A few hours earlier, Maya went out to the supermarket and got fifteen bottles of alcohol. When she got back home, she separated five bottles and opened them one after the other.She wasn't a fan of alcohol and barely drank any so, she knew that she had to do something about it because if her plan was going to be successful, she needed to be very sober.She emptied the alcohol in the five bottles and replaced it with juice. After that, she covered the bottles securely and drew a mark on each of the five bottles. She then mixed the bottles and put all fifteen in one bag.When she was through with that, Maya went to try out Cindy's type of makeup on her face. She tried it repeatedly but couldn't get it right. She then went on social media and searched for Cindy's pictures on her Instagram page.She saved some of the pictures in which Cindy looked really beautiful with her makeup. She stared at the picture with so much hate in her eyes and assured herself that soon Cindy's name would beco
Cindy was eating lunch with little Tim when her phone rang. At first, she thought it was Jack but when she checked her screen, she saw Spencer's name instead.She answered the call happily and asked Spencer how he was doing. He didn't want to beat around the bush so he asked Cindy what happened between her and Maya.Cindy told Spencer everything and he couldn't help but blame Jack once more for being stupid. He however pleaded with her to give Jack another chance. He told her how Jack had called him and pleaded for his help.Cindy informed him that she was leaving in two days and he pleaded with her to unblock Jack's number and return his calls.She told him that she had secured evidence against Maya and was planning to call Jack anyways. He thanked her before hanging up.Tim told Cindy that Jack had given him several missed calls. She told him to return them but when he did, Jack did not answer his phone.Cindy also tried to call him after unblocking his number but he still did not p
"We have to forget it ever happened Jack" Maya replied as she turned her back to him."Jack, we were both sad, heartbroken, and drunk. What happened was wrong. It should not have happened. I will advise that you don't tell Cindy about this otherwise she would never forgive you or take you back.""I can't keep something like this from Cindy" Jack replied. "If she finds out someday that I did something like this, she would never forgive me or believe that it was a mistake. I need to come clean before her."Maya shook her head and said, "no Jack, she would never find out. We are the only ones that know about this so if we keep quiet about it, no one else would find out.Please, Jack, don't tell Cindy. I won't be able to forgive myself if you two broke up because of this. I will always feel responsible. I never should have drunk so much when I knew that my alcohol tolerance level is low. I blame myself and I wish I can undo what has happened.Jack, you are my best friend and I want you to
At night, Cindy spoke at length with little Tim and told him about her desire to return the next morning. Tim told her that his doctor had informed him earlier in the day that he would be discharged in two months time.He kept a sad face when he said this and Cindy knew it was because he was eventually going to part with Miley. It was bound to happen so she assured him that everything was going to be fine and said goodnight to him.She tried to sleep but couldn't bring herself to do so. She felt really worried. Jack had tried to speak with her so desperately and she gave him the cold shoulder. Now that she had a change of heart, he stopped contacting her. He didn't even try to return her calls. She had an uncanny feeling that something bad had happened. Was she getting dumped like this? Could Jack have changed his mind and given up on her already? She kept asking herself questions she didn't have answers to.She didn't want to call Jack again since he hadn't returned the calls she ga
Maya locked her door and put her luggage into her car before driving off. She had recently carried out maintenance on her car so she was surprised when it broke down. She tried calling her mechanic but his number was unreachable. She tried everything she could think of in order to get the car to start but it didn't. She became frustrated. She had planned that she won't contact Jack until the time was right but it seemed she was going to need his help before then so she took out her phone and called him.He quickly answered the call and informed her that he was coming. After texting the address to Jack. Maya sat inside her car and waited for him.She recalled the last time she had waited for Jack like this. Back then she had deliberately flattened her tyres but now she really needed his help. She found the whole situation funny but she wasn't worried that he wouldn't show up because she knew that Cindy wasn't around.Jack arrived sooner than she expected and offered to drop her off a
Cindy stared angrily at Maya who was still crying and said, "a mistake huh? Isn't it convenient that you have sex with Jack just once when he is drunk and suddenly you are pregnant? Today Maya, I am going to prove how big of a liar you are."After speaking, Cindy held Maya by her hair and pulled her out of Jack's office, saying , "we are going to the hospital right now to confirm your so called pregnancy."Maya screamed in pain and begged for Jack to help her. However, Jack couldn't seem to move his leg as he was in shock. Everything had blown out of proportion. He was going to become a father but it wasn't by Cindy. What was he supposed to do?He recalled Cindy pulling Maya's hair and ran after them. He noticed that so many employees had gathered to watch the drama that was happening and shouted at them all to get back back to work.He quickly dismissed the crowd but when he got out of the building, he saw Cindy pushing Maya into a taxi. He got into his car and began to drive behind
Cindy stared at Jack in shock as tears dropped relentlessly from her eyes. "What are you saying Jack?" She asked. "You want to marry Maya, then what about me?"Jack stood up and walked closer to Cindy. He took her hands in his and said, "I'm sorry Cindy but I don't have a choice. I can't ask Maya to terminate my child and it's also unfair for me to turn her into a single mother. I had really hoped for a future for the both of us and I wish it didn't come to this. Please find it in your heart to forgive me." After speaking, Jack went to where Maya was and helped her to stand up.He held her by the waist and slowly escorted her out of the hospital. As she walked past Cindy, Maya smiled victoriously at her before walking away while Cindy kept staring at the both of them until they walked out of the hospital.She went to sit where Maya had sat before, placed her hands on her head and bent her face down. After a sitting for a while, she got up, wiped the tears from her eyes and headed bac
After leaving star entertainment, Cindy went back to her house. She was feeling very hungry because she hadn't eaten any food the whole day.She cooked and ate and decided to see a movie since she now had so much free time. Meanwhile, Maya began calling her friends both far and near to inform them about her upcoming wedding.She wanted them to be prepared so that the moment she was certain of the date, she would let them know and they would make the time to attend.When she was through making calls, Maya went back to Jack's office but this time around, her look was different. She dressed up like her usual elegant self and wore a little make-up on her face.When Jack got back to his office, he continued with his work. He was making plans because he wanted Chris Belov, a very famous actor to sign with his agency. He was going to be around in two weeks time and Jack was hoping to get an audience with him at a grand party which would be held around that same time.He wanted to know everyt
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
