Matthais’s POV

“We are so sorry for coming late everyone….. we spent the night together and we woke up later than usual”, Ivy said and my fist tightened. I instantly forgot the reason that caused the confusion in the research hall initially and my gaze was Ivy’s hand.

  • Stranded: My Step Uncle’s Secret Obsession   Chapter thirteen

    Matthais’s POV “We are so sorry for coming late everyone….. we spent the night together and we woke up later than usual”, Ivy said and my fist tightened. I instantly forgot the reason that caused the confusion in the research hall initially and my gaze was Ivy’s hand. She was holding Caleb’s hand so tight that it felt like if she released his hand for just a second, she would have to spend years before she would get hold of it again. “Matthias… what is this about?” Sofia’s voice interrupted my thoughts and the anger slowly building up in me as I stared at Ivy’s and Caleb’s interlocked hands. I shifted my gaze to Sofia reluctantly and sighed slowly as the realization of what I just saw dawned on me. “I can’t explain that either. What they just posted is the same thing we have been working on for months now”, I muttered and sat down on my chair slowly. “That only means there is an intruder on this island”, I added. “How is that even possible?” Sofia wondered and handed over the phone t

  • Stranded: My Step Uncle’s Secret Obsession   Chapter twelve

    Matthias’s POV I entered the lab at exactly seven am and I met my workers in the lab already doing their work. Seeing that alone made me grateful for the kind of staff I have and a large appeared on my face because I could stop it. “Good morning everyone”, I greeted jovially and pulled out my chair to drop my chair on it. “Good morning boss”, they all replied with the same tone and I nodded slightly before settling down on my chair. Since today is Friday and we have done a lot of work during the week, I have to review the reports of the work that we have done. I searched through my table and discovered that the weekly reports haven't been dropped here. “What is all this?” I muttered and rested my face in my palms as I tried to put my emotions under control. “We have had a great week so far, just overlook this one”, I thought to myself and raised my head up to call the person in charge of the reports. “Sofia….. Sofia”, I called softly and she turned back to look at me. “I need you her

  • Stranded: My Step Uncle’s Secret Obsession   Chapter eleven

    Matthias’s POV After spending a little over an hour enjoying ourselves, Violet and I collapsed on the bed and slept off immediately. I managed to cover our body with the duvet before I finally closed my eyes tightly and gave in to sleep. “Uhmmm”, I groaned as I opened my eyes slowly, the morning light slipping in through the window that was opened slightly. I stretched my hand to my phone that was placed carefully on the drawer beside the bed and picked it up. I switched it on with my eyes slightly closed because of the impact of the sleep but then the sleep in my eyes cleared off immediately I saw the time. “Christ, wake up Violet”, I snapped and tapped Violet thrice beside me. I stood up and sat properly on the bed. “Uhmmm”, Violet groaned beside me as she rubbed her eyes with her fingers sleepily. “What time is it?” she murmured, with her eyes slightly closed. “It's a few minutes past six now and we have to be in the lab by seven, there are still a lot of reports to complete toda

    Matthias’s POV “Why will you enter my room like that? It’s not done”, Ivy snapped at me the moment she opened her eyes and I shifted slightly from where I stood. I know that Ivy has been trying so hard to get my attention ever since she arrived at this island and technically, this should make her happy and not have her snap at me. “I just asked you a question Mat… why are you here?”, she snapped again and that made me snap out of my thoughts. “Focus Mat”, I thought and cleared my throat before moving closer. “I….. I came….. I actually came here to talk to you”, I stuttered as I replied to her, watching her cover herself with the duvet before she moved to the closet to put on a nightmare. I turned my back at her immediately and I could still feel the rush of heat brushing through me even when I can’t see her but I just have the knowledge that I am in the same space with her. “What do you want to talk about?”, I heard her talk after about two minutes which means she is done with what

  • Stranded: My Step Uncle’s Secret Obsession   Chapter nine

    Ivy’s POV "I need your help”, I said immediately the call connected after the third ring. “Why are you calling me at this time of the night?” a thick and distorted voice said at the other end of the call making it obvious that he was sleeping by the time he picked the call. I decided to call Caleb and talk to him about how I am feeling because he is still the only one that seems to understand me on this island. “I have something important to discuss with you”, I said hurriedly as I walked toward the door that leads to my room. “Ivy”, he called like he just realized I am the one he has been on the phone with. “How did you get my number?”, he asked, his voice was louder now and I assumed that the sleep must have cleared off his face now. “That doesn’t matter now”, I muttered as I opened the door to my room slowly and put on the switch to bring the light on. “It does Ivy. You can’t just call me like that…. I don’t want issues”, he said. “You know what I am talking about”, he added slo

  • Stranded: My Step Uncle’s Secret Obsession   Chapter eight

    Ivy’s POV I have been in this storage room since morning, making sure that the log books and their so-called labelled containers are properly arranged. “I’m too attracted to that so-called uncle of mine to even say I hate him behind his back”, I muttered and picked up my phone on the table to check the time. “Oh my God”, I screamed when I saw that the time was already a few minutes past seven. I dropped the phone immediately and started arranging the containers and the log books on the shelf. At exactly seven thirty, I carried my bags to leave even though there were still a series of files and labelled containers scattered all over the place but I was too tired to fix it. “I’ll fix the rest tomorrow”, I muttered and yawned lazily and walked towards the door. I halted when I suddenly heard footsteps moving towards the storage room and I suspected that it belonged to Matthais. I have had a crush on him for so long that I studied and took note of everything about him. A wide smile tou

    Ivy’s POV Even after Matthias left the room, I didn’t leave my spot for about two minutes, still replaying the scene in my head over and over again. The way he stopped on his tracks and the way his eyes hovered over my body for five long minutes. He might not approve of it, but I know that scene m

    Nobody had warned me about the silence.I pressed my face closer to the car window as the vehicle wound deeper into the island's interior, watching the landscape roll past in shades of green so vivid they looked almost artificial—dense jungle pressing against both sides of the narrow road, interrup

    "What the hell were you thinking, Ivy? Why did I just get a call at six o'clock this morning telling me that my daughter has been expelled from a university again?"My father's voice hit me before I had even fully stepped through the door of his office. I shut it behind me, set my bag down, and loo
