When she realized that Angelo was gone, Isabella opened her eyes and turned her back on the sea.Being a man was sure advantageous, she thought to herself. They could get naked whenever they wanted and it wouldn't be a big deal.How was she going to take her bath and wash her red gown now? She also needed to wash her hair because it was dirty and covered with sand.If she left it the way it was for a few more days, she would end up looking like a mad woman.Angelo washed his briefs and realized that he would have to walk back naked to where Isabella was. He had taken them off initially to make Isabella uncomfortable but he knew that it wasn't proper for him to walk around naked.He stared at his trouser on top of the rocks and had an idea. "Isabella, bring my trouser for me," he said.Isabella opened her eyes in shock. This Angelo was certainly a pervert, she thought."If you don't bring it, I will have to come get it myself. Isabella rolled her and said, "come get it yourself then."
Angelo's eyes were still covered with the red blindfold when he heard a high-pitched sound from Isabella's direction.He immediately took the blindfold off without second thoughts and was surprised to see that Isabella had disappeared. He screamed her name without getting a response and finally realized that she was inside the water.He moved deeper into the water and dived in. He was shocked to see Isabella's still body being carried away by the water.He swam faster than he had ever done in his life and went much deeper into the water.He got to her naked body, put his hands around her, below her breast, and swam out of the water.When he got to the shore, he placed her body on the sand and repeatedly called out her name while tapping her cheeks.He kept calling her name but she remained unconscious. In the end, he put his two hands on her chest and began to apply compressions until she opened her eyes and began to cough out water from her mouth.Angelo knelt back as he breathed a s
"How many Islands are closer to this big sea?" Christy asked the tour guide whom she had employed.The tour guide replied, "there are about ten islands but it would take a long time to check out each one of them. My guess is that whoever you are looking for is already dead. It would be best for you to give up and go back to Panama.""No, I cannot do that," Christy replied. "I will only give up when I am absolutely sure that Angelo is gone. Please I need your help to check these ten islands one after the other.""I cannot help you with that" the tour guide replied. "But I know someone who could and he even has a yacht. Only that it would cost you a whole lot of money.""Money is not the problem" Christy replied. "Just get me to him. I strongly believe Angelo is still alive." ~~~~~~~Isabella stood by the shore and rinsed her hair as well as her body. She once again looked behind her and smiled when she saw that Angelo still had his back on her.She liked this version o
Isabella and Angelo kept jumping and raising their hands. They stopped when it became obvious that the yacht was coming to them and happily hugged each other.The yacht finally stopped by the shore and Angelo and Isabella noticed that there were just two men inside it. One was the sailor while the other just stood there eating an apple.Apple was Isabella's favorite fruit and the moment she saw it, she began to salivate but, she knew that it was more important for them to get off the island so she controlled herself and smiled at the men.The men came down from the yacht and Angelo who was still wearing his briefs ran towards the rocks and took his trouser which had become dry because he didn't want to leave while wearing only his briefs.He also wore his singlet and took his white shirt for Isabella to wear since her red gown was still wet.When Angelo left, Isabella who still stood there noticed that the two men were staring at her body lustfully and suddenly felt uncomfortable.Ang
Isabella began coming down from the tree. Meanwhile, the man who had struck the stick on the back of Angelo's head ran to the yacht and took out a knife.Isabella saw him moving toward Angelo with the knife and ran to stop him as she screamed at the top of her voice, "Angelo, he's got a knife"Angelo slowly stood up from the ground and turned to face the man just as he stretched out the knife to stab Angelo, however, Isabella came in between the both of them.Isabella screamed as the knife was stabbed into her arm, close to her left cubital fossa. Angelo held the man's neck tightly with one of his hands, pulled out the knife from Isabella's arm, and stabbed the man in his shoulder. He pulled out the knife immediately and pushed the man backward, causing the man to start bleeding. The sailor at this point got up from the ground, ran back to the yacht, and turned it on.When the man who had been stabbed in his shoulder saw that the sailor was about to leave, he slowly ran to the yacht a
After hearing what Angelo said, Isabella kept silent and let him do what he wanted. It was true that they were currently in no position to fight off any attackers who might be drawn to them by the distress flag she had put up.When Angelo was done with the pole, he came to Isabella's side and helped her to sit up. "Let me see the stab wound," he said as he slowly unwrapped the piece of cloth from her injured arm.Isabella winced in pain and Angelo did his best to comfort her. Although he wasn't feeling so good himself, Angelo knew that he needed to be strong and assist Isabella as much as he could.As he stared at the wound, he looked at Isabella and said, "we have to sear the wound." Isabella knew that he was right but she still said, "no Angelo, I wouldn't be able to bear the pain."Angelo spoke calmly and said, "you will just have to bear it Isabella because we have no other choice. If this wound gets infected, you might have to be amputated eventually. Do you want that to happen?
Both Isabella and Angelo badly hoped that it wouldn't rain. Isabella remained on the floor while Angelo sat on the other side of the fire observing her.After a while, she sat up and said, "I feel very hungry and thirsty." Angelo realized that since they had coconuts in the morning, they hadn't eaten anything else as they had both been carried away by their predicament."I'll get the coconuts," he said while feeling grateful that they now had a knife. He took it to the water and washed as much as he could before breaking the coconuts on the rocks one after the other and sharing the water with Isabella.He took out the copra with the knife and handed some of it to Isabella while saying, "now, we at least get to chew like human beings."As she accepted the coconut and began eating, Isabella prayed silently that it wouldn't rain because if it did and her wound became wet, the pain in her arm would be unbearable.As it was, she couldn't even move her left arm. She hoped that it would beco
Isabella stood in front of Angelo, blocking his path. "Please I beg you, Angelo, don't go into the forest, we don't know what is in there.I know you are tired of eating coconuts and I understand how you feel but please listen, my arm is still in pain and I need you if something were to happen to you, what will become of me?"Angelo shook his head at Isabella, "and here I thought you were worried about me. You are just thinking about yourself.""We are saying the same thing Angelo" Isabella replied. "Just as I need to stay alive to help you, you also need to stay alive to help me."Isabella suddenly opened her eyes and said excitedly, "when I was inside the sea before I began to drown, I saw a lot of fishes.Now that you have a knife, and you are a strong swimmer, it would be quite easy for you to catch one or two fishes.At least you would still get to taste something else and it wouldn't be as dangerous as going into the forest."Angelo thought for a while and tapped Isabella on the
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. She covered her face with her hands and continued to cry, recalling how she had assured Mr. Zachary that she would not fail him. She felt even more disappointed in her
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. She recorded songs for herself but
"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? He was one of the wealthiest men in London and everyone said he was very ruthless. How could it be that thi
Zachary Fletcher stepped out of his palatial villa which was a stunning testament to his success and refined taste. Nestled in a picturesque location; Zach Estate, Mayfair was one of the most luxurious estates in London. His domestic staff lavished Zach with greetings but he merely nodded curtly and approached his Bugatti without noticing that his housekeeper and chef were staring at him longingly through the windows. His chauffeur, Tony, quickly ran and opened the back of his car, and after Zach sat down, Tony got into the front and began driving to Zachary Fletcher Conglomerate. On his way to the company, Zach made a phone call to his assistant, Luke, and asked, "Are you at the office?""Yes, sir," Luke replied."Good," Zach said and hung up.The moment he stepped out of his car, he began to make his way into the iconic skyscraper building. The CEO's personal office was on the highest floor. It was the only office on that floor and the most spacious in the building; offering panor
Paige Summers busied herself as she moved about, trying to ensure that all the guests were well cared for.She had been working since morning to make sure everything was perfect. It was the eighth-anniversary party of her father and stepmother. She wanted to be anywhere but there, but her father had warned that if she did not stay behind to take care of his guests, there would be dire consequences. As she moved around, serving the guests, they kept calling her here and there, and some even mistook her for the maid of the house. When she thought it was finally time for her to rest, her stepsister, Candy came out dressed in a beautiful, red, Valentino gown. One would think that it was her anniversary party judging by how much time she took to doll herself up.Once Candy was out, Paige began to hear different voices saying, "Wow! She looks like an angel!" "She's the daughter of Mr. Summers." "I heard she's a singer; one of the spark girls." "Have you seen her gown? it's from a top br
"How is it possible that each time I close my eyes, your face is the only thing I see? How do I tell you that when you are not with me, I get lovesick? How do I tell you that every second of my life is filled with thoughts of you? How do I tell you, Mr. Zach, that I have fallen head over heels in love with you?" - Paige ~~~~~~~ "From the moment I saw you, you became my reason for breathing. Even when darkness engulfs me, I only have to take one look at you and my world becomes bright again. I cannot live in a world without you in it. I love you, My Little Sunshine." - Zach. ~~~~~~~ They all said Zachary Fletcher was proud, ruthless, and callous but when eighteen years old Paige Summers was accused, disgraced, and left to die in the cold, Zach took her home and promised, "I will make you a star!" From that moment, she became his world. STORY TITLE; MY LITTLE SUNSHINE
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. However, I put her in her place. My dad didn't disappoint me also. He was the best father in the world. He had been so amazing i
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
