ELLALucas directed me to the most beautiful resort I had ever been to. I was surprised that it belonged to him.It had a high-rise hotel and Lucas led me into the building. We ended up on the highest floor and got into one of the suites. It was beautifully furnished but I was surprised that Lucas had the key card with him. "How did you know that we would end up coming here?" I asked him.He smiled. "Well, I didn't know for a fact. "Before now, I had thought of bringing you here but something happened, and, of course, you know what happened, and our plans got ruined.When I had this hotel built, I reserved this room for myself. I always came here alone. Once in a while I would gaze at the stars and enjoy their beauty.""That's weird," I replied.Lucas threw his head back and laughed, "I guess you have to experience it, my dear in order to understand how amazing it is."I had no interest in looking at the stars but since Lucas thought it was amazing, who was I to say otherwise."Lucas
ELLAI smiled and said, "Yes, Dad, I have gotten back together with Lucas." My dad got up."No, I'm not having it," he said angrily as he began to walk out of the living room. I ran after him. He got into his bedroom and I quickly followed. As he sat on the bed, I sat beside him and said, "Dad, please. I understand that you love me and want the best for me, but please don't separate Lucas and me."My dad shook his head. "Don't you understand? I want the best for you, Ella, and it's not Lucas. He's already too old for you, and then there's the issue of his daughter. I do not want you to keep being in the middle of all that drama. You deserve better, someone that doesn't have baggage, and Lucas has baggage, and that is his daughter. I don't want that. I don't want a situation where you keep crying and being depressed. Besides, you're too young. You should focus more on your education.""Come on, Dad," I said. "You know better that being with Lucas doesn't affect my education in any w
LUCASI kept staring at Ella as I realized she was hesitating to leave. However, when I insisted and said, "Please leave," she turned and walked out. I noticed her stand by the door, staring at us as I sat beside my ex, Nova. Yes, Nova was named after her mom. At the time, I thought I had lost her, so I named the baby Nova so she could remind me of the woman I had lost. But now I had both Novas sitting in front of me, and saying I was not shocked was going to be a lie. Ella stared at us for a while, but she finally turned and walked away. Now I needed to ask Nova the big question, so I asked, "What happened all these years? Where have you been? We all thought you were dead. Your daughter and I struggled to look after each other, thinking you were no longer in this world and suddenly you're coming out from nowhere?"She tried to speak, but then tears began to fall from her eyes. I had no idea what she had been through, but I knew that whatever her story was, we had to listen to it. A
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
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
"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
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
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
