My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey)

An average person wouldn't be able to climb so far up such a tall tree, much less with a person on their back. Tremaine didn't reply.

Climbing this tree wasn't much of a challenge for him. He had gone through much worse from his field training.

"Get some sleep," Tremaine said, "We should rest now,"

Yesseca could only keep quiet.

Sleep on this big tree?

Tremaine had to be joking.

Tremaine had already switched off the light on his phone, so he couldn't see Yesseca's face at all. If he did, he would have noticed that Yesseca's face was as dark as the night sky right now. "What if we fall off the tree? If we went to sleep, we'd definitely fall and die!" Yesseca added.

"Sleep in my arms, then you won't fall."

Yesseca blushed bright red. "No!"

"Up to you," Tremaine said casually, "You don't have much of a choice right now,"

Just as he finished talking, a loud howl rang out from somewhere within the forest.

Yesseca was so scared that she nearly fell off the tree. Luckily, Tremaine held onto her hand.

Tremaine said coldly, "You'll hear that very often in the forest at night. You won't notice them if you're asleep. All you need to do is sleep in my arms, and then it'll be morning before you know it," Yesseca's lips trembled.

Tremaine was right. She didn't have much of a choice right now.

She was terrified.

Not only was she high up on a tree, there were animals howling out there and it was so dark she couldn't see anything in front of her.

She was very eager to fall asleep and see the sunrise.

Yesseca finally got into Tremaine's arms. "Alright, I'll sleep in your arms. You won't fall, will you?"

"No, I won't." Tremaine said curtly.

If anyone else said this, she wouldn't have trusted them, but when Tremaine said it, Yesseca believed him completely.

If he said he wouldn't fall, then he definitely won't.

Yesseca closed her eyes.

The whole experience she went through today kept replaying in her mind like a movie. She was still confused as to what was going on.

She forced herself to stop thinking about it.

She then tried to go to sleep as soon as possible. Everything would be fine when you fall asleep. Things will be okay when the sun rises tomorrow. Yesseca slept in Tremaine's arms, but he didn't get any sleep. He closed his eyes, but was completely alert.

An hour later, he heard footsteps coming from far away.

He immediately opened his eyes.

He heard the cracking of branches snapping just below him.

He was very high up the tree. He heard someone say. "Find him and kill him."

A cold glint flashed across Tremaine's eyes.

It was an order to kill him on sight.

He was certain that someone was out to get him. However, since he had earned such a strong foundation in the trust of the public, it was impossible to shake him off. That was probably why his opponent wanted him dead. However...

The chill in his eyes grew deeper.

Since his opponent had the information to set up an ambush against him, it could only mean one thing. There was a spy in his organization.

As Tremaine had expected, the soldiers looking for him were unable to find him after searching for some time. They left, unsuccessful once again. Tremaine closed his eyes again.

He had to rest up to tackle the challenges he'd have to face tomorrow.

That night, Yesseca had a nightmare.

She dreamed of a wolf and a bear.

When numerous wolves and bears chased after her, Tremaine held her hand and ran with her. She suddenly couldn't run anymore.

As desperate as she was to get away, she couldn't move her legs at all. She was terrified at the thought of getting eaten.

Then, a wolf appeared and lunged at her with its mouth wide open.

Yesseca woke up in a cold sweat.

It was daybreak.

She looked up and looked at Tremaine's handsome face.

He was still fast asleep.

Yesseca tried to move her body.

Tremaine was tightly holding on to her and noticed her moving.

He opened his eyes.

"You're awake," he said.

What a strange man.

Everyone woke up feeling slightly groggy and sleepy, but he got up looking fresh and alert.

Yesseca trembled as she looked down. "Can...

Can we get down now?"

Tremaine looked at her and said blandly, "Yeah, sure,"

Yesseca climbed onto his back again. Tremaine then climbed down the tree with ease.

This time, Yesseca was able to see him climb down the tree clearly.

He moved nimbly and very quickly.

They soon reached the ground and Yesseca jumped off Tremaine's back.

"Let's get out of the forest, right now." Yesseca didn't want to spend another second here.

"You think you have the strength to leave?"

Tremaine looked at Yesseca.

"Why not?" As she said that, Yesseca took a single step forward. Her legs turned into jelly, causing her to fall.

She had no strength at all.

Her stomach was growling.

"Wait here, I'll be right back," Tremaine told her.

Last night, he had dragged Yesseca

into the middle of the forest to

escape from a life or death situation.

He was rushing throughout the

entire time to avoid them getting into trouble. Despite sleeping on the tree last night, they still had to recover their strength after how intense last night was. They needed to recover their strength for what was to come.

For example, they were very likely to encounter wild beasts, so he and Yesseca had to have enough strength to survive.

After Tremaine left, Yesseca felt dizzy and confused.

She looked around at the towering trees and wondered how they ended up here.

Well, she was here because she went looking for a bathroom, but what about Tremaine?

Why had he come to Nashaland and why was he on the presidential train?

Tremaine had said he would be away for a month.

Was this why he was here in Nashaland?

Suddenly, she had a bold idea.

Tremaine was on the presidential train and helped her escape from being shot at and from the train catching fire. He definitely wasn't a regulan person since he was able to climb up that tree easily. Was he the president's bodyguard?

Yesseca guessed that this was possible.

No wonder he was always so mysterious about what he did for a living.

So that's how he could afford the lavish villa he lived in!

Being the personal bodyguard of the president, he would certainly earn a must

lot of

for himself. Th

Tremaine returned just as she was thinking this.

He came back with some wild berries and an unknown animal in his hands.

Yesseca looked at him quietly.

Tremaine placed the wild berries in her hand. "Eat these first."

Yesseca was so hungry, she didn't hesitate to gobble down the berries.

The wild berries were delicious. They tasted tangy and sweet.

After eating some of the berries, she felt much better.

"What's that?" Yesseca looked at the animal in Tremaine's hands.
