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 herself. She knew without a doubt that what happened was not an accident, but she couldn't understand why she was so unfortunate.Before the show began, Mr. Zachary had called his assistant, Luke to come to the venue. When Luke arrived, he helped Mr. Zachary find a spot where no one would recognize him.Mr. Zachary didn't want anyone to be aware of his presence, except a few organizers who needed to know.Upon seeing Paige run out of the hall, he shook his head and sent a text to Luke, saying, "Check on Paige and let me know where she went."Luke quietly followed Paige, saw how she hid by a pillar, crying, and informed Zachary.Zach walked up to her, still ensuring that no one was able to recognize him as he wore a hat to disguise his appearance.When he got to where she was, Zach asked, "Why are you crying?"Hearing his voice, Paige looked up to see him. She instantly got up, still clutching the torn gown in her hand as she struggled to cover her bra top."I asked you why you're crying," Zachary said, repeating himself as he noticed how the short gown revealed too much of her fair skin."I'm very sorry, Mr. Zachary," she said, sobbing. "Something went wrong with the clothes. I... I don't know... I don't know how it snapped.""You should not have left the stage," Zachary said coldly."I'm sorry. I'm sorry if I disappointed you. Everyone was staring at me, and I felt... I felt like a failure.""Interesting," Zachary said.Folding his arms, he asked, "Are you a failure, Paige?"*Hi Guys, the title of this story is, "My Little Sunshine." You can find it among my stories. I hope you enjoy it.❤️Tisha Stewart opened her eyes and realized that she was on a bed. She looked around her and noticed that she was in a hotel room. She got up from the bed but almost fell due to lightheadedness.She sat back down on the bed and tried to recall how she ended up in a hotel room. She looked at her body, she was wearing an extremely short and revealing, red skin-tight gown.She gasped in surprise before getting up from the bed and going to stand before the mirror. The heels she had on were so high that missing a step would surely see her falling on the ground, the makeup on her face was very thick and her hair was styled weirdly, her look was nothing short of a whore. As she stared at her reflection, the events of the day finally came back to her and she recalled how she ended up in the room.She suddenly became afraid and looked around her for a weapon. The only thing she could find was the lamp beside the bed. She inspected it and realized that it could perfectly pass for a weapon.Just
Earlier That DayTisha's hand shivered on her way home. She had just finished her three months internship program yesterday and was already planning to return home when her dad called her to say that his health condition had deteriorated and he needed to see her.Her father was the only family she had left since her mum died when she was little. She wasn't close with her dad's extended family since they never liked her mum.She had studied business management in college at the request of her father who wanted her to take over the reins of his company when she was ready. She had even done her internship in a much bigger company because she wanted to get enough experience to enable her to take her dad's company to greater heights.Although his company was into manufacturing, importation, and exportation of goods, it wasn't at the top. It was just average but Tisha was willing to make it one of the best which was the reason why she put so much effort into learning during her internship p
Spencer looked at his watch and decided that it was time to leave. They weren't able to come to an agreement during the meeting because the terms that were offered were not favorable to his father's company.Just then, a few waiters came into the room and served dinner with some bottles of wine. They were about four men in total with three being from the other company. Spencer had come alone because he was personally in charge of closing this deal and the meeting was held in a high-end resort.Spencer didn't eat much in the morning and was so busy that he skipped his lunch. He was already feeling hungry so when the food was brought to him, he decided to eat. He had not eaten more than half of the food on his plate and had drunk only a glass of wine when Spencer began to feel hot inside. His libido suddenly became high and he wondered why. Contrary to Jack, he was someone who barely had sex because he buried most of his time into his work since he was the one his dad choose to take ov
After Tisha lost consciousness in her father's house and woke up in Mr. Kingston's hotel room, she feared for her innocence. Her virginity was something she wanted to keep until she got married.However, when Spencer pulled her into his room and kissed her, she immediately understood what was happening. With his status, she was aware that Spencer would never pull a random woman into his room and try to have sex with her.He had definitely mistaken her for someone else. Although she had a crush on him, she was scared. Everyone knew he had a fiancee and she had always thought he was a decent man. She never pegged him for a man who picked up prostitutes.She had wanted to tell him about her predicament but after realizing that he was someone who could cheat on his fiancee, she couldn't bring herself to say anything. If he knew that she wasn't the one he was waiting for, he would surely kick her out Of his room.The men of that sleazebag were desperately looking for her and if Spencer wer
Spencer opened his eyes and stretched his body. After a few minutes of disorientation, he recalled the steamy night he had spent with an escort. She was quite sweet as he was sure he had never enjoyed sex so much. Perhaps it was the effects of the drugs. He was certainly going to deal with those men who had set him up. If their company did not close down before the end of the day, then he wasn't Spencer Grant.He saw Tisha's gown on his bed and her shoes on the floor and assumed that she was in the bathroom. He stared at her shoes again and chuckled, "how do they even walk in these?"He recalled how uncomfortable the shoes had made her last night and laughed even more. She had served him well so he was going to give her a good tip. He began to look around for his phone, forgetting that he had tossed it last night.He kept looking around for it and lifted the sheets which Tisha had carefully covered. She had hoped that Spencer would not notice it before leaving because she felt they w
When Tisha walked out of Spencer's hotel room, her heart was beating fast and she felt very much afraid. Although she looked different from how she did last night, there was still a possibility that Kingston's men would be outside and might recognize her.She took the elevator and exited the hotel. The sun had not risen yet and there were very few people outside but there was no sign of Kingston or his men. Tisha breathed a sigh of relief and began walking to where she could take a bus.She didn't know if her dad was actually dead and she had nothing on her. All her belongings were back in her father's house and she couldn't try to get them.She now understood why all the staff in her father's house had been changed. If she wasn't too naive, she would have known that something was amiss and would have quickly called the police.With someone like Kingston backing Lizzy and her mother, even the police would have been bought. Her father had willed all his properties to her, that was what
Spencer quickly freshened up and sat on the bed while waiting impatiently for Brian to arrive.The moment Brian came in, Spencer took the boxer and shirt from him and quickly got dressed.While Spencer was getting dressed, Bryan asked, "so what happened to your clothes and why did your phone turn off yesterday?"Spencer stared at Brian for a while to determine if he was joking, "be honest with me Brian, did the escort I ordered really go back home?""Does it look like I'm joking?" Brian asked back.Spencer sat on the bed and sighed, this means that I had sex with someone else last night and she left with some of my belongings before I woke up."Brian stared at Spencer in surprise as he began to explain. "I got impatient last night because the escort was taking too long. When I called you, you were on another call and a long one at that. I tossed my phone in anger and it went off.After waiting for a few minutes, I decided to look outside my room. You see the drugs were working on me a
Mr. Kingston sat at the manager's office while he showed him the footage that was captured. He saw how his men chased Tisha and when she got into the elevator and it lifted her to the thirteenth floor."Where is the rest of it?" Mr. Kingston asked. "I want to know exactly where she went to because I know for a fact that she is still in this hotel. My men have been on the lookout for her since last night and she has not stepped out of the hotel."The manager sighed, he knew that Mr. Kingston was one of the best customers since he always patronized their hotel. He was also friends with the owner so he was afraid of making him upset."I am sorry Mr. Kingston but at the request of some of our clients, most of the cameras on the thirteenth floor were turned off so we do not know where exactly she went.However, a lady has been captured leaving the hotel this morning. I'm not sure if it's the same person."After seeing the video of Tisha leaving the hotel in disguise, Mr. Kingston could not

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

John was sleeping in the morning when Ashley's phone beeped. He noticed she was in the kitchen cooking and picked up the phone which she had left on top of her handbag. He realized she had gotten a text message and wanted to read it.However, her phone was password protected. He quickly cracked it and opened her messages.He was surprised to see that earlier, she had sent a message that she needed a gun, and the message she received read, "The gun you need is ready, pick it up in two hours at the agreed location." After seeing the message, John became very worried. When Ashley left the house, he followed her stealthily and watched until he saw her receive a parcel from a guy before she got into a taxi. He realized that the parcel must be the gun and began to call Tisha to warn her about Ashley because he suspected that Ashley wanted to harm her. However, at that time, Tisha had already been kidnapped by Kingston and had left her phone in her car when she had driven to the supermark
