Castaways - Stranded With The Enemy Musings
SAMANTHAOf course, I’m not surprised by Jessica’s lack of reception towards me, after what she just found out earlier in the day, but still, I’m pissed at the way she’s treating me. Why she should be pissed when I’m only giving her a taste of her own medicine is what I don’t understand. After all, I had forgiven her after she stole Sebastian from me, and even later wanted them to get married.It’s been a week since the incident at the airport, yet I still can’t reach her because she blocked my number from calling her. It’s annoying how she can be so selfish at times. What does she expect me to do? Raise two bloody kids alone without their father? All I want her to do is to put in a good word on my behalf, and maybe Charles will be willing to let bygones be bygones, and we can raise our kids together. Granted, I may have gone too far with the whole scheme, but in my defense, that hadn’t been my plan in the beginning. What I wanted to do was to show her how painful it was for your fri

SAMANTHATwo days later, I’m sitting in front of Charles’s house in the idling rented car that I bought and waiting for him to drive out of his gate and away to work for most of the day. I have to admit that the fact that Charles absolutely refuses to act like most of the rich men I know, Sebastian included, is working to my advantage now.Before it used to piss me off that he lived in such a house that was unbecoming of his status as a multi-millionaire. It’s not that the house is bad, per se. It’s just not something any rich person should live in. It’s a simple, modest house, with a small fence and without any serious security whatsoever, but again this is working to my advantage now that I have to move in in his absence.Had it been that he lived in a house like Sebastian’s which had heaven knows how many security men and systems in place, he would surely have given them express instructions not to let me in if I come sniffing around, so it’s a good thing that he’s a modest guy who

JESSICAThe days pass and then the weeks pass, yet there’s no news about Charlotte’s recapture. She has simply vanished into thin air, and while I would like to think that she has run away to a foreign country to start over her life, I know that that is an impossibility. She’s most likely laying low and thinking of the best way to kill everyone who in her mind has offended her.Two days ago, I received a call from one of my neighbors, telling me that someone had broken into my apartment and trashed the place, leaving a dead pig behind as a souvenir. I had received this alarming news much more calmly than the situation warranted. In fact, ever since this whole jailbreak situation started, I have been weirdly calm.Mrs. James assures me all the time that I’m perfectly safe in her house, and as much as I would like to believe that, I can’t help but think of the fact that her husband was killed right here in this very house, despite all the protection that they had. However, then, there h
Castaways - Stranded With The Enemy Confession
The touch of his lips against mine causes pure pleasure to course through me immediately, and my head goes blank immediately. For all his gentle and reserved looks, Charles is a seasoned and expert kisser. He takes his time, kissing me slowly and thoroughly, and to my utter shame, I’m helpless to stop him.Instead, I begin to kiss him back, leaning into his touch. I inwardly blame my stupid and haywire hormones for my inability to push him away. I haven’t been with anyone since Charles on the island, and I’ve only shared a sloppy kiss with Jeff, which I instantly regretted.Charles smells and feels so good that I don’t want the kiss to stop, ever, but it does stop. My eyes are still closed and I’m still kissing Charles when he abruptly pulls away and gets up. My eyes fly open immediately to see him standing a short distance away, running his hand through his hair in frustration. My cheeks pinken immediately and I wish the ground will open up and swallow me.“What is it about you, Jess
Castaways - Stranded With The Enemy Downhill
There is a moment of stunned silence as Charles stares at me in the rapidly dwindling light. Sooner or later, one of the staff will turn on the garden lights. I stare back at him, a sinking feeling in my gut as I wonder if I’ve made a mistake telling him. If he rejects the baby, it will hurt like a bitch.“Excuse me?”“I said you’re my baby’s father. I found out sometime after we got back from the island and I left the hospital that I’m pregnant, but I was not yet ready to tell you about it. I’m not still sure I should have told you, but I…” I had said all this in a rush, trying to get the words out as fast as possible, but now, I trail off.“You’re carrying my child?” Charles asks again, but this time, he’s asking to be sure that he’s not hearing things. At my nod, the widest grin that I’ve ever seen graces his face and he lets out a whoop of delight which is so in contrast to his usual somber demeanor, that I find myself returning the smile.“Something tells me that you did not rejo
Castaways - Stranded With The Enemy Visitor
SAMANTHAIt does not take long for my illness to go away, but now, I’m dead bored and lonely in this house all by myself. Charles has been avoiding me ever since I came to his house, which sucks, to say the least. On some days, he doesn’t even bother to come home and stays away for two to three days at a stretch.He hasn’t said anything about the house he said he would get for me, so I’m hoping that he has realized that it’s in our best interest to live together. However, what’s more important is the fact that I need to get him to like me again as he once did. As I’m thinking these thoughts, I hear the door open, signaling that he’s home, and I quickly get up to go welcome him.“Welcome home,” I say meekly when I get to the living room, where he is loosening the first buttons of his shirt while sipping a glass of cold water. He raises his gaze to meet mine and nods in response to my greeting, but the expression in his eyes is not in the slightest bit pleasant.“How was work today?” I
Castaways - Stranded With The Enemy 'Acquaintance'
SAMANTHAI immediately open my mouth to scream, but Charlotte is as quick as a striking snake. She moves her hand in a flash, and when she raises it, she’s brandishing a wicked-looking gun. I slam my mouth shut immediately, no other warning needed.“Who are you and what do you want?” I manage to ask, my voice quivering as my eyes dart this way and that way, looking for an escape route, but there is none to be had. I also size the bitch in front of me up and down, but even though we’re roughly the same size, I know without a doubt that I’ll be unable to take her on. For one thing, Charlotte is a seasoned murderer, so she will surely have skills that I can only dream about. For another, I’m heavily pregnant, so I’m definitely not in any position to be demonstrating any Kung Fu skills. My best option is to keep her talking. Hopefully, Charles will come back on time. I become aware that Charlotte is staring at me in surprise, as though she isn’t quite sure what to make of me, or as thou

“Ah, I see you’re not the angel that I thought you were. What are you doing with that thing?” Charlotte asks me, shaking her head slightly, as though in sore disappointment. The smile is still on her face, but it doesn’t reach her eyes, and it gives her beautiful but hardened face a creepy look.“I … I wasn’t going to use it.” I defend myself feebly. Earlier, I had been too tense and focused on getting the knife that I wasn’t too aware of my surroundings. Now, though, I can see my mistake. There’s this huge painting that is in a reflective glass case and is resting on the floor against the wall opposite us, and in it, I can see my reflection and that of Charlotte. Apparently, she had been watching my every move in the glass of the painting.“No? So what were you going to do with it? Peel a potato and cook it to make me feel at home?”“Look, you’re wielding a gun at me. Naturally, I got scared a little that you were going to use it on me. A knife is no match for a gun, though.”“Yeah,
