Castaways - Stranded With The Enemy The morning after
The security at Aunty’s house is very tight, but once the guards see that I’m the one in the car with Jeff, they immediately let us in through the gates of the large estate, the relief on their faces clearly apparent. I feel a pang of guilt, knowing that the guards, especially the ones at Carol’s house must have gotten hell for letting me go out without protection.I’m ready for a fight if it comes to that, though. I’m not a child, neither am I a prisoner, and I can go wherever I want to go without needing permission from anyone or needing to be followed around like someone who doesn’t know her left from her right.“Good morning, ma’am. We were all worried sick when you didn’t come back last night. Mr. Charles sent people out to look for you, but we couldn’t find you anywhere.”“It’s alright, Jim. I went out with my friends last night, and somehow lost my phone, which is why I couldn’t call anyone and why you guys couldn’t reach me. Anyway, I left my car at the hotel where I spent the
Castaways - Stranded With The Enemy Back in time
JESSICAI do not answer at first but rather proceed into the living room so I can drop the bag that I’m carrying. Once I drop the bag, I turn to him to explain what happened.“I’m sorry I didn’t call to inform you about my whereabouts, but we were both fine. I went to the park with Ava, and then one of my friends called me to tell me that he was in town with his sister and that they would both like to see me. So I went to see them, but apparently, I forgot my phone at the park, which is why I couldn’t reach you. Anyway, we got talking, and I didn’t realize how much time had gone until it was too late, so I decided to stay over.”“What the fuck were you thinking? Leaving the house like that without any form of protection whatsoever. Do you know how worried we’ve all been? And then to worsen matters, you turn off your phone so no one can reach you? What sort of game are you playing here Jessica?” Charles thunders, apparently deciding to ignore everything that I’ve said. I pat Ava’s back
Castaways - Stranded With The Enemy False accusations
JESSICAFrom that day henceforth, Charles began to avoid me, or at least, avoid being with me alone. At first, it was a little funny, but as days passed, it began to get annoying. He’s now working in one of the top hospitals in the city, but he did not tell me this news himself. I heard it from Aunty.He still frequents Aunty’s house, but not as much as he used to, and even when he does, he goes straight to the nursery to play with Ava, or if he wants to take her to the park, he would inform the nanny beforehand that he was going to do so, and then he would take and return her without seeing me.On the occasions when our parts happen to cross, he would greet me with his gaze averted, ask me how I am, and would then be on his way. All the camaraderie that we once shared is now gone, which sucks a lot because that means we’re not having sex anymore too. However, it’s not just the sex I miss, but the man himself and everything about him. I'm in love with him, but it sucks that he clearly
Castaways - Stranded With The Enemy Love confessions
“Let’s go to the garden. We need to talk.” I tell him as we walk.“Sure. No problem. How have you been?”“I’ve been fine, and you?”“Okay, mostly.”“So, why have you been avoiding me?” I ask him, seeing no reason to beat about the bush.“I thought it was what you wanted.”“You thought it was what I wanted?” I repeat incredulously.“Well, yes. You were giving me attitude, and everything I did seemed to annoy you. Also, no matter how many times I asked, you didn’t tell me whatever it was that I did wrong, and neither did you accept my apologies. Then to worsen matters … well, you know how that last time we were talking and I yelled at you turned out. I hate that I frightened you so badly that it made you remember …"We were having an argument. People have arguments all the time. I yelled at you too. I definitely don't hold that against you." I interrupt him."Anyway, after that, I figured it is best if I kept my distance from you and we only relate where Ava is concerned. After all, yo
Castaways - Stranded With The Enemy Proposal
CHARLESThings between Jessica and I get much better after we profess our love to each other. I’m the happiest I’ve ever been in my life. I have a beautiful girlfriend, who I’m planning to ask to marry me, as I see no point in waiting, and I have a very cute daughter, whom I love to death.Now that Jessica and I are official, I’m thinking about asking her to move in with me as I once did. After all, nowadays, she spends a lot of time in my house and has even helped me with the design and so many other things, so on one of the nights when she’s sleeping over, I decide to ask her about it.“So … I’ve been meaning to tell you something,” Jessica speaks first, beating me to it. We’re lying in bed in my bedroom at my house, after a fun-filled day.“I’ve decided to move back to my former house.”“Excuse me? Why would you want to do that?” I ask incredulously.“Well, I was once a top model in this country, before all that happened, happened. Anyway, I’ve been looking to get back into the ent
Castaways - Stranded With The Enemy Leaked news
CHARLESI had proposed to Jessica on the spur of the moment, thereby ruining the perfect proposal which I had in mind when I bought the ring. I’m talking about the standard proposal with roses and the rest. She doesn’t seem to mind, though. Instead, she happily showed her ring to Carol and Aunty, who ‘oohed’ and ‘aahed’ over it as expected.Still, I want to do something romantic for her, so I ask her to choose an exotic location, so we can go honeymoon there, after the wedding, which is going to be a very small affair with only our closest friends present. The last thing we need is more publicity.Jessica and I now live together at my house with our daughter. I had never pictured myself as a family man, let alone a happy one before now, but now that I am one, I can’t picture my life without my beautiful fiancée and daughter in it. The house, in contrast to my former one, has state-of-the-art security, and I’ve employed three guards … two male and one female for extra protection.Whene
Castaways - Stranded With The Enemy Proven right
JESSICAWithout anyone telling me, I already know that it is Veronica who leaked the news of our wedding to the press. It just makes sense, after all, she’s the only stranger who was present at the wedding, and as foolish as I was, I had told her that Charles and I were going on a honeymoon, along with our daughter. I have forgotten just how talkative she can be, otherwise, I wouldn’t have told her about it. One call to her proves me correct.“Veronica, did you tell anyone about the wedding?” I asked her, unable to mask the anger in my voice.“Of course not! But of course, my husband knew about it. There’s no way that I would travel and leave the kids with him without telling him where I’m going. You need not worry, though. He definitely won’t tell anyone about it. You know Leo is the quiet type. Oh … and I took some videos, which you knew very well that I took, because you saw me taking them, and even posed for them. I wanted to upload the videos to my story, but I remembered that yo
Castaways - Stranded With The Enemy Outrage
CHARLOTTEOutraged is an understatement for the emotion which I’m feeling right now. I have a brother, and not just a brother at that, but a twin, who shared the same womb as me at the same time, but apparently, I mean nothing to him, which is a damn shame.I’ve been hiding like a common criminal all these while, meanwhile, he is busy gallivanting about with that irritating vermin called Jessica. I really should have offed that woman while I had the chance. No doubt she’s laughing at me and having a swell time owing to the fact that she has my dear brother in the palm of her hand.I’m not surprised, though. Since we were young, Charles has always been a puppet with no balls. He has always been annoying to me, but now more than ever, his stupidity is a thorn in my flesh. Still, I love him in my own way even though I’m sure that most people won’t believe that.He no doubt thinks that I was trying to kill him that day when I shot at him, but I was only trying to teach him a lesson.
