Angelo held Isabella's face and wiped her tears with his thumbs. His eyes held hers as he moved his face closer until their lips touched.Isabella's hands moved from Angelo's back to his waist. She clutched his shirt with both hands as they began to kiss. Angelo slowly pushed Isabella back into her room, one of his hands left her face as he shut the door behind him.His hands went lower and slowly undid the buttons of her Pyjamas before taking the top off. Her breasts were revealed before him and as he cupped them with his hands, a memory flashed into his mind and he saw himself doing the same thing.Angelo ignored it as he believed that it was probably from his dreams about having a moment like this with Isabella. He had seen it one too many times that he feared that what he was experiencing was also a dream.He didn't want to wake up and find out that it wasn't real so he promised himself that this time, he would remain in this dream forever.He lifted Isabella and placed her on th
Angelo stared at Isabella in surprise, "first of all, Isabella I don't go to places like 'Buna Casue.' The idea that I sent you a text to meet up with me there is impossible.Secondly, Isabella, I know that I neglected and didn't treat you right because of my misguided hatred toward your parents but I would never dishonor you in that way."Isabella shook her head and wanted to speak but Angelo said, "please hold on and listen, let me finish. When I didn't know you too well, I thought you were a loose girl but while we were stranded on the island, I got to know you better.From the moment I learned that you were still a virgin, I respected your honor in every way possible, If you can still remember. I may not recall what happened that night in detail but I know for a fact that I did not set you up.On that fateful day when I saw you and Steve on the same bed, I woke up at 'Buna Casue' in the room beside yours and saw Christy by my side."Isabella stared at him in surprise, "Christy"?"
Isabella picked up her phone and dialed Steve's number. He answered the call when it rang the second time and asked, "Isa, is everything okay?"Isabella did not want to accuse Steve when she wasn't sure of his involvement in Christy's schemes but she feared that if what Christy said were true, then Steve was capable of denying the truth and playing her for a fool once again.She sighed, "Steve, five years ago when you joined hands with Christy to destroy my life, did you stop to think about how I would feel?"The moment he heard Isabella's question, Steve knew that she had discovered the truth. "I am so sorry Isa. What I did was wrong and I haven't been able to forgive myself for it.I was desperate and when Christy reached out to me and told me that she had a plan to separate you and Angelo, I went along with her because I wanted to have you back in my life."Isabella closed her eyes as tears fell from them. "Please forgive me, Isabella," Steve said."Good night, Steve," Isabella re
Isabella did not know what to feel, everything suddenly felt surreal, it seemed too good to be true. How could it be that things finally worked out for her? She had gotten used to the idea that she would never be with the one her heart truly desired because there was bad blood between them.Angelo had managed to bridge the wide gap between them, after five years. He had come to realize that he was mistaken about her family but did this mean she could feel at ease?She could not bear to get hurt once again, she felt happy and excited but more than that, she felt fear. Would she wake up in the morning and realize that everything had been a figment of her imagination?"Angelo," she whispered, "are you really here in front of me? Is it possible that I am dreaming right now and would wake up to find no trace of you?"Angelo smiled, "I can understand how you feel, Isabella. It's the same for me. Being here with you right now is a dream come true so I have this fear that once morning comes,
Isabella opened her eyes and stretched her body. She looked at the time and saw that it was a few minutes past six.She recalled what happened between her and Angelo last night and turned but there was no sign of him. She looked around the room but couldn't find any proof that Angelo had been in her room, even her bed was neatly arranged, except for the part where she slept in.She sat upright and thought back to the activities of the night. Angelo had assured her of his love and cleared all the misunderstandings they had.He made love to her, first in the bedroom and then in the bathroom, under the shower and it was magical. When they left the bathroom, they spoke for a while before making love once again.She was so sure she passed out from exhaustion as she could not remember what happened after that. Everything was so real, she could still feel the taste of Angelo's lips on her own as though it happened a few minutes ago. How could she have dreamed all that?If it was only a dream
Isabella smiled happily, "yes, of course, I'll love to go on a date with you."Angelo lifted Isabella off the ground while she squealed in excitement. "Okay, princess," he said. "You stay in bed, enjoy your breakfast, and leave everything to me."He placed Isabella on the bed and brought the tray of food to her, placing it in front of her on the bed.Isabella sat up and tasted the food. She stared at him in surprise, "wow! Your skills have truly improved. In that case, you are allowed to brag.How come you aren't eating? Do you want us to share the spoon?"Angelo chuckled, "right now, I just want to watch you eat because this moment is special to me."Isabella shook her head, "you have completely changed Angelo. Who knew you were capable of saying such sweet words?"Angelo did not argue with Isabella because he had not forgotten all the cruel words he said to her in the past. He just hoped that someday, Isabella would be able to forget all the bad times and remember only the good."So
Angelo smiled at Mirabella and took her to a corner, "listen, princess, where I'm taking your mummy, children are not allowed to enter.I will buy ice cream for you and tomorrow I will take both you and your mummy to ride the Ferris wheel. Wouldn't you like that?""I will like that," Mirabella replied excitedly."That's good," Angelo added. "stay with your nanny and do your homework and I promise that tomorrow will be 'world Mirabella's day'."After coaxing Mirabella, Angelo and Isabella kissed her goodbye and left. Isabella was surprised and said to Angelo, "I kept thinking about what to say to her to convince her to stay behind but you handled it so perfectly."Angelo smiled, "I am her father afterall, so it shouldn't be so hard to get her to do my bidding.""I am just glad that you are now with us," Isabella said as she intertwined her fingers with Angelo's.Angelo took Isabella to a ritzy restaurant. She noticed he had already made a reservation as their table had been designed s
Angelo woke up quite early in the morning and made breakfast for his princesses while the nanny got Mirabella ready for school.They all ate together after which Angelo said, "today, I'll take Mirabella to school and drop her off before coming back."Mirabella said goodbye to Isabella and got into Angelo's car while he drove her to school. When they arrived, the lady at the counter noticed that Angelo was the one who brought Mirabella to school.She smiled and waved at him. Angelo waved back. He had entered the school compound with Mirabella and just before she left for her class, he got on his knees and hugged her tightly."I love you, princess and I will miss you so much.""I love you too Daddy and I will miss you so much," Mirabella replied.Angelo smiled and tapped one of his cheeks with his finger. Mirabella moved much closer to him, held his face with her little hands, and kissed his cheek. "Goodbye daddy," she said before running inside.Angelo stood for a while smiling until h
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
