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
Angelo on the other hand wondered if Isabella would protest if he tried to take off the shirt she was wearing because it was wet. He was wearing only his trouser and couldn't take it off but his upper body was bare.Isabella had refused to come to him even when the rain was directly falling on her. He knew he had been harsh towards her earlier but that was because she kept talking about an issue that was very sensitive to him. After a while of not speaking to each other, Angelo suddenly decided to break the silence. "Your shirt is wet so I'm going to take it off."Isabella just stared at Angelo without a word as he slowly unbuttoned the shirt she was wearing. She closed her eyes because she knew that she was going to be completely naked.However, Angelo did not open all the buttons. He left the last two so Isabella wouldn't be completely naked. After helping her to free her upper body from the shirt, Angelo laid back down and pulled Isabella with him. Isabella realized that Angelo j
After running for a few seconds, Isabella stopped. What was the need for her to run away if Angelo was going to be killed? No, she was going to fight together with him and if they lost and those men tried to have their way with her, she would drown herself in the sea.She knew though that Angelo would never agree so, she bent and slowly walked toward the rocks. She picked up a stick and hid behind the rocks where no one would see her.Her arm was in a lot of pain because her wound had become wet but she was more worried about something else at this point and struggled to control her rapidly beating heart.Angelo waited until the yacht stopped in front of the beach and opened his eyes in surprise. Two men were surprised to see him but he was more surprised by the third person.He dropped the knife on the floor just as Christy ran to him and hugged him. She began to cry and place kisses all over Angelo's face while he just stared at her.Christy hugged him again and refused to let him g
Angelo held Isabella's hand and said, "let's go."Isabella began to feel self-conscious because she wasn't wearing anything underneath. She contemplated wearing her panty but thought better of it. She knew it had not been properly washed for days and she would wear it if she had no other choice but now that she was leaving the island, she couldn't bring herself to wear it again.She picked up the knife and placed it with the sticks while telling Angelo that it was meant to help anyone who found him or herself stranded on the island.She said hi to Christy and the two men who were looking at her in surprise. Isabella picked up her bra and panty and threw them inside the sea after which Angelo helped her get on the yacht.Christy tried her best to sound polite and said, "it's good to see you alive Isabella.""I guess I should thank you for coming to save Angelo and me" Isabella replied.The younger man wondered if something was wrong with Angelo. Isabella looked unkempt, her hair was d
Christy stared at the door Angelo had shut and wondered what both he and Isabella were doing inside. She wanted to knock on the door but she had no idea what to say when Angelo opened the door.The younger of the two men noticed how Christy kept staring at the door and decided to lend her his hand. "Can you help me tell Mr. Flores that I would like to ask him a few questions?" Christy nodded happily and quickly went down to knock on the door.Angelo and Isabella had gotten carried away. He was undoing the buttons of her shirt while kissing her when they heard a knock on the door. They both became startled while Angelo quickly let go of Isabella's shirt and ended their kiss. They stared at each other and began to laugh. When Christy knocked on the door again, Angelo got up and opened it. He smiled at Christy when he saw her while she stared at him with so much longing, wishing she could at least get the opportunity to be held in his arms.She saw Isabella lying on her bed and promis
Angelo explained how he first woke up on the island and thought he was the only one who survived and how he turned to the other part of the island in hopes of finding a ship or food. In the end, he found Isabella on top of a coconut tree.He also spoke about how they ate only coconuts and how frustrated it made them feel, how he wanted to go into the forest to hunt but Isabella wouldn't let him, and how he caught two fishes and ended up burning them.He further spoke about how challenging it was to brush their teeth and how Isabella almost drowned. How it rained heavily at night and they were forced to keep each other warm while sleeping on wet palm fronds.Christy felt her heart skip a beat as she believed that Angelo must have had sex with Isabella in order to keep warm. That explained why they had become so close.She couldn't help but blame herself for pushing Isabella off the cliff. In the end, her actions brought the two enemies closer and now they seemed inseparable.Angelo las
Angelo held Isabella's hand while they both ignored the weird stares they were getting from people. They got into a cab and arrived at the hotel in no time since it was very close to the harbor.As they passed by the conference hall, one of the organizers saw Angelo as he came out of the hall. He quickly walked up to him and greeted both him and Isabella happily."I am so happy that the both of you are alive, we thought you two were dead when the divers couldn't find you. I know you have both been through a lot and deserve enough rest so I won't take up too much of your time. But where is your wife?"Angelo looked at the man in surprise and while pointing at Isabella replied, "this is my wife."The man became surprised. "The other lady who was with you, Christabel Flores, said that she's your wife and you two were even seen together on the day of the conference."Angelo finally understood while Isabella stared at the both of them in silence. "She is not my wife but my employee" Angelo
Isabella returned Angelo's kisses and after kissing her for a while, he stopped and took off his singlet. He began undoing the buttons on her shirt once again but paused when he heard a grumbling sound.Isabella placed her hand on her belly as it made another grumbling noise. "Are you hungry?" Angelo asked.Isabella nodded her head and covered her face as she felt embarrassed that her stomach chose to complain at the wrong time.Angelo led her to the bed while he picked up the landline. He asked Isabella what she would like to eat and she said she was willing to eat any food that tasted good as long as it didn't have any connection with coconuts.Angelo laughed and ordered two plates of food and he was told that it would take a while. He decided to take a shower while they waited for the food to arrive.As he went into the bathroom, Isabella decided to look around for her phone. She vividly remembered leaving it behind on the day she went to the conference but she wasn't sure where sh
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
