NO ONE ELSE COMES CLOSE REALLY A DUMMY
The night was unusually long for Angelo. He kept thinking about what would happen at the conference and each time he tried to sleep, his heart would trick him into thinking it was morning, only for him to wake up and be disappointed.The time finally came and as Angelo made his way into the hall, he promised himself that he was going to do things differently.He had taken his time to dress up and even wore powder on his face because he wanted Isabella to be attracted to him. She had once been, so he was confident that it could happen again.Contrary to what happened the day before, she appeared during the first segment of the meeting and when she was called in, Angelo stared at her without taking his eyes off even for a minute.Isabella seemed unbothered and gave her speech effortlessly. Angelo kept staring at her mouth as she spoke. He couldn't help but wonder if he kissed her, would he get the same feeling as he did before?The moment she was done, Isabella bowed respectfully and to
NO ONE ELSE COMES CLOSE I AM YOUR FRIEND
Isabella drove her car for a while and parked it by the side of the road. She touched her lips and briefly recalled Angelo's kiss. "I'm sorry for saying bad things about your parents, Angelo. It was the only way to push you away because I don't want you to hurt me again."After collecting her emotions, she called someone and said, "I am done but I can't meet up with you guys. Come to the hospital when you're done."As she drove to her hospital, she felt relieved that she wouldn't be needed at the conference anymore. At least she would not go through the torture of seeing Angelo once again.Angelo kept hiding in a corner while thinking of how to get close to Mirabella. Hamzat's phone suddenly rang and he picked it up but because of the music that was playing, he couldn't hear the other person.He stared at the plate of ice cream that Mirabella was happily scooping from. He tapped her on the head and said, "excuse me for a few minutes, let me answer a call."She nodded her head and turn
NO ONE ELSE COMES CLOSE FATHER AND DAUGHTER
Angelo spent the night dreaming about his trip to Steve's house. In his dream Steve told him that doctor Elle was Isabella and after that, he confronted her, she agreed and they reunited.He woke up feeling quite happy and hopeful. Even though it seemed like he was building castles in the air he still decided to be optimistic especially since it gave him quite a good feeling.It was Sunday and the conference wasn't going to hold until Monday so he had so much time on his hands.He freshened up and ate his breakfast. Just when he was about to leave his hotel room, his phone rang and he saw that it was from his doctor in Panama.He had completely forgotten about Mirabella and what he asked the doctor to do. He answered the call and wanted to tell the doctor that they could talk about the test results later in the day.However, immediately after greeting him, the doctor said, "the relationship is that of father and daughter."Angelo paused for a moment as he tried to understand what the
NO ONE ELSE COMES CLOSE DON'T KISS MY HAIR
Angelo called his private investigator and said, "I am sending you a video of a little girl. I want every available information on her, especially who her mother is."After making the call, Angelo decided to proceed with his initial plan of visiting Steve. He ordered a taxi and gave him Steve's address. Steve lived in a luxurious estate and when Angelo got to the place, he was quite impressed. He rang the doorbell and waited but there was no response. After ringing it two more times, he was about to leave when a young lady opened the door and stared at him suspiciously.Angelo heaved a sigh of relief the moment he saw her because she was the same person in the wedding pictures. "It's nice to meet you, Mrs. Gabriel." Seeing that Angelo knew who she was, the lady relaxed a bit, "what can I do for you, sir?""I am here to see your husband Steve. He was friends with my wife back in Panama and I just want to find out a few things from him." Angelo said without taking his eyes off her.""
NO ONE ELSE COMES CLOSE WILL YOU LIKE TO MEET MY MUMMY?
Isabella's heart began to beat fast. Hamzat had told her that Mirabella's beads fell on the floor when they went to get ice cream and the hall where the conference took place wasn't far off from there.Also, Mirabella looked like Angelo's late sister so he would naturally be drawn to her. She quickly went on Instagram and searched for Angelo's account. She noticed that he used her picture in his profile and most of the pictures he had posted were of her.If someone did not know better, they would think he was an obsessive stalker. After searching for a while, she finally saw a picture of him. He wore a black suit and looked quite handsome but as usual, he wasn't smiling.She showed Mirabella the picture and asked "is he the one?""Yes, that's my friend" she replied excitedly."Did he ask you anything about your mummy?" Isabella prodded.She heaved a sigh of relief when Mirabella said, "no." Angelo may have just been nice because she looked like his sister. She had taken a huge risk b
NO ONE ELSE COMES CLOSE IT'S AN EMERGENCY
Angelo smiled at Mirabella, "yes darling, I will love to meet your mummy.""Yay!" Mirabella said happily. "Let's wait for her together." The lady whom Angelo had earlier spoken with, stared at both of them and smiled at how cute they looked together.Angelo asked Mirabella to get on his shoulder but she said she was afraid of falling. He decided to let her be but promised himself that once he had revealed the relationship they shared, they would do everything together.Isabella parked her car at a distance, walked toward the gate, and was about to get in when she noticed Angelo holding onto Mirabella's hand.She clutched her chest in fear. How did he know that Mirabella was schooled here? Did she open up to him about it? She could not let Angelo see her because the moment he did, he would be convinced that she was Isabella. For now, he was just suspicious. She didn't know if he believed what Steve said but she had been thinking of more ways to ensure that he completely believed that
NO ONE ELSE COMES CLOSE I'M THINKING ABOUT YOU
After seeing the way Mirabella ran to Hamzat and hugged him, Angelo decided not to say anything. Perhaps the best thing would be to share his concerns with Isabella's mother. The delay also gave him enough time with her but he couldn't help but worry about how his daughter would have felt if he had not been with her. He didn't want to speak with Hamzat because he didn't like the fact that he was entrusted with Mirabella most of the time. Did he not have a job?The realization that Mirabella's mother hadn't shown up today, made him uneasy. Could it be that she was hiding from him? But that would only mean that she had done something wrong."Goodbye, Angelo." Mirabella waved at Angelo with a smile on her face as Hamzat took her away. Angelo also waved at her. He could tell that Hamzat did not like him, from the way he looked at him with hostility in his eyes. The feeling was mutual though and Angelo had hoped that Hamzat would confront him about coming to spend time with Mirabella. H
NO ONE ELSE COMES CLOSE SHE IS MY NANNY
Angelo realized that he needed to speak with the lady and came out from behind the pillar but before he could get to her, she had already driven off.He stood and watched the car in disbelief as it sped off. No matter what anyone said, there was no way he was going to believe that he had sexual relations with that woman.When he used to pick up girls, he always went for girls who were tall, beautiful, curvy, and sexy. Christy had all these qualities which was why he kept her by his side for a few years.The only woman he had allowed into his life who wasn't tall was Isabella. He never intended to fall for her and it was this confidence that made him marry her in the beginning. He was so sure that he would never be attracted to her because she looked nothing like the women he fancied.In the end, he had fallen hopelessly in love with her and never got the chance to show her his heart. He had promised himself that even if Mirabella's mother drugged him and had sex with him without his c

Paige stared at the people in the audience, observing the different expressions on their faces. Some felt pity for her, some laughed at her, while others booed and gestured with their thumbs down. As tears streamed down her face, the other girls continued to sing, and no one waited for her. After Candy; the fourth person, finished singing, the first girl resumed. Paige's microphone had already been rolled away from where she stood. Unable to bear the shame any longer, she turned around and ran away from the stage. Candy smiled, feeling victorious, and said inwardly, "Now let me see how you will be among the top two."Paige did not stop running until she reached outside. Fearing that people might notice her and start pointing fingers at her, she searched for a quiet and hidden spot, finding solace leaning on a pillar.

For Paige, everything seemed to be happening so fast. Just this morning, she was being called a thief and kicked out of her house. And now, she was going to be performing on a show tonight. She pinched herself to be sure she wasn't dreaming, and Jessica, who was staring at her, smiled, "Come on, let's go change your wardrobe.""Thank you very much, Sir," Paige said, wiping the joyous tears which had formed in her eyes."Don't worry about that. Just get ready to perform." Zach said.As Paige walked out, Zach stared at her, recalling his old days. His story seemed similar to hers as he had also been given a chance by someone he never expected. While they went shopping, Jessica asked Paige, "Are you related to Mr. Zach? I mean, he did say you're someone who belonged to him."Paige didn't know Jessica's relationship with Zach, so she didn't want to speak too much. She only said, "He's just helping me.""Come on, Mr. Zach doesn't help people just like that. I mean, everyone knows who he i

Paige sang for Zachary while he stood in awe, mesmerized by her performance. As she sang, she became so immersed that she closed her eyes and continued to pour her heart out. Zachary walked over to the bed, sat down, and kept his gaze fixed on her. When she finished singing, he exclaimed, "Wow! That was phenomenal.""Thank you, sir," Paige replied with a smile."I'm curious, how did you become such a talented singer? Don't worry, you can share it with me," he added, noticing her hesitation.Paige sighed and began her story, "Well, my mom was a gifted singer too. When she was young, her dream was to become a pop artist and her voice was perfect. However, her father, who was a billionaire, wanted her to take over the family business instead since she was his only child. She had to make a difficult choice between her passion and her responsibilities. Eventually, she took over my grandfather's company: Blanco Industries, but she never gave up singing.

"I'm sorry to trouble you, sir," Paige said. "Please, I want to ask for a favor.""What is it?" Zach asked."I will like to see you, please." She replied.Zach stared at all the men who were sitting in front of him and said, "Okay, I'll be right there."Getting up, he continued, "I think we've pretty much said everything that needed to be said at this meeting. I approve of your findings and now, I need implementation and results. Excuse me."After leaving the meeting room, Zach said to Luke, "Let's go back to the hospital."His assistant was surprised; Zach wasn't acting like himself. No one knew why he was being so kind and accommodating towards this girl. When they arrived at the hospital, he went in to see her. The moment Zach entered the room, Paige jumped off the bed in surprise and stared at him as her hands began to tremble. She instantly recognized him and who wouldn't?

NO ONE ELSE COMES CLOSE I MISSED YOU
NOVAEverything that was happening was like a big dream. My life's dream was coming true, and I felt so happy in a way I had never been before. Ella wouldn't understand how I was feeling, and to be honest, I regretted reconciling her with my dad. Her parents were together, and if I were in her shoes and trying to come between her mother and father, she would have made a big deal out of it and probably let the whole world know about it. So she ought to understand that I wanted my family to be together.I'd seen my dad suffer for years, from when I was a child to when I grew up and understood what was happening. He had mourned the loss of my mom for such a long time. Now that she was back, they had to rekindle whatever they had in the past, and probably he would get married to her, and we'd be one big family. This was what I wanted, but Ella wanted to ruin it.

NO ONE ELSE COMES CLOSE MY FIRST LOVE
ELLAAfter listening to Nova's mother's phone conversation, I quickly ran to my car and drove out of the compound. I didn't know if she heard me drive out or if she realized that I had eavesdropped on her conversation, but one thing was sure: I needed to do something fast. I went to school and saw Nova. I stared at her, and it occurred to me to tell her about what I had heard, but then I changed my mind. There was no way she would take me seriously, considering the fact that she rolled her eyes at me when I looked at her, and she completely ignored me. When Aiden saw our interactions, he walked up to me and asked, "Are you and Nova fighting or something?" I shook my head, "No, we're cool. Thanks, Aiden." After that, I focused on what I had to do in school. Then after school, I left.I first went to a bar, which was strange, because I went alone. I had a bottle of alcohol. I needed it somehow; it was going to boost my morale for what I wanted to do. After drinking, I drove straigh
