

How?

Jake was the ace of their opponent.

The guy had been challenging her for a duel on who's the best whenever they met on the field but she would always win over him.

So, there's a great possibility that he would recognize her even if her appearance changed and was on a disguise.

Mercenaries, especially assassins not only studied their opponents face to recognize them. They also familiarized even their actions and mannerisms, too. They also familiarized even their actions and mannerisms, too."

Talking with familiarities, that guy knew her very well.

"You're unbelievable. Let's go!" Kim Eunji mumbled and walked towards the direction of the stair going to their resort.

When they arrived inside the resort, the couple temporary locked themselves on their room to plan.

"I'll ask someone to go there and check if their reservations were real including the wedding." Nathan proposed.

"No. It's risky. If you could hack on that Lantaw Hotel's server without getting caught the better. But...he might be making sure to monitor on that as well."

"You mean, he would be waiting for us to do that and then..."

"Exactly. He must be watching behind his back all the time in order to not be traced."

"Then, I'll start checking on who were the big shot guests here in the island that could be his target." Nathan told her.

But she doubt that plan would work.

Jake would know when they started their move.

He deliberately approached them to let his presence be known and when they were so busy planning on how to stop him that would be the time he would attack.

"No...there's no need to do that. It's better to not plan on how to outsmart him. It's best to face him head on."

But with her vulnerable state, it would be hard for her to fight him if that would happen.

'If he was still the same Jake that I knew, he had probably snuck inside this resort and touched most of our vehicles which would keep us from not being stuck in the island.' She thought.

"Okay. Let's start with our mode of transportation... Making sure that our boats would be okay when needed in emergency would be a top priority." Nathan said all of a sudden which made Kim Eunji to be amazed at how their ideas were the same.

"Right." She agreed.

Keeping tabs on the area where they had control over was a good start.

"Outsmarting him won't be easy." She added.

"He's someone who liked to play with his subjects than killing them instantly. That's why I hate the likes of him."

"You're suggesting that we should observe him for now. Am I right?"

"Yes. Our next action would be based on his next move."
