BLAZE'S POVShe had a kind of satisfied smirk on her face as she shook the phone to make it look more annoying.I wasn't about to be blackmailed again, not after Stephanie.With one quick move she wasn't expecting, I grabbed the phone from her and her face turned into one of shock and fear, she lunged at me and I raised the phone up high, she tried reaching my hands but I was way too tall for her. I smiled."Why? You didn't think you should save it to another device?" I asked and she got angrier as she tried to reach the phone."Give that back! Give it back blockhead!"She screamed and I laughed."You're pathetic. " I said and she clenched her fists together. Then she took a deep breath."How about this? I give you what you want and you give me what I want." She said and put her hand seductively on her chest.Blaze, a few months ago would have seen a lady, wet and dripping with water with her light gown clinging to her body and outlining all her curves and her hair, slick and wet, sti
CARAMEL'S POV"Just, whatever you do Caramel, do not scream. There's no way we can escape if all the snakes on this tree chase after us." Blaze said and I nodded."I know... So what do we do?" I asked and he took my hand."We move back slowly. Hand me the sprays just in case." He said and I tried to reach into the bag slowly and brought out three sprays, I gave him two and held the last.Then we began to back away slowly.The snakes stared at us and I wished I knew what was on their minds.As we kept on moving backwards slowly, I tripped over a fallen branch and fell. This seemed to anger the snakes and as Blaze tried to help me up, they all flew.I screamed and we ran using our hands to take away the branches."Hang on."Blaze said and turned to the snakes and pressed on both sprays. It was like white vapour in the air and as it met with the eyes of the snakes, they hissed and wriggled on the ground.About three came up near me and I pressed the spray hard, we continue running and eac
CARAMEL'S POV"Relax... Nothing's going to happen." Blaze said softly and I looked into his eyes and tried to find comfort. The sight of all the snakes tangled up like that repulsed me. He drew me up slowly and I saw blood trickle down his wrist and I found out that he was holding on to me with his injured arm.I managed to find a rock and hoisted myself over.We lay there for a while before standing."Our sprays would never be enough, we've almost used them up. We'll never survive this." I said but he put a hand on my lips."Don't be so negative. Look at them. They're asleep." He said as he held my arm. "If they weren't, they would have attacked." He added and I held his hand tight."But that one's staring right at us." I said but he shook his head."Snakes don't have lids, their eyes are always open." He said and I could see he was also scared but was trying to act brave for me. Because if the both of us were
CARAMEL'S POVI looked at the waters and knew I just couldn't do it, for some reason, my legs won't move.Months ago, if anyone asked me to choose between crossing a little water and being killed by lots of snakes, I'd have laughed and called the question senseless because I would definitely, pick the water."Caramel! What are you doing!?" Blaze called." Caramel!" Rhys also called and then Blaze took the rope and jumped down from the yacht and ran in the water to me. "What are you doing!?" He asked and pulled my arm and surprisingly, I pulled back as I remembered that day in the pool."I'll drown. I'll drown... I said I'll drown!" I screamed hysterically."What got into you!?" Blaze asked and as he saw the snakes, he pulled me harder. But seeing, I was still stuck, staring at the water, he bent and pulled me to his back.He carried and I closed my eyes as he ran to the water. I just hoped the snakes were not the type that loved and could stay in water.As I felt my feet, got wet, I
CARAMEL'S POVI could see everyone was alarmed as I continued to scream but it was as though I wasn't with them anymore.The other time when we were about to enter the yacht, I simply remembered my panic and fear that day but this particular time, it was as though I was back in the water, I couldn't breathe, everywhere in my head was the memory of me screaming and trying to hang on.I found it hard to breathe as it truly felt like I was sinking again.Finally, I was able to breathe but it was coming out hard and fast.I was hyperventilating.Tears started to fall out of my eyes and Blaze ran and knelt in front of me."Caramel! Calm down. Take a deep breath." He said and I shook my head."I can't... I just can't." I said and he held my shoulders."You have to breathe." He said but it was extremely hard to stop breathing and he seemed to be thinking of what to do but his next action took me off guard.I mean I was extremely shocked when he tilted my chin, bent and kissed me in the prese
BLAZE'S POVI woke up quite early and saw Caramel with her back to me, curled up in a ball, and holding my pillow tight.I smiled and left the bed. I took my bath and left the room.The day seemed like it was going to turn out nice but as I stepped out to the yacht, the cloudy grey sky stamped out any hopes of a nice, warm day.I looked around the yacht and saw I wasn't the only one outside. Sadie was there too, checking things on her phone. I brought out my phone and just then, a call came in.It was Nate."Hey Nate." I said, pleased to receive a call from him."How are you doing over there? I heard you guys are returning home." He said and I laughed."Wow. It seems like someone has been missing me a lot." I replied and he laughed. " Missing you, my foot. I also heard you got injured." He said and I smiled as I turned around and went back into the yacht."You seem to be really worried. Well, I broke my arm but it's not that bad." I lied and loved his reaction."Your arm? You broke i
CARAMEL’S POVI had been wondering why he had apologized and was about to ask, when he suddenly bent and kissed me.I was shocked and wanted to push him away but he held onto me and just then, Ria pushed the door open and stopped. I closed my eyes quickly and relaxed my tensed muscles so she wouldn’t notice it was all fake.Then Rhys left me and looked at her. She stared at us with tears in her eyes. The way she looked from I to Rhys seemed to suggest she was speechless and wasn’t expecting to see us doing that. “ Rhys” She called in a broken voice and I looked at Rhys, he didn’t even look bothered at all, instead, he stared at her coldly.“ You should really form an habit of knocking before you barge in, it’s starting to get really annoying.” He said and she scoffed.“ Barging in? I’m annoying? Rhys, what has gotten into you? If you want something and I’m not giving it to you, then tell me, let’s talk it out. This is childish.” She said and I could see signs of anger on her face.Ri
CARAMEL'S POV I was in the water, and I began to panic. Everything was dark, and I couldn't see. The water was all around me, there was no way to escape, I was stranded."Ria! Ria! I was wrong! So stop this insanity. How can you try to kill a person!?" I shouted panicking, but she only smirked. "I don't think you feel you're wrong! Rhys is my life , and you stole him from me!""Please stop this craziness! I did not steal him from you. Ria! Very soon, I'll lose my calm, I'll panic, and I'll drown. I'm very close to panicking now, and I'm going to die! Don't forget I have aquaphobia!" I screamed, and Ria threw her shoe in. "That's the reason I threw you in! I threw you in because you're scared of water! Because you can't swim, so you'd die and leave, I and Rhys alone! How dare you kiss him?" She asked and threw her other shoe in, it hit my head and I exclaimed in pain. She began to throw other things at me, and I could feel it coming, in seconds, I wouldn't be able to breathe."Take
BLAZE’S POVI watched as someone who was at Caramel’s back, hit her neck and got her unconscious. I was angry, but I decided to hold back to know where they were heading to. I couldn’t afford to mess this up because of my feelings.I followed them with my car and drove even through the bad roads. Why did they have to pick a place that is as bad and weird as this? Anyways, those who do abduct people and do bad things look for places like this to carry out their bad works.As soon as they got to their hideout, I called the cops as I could not get into the house without them, noticing me. Then I dialed Maya’s number.“Hello Blaze. He just called me.”“Good. I’m at the hide out, but you do not need to go. I have called the cops already, so you don’t have to worry about it.”“Oh, alright then. I await good news.”“Sure. Thank you so much for this. I have forgiven y
BLAZE’S POV“Since I started working for you, you have always been the reason behind my troubles. I have always been tortured and treated badly because of you.”“Caramel.”“But even with that, you have always saved me, come through for me and try to clean up the mess that was made. I think this is the fight one has to fight to be with a celebrity and I have made my decision, which is to stay, stand and fight with you. If others left you because of this or other reasons, I will stay. And, I will renew my contract with you and prove them wrong. I will let them know that you can win another championship and that I can be the best coach ever. For now, help me find my brother.” She said as a tear, strolled down her chin.My heart beamed with joy and was accompanied with a smile. I hugged her tight and felt so happy that she didn’t push me away this time. The joy I was feeling presently was enough for me to bash anyon
CARAMEL’S POVI rushed out of the cinema, pacing around and waiting for Blaze to come out. As soon as he came out, I opened his car door, but he grabbed my arm.“Caramel, be calm.” He said.“Don’t tell me to be calm! That boy has only me and it is my duty to always protect him.” I said as I withdrew my arm from him and got into his car.Tears ran down my cheek and I sniffed as I couldn’t bear the thought of Lucas killed. He wasn’t supposed to be abducted. What did he do to deserve this? How could I live with a burdened heart?Blaze got into the car and then started the car and we drove off.“Look Caramel. Let’s get to your place first to confirm if he was really abducted or not.” Blaze suggested.Then I nodded and hoped that it was a prank even when 70% of me felt it wasn’t. As soon as we got to my house, I opened the door and saw everywhere scattered. I fell to the gro
BLAZE'S POVThe next day, I woke up feeling better and in a good mood. I smiled at Caramel who was still deep in her sleep. She looked like so cute that I could kiss her until eternity.I decided to leave her room quietly as I wanted to make her a meal myself for a surprise. I didn't win the championship but I had won Caramel's heart and that was still a win for me. Her golden heart which was rare to find was now mine.I got out of the room and walked down the stairs. As I got to the kitchen, I was startled by Rosa whom I didn't notice was in the kitchen."I'm sorry I startled you, Mr. Nightingale." She apologized, with a slight smile."Oh, it's fine."As I disregarded that, I recalled that I had asked Rosa to leave when I needed to speak to Caramel. Certainly, she would have been worried about the outcome and could have wondered why we were no longer saying anything.
CARAMEL’S POVWas this a dream? Moments like this most times happen in movies. Could I be in one? There was no way a billionaire would look at me and tell me he loves me. I have also been harsh to him. There is no way Blaze Nightingale will tell me he loves me.“Please drop the act.” I said as I disengaged from him. Then I looked into his eyes with sadness. “I know you are just trying to make me not to think about the fact that I am not competent enough, but that can’t work. If you feel you are wasting your money by paying me even when I didn’t help you bag the championship, you are free to withhold my payment.” I said, with pain and then dragged my luggage, heading for the door.But then, Blaze grabbed my arm and held my face as he locked eyes with me. In his eyes, I could see sincerity, innocence, love, care and desire.“Allow yourself to feel the love you have for me, because the love I have for you can not be
BLAZE’S POVI watched as part of the crowd cheered for my opponent as he jumped up in victory. My racket fell from my hand and I felt dejected.Earlier on, I had watched as his girlfriend had given him a kiss and encouraged him with love. All through, I couldn’t help but feel guilty for making Caramel go through a lot and her attitude towards me and I found myself missing every ball thrown at me because I was either lost in thought or I was too slow to catch it after snapping out of my thoughts.Suddenly, I remembered Caramel. She wasn’t around here. Could she have ran off feeling bad that I had failed and lost? I left the tennis court and ran out but was swamped by reporters.“Mr. Nightingale, we heard of how you were not fully focused at the tennis court, are you alright?” One of them threw a question at me.“Yes I am.” I answered, trying to get out of the crowd.“Some allegations are made against
BLAZE’S POVIt was a new day and the D-day that I had been waiting for a long time. I was going to give today my best and ensure that I make my mom proud wherever she was. As soon as I was done having my bath, I went to the sitting room, waiting for Caramel to be done.I expected that she was going to take a longer time than I expected as I knew women do take time in getting prepared for an outing but she came out in about two minutes.I was stunned at her beauty and her preparedness was visible. In the last few days, I had spent my time thinking about how much I had offended her and endangered her life. If only she could give me another chance to make things right.Yeah, today was the D-day and the day I have been on my toes for a while but even as it was here, I wasn’t feeling elated. I had mixed feelings and I wished Caramel would hug me and tell me encouraging words. She was the one I cherished after my mother and my mother never failed to
CARAMEL’S POVNow, it was clear to me that having any form of close relationship with Blaze would only endanger me and my brother still needed me more than anything in this world. I also needed to achieve my dreams before giving up the ghost.“Hey Caramel. You have been discharged. Let’s go back.” Paul said, with a smile on his face.I smiled back at him and got down from the bed.“Alright, I am ready to go.”“I’m glad you are much better. You really need to cut yourself some slack at times, okay?”“Sure, I will. And I will be more careful, next time. I bet they would have done more games without me.”“Come on, no one is as heartless as you might think right now. They all took five.” Paul smiled and ruffled my hair.“Wow. I feel loved.”Paul and I took a cab back to the beach and everyone was dismissed to have a long nap before we started again
BLAZE’S POV“Caramel! Caramel, wake up!” I called out her name and shook her body in anxiety but she wasn’t moving.Then I turned to Monica.“What the hell did you do that for!” I raised my voice at her.I could tell she was startled as she covered her mouth with her hands, looking shocked at Caramel who wasn’t moving an inch.“If something happens to her, just have it in mind that you’ll be going to jail.” I threatened her, with anger.Then I touched her neck to be sure if she was still breathing or not and to my relief, she was still breathing. Immediately, I carried her back to the beach and those who had given up saw me from afar and ran towards me.“What happened to her?” Paul asked, looking alarmed.“She tripped and fell hard but it seems she passed out.” I replied as I handed her over to him.I called the ambulance as fast as I could and,
