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?

  • NO ONE ELSE COMES CLOSE   STOP BEING SO CREEPY

    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

    "Why do you keep staring at me? Is there something on my face?" Angelo couldn't help asking Isabella because he felt she was acting weird. Ever since he came out of the water, he realized she was acting differently around him.He completely believed that Isabella was head over heels in love with Steve so he did not read any such meaning into her actions. He just felt she was acting really weird. 'Could something have happened to her while he was inside the water?' He thought to himself.Despite Isabella's protests, Angelo took the stick from her and made sure she didn't squat anymore. He ordered her to open her mouth and when she did, he slowly began to brush her teeth.Isabella could feel her heart beating fast. Angelo seemed so focused on what he was doing that Isabella could not help but wonder who the real Angelo was.No man had ever brushed her teeth for her before and Angelo was the last person she expected to do something like that. The fact was that Angelo didn't really need

    Isabella decided to keep quiet and watch Angelo roast the fish to his heart's content. Although it wasn't something she had done before, the way it looked made her doubt if Angelo was good at this.Angelo soon finished roasting and took out the fish from the fire with his knife. He happily cut one of the fishes into two and was shocked to see that even the insides were completely burnt.He cut the second one into two and noticed the same thing. Refusing to believe his eyes, he cut open every part of the fish completely and threw everything sadly on the floor.He looked at Isabella and noticed that she was trying hard not to laugh. "What the hell do you find funny? I merely caught the wrong fishes that's all."Isabella smiled at him, "you just murdered those innocent fishes for no reason. Now that you have finished roasting your fish, please help me with the coconuts."Angelo grudgingly stood up and broke one coconut for Isabella. When he broke the second one, he drank the water and be

  • NO ONE ELSE COMES CLOSE   MY LITTLE ISABELLA

    Isabella realized that Angelo was not thinking about his actions. With her injured arm still raised and her right hand on his shoulder, she lightly kneed him in his crotch.Angelo quickly let go of her and placed his hand on his bulging length which was now throbbing with pain.Isabella ran to the side and picked up Angelo's shirt which she had dropped on the ground. She dusted it and tried to quickly put it on but it was difficult for her because her left hand had been up for too long.Angelo saw her struggling with the shirt and walked away without sparing her another glance. He sat by the rocks feeling angry with himself for losing control and with Isabella for hurting him in such a sensitive part of his body.After finally wearing Angelo's white shirt, Isabella took her panty and bra and tried to wash them with just one hand. When she was done, she took them one after the other and laid on rocks.She noticed that Angelo sat on the floor with a sulky look on his face and recalled

  • NO ONE ELSE COMES CLOSE   WE ONLY HAVE EACH OTHER

    After being quiet for a long time, Isabella finally spoke up, "what if we end up spending the next six months on this island, what do you think would happen?"Angelo thought for a while before answering, "I hope that we do not have to stay stranded on this island for that long, however, if we end up being so unfortunate, so many things would change.My stubble would grow into long beards, turning me into a complete bushman."Isabella laughed really hard and when she stopped, Angelo continued, "it would be worse for you because you will have to move about naked.I doubt that your panty would last for that long. We will also have to start entering the forest to look for food because my teeth are already feeling sore from constantly chewing coconuts.""Me too" Isabella chipped in."To be honest Isabella, the thought of being stuck here on this island scares me a lot. Do you think we would ever get out of this island?"Isabella sighed, "I don't know Angelo but hope is all I have, if I giv

    Angelo on the other hand wondered if Isabella would protest if he tried to take off the shirt she was wearing because it was wet. He was wearing only his trouser and couldn't take it off but his upper body was bare.Isabella had refused to come to him even when the rain was directly falling on her. He knew he had been harsh towards her earlier but that was because she kept talking about an issue that was very sensitive to him. After a while of not speaking to each other, Angelo suddenly decided to break the silence. "Your shirt is wet so I'm going to take it off."Isabella just stared at Angelo without a word as he slowly unbuttoned the shirt she was wearing. She closed her eyes because she knew that she was going to be completely naked.However, Angelo did not open all the buttons. He left the last two so Isabella wouldn't be completely naked. After helping her to free her upper body from the shirt, Angelo laid back down and pulled Isabella with him. Isabella realized that Angelo j

  • NO ONE ELSE COMES CLOSE   WE WOULD DIE TOGETHER

    After running for a few seconds, Isabella stopped. What was the need for her to run away if Angelo was going to be killed? No, she was going to fight together with him and if they lost and those men tried to have their way with her, she would drown herself in the sea.She knew though that Angelo would never agree so, she bent and slowly walked toward the rocks. She picked up a stick and hid behind the rocks where no one would see her.Her arm was in a lot of pain because her wound had become wet but she was more worried about something else at this point and struggled to control her rapidly beating heart.Angelo waited until the yacht stopped in front of the beach and opened his eyes in surprise. Two men were surprised to see him but he was more surprised by the third person.He dropped the knife on the floor just as Christy ran to him and hugged him. She began to cry and place kisses all over Angelo's face while he just stared at her.Christy hugged him again and refused to let him g

    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?

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.

    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.
