Stranded on an Island with Mr. CEO Public declaration
Ariana’s POVIt’s not every day you find out that your entire life has been built on a lie. I lay in the hospital bed, staring at the ceiling tiles, trying to make sense of it. How could my mother do this? She had left me with a man who wasn't even my father and just disappeared into the wind. Did she not think I deserved to know who actually gave me life?Who is he? The thought made my heart ache with a strange kind of hope. Maybe he was out there, a man who would actually care for me. Maybe he had no idea I existed, which is why he never came for me all these years. But then the fear crept in. He probably has a whole other life, a family. Would he even want a grown daughter showing up at his door?My head was starting to throb from the sheer weight of the questions. Nathaniel told me to stay calm, but he had gone off hours ago, leaving me with nothing but my thoughts. I felt a surge of relief when the door swung open and Maya burst in, grinning from ear to ear."Mr. Coop called and
Stranded on an Island with Mr. CEO Preparations for the future
Nathaniel's POV It was 4:00 PM, and the hospital room was bathed in the soft, orange glow of the late afternoon sun. Ariana was sleeping soundly beside me, her breathing deep and peaceful. I just lay there, staring at the ceiling, my mind going through a number of things. I was calculating every possible outcome, trying to build a fortress around the woman in my arms.Then, my phone rang.The ringtone pierced the quiet room very loudly. I muttered a curse under my breath, fumbling for the device on the nightstand. I quickly checked to make sure Ariana hadn't stirred, then untangled myself from her warmth as gently as possible. I slipped out of the bed and walked to the far corner of the room before answering.It was my father."Yes?" I said, my voice low and to the point."You have not been to the company today," his voice boomed on the other end, devoid of any fatherly concern. "I wondered where you were. Your mother tells me you are at a clinic with the intern girl.""I am," I said
Stranded on an Island with Mr. CEO Choosing her
Ariana’s POV The woman took a few more slow, calculated steps into the room, her eyes darting around like she expected a cockroach to leap out from the shadows. Then, her gaze snapped back to me, doing another slow crawl from my messy hair down to the thin, wrinkled fabric of my hospital gown.I was acutely aware of how I must look. My hair was likely a bird's nest from tossing and turning, and meeting the parents in a flimsy gown wasn't exactly the power move I would have chosen. I felt exposed and intimidated, but I didn't let it show. I forced a polite smile onto my face because, despite everything, a part of me desperately wanted Nathaniel’s family to like me."Hello, ma’am," I said, trying to keep my voice steady. "I’m Ariana. Nathaniel isn’t here at the moment. Would you like to wait for him?"The woman didn't answer immediately. She walked over to the chair Nathaniel had vacated, gripped the back of it with two manicured fingers, and dragged it several inches further away from
Stranded on an Island with Mr. CEO Mrs. Coop
Ariana's POVThe first thing I heard was a rhythmic beep. It was steady and annoying, pulling me back from a deep, heavy darkness. I tried to move, but my limbs felt like they were made of wet sand. Everything was too much effort. Just as I realized someone was holding my left hand—their grip tight, warm, and oddly grounding—the weight of exhaustion dragged me back under. I slipped off the edge of consciousness again before I could even twitch a finger.The second time I woke, the fog had cleared. I felt lighter, more present. I slowly blinked my eyes open and the first thing I saw was a mop of sleek, dark hair resting on the edge of my mattress.Nathaniel.He was hunched over, his head resting on his arms right next to my hip. I stared at him for a moment, my mind wandering. I used to watch movies where the hero would sit by a hospital bed for days, and I’d always think it was so impractical. Why wouldn't they just go home, get a good night's sleep in a n actual bed, and come back fr
Stranded on an Island with Mr. CEO Unexpected information
Nathaniel's POVI was barely three blocks away, still feeling the lingering warmth of Ariana’s arms around my neck, when my phone vibrated loudly. It was the lead security detail Gurner had placed on Maya’s street."Report," I said, my voice already tightening."Sir, we have an incident. A man approached Miss Ariana outside the building. He was aggressive. He had his hands on her throat. We intervened, but he fled into the alleys. Two men are in pursuit."The world seemed to stop for a second. The air in the car turned freezing. "Is she hurt?" I growled, my hand gripping the leather armrest so hard the stitching groaned."She’s shaken, sir. She’s retreated inside the apartment. We have a man at her door now.""Turn the car around," I snapped at the driver. "Now!"My driver didn't hesitate. He swung the heavy SUV into a violent u-turn, tires screeching as he navigated the narrow Astoria street with perfect ease. I made a mental note to give the man a substantial raise. He was faithful,
Stranded on an Island with Mr. CEO Making demands
Ariana's POVIt felt like I was walking toward my own execution. My heart thumped frantically against my ribs, making me lightheaded. I kept telling myself to be brave, but with every step I took toward the shadows of that rusted street lamp, the air seemed to get thinner.He’s not going to hurt me, I tried to convince myself. Not in the middle of a street in Astoria. But I knew my father. I knew the man who had raised me, and I knew that logic didn't always apply to him when he was on a rave. The closer I got, the more my throat closed up, but I steeled my resolve. I wouldn't let him see me tremble. Not this time.I stopped several feet away at a safe distance, though it didn't feel safe enough. We stood there, the orange glow of the street light casting faint distorted shadows on the pavement between us. It was still daytime but the sun would go down soon. "Dad," I said, my voice flat and devoid of emotion.He looked at me, his eyes hooded and dark. A slow, mocking smile spread acr
Stranded on an Island with Mr. CEO The downpour
Nathaniel’s POV I was in a boardroom in Manhattan. The air conditioning hummed, and there was a crystal carafe of ice water on the table. I was reaching for it when a loud, rhythmic drumming snapped me awake. It was the roar of water hitting the blue tarp above our heads. The sky had finally open

Ariana's POV I didn't sleep well. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw Mr. Coop sliding down that rocky slope. The sight of his blood on my hands had done something to me. It made the island feel less like a temporary setback and more like a bad guy waiting for one of us to slip up.The morning sun

Ariana's POV The morning of our fourth day felt heavier than the rest. The excitement of finding the stream had worn off, replaced by the crushing reality that it was too far away to be useful. I sat on the sand, watching the sun crawl up the sky. It felt like a ticking clock, except the clock was

Nathaniel's POV I woke up before the sun had fully cleared the horizon. My body felt like it had been reconstructed out of rust and glass, but the routine of waking early was too deeply ingrained to break. For a moment, I looked at the intern sleeping beside me. She was curled into a ball under th
