Isabella began coming down from the tree. Meanwhile, the man who had struck the stick on the back of Angelo's head ran to the yacht and took out a knife.Isabella saw him moving toward Angelo with the knife and ran to stop him as she screamed at the top of her voice, "Angelo, he's got a knife"Angelo slowly stood up from the ground and turned to face the man just as he stretched out the knife to stab Angelo, however, Isabella came in between the both of them.Isabella screamed as the knife was stabbed into her arm, close to her left cubital fossa. Angelo held the man's neck tightly with one of his hands, pulled out the knife from Isabella's arm, and stabbed the man in his shoulder. He pulled out the knife immediately and pushed the man backward, causing the man to start bleeding. The sailor at this point got up from the ground, ran back to the yacht, and turned it on.When the man who had been stabbed in his shoulder saw that the sailor was about to leave, he slowly ran to the yacht a
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?
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
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
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
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
