Cindy closed her door and stood in front of it. She folded her arms and stared at Maya condescendingly as her friends helped her up from the ground.Looking at Maya's appearance, Cindy couldn't help but admit that she looked glamorous and beautiful. However, she would not hesitate to put Maya in her place if she tried to cross the line again.Maya wiped her hands and her butt. She pointed at Cindy and said, "you slut, where is Jack? Where are you hiding him? I know you are jealous of me and can't bear to see me happy but I'm carrying Jack's child and there's nothing you can do about it.Bring Jack out right now otherwise, I will let everyone in this neighborhood know that you are a slut who is trying to take away the father of my child."Cindy stared at Maya and started to laugh. "If my memory serves me right, which I believe it does, you were the same lunatic who came here yesterday to rub your relationship with Jack on my face.Didn't you say 'Maya gets whatever she wants? Jack is
Just as Grant finished speaking, Maya ran into the house crying. The other family members were all surprised to see the state she was in.She ran towards Grant and said, "Jack is not picking up my calls anymore. I know that Cindy is hiding him in her house. She did all this just to humiliate me. What is going to happen to me and my unborn child? How can Jack treat his child like this?"Grant and all the other family members looked at Maya in shock as she cried and sat on the floor.Spencer could not believe it. How could Maya be pregnant with Jack's child? Could this be a ploy of hers to tie Jack down?Elvis's wife went to her and lifted her so she could sit on the chair. Grant walked closer to the chair and asked, "are you pregnant Maya?""Yes," Maya replied. Grant became very happy. He had wanted a grandchild for so long but Elvis and his wife hadn't been able to give him any.Spencer was not married yet married so he was still hoping for Elvis and his wife. Jack was the last perso
Grant's face turned red with anger. He had nothing else to say to Jack on this matter because Jack had not invited him or the other family members except Spencer.He had initially thought about why Jack never said anything to him, knowing how much he loved Maya. But Jack had always been stubborn and did things differently so he had ignored his behavior and told himself that they were family afterall and didn't need any special invitation. How could he have known that Jack would use that against him in this way?Seeing the way Jack was behaving and how he ignored her scared Maya even more. This Jack was different from the one she had spoken to in the morning.She got up from the chair and walked slowly to his side. She held his hand and said, "Jack what has come over you? Why are you now treating me like this? What about our unborn child?"Jack stared at her angrily and pulled his hand away before moving a distance away from her to stand by Elvis's side.Everyone turned to look at Jac
Grant walked towards Jack, tapped his shoulder lightly, and said, "listen to me, my son. I know that Maya may have gone a little overboard but try and understand where she is coming from.Most times young people make a lot of mistakes because of love and that's the case with Maya. Since she is even willing to apologize to Cindy, let it go. Your focus right now should be on your child.You both have to come together to raise this child together. You know better how it feels when a child has to grow up without one of his parents. It's very difficult.Do not give up on your child because of that Cindy. Maya has been by your side since childhood and that goes to show that she loves you the most so you both should go ahead and get married."Jack smiled and walked close to Maya who was still kneeling. He looked down at her and said, "get up."Maya quickly got up from the ground. Seeing that his expression had softened, her heart began to beat very fast. If what Jack wanted was for her to kn
Grant felt disappointed and heartbroken. He had put all his faith in Maya rather than Jack. He had even slapped Jack but in the end, Maya made a fool out of him.He had also trusted the wrong woman years ago and she had abandoned him and their children and ran away with a very rich man.Perhaps, he wasn't such a good judge of character afterall and should no longer decide for his sons on the type of women they needed to get married to.He turned and began to walk back to his room but Jack said, "hold on dad" causing him to halt his movements.He turned his back and stared at Jack while he asked, "do you still think Maya is better than Cindy because her family is financially well off?"Grant felt that Jack was playing the "I told you so" card and couldn't blame him. He had defamed Cindy before Jack several times and always praised Maya for having the best morals, now he had to eat his words.Ignoring Jack's question, Grant turned and walked away while Jack smiled satisfactorily because
Cindy nodded her head and said "okay. So tell me how it went with Maya. My ears are seriously itching."Jack laughed and packed up the things he laid on the bed before lying down. He took Cindy in his arms and told her everything that Maya said and how she was shameless even to the end.Cindy shook her head fearfully and hoped that she never had to meet Maya or someone like her ever again.Cindy woke up the next morning and frowned when she saw that Jack had already gotten ready for work. "I thought we were going to spend the day together and later attend the party." She said while pouting.Jack kissed her and said, "please pardon me, baby, I should have told you that I have a meeting with some of the shareholders who think it's a bad idea for me to sign Chris Belov.I need to convince them and also prepare for the party. How about I give you a massage after the party?""I'll be too tired already" Cindy replied."Okay, then. I will make it up to you tomorrow. We will spend the whole d
Jack saw Chris Belov walking towards the exit and said to Cindy. "Let me quickly speak to Belov while you chat with Emily. Hi Emily.""Hi, Jack" Emily replied just as Jack walked away. Cindy noticed that Emily looked more refined and polished than she did before and couldn't help but say, "you look very beautiful Emily.""Emily smiled and said, "not as much as you Cindy. You have no idea how happy I am to see you and Jack together. It makes me so happy that my acting wasn't in vain.""Well about that" Cindy said as she briefly scratched her head. "I know you made a deal with Jack but I still want to thank you for your flawless acting. I never would have guessed that everything you did was an act and I'm sorry I slapped you so hard.""No, it's fine" Emily replied humbly. "I believe it came with the job. I am seriously rooting for your relationship with Jack which is why I am going to tell you this. Watch out for your man because there's someone who wants to steal him from you."Cindy
Chris Belov smiled as he extended his hand to shake Cindy and said, "of course, I remember Cindy well. She was such a beautiful and sweet girl back then. Miss Cindy, it's nice to meet you again and I hope we can see more of each other."Cindy smiled at Chris Belov and said, "it's nice to meet you after so many years."She felt grateful that Chris Belov did not say anything about the crush she had on him. This was why she had liked him back then. He always behaved maturely and was very humble and kind as opposed to Lily who was arrogant and self-centered.Sometimes it was hard to believe that they both shared the same parents. Jack observed both Cindy's and Chris's expressions. Being a man, he immediately knew that Chris Belov had amorous desires toward her but it seemed Cindy didn't notice it.But how could she? When she was too busy admiring Chris Belov. Jack thought to himself. He could tell that Cindy still liked Belov judging from how she looked at him with so much admiration.He
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
