Hence, Kristen chose to stay with Kai, and they soon became inseparable.
One day, while fishing with Kai, they encountered a luxury cruise ship passing by in the distance.
The ship was filled with people, men and women dressed in fine clothing.
The women were adorned with expensive jewelry that sparkled brilliantly in the sunlight.
As Kristen looked at the women from afar, she felt an inexplicable sense of panic and unease.
The sight of their faces triggered a severe headache, and she struggled to remember why she felt this way.
Noticing her distress, Kai hurried to her side.
"What's wrong?"
Kristen pointed toward the distant cruise ship.
Kai followed her gaze and saw the wealthy women on board.
Understanding her reaction, he gently picked her up and started walking back home.
"If looking at that ship causes you pain, then don't look. Sometimes forgetting painful things is a blessing."
Kristen nodded in agreement.
Kai had a strong feeling that Kristen's past must have been filled with despair.
When he first found her, she was covered in whip marks and old scars, a sight that had deeply disturbed him.
The cruelty needed to inflict such pain on a beautiful and delicate woman was unimaginable.
He instinctively thought that Kristen had probably been a servant in a wealthy household, which explained her horrible circumstances.
Kristen followed his advice.
Since there were luxury cruise ships frequently passing near the island, she decided to stop fishing and spend her days sunbathing on the beach.
She found it incredibly soothing.
"The ladies here always say I'm really lucky and blessed. I didn't quite understand what they meant back then, but now it seems clearer. Kai, I want to thank you for saving me."
Kai was stunned but quickly smiled contentedly.
"Yes, I'm also grateful for myself," he said, reflecting on his decision to save Kristen despite the objections he faced.

The readers' comments on the novel: Wait, She’s a Billionaire (Sheena Lawson)
The novel is too abusive it spoils the joy of reading it. I hate the punishment part between sheena and Eliot....
