Castaways - Stranded With The Enemy A surprise 'proposal'
"Am I? Why will I want to do that? You enjoy torturing yourself, don’t you? Besides, I thought that she didn’t want to talk to you.” Samantha tells me rigidly.“I know that. She just has to tell me why she doesn’t want to talk to me, and I’ll let her be. If it turns out that she thinks that I lied to her, I have to set the record straight.”“Dummy. Did you only just think of that? It’s been on the news ever since you went to that dumb birthday party and Meghan's father himself blurted out that you guys were going to have a wedding.”“Don’t you call me names in my own home. I put an end to that rumor that same day.”“I just think it’s best to let sleeping dogs lie and not go about stirring up anything. Jessica has moved on, and as a matter of fact, you should too. I mean, even Sebastian and his wife are guarding her whereabouts jealously.”“It doesn’t matter.”Well, you’re going to have to get her number from elsewhere, because you sure as hell are not getting it from me. You’re unbeli
Castaways - Stranded With The Enemy A vengeful soul
CHARLOTTEEveryone thinks that I’m a monster, but as I sit moodily in my dingy cell, and marvel at the unfairness of it all, I make a vow to myself. They will all regret turning against me. Every last one of them, starting from that traitor called Charles. It nauseates me to think of how much of a weak ninny he is, and galls me that he is actually my blood.To think that he would turn on his own sister, and then after doing that, go ahead to wine and dine with our enemies is beyond me. He’s content to receive peanuts from our late father’s estate, while that usurper called Sebastian, enjoys our rightful inheritance, along with that his moose of a wife. Also, there's our birth father's wife, who even until now, lives in one of the mansions that should rightfully be for Charles and me, and flies around in his private jets.Charles doesn't even have a private jet to his name. Hell, I don't even think he flies first class anytime he travels by plane, but he is content to be a slave to tho
Castaways - Stranded With The Enemy More nightmares
JESSICAI stare up at a grinning Charlotte, unable to move or do anything to save myself, even though her intent is very clear. Something tells me that this can’t be real and that she’s in prison somewhere paying for her crimes, but still, she’s in front of me, and there’s no denying it.This time, I’m still in a hospital, but the circumstances are different. I’m not recovering from surgery this time around. Instead, I’m here to deliver my baby, and Charlotte is the doctor attending the delivery.I stare up at her in disbelief, willing my mouth to open. My mouth does open, but nothing, not even a whisper comes out of it. My stomach is shooting out almost obscenely, and I can see the movements of my baby, but I can’t feel anything.Charlotte moves closer and smiles down at me, placing her hand on my belly and smiling almost fondly as she rubs my belly tenderly, but there is nothing tender in her eyes. The door opens and I almost slump in relief. Someone is here, someone who will stop w

CHARLESTo my great relief, Bianca leaves my house the morning of the next day after I threaten her. I wasn’t kidding with the threat though. I know that I haven’t heard the last of her though, but at least, for now, I will have some rest. On my day off, I fly over to see Sebastian at his house. We heartily exchange pleasantries, and I play with his son, who is almost one for a while. His wife Carol, is around, as are her dad and my stepmother, who are seeing each other and are even almost at the stage where they’ll get married.Unfortunately, Thomas’s estranged wife, Belinda is making a nuisance of herself and making the whole thing difficult for them. Still, they love each other, and their love waxes strong by the day. Dinner that night is a boisterous and lively affair.After dinner, Sebastian and I go to the garden, where we talk about everything and nothing, from business to sports and other trivial things. Finally, he asks about my private life.“What’s going on with you nowada
Castaways - Stranded With The Enemy Mischievous
CHARLESI fly back home from Sebastian’s place a dejected man. His loyalties lie with Jessica, which I respect, after all, they’ve known each other far longer than I have known any of them. He has a point too. There’s every possibility that Jessica’s dislike of me came back full force after we got back on land.It may have nothing to do with what Meghan told her. The very night I come back from Sebastian’s place, I get a call from the hospital in the middle of the night. However, it’s not the hospital in which I work. The person on the line informs me that there’s an emergency and I need to come over to the hospital ASAP.They then give me directions to the hospital and get off the line without answering any of my questions. I’m tempted to ignore the call, after all, I don’t know anyone who could need emergency treatment, but the person on the line - it sounded like a teenager - had been hysterical, so I dress up and head over to the address that the person gave.When I get to the hos
Castaways - Stranded With The Enemy Meeting
Before I leave for Sebastian’s mother’s place, I call Samantha for the last time, already resigned to the fact that she would not take my call. The last time I called her, a man answered the call and then Samantha had come and taken the phone from him, explaining that he was her boyfriend.It stings a little that she’s abandoned me all because of a man, and while I understand and appreciate the fact that she’s in love, I don’t understand why that means that she has to cut off all her friends. To my surprise, she picks up my call, and even sounds quite cheery on the phone.So I tell her that I’m going to stay with Sebastian’s mom for a while, just in case she decides to visit me unannounced at any time, something that she’s fond of doing. I’m surprised when she calls me a few days later and begins to ask me the details of my journey, such as at what time I’ll be at the airport and what time my flight is leaving.When I ask her why she’s asking me such questions, she informs me that she
Castaways - Stranded With The Enemy Tarzan
CHARLESThe way Samantha kept insisting that I follow her to the state where she intended to stay with her friend was very suspicious, to say the least. When I asked her why she was so particular about it, her reason was that I need to know where she is going to be staying in case of any emergency, and I bought that excuse hook, line, and sinker.Her sister went back to school the day after Samantha was admitted to the hospital, saying that she had a series of tests to write, but it was obvious that she wanted to escape her sister’s razor-sharp mouth. I don’t blame her at all. Actually, I feel quite sorry for the poor kid.On the day she left, she had asked Samantha for some money in a shaky voice that was full of fear. I wasn’t surprised when the latter snapped at her and asked her if she was blind and could not see that she was hospitalized. In the end, I had given the kid more than enough money, waved away her profuse thanks, and sent her on her way.I strongly suspect that Samanth
Castaways - Stranded With The Enemy Explanation and understanding
JESSICAThe audacity of this man to even say all these mean things to me has me opening my mouth in shock as we stare angrily at each other. Who the hell does he think he is to talk to me like that when he is a lying, cheating asshole?“You know what? Fuck you. The world does not revolve around you, and neither do I live to serve you, fulfill your wishes, or please you. The fact that we had sex a few times does not give you the right to start stalking me like a creep.” I tell him hotly, the hurt and anger that I had no idea that I had been nursing all this while coming to the surface immediately. I wonder if I’m imagining the hurt look on Charle’s face.“Wow!”“Yeah. It was just sex, and if I knew that you had a fiancée, I sure as hell would never have had sex with you. You’re a terrible liar and a cheat, and I feel really sorry for any woman who is associated with you.” I tell him, noting that people were staring at us, but I’m too angry to care.Maybe if he had shown a little remors
