Paula turned to Skylar as soon as Gian had driven off leaving the two of them standing by her car. She folded her hands on her chest and turned to glare at her.
“ Now tell me everything. What's complicated in your relationship with him, that you can't tell him you're not interested” Paula asked Skylar as she walked around to her white Benz, getting into the driver's side while she waited for Skylar to make herself comfortable beside her.
“ I never told him that I wanted to date him. Hell, I didn't even accept to date him. He just assumes and acts on that. Everything seems like a dream to me. One minute, Gian is on the floor kneeling and pleading with me to date him and another, I'm being bundled off into the car to God's knows where” Skylar laments as she puts her head in between her hands in shock. she couldn
Vino stepped out of the plane with Elise by his side, he reached out to take his carrier bag and pulled Elise closer to him, he called something to his pilot who nodded at him before he turned and walked down to the room where he had glimpsed Skylar standing with Paula laughing at something she said...Initially, he wasn't interested in things like this__ He would have liked to have remained in the office, getting busy with work and depending on it to take his mind off Skylar's dating Gian. Speaking of Gian, he saw him perched on one side of the hotel, facing a canvas as he drew a boy who was standing in front of him, an excited smile on his face as he was happy to be his model.“ Look who we've got here. I never believed you would come” Paula called excitedly as she walked closer to smile up at Vino as soon as she saw hi
Elise watched as Skylar stood up from the room as she rushed off in the direction of the toilet, a gasp escaping her lips as she tried to know what was wrong with her. Hope this wasn't her imagination or could Skylar be pregnant? No, she couldn't possibly be pregnant with Gian's child, that was too early and if it isn't Gian then Vi___No, that can't be. Vino couldn't do that to her. He knows how much she is in love with him. She has been hoping that one day they will be together only for this to happen.Elise stood up from the dining and excused herself to go to her room. Her mind was in turmoil trying to know what was wrong with Skylar. She wanted to creep down there and ask her what was wrong with her or was it something with the food? No, this is a normal delicacy they are all used to, not the local one.
Skylar walked down the stairs sluggishly with a feeling of dread. It was past 6 pm and she wasn’t feeling like talking to anyone but Paula has insisted that they all had a bonfire dinner and tell each other tales about themselves. Skylar couldn’t help rolling her eyes at her suggestion, as far as she know they weren’t some kind of high school teenagers that she could tell.“ There you are. I was about to come to get you from your room. I thought you’d develop cold feet” Skylar turned to see Paula smiling up at her from the stairs, she was standing in front of the receptionist staring at her.Skylar rolled her eyes at her as she brushed past her but paused as soon as she saw Elise dressed in white skimpy clothes clinging to the arms of Vino like her life depended on it” Wait, did you tell her
Skylar walked down to the breakfast table, a feeling of dread enveloped her as she dreaded seeing Vino’s face this morning. With the way she had rejected him last night, she doubts he wouldn't be on the next plane back to New York right now. And even if he does that, she wouldn't blame him.“I mean, who would stay after all the embarrassment she had given him,” Skylar thought to herself as she made her way down to the lobby." Good morning, Miss Evans" The receptionist, a young girl in her early thirties, greeted Skylar as she stepped down from the stairs into the lobby " Sleep well?" She continued as she smiled at Skylar before bending down to search for something under her desk." Yes, thank you. Hawaii is such a beautiful place that I couldn't help sleeping soundly" Skylar replied in a
Elise stepped into the bedroom, which she shared with Vino after she had to get away from the restaurant. She was surprised to meet Vino in the room, he stared angrily into her face like he's ready to punch her if she did anything that wasn't alright.Elise sighed heavily and walked into the room, closing the door gently as she went to stand beside him, she knew he was in a bad mood. She imagines his father talking to him angrily about the drop in the shares and her heart reaching out to him.“ I'm sorry about your shares. I wish we all knew about the reporter who ratted you out. If only_____ ”" Why didn't you tell me about Adora?" Vino asked her as he stood up from the bed and made himself comfortable on the couch opposite her as he wanted to watch her facial expression. mix-up
Immediately Skylar stepped into the hotel, she knew all was not well. Right from the moment she met Paula pacing at the reception with a frown on her face, she knew something drastic had happened but she couldn't even imagine what that was?“ There you are” Paula exclaimed as soon as she saw Skylar approaching her with Gian following closely behind her.“ Where have you been? I've been trying to get in touch with you but your phone has been switched off” Paula told her as she nodded in greeting to Gian who was spotting a smile on his face.“ How are you, Paula,?” Gian voiced his greeting as he turned to walk away trying to give them privacy but Paula's voice stopped him on his track.
Vino stood perplexed at the foot of the plane surprised, he couldn't believe he was hallucinating right now. What was he expecting, that she comes with open arms saying that she wants him back? No, never, Skylar was too proud to do that. it was his fault for listening to Paula in the first place. No one could ever persuade Skylar to make up with him unless she wants to. It only shows that he loves her more than she did to him.“ Boss, the plane is about to leave”Vino turned to his bodyguards who had surprisingly shown up as requested by his brother Michael due to the media who were heavy on their quest.Vino nodded but pause as he let his eyes run through his body before stopping at the blinking noise on his stomach “ How many times I've I warned you not to come to me with a fake bomb on you
Skylar coughed as she tried to force her eyes open but it seemed too heavy for her to lift. At first, it seemed fuzzy but after she got her eyes open, she turned to stare at the darkroom in shock as she couldn't believe what she was doing here away from the hotel.A quick glance at her legs and hands, she discovered that they were being tired by heavy rope while she sat on a stool. Skylar tried to break free from the rope on her hands which was tied behind the chair but all to no avail.The memory of the past day flooded her memory as she remembers going to meet Vino at the airport before coming in contact with Elise. Speaking of Vino, Skylar couldn't help wondering if he was alright? Did Elise go through with her threat? Skylar cursed herself loudly for being weak. She couldn't protect herself or the man she loves. What will s
