Angelo waited for Hamzat to be made conscious before going to stand in front of him again. As he stared at Angelo, Hamzat spat out blood from his mouth and began to laugh at him, "go ahead and kill me, Mr. Flores. No matter what you do, it will not change the fact that only I can control Isabella now. There's no need for you to be so sad or feel hopeless, I can order her to love you if you so desire."Angelo gritted his teeth in anger and balled his fist as he listened to Hamzat's words. Seeing how angry Angelo was with his one eye that wasn't covered in blood, made Hamzat laugh even harder, "no matter how upset you get, Angelo, you can't kill me. All I ask for is the hospital, it is nothing compared to how much money you have. You can also add some money for my stress.Mr. Flores, you both forced my hand otherwise, I would not have gone this far. It would be in your best interest to treat me well because Isabella will only do what I tell her and I can even order her to be your slave
Isabella recalled Hamzat's face. She recalled being told, "Hamzat is the one you love, you will do anything for him and even die for him. You trust him the most in this world. You hate Angelo Flores, he is evil and you must fight him whenever you see him. Hi, I am Hamzat."She shook her head and said to Angelo, "that's a lie. I vividly recall a different face bearing that name and you, I remember you as Angelo Flores."Angelo laughed, "young woman, how can I lie about my name? You must have hit your head during the accident and that's why you are imagining things. That name Angelo, I've never heard of it before."Isabella became confused, "what accident are you talking about?"Angelo feigned surprise, "don't tell me you don't remember the accident? Okay, if there was no accident, how did you end up here?"Isabella tried to recall being in an accident but she had no such memories. If the man in front of her was lying, then how did she end up stranded on an island?"Was she really imagi
"What do you think you are doing?" Isabella asked."I'm trying to get us help," Angelo replied. "Red is quite attractive so it's easier for someone to spot our distress flag if I put it up."Isabella stared at her thighs which were now exposed while Angelo went to the stick and brought it down, so he could tie the red cloth and hang it up again.When he was done with that, he climbed the coconut tree and fell some of the fruits before coming down. Isabella stood down staring at him in awe. When he came down, she said, "wow! That was impressive, I don't think I can climb a coconut tree.""Trust me, you can," Angelo replied."And how exactly do you know this?" Isabella asked.Angelo thought briefly and lied, "you told me on the ship." She smiled, "I seem to have said a lot to you on the ship. How did you even notice the coconut tree so quickly? I didn't know it was there?""I guess I'm just so amazing," Angelo replied with a smile.He showed Isabella how to break the coconuts on the ro
Angelo stared at Isabella in surprise, "why? Do you remember anything?""I do remember bumping into someone in a hospital with similar tattoos but I can't remember his face."Angelo became excited, "wow! That is amazing, it's progress and it means that eventually, all your memories will return."Isabella became hopeful, "do you really think so?""I am positive," Angelo replied. "When your memory gets back, it might turn out that we have unknowingly met before so let's just keep our fingers crossed."Isabella noticed that Angelo's mood had gotten better since she spoke about his tattoos. She could not tell if he was happier because she liked his tattoos or because she was able to recall something from her past. Whichever the case, she was pleased by his cheerful disposition.He picked up his clothes and said, "the weather is perfect for washing. I think you should consider taking advantage of it."Isabella had worn back her red gown when she woke up in the morning but now that Angelo h
Isabella smiled, "oh wow! Angelo, are you being serious right now?""I've never been more serious in my entire life," Angelo replied.Isabella suddenly began to have flashes. She was on a beach and a man held her hand as he proposed to her. She recalled that Angelo had said she was married before and thought that it must be her ex-husband but then she recalled the fireworks as well as the voice. It was exactly the same as that of the man in front of her. She pulled her hand away from Angelo just as he was about to put the improvised ring on her finger.Angelo stared at her in surprise, "what is it dear?" Isabella moved closer and gave Angelo her hand as she said, "I remember being proposed to on a beach and although I didn't see his face, the man's voice is the same as yours. Could my memory be playing tricks on me?"Angelo smiled, "don't worry, dear. If it is something that really happened, then it will come back to you fully. Just be patient.She nodded and caressed one side of his
Angelo caressed Isabella's cheeks, "I do not doubt your love for me, darling and I love you so much more. Now, let's go get married but after I take my bath."Isabella laughed and watched as Angelo went toward the water, brushed his teeth, and took his clothes off before taking his bath. When he was done, he put on his white shirt and black trousers. He saw that Isabella was staring at him and smiled, "I know that my shirt is not very clean but trust me, it is suitable for this occasion.”Isabella raised her hands in defense, "I never said otherwise. You look good by the way, Mr. Angelo Flores.”Angelo stood closer to the sea and said to her "it’s time to say our vows, my love!"As Isabella walked up to him with her wet hair covering the sides of her face, he stared at her and thought, "after today, we have just one day, Isabella. Tomorrow is the last day, so please come back to me because if my plan doesn't work and your memories don't return, I will be forced to go with plan B and
After making Isabella smile, Angelo was about to get some coconuts for them to celebrate their marriage when a strong wind began to blow. It was so strong that Angelo wondered if they were about to experience a tornado. He had seen nothing about it when he checked the weather forecast for the week before coming to the island, otherwise, he would have concluded his plans earlier. Both he and Isabella covered their eyes as particles on the ground as well as sand began to fly about.Isabella began to scream so Angelo moved in her direction while his eyes were still closed and took her with him as he fell on his back.He turned their bodies so he would be on top and protected her from the sand. He didn't know how long it was going to last but he was willing to protect her for as long as possible, even if it took all day. She wrapped her arms around his back, holding tightly to his body while he kept his eyes closed and covered her face with his body.He could feel different particles f
Angelo smiled, "it's either you imagined it or you are seeing the future. Your husband would not lie to you so trust me and don't be anxious. Your memories will return sooner than you think and then you can confidently distinguish between your dreams and reality."Isabella thought about it and nodded, "I guess you are right, my love. I will ignore these confusing flashes and wait patiently for when my memories will return. They both stared at each other for a while before getting up to brush their teeth. Isabella told Angelo that she wanted them to bathe together as they did the previous day. However, Angelo did not want to do so because he knew that his final plan would commence at any moment.Since he wasn't with a wristwatch, he didn't know what time precisely it would happen but he had specifically given instructions for it to happen early in the morning.He thought about the best way to stall Isabella and said, "let's have breakfast first, after that we can talk about having a b
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
