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?"

    Jack's POVI woke up to a sexy blonde beside me, as I stared at her voluptuous figure, I recalled that she didn't please me well enough last night. I woke her up immediately, threw some dollar bundles on her face and told her, "get the hell out of my house." She stared at me in surprise. "what are you doing Jack? I'm not a hooker and I'm certainly not short of money." "Then what the fuck are you doing in my bed?" I asked disdainfully. She stared at me angrily and yelled, "bastard" before taking her things and walking out. I stared at her back as she left and screamed, "be sure to close the door behind you and good riddance."I quickly took my bath and got ready for work. I had a very important deal I needed to close today. When I got to the office, I called for my secretary but my personal assistant informed me that she had run into a mishap so she would arrive later. I called the human resource department and asked them to fire her immediately and hire a new secretary for me. She

  • ONLY YOU   WHAT THE HELL?

    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

  • ONLY YOU   SEND AN ESCORT

    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

  • ONLY YOU   BACK TO WORK

    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

  • ONLY YOU   TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE

    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

  • ONLY YOU   SEAFOOD

    "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

  • ONLY YOU   POOL PARTY

    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

    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

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?

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.
