Final Chapter

?? LOVE ISLAND ??

“If the jet is back, then am coming there. No one leaves without me”Oliver said to the receiver and immediately end the call .

He took to his heels, heading to port where the jet will be waiting for him. He was almost at the gate when he saw Melissa there.

“We need to talk Oliver”She said to him.

“Not now. Let’s do it some other time”Oliver returned as he turned to leave.

“I know where Isobel is”She said and he stopped mid way to stare at her.

“What?”

“I said I know where Isobel is”Melissa told him.

“Where is she or is this a plan to lure me from finding her?”Oliver asked as he walked towards her.

“It isn’t a plan to lure you. I know where she might be right now”Melissa replied.

“Start talking!”

“I overheard your father conversation on the phone the day he arrived and he was talking to Marco”

“What did he say?” Oliver demanded.

“That he would get Isobel to leave the island and once that happen. Marco can take her then and also I heard that he will be taking her to Puerto Rico”Melissa informed him.

“Really? How sure are you about this?”Oliver asked still doubting her words.

“Its the truth. I know am the last person you would want to believe. But believe me when I say that this is the truth. I can help you get to Marco hide out.

I know where it is. He told me about it when I decided to help him with Isobel before, I can take you there”Melissa suggested.

“Fine then. I choose to believe you now but if it turns out to be a lie. I won’t forgive you Melissa”Oliver warned and she nodded.

“Then let’s go”He urged as she followed him.

THE ISLAND BRIDE : CHAPTER 21 – THE END

? MARCO’S VILLA ?

Isobel woke up to find herself in an unfamiliar room. She was still trying to figure out how she got there when she heard his voice.

“Finally your awake”Marco said as he stood up from the sofa he had been watching her sleep on.

“Why are you here? “Isobel asked feeling a bit frightened by his presence.

“This is my villa”Marco replied.

“Were you the one who k!dnapped me?”She asked remembering how she had been taken in the airport.

“Not k!dnap. You make it sound bad. I didn’t k!dnap you my love, I only came for you”He said as he sat on the bed while Isobel moved away from him.

“What’s this? Are you running from me?” He asked.

“Stop this madness and just let me leave!”

“Madness! You call my love for you madness?”He asked suddenly looking angry.

“What is it if not madness. I clearly don’t like you but yet you keep on forcing me. If that isn’t madness then I don’t know what else to…..Arrgh!!!”She yelled when he got into the bed and pulled her towards him.

“My love for you isn’t madness. I layed my eyes on you and I knew then and there that you are the one for me but yet you insist on being with that good for nothing Oliver.

You even got married to him and you let him touch you in places where I should have!”He yelled at her.

“That’s because I love him! I don’t love you, why don’t you get that?”She said provoking him further.

She knew she’s meant to keep shut but she couldn’t. Not even In this circumstance.

“You are mine Isobel. Mine and mine alone!” He yelled as he bent towards her, kssing her lips.

She felt disgusted by his touch, she tried to push him away but it felt like she was just h!tting a brick wall.

“You are mine Isobel. I will prove that to you”He said as he moved away to unbutton her shirt.

“Stop it Marco! Stop it!”She yelled as she tried to hold onto her clothe but her attempt to cover up herself only fueled his determination.

He pulled off his clothe and began to kss to top curve of her bbs while holding both her hands.

Isobel couldn’t fight but she kept screaming. Hoping that someone will come safe her.

“Stop it Marco! Please stop!”she cried out in her last attempt and he did let her go.

“Your crying? Did I hurt you?”Marco asked as he got up from her while Isobel moved away from him.

“I didn’t mean to hurt you my love. Am sorry” he apologised.

“Just let me go! Let me leave”Isobel demanded.

“That can’t happen. Your mine Isobel and soon you will adapt to my love making”Marco told her.

“I cant adapt to anything cause I will be dying soon. Am going to die Marco, so stop whatever fantasies you have in your head”She yelled at him.

“Die? I already know about your illness and I won’t let you die. You can only die when I say so. Once we get to Puerto Rico, everything will change”He told her softly.

“Puerto Rico? Why should I go there with you?”

“Cause you will be my wife and wherever your husband goes, you must be there with him”Marco told her as he stood up, picking his fallen shirt.

“I don’t want to be anywhere with you”She threw at him.

“Much as I would like to continue our discussion, I just don’t have the time. Once we get to Puerto Rico. We can talk as much as you want and the talking will only be in bed.

Just that thought alone drives me nuts!”Marco said having a dev’lish smile on his face and with that he left her alone in the room.

Isobel felt scared and alone. If she had known that something like this would happen to her then she would have stayed with Oliver.

How she miss him, he must probably be looking for her she thought sadly.

It was late in the evening that she was dozing off on the bed that she began to hear voices. She thought it to be a dream but when she kept on hearing Oliver voice calling out her name, she realised then that it was real.

Getting off the bed she moved to the door, h!tting it and calling out to his name for him to know that she’s there.

“Isobel is that you?”She heard him ask and quickly she replied.

“Move back”He said kicking the door and when it finally opened, she ran straight into his arms.

“Are you okay?”Oliver asked and she nodded.

“What about you? How did you know where to find me?”She asked starring at him as if it was still unreal to her.

“With the help of Melissa and the police we were able to find this place”He replied.

“So you mean that the police are arresting Marco and his men right now?”Isobel asked and he nodded.

“If we had been hours late. He would have left for Puerto Rico with you”Oliver said with relief.

“Am sorry Oliver. Am sorry I left, I realise my mistake now and am not ever going to leave your side again”She said as she hugged him.

“Your needed down stairs boss”One of his guards said behind them.

Together they went downstairs and she saw the police taking out Marco men to the car where they would be transported to jail.

While Oliver disscuss some issue with the police captain. Isobel stood watching Marco being handcuffed and taken out.

Finally she will be free from Marco. They’ve been numerous times when she hope a day like today will come in the past but each time the police are about to get a clue on him.

They find nothing and since there was no evidence to put Marco in jail. They let him go but it’s been put to an end now.

Marco will spend the rest of his life in jail and she will be free from him for good.

She thought as she kept on starring at him but Marco had other agenda in mind because he pulled out one of the police men gvn even with his hands cuffed.

“If I can’t be happy with you then no one else will”He said pointing the gvn at Isobel.

Without blinking an eye, he fired the gvn and shocked by the whole thing. Isobel stood rigid, closing her eyes while expecting the bvllet to pierce into her but nothing came.

It wasn’t until she heard Melissa yell out Oliver name that she opened her eyes. Oliver was standing in front of her and if the bvllet hadn’t h!t her then surely it must have h!t Oliver.

Oliver fell right into her arms and she sat on the floor with him.

The bvllet had h!t him in the chest region and there were bI.ood stains on his shirt.

“Oliver”Isobel called as tears began to fall from her eyes.

“Call for an ambulance!”Melissa yelled before crouching beside them to take hold of Oliver hand.

“Your going to be fine. The ambulance will arrive soon”Isobel assured him but he shaked his head.

“I don’t….think I will make it”He muttered causing Isobel to cry out more.

“You will make it. Don’t say that”Isobel said even as she looked up to see Marco being dragged out of the room.

Oliver hand on her cheek got her looking at him again.

“I don’t think I can say much….but you should know…. that…..that I love you”He said.

“And I love you too but you don’t have to tell me this now. We can talk about it later when your…..”

“I won’t make it Isobel”he cut into her speech.

“You will make it! Stop saying that!”She yelled out in frustration.

“Where is the damn ambulance”Isobel yelled.

“Isobel I….I…..have to tell you that I……”Oliver began looking very pale while having Isobel attention.

“Don’t say anything. Just keep on looking at me. Please!”She pleaded and he smiled.

The smile were the last expression on his face before he blacked out.

THE ISLAND BRIDE : CHAPTER 21 – THE END

FIVE YEARS LATER

“So how is it?” Isobel asked as she took a seat in her doctor office.

“Should I start with the good or bad news?” The doctor asked.

“Let’s start with the good first”Isobel replied while hoping that it is a very good news.

“You’ve beaten the cancer Isobel. Though you still need further treatment. You are cure of the cancer”

“So you mean I won’t die?”She asked and the doctor nodded.

Feeling overwhelmed, she took hold of her doctor hand.

“Thank you. Thank you so much, I thought I wouldn’t make it but here I am and it’s all thanks to you”She said as the tears slid down her face.

“You did it all Isobel. You persevered through the Chemotherapy session. Some would have given up but you didn’t. You survived solely to live and am happy for you”The doctor said to her.

“And the bad news?” Isobel asked.

“Its not working. His condition is just deteriorating”The doctor said.

“And so the only way to stop all is this is by removing the life support?” Isobel asked and he nodded.

“I heard that you agreed to it and that you will be signing the papers tonight”The doctor said.

“Its for the best.Its time we put him to rest”Isobel said sadly.

“Am sorry” was the only thing the doctor could tell her.

A while later, Isobel took the elevator to the VIP Ward and head to a room in particular.

She walked in to see a nurse sponge bathing him.

“Can I do that?”She asked and the nurse nodded, leaving the rest for her to do.

Moving towards the bed. She stared down at the sleeping Oliver and kssed him on the forehead.

“Am here again”She said sadly as she began to sponge bathe him.

“You know it would have been great if you were here with me today. Have beaten the cancer and I won’t be dying again.

It was very hard but just like the doctor said I persevered and I made it out alive. I did a good job right?” She asked the sleeping Oliver.

“Melissa is getting married in a few days, though she wanted to come tell you herself but she’s too busy with the preparation.

Your company and the island is doing well. Your father is doing a great job in handling it though he would have liked it better for you to do it and he finally told me yesterday that am the best wife you could ever have”She said forcing back the tears.

“I promised not to cry but am doing that”She muttered as she wipe off her tears.

“Marco died in prison a week ago. A group f!ght and he had been $tabbed. I will say it’s karma for what he did right? But your being ¢ruel. Its been five years since you went into a coma. I know it’s my punishment for leaving you back then but I think that have been punished enough. Why don’t you wake up?”She said brightly still holding in her tears.

“Its a beautiful day. You should wake up to see it”She added as she finished the sponge bathing.

Sitting on the chair beside him. She took hold of his hand and kssed it.

“I will be staying here with you today. I promise not to leave your side”She stated as she layed her head on his bed and before she knew it. She dozed off only to be woken by his father.

“What time is it?”She asked as she saw that it was night time.

“Seven in the evening and it’s time”His father said as she turned to see the doctor and nurses who were waiting to switch off the life support with their order.

“Its still too soon. Can’t we do it later”She said wanting to get more time.

“If we don’t do it now. We won’t get the chance to do it again and it isn’t fair to Oliver. Its time for him to rest “His father said pulling her up while signalling the doctor to begin.

“No…Let’s not do it. Don’t touch him!”Isobel yelled as she pulled out of his father arms, going back to Oliver.

“Don’t touch my husband. Oliver will wake up. He has to….he promised to be with me. He has never let me down before, he wouldn’t let me down now!”She said as the tears began to pour.

“Isobel let’s just ….”

“No! No one touches him. Don’t lay a hand on my husband”She said as layed over him to protect him from everyone.

It was then that she noticed his hands. While sponge bathing him. His hand had been unclenched but now his hand is clenched.

Moving towards him, she pried his hand open only to find her hair pin in it. She could swear that it had been on her hair before dozing off, how did it get into his hands except he…..

“Oh my God!”She yelled out when she saw his hand move.

“Did you see that? Did you see that?”She asked the people in the room who had also noticed it.

“Oliver?”His father voice rang out and before she turned to stare at him, she could tell that he was already awake.

Oliver had his eyes open and though it was a bit blurry, he could identify Isobel amongst the people in the room.

“Iso…bel” he called softly and the excited Isobel went towards him.

“Its me my love. Am here”She said as she began crying tears of Joy.

The minutes that went by were of the doctor checking up on him and she stood in the waiting room with his father.

“Is he fully awake?”Isobel asked as soon as the doctor walked out.

“He is and he is asking for you”The doctor said to her.

“Go to him. I will see him once you’ve finished kssing and cuddling him”His father said and she gave him a warm smile before dashing into the room.

Oliver was seating up and as soon as she walked into the room. He gave her a bright smile while she burst into tears.

“What’s wrong?”He asked as soon as she got to his side.

“You slept far too long. Have been waiting for you for five years. You put me in so much agony”She said crying profusely and he pulled her into the bed with him.

“Am sorry. Am sorry for making everyone worried. From now on I promise that I will do my best to always make you happy”He assured and she stopped crying to give him a bright smile.

A while later after telling him about the things he missed for a whole five years. She cuddled close to him.

“I can’t believe that your here in my arms again”She muttered.

“You better believe it and this time I will be staying for a very long time”He replied.

“Thank you for coming back to me. I love you”She muttered before kssing him on his lips.

“Thank you too for not giving up on me. I will always love you my island bride” He said as he moved to kss her only for her to pull away.

“What’s wrong?”He asked.

“You haven’t brushed your mouth for five years”She told him jokingly.

“Who cares? Your my wife, your meant to love me as I am”He said pulling her close when she would have moved away.

“Not in this circumstance”She said playfully.

“Your asking for a punishment and this is the pvnishment”He said as he kssed her deeply.

“I really like this pvnishment of yours. Pvnish me some more”She said se..ductively and he obliged her. Kssing her deeply while they forget about everyone else even Oliver father who still stood waiting to see his son.
