Angelo opened his eyes in surprise, "does your mummy know this?"Mirabella shook her head, "mummy doesn't know. She has been very busy and that is why uncle Hamzat brought me to the hospital so I can see her."Angelo thought about it and felt there was something fishy. In order to be sure, he asked Mirabella, "is your mummy fat or slim?""My mummy is slim." She replied. Now Angelo became convinced that Mirabella's mother was deliberately hiding from him. The nanny must have been ordered by Mirabella's mother to do what she did but Mirabella wouldn't know because she was a child.This meant that even if she came here, she was going to hide, the moment she saw him. Since she worked here, it meant she was doctor Elle's employee. If he asked doctor Elle to help him fish out Mirabella's mother, would she be willing to help him?No, that wasn't proper. If it turned out that doctor Elle was Isabella, she may not be happy to hear that he had a child with another woman. At least he needed to r
After getting ready, Angelo left his hotel room in a haste but he wasn't feeling too good so he stopped by a pharmacy and got some pain relievers.When he arrived at Mirabella's school, all the children had gone into their classes, including Mirabella.Angelo met the same lady whom he had met last time at the reception. The lady smiled when she saw him and Angelo heaved a sigh of relief. Since the lady was friendly, he was convinced that she would let him see Mirabella.However, when Angelo told her that he wanted to meet his daughter, her reply was, "I'm sorry but she is in class learning at the moment and you can't meet her without the consent of her guardian."Angelo stared at her in surprise, "are you kidding me? I've been here before and you know that I'm her father, I just need a few seconds with her."The lady shook her head, "I understand that you are familiar with her but there are rules here and I can lose my job if I break them. Only her guardian has the right to see her du
Isabella pushed Angelo with both her hands. He pretended to stagger backward but quickly turned when his back touched the door and locked it.Isabella realized that Angelo had trapped her and quickly picked up the phone to call security but Angelo hurriedly took the phone away from her.She decided to scream for help but Angelo covered her mouth with his hand. Isabella struggled hard and ended up biting Angelo. He flinched and let go of her mouth while Isabella yelled at him, "what exactly is your problem? How many times will I tell you that I am not the person you are looking for? Stop trying to force me into becoming whoever it is you have lost or better still, get a doctor to look at your brain which I am now convinced is defective.Angelo smiled bitterly, "do you really hate me so much, Isabella? Even after Mirabella has confirmed that you are her mum, are you still going to play games with me?"Isabella stared at Angelo in surprise. She had completely ignored the possibility tha
Angelo leaned on Isabella's table and wondered what she meant when she said that she belonged to someone else. He didn't understand her relationship with Hamzat but he knew that it was beyond workmates since it was enough to make her push him away.He wasn't mistaken about something though. The love letter Isabella left for him years ago, was still neatly kept in his house. He had reread it like a million times and could say every single line by heart.He felt her love for him each time he recalled those words and her reaction to him confirmed it. She had kissed him back and wanted him just as much as he wanted her. This meant that he still had a chance.Whatever her relationship with Hamzat was, it didn't matter. This was the time for him to be shameless and he wasn't going to stop until he had his wife back. Despite everything, he was extremely happy. Isabella was still alive and that was the most important thing. She had punished him for far too long but not anymore.He came out o
When Angelo took Mirabella towards his car, her nanny ran to him and tried to stop him by reminding him that it was her job to take Mirabella home.Angelo smiled and asked her, "where is home?"The nanny stared at him without knowing what to say. She couldn't tell him where they lived without Isabella's consent. It wasn't her place.When she refused to answer, Angelo opened the door of his car once again to put Mirabella inside it but the nanny held his arm and pleaded, "please Mr. Angelo, don't put me into trouble with my boss. I am only a nanny and I'm not allowed to give out our address to anyone. Why don't you ask doctor Elle to give you the address?"Angelo smiled at the nanny again and handed Mirabella to her, "I won't make things difficult for you so go ahead. As you said, I will just ask someone else about it.Mirabella, can you tell me where your address is?"The nanny watched in surprise as Mirabella said, "yes, it's in moonlight estate."The nanny quickly turned and took Mi
The anger on Isabella's face did not disappear, the only thing she could think of was to kick Angelo out of her house.Before she could say anything, however, Mirabella held her hand excitedly and said, "mummy, Angelo said he is my daddy. Is it true?"Isabella shifted her gaze to her daughter who was looking up at her. She softened her expression and bent down to Mirabella's level, "yes, Angelo is your daddy." She replied in a low voice.Mirabella smiled widely, "can I call him daddy?"Isabella laughed, "yes you can, my love." Mirabella turned to Angelo and said, "daddy.""Yes, princess," he replied.Mirabella turned to her mum once again and asked, "can daddy stay in my room?"Isabella stared at her without knowing what to say. She knew that Mirabella would not rest until she got an answer. She looked up at Angelo and decided that she wouldn't give in just because of Mirabella.She hugged her and said, "I'm sorry my love but your daddy cannot stay here. He has to go back to his own
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"?"
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
