Against all odds A trip to remember
- Thank you, Phillip! - Anytime, sunshine! Are you all right now? - I think I am… - Ok, then let us go back, ok? - Ok. The cottage was near, only a few steps. I walked sustained by him and he carefully placed me on the little sofa in the room. Only then I took my time to really observe the piece of heaven we were staying in. I just loved the intimate atmosphere that the small room offered. It was only one bed, the same canopy shape we had back at the main hotel. - Would you like some tea? I snapped out of my state and looked at him with my eyes still wet. - Yes, please! I watched him go into the small kitchen, boil some water, and put a little tea bag into a cup. With firm movements, he stirred in it bringing it to me. I took a few sips. The tea was perfect. I was starting to fill warm and calm. - Better now? - Much better, thank you! - I am sorry… - For what? I could sense the guiltiness in his voice and a
Against all odds Back to reality
Phillip’s story It really was an honor to me knowing Maya wants to invite me to perform at her fashion event. I want to help her to become known. Now that she won the Bali contest I had no doubt about it. I took some rehearsals in the meantime but I don’t really know when the event is going to take place. There was a person we pissed off when we left, and that was Adam Oakland. First because as I understood he had not some normal plans with Maya in this world of fashion and second because the guy was two-faced that I could bet he wants to harm her. Something tells me his intentions towards her are not so clean. We managed to make him angry because Maya and I took the same plane back to London and it was not the very one he flew with. To be honest I don’t really care about his thoughts. The first week was the hardest. We barely see each other as we had so much work to do. I went every day with Peter to the studio and I imagine Maya had a lot of work to do with her upcoming event. -
Against all odds Until the end of time
Maya’s story It is been a month since we came back from Bora Bora, that paradise where Phillip made me feel so special. And also one painful month in which he didn’t call or even tried to reach me somehow. And that was maybe because of Adam. There might be a possibility he found out Adam was here to visit me otherwise, I don’t see why he is avoiding me. I am very sure that like me he did not forget that night. We just couldn’t. It is impossible to forget such an intense connection as we had. The way we complete each other was just too perfect. The days passed, Phillip was maybe busy with his events and rehearsals. I was with mine. Two more fashion shows to come and again Adam was in the picture. I settled into two events instead of one only because Adam said it would be best to clime and have success. He got for me these contracts so I had to full fill them. I know that Phillip did not agree with this partnership but for now this is all I have. Adam had connections in this world and
Against all odds Destiny vs me
Maya’s story Only one week until my first event, the charity one. Famous people with a lot of money were invited to support a cause, child abuse. Unfortunately, abuses like these are so common not only here in England but also around the world. Someone has to take a stand. Even if I feel it is not enough from somewhere we have to begin. The day after Carla left passed but the call I promised to her did not exist. My courage left me and I decided I should see with my things. Things went smoothly and in no time the charity day came. This time I chose the green drees. Carla said it goes wonderfully with my red hair. She was right. I feel beautiful. I asked Adam to come to take me from home. I had some urgent things to finish and I had my car in service during this period. He was happy to accept my request. Only that by the time he got here Phillip was also in front of me. I did not expect that and I was looking perplexed at the both of them trying to figure out what to say next. -

Against all odds State of denial
Miron’s storyIt’s been almost three days and no damn sign of the kidnapper. I was going insane with all this worry. I don’t even have proof of life. Peter and Samantha kept calling me and every time the answer is the same. Even Corrine canceled all her events to be with us in such moments.We talked on the phone to gather in a meeting here at my house. Maybe we could figure out who and why is doing this. There are a lot of questions around this mystery. I just hope Rita is fine.I can’t wait and I keep looking at my watch, counting the hours until this evening.

Against all odds In search of the truth
Rita’s storyThe days passed and I was being held in this smelly warehouse. Or at least I thought it was a warehouse. I lost track of time, not knowing when is day or is night. Every once in awhile Sarah passes to see me, bring me food if I can call it food to a loaf of bread with a glass of water. But I was happy it was enough to survive this ordeal. Every time she entered the wooden door cracked load so I see it as a warning. I thought of freeing myself and run as fast as I can but in the end, fear takes over me and I change my mind. I don’t want to piss her off. The door cracked again and her high heels echoed in the entire place.- How is my little prisoner doing?Why the sudden interest in me? There are moments when I don’t really care what happens to me as long as this lunatic is being caught and punished. - Why do you care?- Well, I don’t, I was making some conversation because I have to give you some fresh news.- What could possibly be so

If I could just tell him not to listen to her; she was going to kill me anyway.- Good morning sunshine!- You have no right calling me this way you sick!- Oh, is this how are you going to treat me? I have a question and I demand an answer if you wish this to be over quickly.I was looking at her in disbelief and wondering what in the world was going on in that sick mind of hers? - I will take your silence as a yes.
