The Oceanfront
Chapter one
Letting out a moan Sonny blinks his eyes open. As his eyes adjust to the light in the
room he hears Jason's voice calling out to him…
"Hey" Jason simply remarks as he watches his best friend's eyes flutter open. The doctor had left about an hour ago after reassuring him that Sonny would be alright…well as long as Sonny rested that is and if anyone knew Sonny Corinthos they would know it wouldn't be an easy task to get Sonny to rest after he almost died by the hands of his enemy.
Hearing Jason's voice Sonny asks confused "Where's the blonde?"
"The blonde?" Jason questions back confused
"Yeah the blonde woman who saved me. Where the hell is she?"
Figuring Sonny must have been hallucinating since he lost a lot of blood Jason informs
him "I found you at the oceanfront alone Sonny and took you to the safe house before anyone saw us"
"There was a blonde Jason!" Sonny insists as he sits up; letting out a grunt from the pain he was feeling
"You should lie back down. You lost a lot of blood and-"
Cutting Jason off Sonny informs Jason "I didn't save myself Jason. That mother fucker Savage tied me down with weights after he shot me and threw me off his fucking boat. Just as I was about to blackout I saw a blonde woman swim towards me. She managed to untie the shackles that were tied around my feet and then she proceeded to pull me towards the shoreline. Once she pulled me out of the water I remember asking her, her name but before she could tell me I passed out."
"I'll have our men over here look into it Sonny but me need to get back to Port Charles"
"You expect me to run away like some coward?! Hell NO!" Sonny snaps out, since there was nooooooooooo fucking way he was going to leave Florida especially after Savage almost killed him.
After tossing her blood stained bikini top into the hamper underneath her dirty
clothes Carly walks out of her washroom door and makes her way towards her bed.
Grabbing her pink top that was on her bed Carly puts it on as she hears someone knocking
on her bedroom door…
"Who is it?"
"It's your father Caroline we need to talk"
"Hold on" Carly calls out as she grabs her daisy duke shorts and puts them on…. "Come in"
Opening her bedroom door Frank Benson remarks "Joey Savage called a few times about you. He seemed worried."
Letting out a heavy sigh, Carly remarks "Well as you can see I'm fine father"
"Where were you tonight?"
"I went surfing"
"Joey doesn't like you surfing at night. The beachfront isn't as safe as it used to be" Frank points out
"The lakeside isn't safe because of Joey Savage father" Carly remarks since he was the one who brought his drug dealers to the shore. Now the place was crawling with
drug users looking to get high.
"Regardless who fault it is, it's still not safe for you to be hanging around there at night Caroline"
"Don't pretend father that you care about my wellbeing because IF you did you wouldn't make me marry that bastard"
"YOU know why you have to marry him Caroline"
"Right because YOU got in over your head and ended up owning Savage way more than you could pay him back so you broker me to him like I was some object you owned!" Carly snaps out
"Would you rather see me die at his hands than to marry him?!"
"Of course not which is WHY I agreed to marry him father"
"As much as you hate me for being the reason you have to marry Joey Savage I hate myself more for having to have my own daughter save my hide" Frank states as he locks eyes with his daughter
"Well maybe I won't have to marry him after all father" Carly sighs out heavily
"Caroline right now isn't time for one of your plans. YOU have to marry him or I will die!" Frank shouts out
"I don't have a plan father. I just heard Michael Sonny Corinthos was in town and well rumor has it he doesn't like Joey Savage whatsoever"
Choosing that moment to walk into her bedroom Joey states with a grin across his face…
"I wouldn't worry your pretty little head about Mr. Corinthos because he's been
handled my dear"
"Took him on your boat?" Carly questions knowing that's how he got rid of his competition which is why she knew where to swim out to save Mr. Corinthos from certain death in hopes Mr. Corinthos would save her from having to marry Joey Savage by doing what mobsters do best; killing each other.
"Are you asking me about my business?"
"Just curious that's all because rumor had it Mr. Corinthos wasn't pleased about your drug dealing ways"
"If you know what's good for you, you would stay away from the gossip mill and put your focus on what matters like our wedding." Savage states since he didn't need his soon to be wife putting her nose into his business. She may be good looking but he didn't trust her whatsoever knowing she was only marrying him to keep her father alive.
"Don't worry dear all I can think about is our wedding" Carly remarks truthfully since ever since she found out she had to marry him she's been having nightmares ever
night about it.
"Good girl" Joey smiles which causes Caroline to cringe at him. Just as he was about to get to the bottom of her disappearing act today his cellphone starts to ring. Pulling
out his phone from out of his pocket he grins when he sees by the caller ID it was his diver who was calling him to confirm Corinthos death…. "Yeah?...WHAT?! What do you MEAN you can't find him?! WELL keep looking! I'm on way over there!"
"Problem dear?" Carly asks as she tries her best to fight back a grin since she had a feeling his problem was Sonny Corinthos AKA the man she saved earlier tonight.
"Nothing for you to worry about" Joey remarks before heading out of her bedroom door.
Seeing the smile that appears across her face as Joey left her bedroom Frank asks "What
are you so happy about?"
"I'm just hoping Joey Savage gets what's coming to him that's all" Carly remarks before heading out of her bedroom door to get herself some chilly fries and a burger since she was starving
"Where are you going now?"
"Going to get a burger" Carly calls out as she disappears down the hallway
As Jason walks into the bedroom Sonny immediately asks "Did you figure out who the blonde was that saved me?"
"Not yet" Jason sighs out heavily
"I want her found tonight Jason!" Sonny snaps out
"I get that you're grateful to this mysterious woman who risked her life to save yours but your main focus should be on Savage"
"Jason the blonde who saved me is now at risk because of me. All it takes is ONE person to have seen her save my life and that woman is as good as dead. You and I both know that Savage has no problem breaking the code of leaving woman and children alone. He will kill any witness to cover his crimes to save his own hide. WE need to find her before he figures out who saved my life because he will kill her in fear she could possibly rat him out to the feds for what he did to me. And as much as I'm grateful towards the blonde who saved me I can't risk having her going to the cops either Jason. If the cops get involved in this it's just going to put Savage in the spotlight; making it harder to kill the son of the bitch"
"We'll I doubt she will go to the cops since she had plenty of time to do so and hasn't yet. I'll go out to the waterfront and look for any clues as to who may have been out there but our men haven't found anything yet. Savage however does know you're not dead by now so if he's smart-"
"He'll kill himself before I get my hands on him myself" Sonny interrupts with a deadly glare.
She was supposed to be across town getting her fitting done for her wedding dress
but instead she was on Sonny Corinthos's turf. The bar called The Horizon was
Savage's main competition; and of course Sonny Corinthos owned it. The second she pushes the door open she hears a guy call out to her as he places a box of booze onto the bar countertop "We're close lady"
"I need to see your boss Sonny Corinthos" Carly states as she sits herself down at
one of the tables near the doorway.
"The boss goes for brunettes, but hey maybe if you dyed your hair the boss would want your company"
"I'm not here for pleasure. I'm here for business; strictly business"
"We don't need any more waitresses"
"I don't wait on people" Carly states
"We'll Mr. Corinthos isn't seeing anyone right now"
"I need to see him its important"
Letting out a heavy sigh he utter out to her "Jason Morgan is in the back office. You want to see the boss you're going to have to speak with him"
"Fine" Carly states as she stands up and makes her way towards the back office
Meanwhile in Sonny's office, Jason just got off the phone with Sonny who was not please
to find out that no one could find the mystery blonde who saved his life.
With a heavy sigh Jason stands up from the chair he was sitting on to go back on the
search for the blonde despite the fact he believed his focus should be on Savage instead of the mystery woman when the office doors opens
"Jason Morgan I need you to take me to Sonny Corinthos right now" Carly orders out knowing she needed to see Sonny the sooner the better. As his eyes stare intensely back at her, she chews on her lower lip as she admires his deadly blue eyes.
"Who are you and what do you want with Sonny?" Jason demands wondering who this woman was who thought she could just barge into Sonny's office without knocking first and demand him to take her to Sonny.
"Who I am doesn't matter. Sonny Corinthos owes me a favor and I'm cashing in"
"If you want to see Sonny you're going to have to tell me who you are and what favor you think Sonny owes you" Jason remarks back, as he silently wonders if this woman was either really brave or really stupid.
"I'll give you one out of two. He owes me a favor because if it wasn't for me he would have died last night." Carly remarks as she unties the wrap around dress she had on and shows off the blood stained bikini top she wore the night before.
At the safe house Sonny angrily slams the phone after Jason gave him his word that
he would go back to the waterfront to look for the blonde. He wasn't use to waiting. He ALWAYS got what he wanted when he wanted it and he wanted that blonde found yesterday!
With a grunt Sonny reaches for the morning paper that one of his guards had brought
into his room along with his breakfast. As he skims through the newspaper his eyes catches a picture that makes him do a double take…. IT was the mystery blonde with SAVAGE of all people; announcing their engagement.
As his phone starts to ring Sonny reaches for his phone with a grunt and answers
it "Yeah"
Glancing towards the blonde as she ties her dress back up Jason states "I found the blonde"
With his eyes glued onto the newspaper announcement of Savage's fiancé Sonny states
in a clam deadly voice "Bring her to me"
"Was the blindfold really necessary?" Carly asks as she walks towards a house that seemed to be in the middle of nowhere
"Yeah" Jason simply replies as he follows closely behind her
As she approaches the staircase of the porch a man dress in a black suit and tie opens the front door "About time you made it the boss was getting impatient"
"She didn't want to wear the blindfold Gary" Jason explains as the woman who saved his best friend's life made her way up the stairs and walked past Gary.
The second she walks past Sonny's muscle AKA the man Jason called Gary she spots
the man she was looking forward to seeing since last night sitting on a chair wearing black slacks and a matching black tank top with a newspaper folded on his lap.
"Sonny"
"Sonny?" Sonny questions back with a raised brow since people calling him by his first name who wasn't a close friend or family was a sign of disrespect
"Well I did saved your life so I think that gives me the right to call you Sonny don't it?" Carly questions back as Jason Morgan walks up behind her.
"I suppose that's alright since you did save me."
"Good" Carly grins as he stares back at her intensely
"So since we're on a first name bases I think I should know the name of the woman who risked her life to save mine"
"The name is Caroline Roberts but my friends just call me Carly"
"Don't lie to me" Sonny warns her with a clench jaw since he HATED to be lied to
"I'm not lying to you"
"You are too and you just lied to me again about not lying to me which makes that two lies now in less than five minutes of meeting me!" Sonny snaps out
"I'm NOT lying!" Carly insists wondering how on earth he could be sooooooooo damn sure she was lying since she always prided herself on being a good liar.
"YES YOU ARE!" Sonny shouts out as he stands up clutching the newspaper in his hand; fighting the urge to moan out in pain as he does so
"NO I'M NOT!" Carly maintains as she shouts back at him.
Opening the folded newspaper Sonny shows her the engagement announcement that had her picture plaster on it alongside that bastard Joey Savage… "YES YOU ARE!"
Seeing the announcement Carly chews on her lower lip a little since she had forgot the
announcement was hitting the newspapers today…. "Okay so it was a half lie. My first name is really Caroline and my friends really do call me Carly but my name really doesn't matter anyways. What counts it that I saved your life so you owe me and I want you to pay up now." Carly defends herself
Tossing the newspaper onto the coffee table that was nearby Sonny asks "Alright what do you want?"
"What just like that?" Carly questions since it felt WAY TOO easy
"You did save my life" Sonny point outs as Jason stares at him while leaning against the wall watching them this whole time in silence
"Yes I did"
"So what do you want?" Sonny asks again
"I don't want to marry Joey Savage" Carly states
"So don't marry him"
"If I don't marry him my father dies. My father owes him a lot of money and well since he couldn't pay him back I was broker into the situation as a way to pay Savage back for the debt my father owes" Carly explains.
"Don't worry about Joey Savage he'll be taken care of soon enough"
"I'm sure he will be but I need the soon to be REALLY soon Sonny. Like today soon would be good"
"I'm not going to discuss how or when he will be taken care of but I give you my word you will not marry Joey Savage"
"Okay, good." Carly sighs out heavily before looking towards Jason Morgan who was standing still not saying a word "I guess you can take me back to The Horizon now since I got what I wanted"
"No!" Sonny calls out
"No?!" Carly questions back as she turns her gaze back onto him
"You'll be staying here in one of the guest rooms until the Savage situation is handled" Sonny simply explains
"I don't think so"
"I don't recall asking you for your input. You're staying now if you'll excuse us I have to talk business with Jason. My guard Gary will be happy to show you the guestrooms in the house that you can choose to sleep in during your stay here"
"I can't stay here!"
"Sure you can." Sonny grins at her which causes her to shoot him a dirty look
"Savage will notice I'm missing and he will take it out on my father"
"I give you my word your father will be fine"
"Savage has a bad temper"
"I know his reputation" Sonny remarks
"Then you know that the second he suspects I went to his enemy he'll kill him!"
"Your father will be fine"
"I'm leaving!" Carly states stubbornly
"You can try but I should warn you that there are guards everywhere who I warned not to let you leave the property before you got here unless I stated otherwise to them"
"You can't do this! This is kidnapping!"
"Kidnapping?" Sonny laughs out "You came here on your own free will"
"And now I want to leave"
"You will once Savage is taken care of"
"Why can't I leave? It's not like I'm going to rat you out and tell him where you're hiding and even if I wanted to Jason blindfolded me so I couldn't tell him or anyone where you were if I wanted to"
"It's for your own protection and mine. If you were willing to risk your life to save mine last night there is no telling what stupid stunt you may try to pull. I need to make sure you're out of the way when things go down"
"So you're saying saving your life was stupid?!" Carly questions back
"YES! If one of Savage's men had seen you he would have killed your father and then showed you his dead body before killing you! So saving me was stupid and reckless and I don't trust people who are reckless and stupid nor do I trust liars"
"I'm NOT stupid!"
"I'm sure you're a smart lady but your actions last night were stupid and my decision is final!"
"UHHHHHHHHHHHHH I should have left your sorry ass to drawn and let the sharks eat you up for a late night snack" Carly yells out as Jason looks back and forth between them since she couldn't believe the nerve he had to just order her to stay in his home against her will then call her names!
"If you did you would have to marry Savage since I wouldn't be alive to get rid of the bastard for you" Sonny points out
"UHHHHHHHHH!" Carly yells out in frustration
"Now go follow my guard Gary and he will show you around the place"
"I'm NOT leaving this room until you tell Jason to drive me back to The Horizon" Carly states stubbornly
"Fine Jason and I will take our business in my room" Sonny replies back
As Jason and Sonny walk past her towards the hallway Carly tries to stop them but
is stopped by Gary who blocks her way. Yelling over Gary's shoulder Carly states "THIS ISNT OVER SONNY! DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME! YOU DIDN'T WIN! I WILL BE GOING HOME TODAY! UHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
