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
Isabella noticed that Angelo was lying on the ground and gasped in surprise. She began to shake him as she said, "wake up, Angelo. What happened? What are we doing here and where is our daughter?"When Angelo did not respond, she looked at his body and noticed that his singlet was stained with blood. She felt a sharp pain in her heart and looked around her once again.Nothing made sense to her. She knew they had once been stranded on the island but she could not understand how she was in the same place years later with practically the same clothes. She turned her attention to Angelo once again and checked his wrist for a pulse.When she noticed he had a pulse, she heaved a sigh of relief. She placed her hand on his stained singlet and said, "I will stop the bleeding." She slowly pulled the singlet up and was shocked to see that there was no injury on his body. She rubbed her hand on his belly and smelled his supposed blood and was surprised that it smelled like tomato ketchup. She in
Isabella and Angelo came out of the bathroom feeling excited. She was so impressed with Angelo. He seemed to have been confident that she would get better since he kept everything she would need. Fresh clothes, shoes, comb, makeup, and so on.The only thing she lacked was a dryer but it did not matter. She was going to let the sea breeze dry her hair for her.Angelo also changed into a new set of clothes. He went to stand behind Isabella who was staring at her reflection in the mirror and wrapped his arms around her waist.She turned and circled her arms around his neck, "you look handsome and dashing, husband."Angelo chuckled, "do I now? You always find me handsome no matter what I wear. Even when I was putting on rags on the island, you could not take your eyes off of me. You kept stealing glances at me."Isabella laughed, "are you talking about five years ago or recently?""Both," Angelo replied."Well, it's your fault for being too irresistible. I can stare at you all day and I s
Angelo stared at Isabella and said, "you should go back home, my love. Go be with your parents and I will bring our daughter to you, I promise."Isabella shook her head, "no, I don't want to, let's go get her together."Angelo sighed, "don't you trust me?""Of course, I trust you," Isabella replied."Then go back home and relax and I will bring our daughter."Tears fell from Isabella's eyes but she nodded and wiped them. Angelo made a phone call and said, "get Hamzat ready for me. I am coming to pick him up."Angelo drove Isabella to her house where her parents were staying. She hugged him before coming out of the car. She did not go inside the house immediately but stood outside waving at Angelo until he finally drove off.She walked back sadly into her house with a heavy heart. Hamzat and his sister were really out to make her miserable whereas she had treated them with nothing but love, respect, and honesty in the past.When her mum saw her, she happily took her into her arms while
Hamzat stared at Nelly and also began to cry. When he opened his mouth to speak, he suddenly fell to the ground and his body began to shake as he started to foam in the mouth.Nelly screamed and tried to hold him still but he would not stop shaking."What happened to you? What did he do to you?" She asked.He suddenly stopped moving as he felt a bit of relief. "Angelo poisoned me," he managed to say while Nelly stared at him in shock.She quickly dialed Angelo's line to ask him about the poison. Angelo smiled when he saw her call.He answered and said, "I thought you would never call, Nelly.""Please, spare my brother's life," she begged. Angelo stared at Mirabella in the back seat as she happily gorged on her ice cream and said, "the poison in your brother's body will kill him in one hour if he doesn't get the antidote.Now, I so badly want your brother to live which is why I made a way out for him. There's a police station at Ferguson street. An officer has the antidote and is waiti
FIFTEEN YEARS LATERMIRABELLA'S POVI hurried out of the house in a frenzy while my dad who was reading a business magazine shook his head and laughed. "Drive safely," my mum said as I got into my car."Thanks, mum, I love you," I replied to my mum and ignored my little brother, Cameron who was waiting to hitch a ride with me because he did not want my mum to drop him off at school.I had a chemistry test today and could not afford to miss it. All my life I had always wanted two things; to be as intelligent as my mum and graduate as the best student in my set, and to find a man who was just like my dad; charming, capable, strong, and very romantic.I was nineteen, in my fourth year in college, and studying gynecology. I was the best in my class, well, not every session. Nova Keeler, my archenemy was my biggest competition in class as we always tried to one-up each other. There were times when she beat me but most times I topped her. Our hatred for each other was mutual and when I fou
MIRABELLAI stared at Nova again and decided to do my research first. Sure she had some resemblance to Lucas Keeler and their names were similar but that could be a coincidence, right? Anything to convince myself of everything else but reality.I walked to a quiet spot in my college and began to search for Nova on social media. I found her Instagram account easily and like me, she wasn't an active user. I browsed through the few pictures she had and finally noticed one with Mr. Lucas in it.It was his birthday and she was holding onto his cake. She referred to him as the world's best dad and praised his age as the big thirty-eight. I felt a tightening in my stomach. The first and only man I had ever fallen in love with was the father of my archenemy.How could I let him go so easily? No, it did not mean anything. He was Lucas and not Nova so they were different. I had confidence in my beauty. My mum said all the time; that I was the more beautiful version of her and my mum was quite b
NOVAAfter writing my chemistry test, I felt happy because I knew I was going to Ace it. I could tell that Ella did not do well from how she seemed sad and uncomfortable. Nothing would make me happier than to see her come in last place. She was too full of herself and thought she was better than me. She may have beaten me a few times but I was determined to show her that I was better and more intelligent than her.My victory would be complete though if I could get Aiden to be mine. He was so hot and I had liked him from the moment I saw him. At first, it was just a crush but eventually, I fell in love. In my second year, I had been so lovesick that I had to leave hints for him. I cried about it to my dad who was my best friend but he asked me to forget about Aiden, saying he wasn't worthy of me. It was so hard, seeing him every day and not being able to get close to him.When I threw subtle hints at him, he initially acted as though he was going to ask me out but he suddenly stopped e
