Ariana’s POV

The doctor stood there, tapping his pen against the clipboard while the nurse, Tina, adjusted the monitors. The doctor looked like a man who had seen a lot of strange things in a New York hospital.

"Miss Tokes," he started, his voice calm. "We’ve been monitoring your blood work closely since you arrived. Your hCG levels are significantly elevated."

I blinked, my brain still feeling a little foggy from the exhaustion. "Elevated? What does that mean? Is it a side effect of the scorpi

  • Stranded on an Island with Mr. CEO   Clear evidence

    Nathaniel's POVBy 6:00 PM, we were at the precinct. The air inside was thick with the smell of burnt coffee and old paper. The detective assigned to our case was a man who looked like he hadn’t slept since the late nineties. He had heavy bags under his eyes and a weary expression that suggested he’d seen too many family disputes to care about ours.He asked the basic questions about names, addresses, and relationship to the suspect with a dry, monotonous voice. Then, he tapped his pen on the desk. "I’ll need to question you separately. Miss Tokes, come with me."I watched them walk into a small, glass-walled room. I could see her through the partition, looking small but determined. About twenty minutes later, she was ushered out, and it was my turn.I sat across from the detective. He didn't look impressed by my suit or my name. "So, Mr. Coop. You claim the suspect held a weapon to the victim’s head. Did you actually see him pull the trigger?""He didn't need to pull it for it to be

  • Stranded on an Island with Mr. CEO   Gunpoint

    Ariana’s POVHe turned the phone screen toward me. It was a text from his security team. My heart stopped. "Maya is being held at the apartment. As soon as she got out of her car, Arthur jumped her. He’s holding her at gunpoint in front of the house. My men are there, but they can’t engage without risking her life."The blood drained from my face. "Maya? Why is she always getting roped into my mess?" I felt a wave of nausea. I owed that girl everything, and now her life was on the line. "Nathaniel, what are we going to do? We can't let him hurt her.""I’ve already alerted the police," Nathaniel said, his voice dropping into that calm, authoritative tone he used when things were at their worst. "But we have to go there. We need to deescalate the situation before they arrive. Just promise me you will listen to everything I say once we arrive. Do not try to be a hero."I nodded fervently. "I promise."The drive to Astoria felt like it took hours, even though the driver was pushing the sp

  • 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

    Ariana's POV The memory hit me as I stared into the dying embers of our fire. I was twenty-two, standing in the cramped kitchen of my father’s apartment in Greenwich Village. The air smelled of stale coffee and the lemon-scented floor wax he made me use every Saturday."I got the internship, Dad,"

    Ariana's POV "Mr. Coop! Nathaniel, look at me!"He wasn't looking at me. His eyes were open, but they were fixed on the sky, glassy and unfocused. His leg had swollen to nearly twice its size, the skin pulled tight and shiny, turning a sickening shade of bruised plum. Every few seconds, a violent
