As Zach carried Paige out of William's compound, Barbie made her way towards the gate. She stood outside, staring at the locked gate until Zach unlocked it and walked out.Seeing Paige in his arms, she stared at him in surprise. She looked through the gate and saw many men lying on the ground unconscious. She also spotted Williams.She gasped, thinking that Williams had been killed by Zach. She ran into the compound and went to where Williams was. She turned his face and noticed that he did not have any gunshot marks. She heaved a sigh of relief. Afterward, she ran out of the compound and followed Zach.All the men who had accompanied Zach got into different speedboats. When Barbie had earlier seen them, she didn't know they had come with Zach because Zach did not say a word to them. They seemed as though they were there for a different purpose. It was only now that they were leaving that she realized Zach was acquainted with them.Zach got into the speedboat while still carrying Paig
After Zach walked out of Paige's bedroom, he received a call from Melvin, who informed him that he and Vanessa wanted to come to the beach house to see Paige. Zach sighed, "I'm not sure if that is a good idea. The thing is, Paige is very agitated. She threw a fit when she saw me just now and she was also scared.I'm worried that if she sees more faces that she doesn't find familiar, her condition will get worse. The doctor had said that she'll regain her memories within a week, so I just want to request that you both give her until then.I know you really want to see her, and I understand perfectly how you feel, but I'm just worried about her situation getting out of hand. Just give it a few more days, please. I will do my best to look after her."As Vanessa listened to the conversation, she shook her head, saying no to Melvin. She really wanted to see Paige; she had barely slept well the previous night.However, Melvin said, "Okay Zach, if you feel that's the best thing to do, we'll
Zach spent the day compiling a lot of information that he intended to show Paige.Ranging from videos to songs, pictures, social media posts, and many other things, he was convinced that when Paige saw all these, she would not take Williams' name anymore as the man she loved. At this time, Barbie was sitting on her bed, thinking about Williams. She wondered what he was doing. She knew he must have woken up by now, but she didn't know what Zach's plan was. She didn't believe Zach would let him go so easily. Since Zach did not kill him, what was he planning to do?She decided to go on social media to see if the news that Paige had been rescued had gone viral. She was shocked to see that Williams' picture was all over the internet, and people were bashing him.He was being described as the enemy who stabbed his best friend in the back. It was revealed that he was the one who kidnapped Paige and took her to an island to have her for himself. There was also video footage of him lying unc
Zach let go of Paige and slowly pulled away after a minute.She stared at him as her pulse quickened and her cheeks became flushed. She couldn't understand why she reacted to his kiss the way she did. Meanwhile, Zach who was pleased by the outcome, smiled at her, got up, and left the room.He came back quickly with a balm and sat on the bed. He lifted her injured leg carefully and Placed it on his thigh. He then began to apply the balm gently while she just kept staring at him."This balm is very effective," he told her. "Once you wake up in the morning, all the pain you feel in your ankle will be gone, just like magic."She continued staring at him without a word and finally, he asked, "Do you know how we met?"She shook her head, "No.""Okay. I'll tell you." He began, "It was raining, really heavily on that day. I was in my car when I saw you. You were lying on the ground, your face was as white as a sheet, and you were unconscious.The rain was pelting you aggressively, and I felt
Paige smiled at Zach and said to him, "I believe you."He sighed in relief and pulled her into his arms, hugging her. Afterward, he created a little distance between them.Paige continued to stare at him until Zach asked, "Is something wrong? Why do you keep staring at me?"She blushed, "I'm sorry, it's just that I think you're quite handsome.""Really? You do!"She nodded and Zach felt on top of the world."I am one lucky man." He expressed."Why do you say so?" Paige asked him."Well, you loved me before, and now that you lost your memory, you still find me handsome. This means that no matter what happens, I always stand a chance with you.""I guess you're right," Paige replied. "You said something earlier about my parents. Where are they? Is it possible for me to see them?""Of course," Zach replied. "They are so worried about you. They called earlier in the day and wanted to see you.""Why didn't you let them?" Paige asked.He sighed, "Well, you were a bit agitated, so I was worri
When Paige opened her eyes in the morning, she was alone in the room. She got out of bed and went to brush her teeth.When she came out of the bathroom, she realized that the pain in her ankle had disappeared. She was surprised."Wow! It's just like he said," she thought. She recalled how Zach had kissed her last night and could not stop blushing."Did he spend the night here? I wonder where he is," she said and walked out of the room.She went to the guestroom, thinking he'd be there. When she didn't see him, she went out of the house to the beach, but still, there was no sign of him. She became worried, thinking that Zach had left without telling her.As she went back into the house, she began to hear some noises and followed the sound. She found Zach in the kitchen, cooking.As she stood outside staring at him, she began to have flashes of Zach being in the kitchen wearing an apron, while she stood by the door, staring at him."Good morning, Darling." She said after watching him fo
Williams continued staring at Paige in surprise as she said, "Yes, I slapped you, Williams, and you know what? You deserve a hundred more. However, trying to give you more slaps would be tantamount to dirtying my hand. I need to go get it washed right now.""Wh... What are you saying, Paige?" Williams asked. "It's me, Williams.""Yes, I know you, Williams! The evil guy who stabbed his best friend in the back, the evil guy who got my best friend pregnant and asked her to get rid of the baby. The evil guy who kidnapped me on the day of my wedding and lied to me. You tried to deceive me, and you hurt the love of my life so much. If I had my way, I'd stab you to death for all the pain you put Mr. Zach through. What were you thinking? That I'll still be without my memories, and you'll deceive me once again? Even if my memory was not intact, I still would've done what I just did because you're a liar, a thief, a criminal, and you belong behind bars. This world would be a better place with
After running away from Zach's house, Williams concealed his identity and quickly lodged into a hotel. Knowing that the police were all over the place searching for him, he believed he needed to hide out for a while.Hailey, who had also gone into hiding, and had been trying unsuccessfully to reach Williams, called his number once again.This time, Williams answered her call."Williams! What happened? I've been trying to call you. I've been so worried. Where are you?" She bombarded him with questions."I'm fine," Williams replied. "How are you?""Well, what can I do? Williams, our whole plan got ruined because of Barbie. That bitch! Wasn't she supposed to be on your side?" Hailey revealed."What are you talking about?" Williams asked."Come on, Williams. Think about it. How do you think Zach found you? It must have been Barbie. She was working for you. She was close to you, so she must have known where you were taking Paige."Williams suddenly recalled that night he was in the pool, s
CORAAs we were rescued out of the elevator, Reign requested a stretcher for me. At this point, Lucas' men in black suit who had been chasing me, all rushed towards me, wanting to take me away even in my condition.Reign lost it and punched the first man who touched me. He landed on his back and lost consciousness. All the other men moved back, shocked by his action.I turned and stared at him, surprised at how strong he was. A small crowd had already gathered and they were all staring in surprise. Reign looked disheveled and his shirt was soaked with sweat, completely different from how he looked when I first saw him.I was so weak that I could barely move my body. I could not understand how he could still act as though nothing happened to him. Right before I was wheeled into the van, I mumbled a 'thank you,' to him and he smiled.I didn't know if I would ever see him again and the chances of our paths crossing again were almost zero. I sadly closed my eyes and waited for the van to m
CORAWhen I was pulled into the elevator and found out it was by Reign Fletcher, I could not believe my eyes. How could I? The Fletchers were the wealthiest family in London. His mother, Paige Fletcher was a music legend and it was no secret that she was spoiled silly by her husband who loved her more than anything else in the world. Tiffany Fletcher, Reign's sister was a popular singer who was just like her mother. She was presently on tour and I was one of her die-hard fans.Reign was the different one who was believed to be enigmatic, avoided the media, and rarely granted interviews. There were no scandals about him and even though people knew a lot about the other Fletchers, he was the exception. What were the odds that someone like him would be kind enough to value a life like mine?When he gave me mouth-to-mouth resuscitation and I opened my eyes, it was as though I saw the face of an angel sent to me from above. I was awestruck by his kindness and humility.What I was going thr
REIGNI walked into SUN INDUSTRIES with a smile on my face and a bouquet of roses to see Lisa, my girlfriend. Our mothers were best friends and had been so since their youth. Both families were so close that Lisa and I practically grew up together.She was the closest person to me and when we both got into college, I confessed my feelings to her and she accepted to be my girlfriend. Our families were so happy about it and our marriage was inevitable.One of the things I loved about Lisa was her drive. She was so passionate about work, yet reserved and hardworking. She took over SUN INDUSTRIES from her blood father, Williams Sun, who was released from prison years ago, and in no time, she took the company to much greater heights.The excitement on my face died when I arrived at her office and learned she wasn't around. We had agreed to meet at three and I was a very punctual person.I dialed her number and when she answered the call, she said, "I am so sorry, Reign. Something important
SEQUEL TO MY LITTLE SUNSHINE On the same day I got married, I learned a heartbreaking truth; I was merely a substitute; a stand-in bride for my husband's beloved. My dreams and feelings didn't matter to anyone but me.In the eyes of the public, I was his wife but at home, I had to live as a furniture and a prisoner.Refusing to live such a miserable life, I ran, faster than I had ever done in my entire life, but then, I found myself walking on thin ice.I was on the brink of a precipice when someone reached out his hand and gave me a lifeline. He was Reign Fletcher, and he became my everything.~~~CORAShe bumped into my life unexpectedly, and suddenly, what started out as an accident became the most important moment of my life. I never understood what it felt like to love someone else more than you do yourself until I met Cora Gilbert.~~~~REIGN
CORAI stared at the red lacy lingerie in front of me and blushed shyly. After hesitating for a while, I finally put it on and laid on the king-sized bed, assuming a sexy posture.Twenty minutes later, my husband, Lucas Grey, walked into the room and when he saw me, a look of surprise appeared on his face. I thought it was because I was putting on sexy lingerie, and I felt embarrassed, blaming myself for allowing my best friend, Emily talk me into such foolishness. I learned quickly that I thought wrong."What the hell are you doing in my bedroom?" Lucas thundered, his voice completely different from that of the man I had married a few hours ago.I sat upright and was about to speak when he ordered, "Get out of this room right now."I instantly got off the bed but rather than leave, I asked, "What is wrong, Lucas? Why are you speaking to me so disrespectfully?"He snorted, "Disrespectfully? I am appalled by your shamelessness. Why would you come into my bedroom, and that too dressed l
EIGHT MONTHS LATERPaige sat lazily on the sofa while Zach stood beside her with a briefcase in his hand."Are you sure you're feeling okay?" he asked.She nodded, "Yes, I am okay. you can leave."Zach had an important meeting, but he was reluctant to leave Paige. Ever since she got far along in her pregnancy, she became easily irritated and threw tantrums. Although he knew she tried her best not to make things difficult for him, sometimes she just couldn't help her condition.Susan had, on one occasion, said something that irritated her, and she told Zach she did not want to see Susan anymore. So, Zach immediately fired Susan. However, she pleaded repeatedly for another chance, saying it was a mistake, and Paige felt sorry for her. So she told Zach to let her go for the time being and only allow her back after she had given birth.In her place, Zach brought four more people to attend to Paige. two were nurses, and the other two were maids; these ones were always at Paige's beck and c
Two Months LaterZach sat down with his eyes blindfolded and a wide smile plastered on his face. The two months he had spent with Paige enjoying their honeymoon in Paris turned out to be the best time of his life.They had so many fun and loving activities together, but the most exciting was that they took turns surprising each other. Every day, he was either giving Paige a surprise or she was giving him a surprise. He was a little sad that their honeymoon was about to come to an end, and they had to go back to London to begin their life and face the world as a couple.Barbie's wedding to Luke was coming up in two days, so they had to leave before then, especially since she had chosen Paige to be her chief bridesmaid."I'm still waiting," he said to Paige, and she smiled, "You're not allowed to cheat. Do not take the blindfold off unless you get a signal from me."Zach raised his hands, "Yes, your highness. As you can see, I have no intention of cheating."Paige quickly set the stage
Candy kept staring at Paige, wondering why she had come to her wedding. She also recognized Barbie and Luke.Her eyes went lower to Zach and Paige's hands, which were intertwined. Seeing their rings and how fondly they held each other, she became teary-eyed and looked away.Meanwhile, Paige was busy staring at the different guests who had arrived. She spotted Anthony; Candy's father, and the moment they made eye contact, he quickly looked away and whispered some words into Beverly's ears.After they were joined together, people began to congratulate the couple, but Candy's face showed nothing but unhappiness. Zach, still holding Paige's hand, took her towards Damon to congratulate him, while Candy went to her parents.When they met Damon, Paige smiled at him and said, "Congratulations, Damon." He smiled back, "You must be Paige, the little angel who captured Zach's heart." Paige chuckled while he added, "I guess congratulations are in order too. You both got married just a few days
The next day, Barbie and Luke sat facing each other when they went out on the date Barbie had agreed to go on.Luke was staring at her, and she was smiling, but her heart was racing because she had no idea what he was going to say."I have something to say," she finally decided to break the silence. "The thing is, ever since that day I ran into your car, you have been exceptionally nice and caring towards me, and I was under the impression that Zach asked you to look after me.Paige had told me back then that she and Zach would support me in my pregnancy journey. So I came to that conclusion since you work for him, but I got to hear from Paige yesterday that Zach never asked you to look after me.This is what has been on my mind since then. I mean, if Zach did not ask you to look after me, then why have you been doing things like calling me, checking up on me, and caring for me? Do you perhaps feel sorry for me?"Luke chuckled, "Sorry for you? Come on, Barbie, you should know that can
