I hurriedly packed the sandwich I made and headed for City hospital. I needed to come back in time to prepare for my job. When I got to Tim's ward, I noticed he seemed very sad. The moment he saw me however, he cheered up and his face started beaming with joy. I told him about my new job and the fact that I will be paid a lot of money. I promised him that I was going to buy him the world.We both laughed heartily, then I fed him the sandwich and said goodnight. When I got to the door, he called out to me. As I turned, he smiled and said, "I love you, more than anything in the world." I went back to his bed and hugged him tenderly. With tears in my eyes, I told him "as long as you love me, I am content. I don't need anyone else and I love you too, more than anything in the world."I woke up bright and early the following day and got to the office an hour before the resumption time. I was literally the first person that arrived at the agency. I even had to wait a while for others to arr
I briefly savored his minty breath before pushing him away. "What the fuck do you think you are doing?" I asked while my eyes shot daggers at him. He smiled and pretended to be oblivious to my anger."There's no need to get all worked up Cindy," he said flirtatiously. "You definitely can't deny the sexual tension between us. I know how you women are, you play hard to get, while you string your prey along. But I'm a man of action. I don't play games so let's not deny what we feel for each other."I scoffed and rolled my eyes at him. While still smiling, he said, "I know you want me, every fucking woman on the planet does. First of all, you wore this sexy outfit because you wanted to get my attention, why else would you let your breasts call out to me? Your body language completely shows that you want me and I don't blame you. I mean, take a good look at me. I'm rich, handsome, sexy, smart and the list is endless. What else could a girl ask for?""Well you forgot delusional, egotistical
When I got to my door, I was surprised to see Rick standing with a bouquet of roses in his hand. The sight before me just made my mood more sour. Why did I keep bumping into chauvinists who felt only they had the right to dictate how a relationship went? I ignored Rick and took out my house keys to open my door but he surprisingly went on his knees and started begging, "please baby, just give me one more chance. I know I fucked up big time but I cross my heart, it will never happen again."I sighed and lightly massaged the crease that had formed on my forehead. I believed in giving people second chances but it was a different ball game when my heart was involved. I couldn't afford to take Rick back into my life as I believed he was bound to cheat on me again, perhaps his excuse this time around would be, it's just mental. I had a lot going through my mind and couldn't afford to add Rick's pestering to it. I thought of a nice way to get rid of him and an idea quickly popped into my mi
Cindy's POVI walked dejectedly into the hospital. Nothing had gone my way today. Not only had I lost my job but all the companies had refused to hire me. Was I cursed? Now I really regretted slapping my boss. Why did I become so hot tempered? I should have politely refused his advances. That was a job so many people were vying for and I just threw it away. Being impulsive was my biggest flaw. Now I didn't know what else to do.I tried to cheer up because I didn't want little Tim to know what I was going through. I took the snacks I had bought into his room and when he saw me, he opened his arms and invited me for a hug. I was surprised but I happily hugged him. He looked at me sadly and said, "don't pretend to be happy before me, I know you must be going through a lot, that's why I gave you a hug to encourage you. Don't worry, once I get well, I will get a job and I will have so much money. I will take you round the world and buy you anything you want."I became so touched that tears
When I got to the door of Jack's office, I hesitated before going in. The moment he saw me, he stood up and smiled. This was in contrast to his reaction toward me when we first met.Nevertheless, I put on my best smile and said "good morning sir. First of all, I want to apologize for coming late. I also want to apologize for raising my hand to you and insulting you yesterday. It was wrong of me to do that and I am sincerely sorry from the bottom of my heart."He said, in the most polite voice I had ever heard from his mouth, "I also want to apologize for what happened yesterday. I crossed the line and I still can't figure out what came over me." I kept mute at this point because I suddenly felt something was fishy. Not firing me was believable but apologizing to me was inconsistent with his personality. Now I knew for a fact that I needed to watch my back.Interrupting my thoughts, he stretched out his hand for a handshake and said, "Miss Banks, I believe we got off on the wrong foot
"Come on, let's go over the script," Jack said interrupting my thoughts. I was grateful for the distraction. I received the script from him and started reading it. According to the script, we met at a fundraiser, more than a year ago and fell in love at first sight. We've been dating for over a year and are madly in love. Jack's likes and dislikes were spelled out in the script and I was expected to write down mine.As I took note of his likes, I realized seafood was among them so I dispelled the thoughts that Jack set me up with the array of seafood in the buffet. I wrote down my likes. I loved seafood as well as red wine. I loved swimming and playing tennis and I loved honest people."No way!" Jack said when he read my likes and realized that I was also into seafood. "I guess we already have something in common.""I guess so," I said feeling uncomfortable. He smiled at me, "remember, when we are around Sylvia Forrester, the celebrity, we need to be quite lovey-dovey. We may have to
When we got to La Paiga, Jack picked out most of the clothes I would use, ranging from swim suits and bikinis to ball gowns and sexy skin tight gowns with low necklines that were bound to reveal my cleavage. Even the night wears he bought were extremely sexy. At this point, I couldn't help but complain."Mr Jack, I will feel more comfortable sleeping in pajamas than these sexy lingeries. And I certainly doubt that Miss Forrester would come inside our bedroom to check what I'm wearing to bed.""Fair enough," he said before putting the lingeries back in their places.We soon finished shopping and headed to Burgens resort where everything was going to take place. It was almost evening when we arrived. We were given the keycard to our room which was surprisingly next to Sylvia's room. We bumped into her on our way to the room and Jack immediately circled my waist with his hand. He smelled really nice and I couldn't help but inhale the manly scent emanating from him.Sylvia who was accompan
Jack's POVI became spellbound the moment I looked into Cindy's eyes. It suddenly hit me that she was the most beautiful blonde I had ever seen. Her blue eyes glistened like a crescent moon. Her waist was so slim that I could completely cover it with my hands.Her bra barely covered her nipple and it left me wanting to taste the sweetness of her succulent breasts. Her butt cheeks were so round and supple, bringing out her curves and leaving nothing to be desired. Damn! She was sexy.I wanted her so badly, more than I had ever wanted anything in my life. As if on cue, she suddenly wrapped her arms around my neck and brought her rosy lips to mine. I couldn't believe she did it. At first, I thought I was imagining things but then I felt the blood rush to my head, and at that moment, I returned her kiss with so much fervor. I got so carried away that when she tried to pull away, I wouldn't let her. Then I felt a sharp sting on my neck and I came right back to Earth. I stared into her ey
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
When Cindy picked up the call, Chris said, "I am so sorry Cindy, I didn't know that Jack was innocent. Please, I know Lily was wrong and I'm sure she has learned her lesson. Withdraw the case against her and let's settle this amicably. I know that Jack will listen to you.Going back to court over this same issue will only cause more harm to my reputation and career, please.""It's okay Chris" Cindy replied. "If you want Jack to withdraw the case, he will do so but there's a condition. Lily should make a video of herself apologizing to Jack for framing him up and she has to sound sincere. She should post it on I*******m and tag him. When Jack has seen the video, he will withdraw the case.""Okay, she will do that" Chris replied. "thank you, Cindy." The moment Chris ended the call, Lily said "no, how can you agree to such a thing? I will not humiliate myself publicly.""You have no choice" Chris replied angrily. "There's already a sex video of you and everyone knows you deliberately did
Both Lily and Chris stared at Cindy in shock while the judge said to the officers present, "take her into custody."Lily screamed and tried to struggle when the officers came to grab her while Chris said, "calm down Lily and stop struggling, I will get you out in no time."Lily covered her face in shame as she was being led out of the courtroom while the reporters frantically took pictures and videos of her.Within a twinkling of an eye, the news of how Lily willingly made a sex tape with a strange guy and uploaded it on social media just to force Jack into marrying her went viral. Many people were left in shock that a girl who appeared to be so polished and classy could stoop to such a level.All those who had called Jack vile names began to take back their words and ask for forgiveness from him and the artists in his Agency. Chris got Lily out on bail a few hours later and had to fetch her at the station with bodyguards to stop the citizens who were hell-bent on clamoring around th
