Passion’s Strange Magic, Chapter 1.1, We’ve Only Just Begun

  If I thought life would calm down after finishing my season on Soulmates, I was sadly mistaken. Laban and I were buffeted in a whirlwind of busyness. We wanted to get married right away, and when Laban’s Mom, Contessa, and my besties, Lenora and Christie, found out, we were engulfed in wedding plans. We […]

Ileah’s Bachelorette Challenge, Part 10: Finale

I was feeling a bit melancholy after sending Eli away. Although it hurt to send the others home, Eli was the one that hurt the most. I sneaked away to have a cry and was relieved that nobody came wanting my attention for a while. Sure, this was a competition, but people’s real feelings were […]

Ileah’s Bachelorette Challenge, Part 9: True Confession

  It shouldn’t have come as any surprise that Laban was there to greet me in the morning when I awoke and came down. It was fast becoming a routine for us, a routine I found I rather enjoyed. I guess I was feeling a little homesick and missing my bestie, and Laban lent me […]

Ileah’s Bachelorette Challenge, Part 8, Flirt, Men, Flirt!

  It was another predawn morning for me, and Laban was waiting for me when I came down. It was so peaceful with the sound of the surf off in the distance and the birds beginning to chirp. Laban’s warm smile made the early morning that much more pleasurable.   We talked mainly about flowers, […]

Ileah’s Bachelorette Challenge, Part 7: Festival Fun

It didn’t take long for my boys to start pouring out of the woodwork once Eric left. I was feeling pretty low after that, for this one was the first one that hurt my heart. I could tell they wanted to cheer me up, and they pulled out all the stops. Soon, I was laughing […]

Ileah’s Bachelorette Challenge, Part 6: Making Some Sense Out of the Chaos

The next day proved to be quite interesting. I awoke earlier than usual, unable to go back to sleep, so I prepared myself for the onslaught of attention I’m always getting since this crazy experience began. As much as I’d have loved to catch a few more winks, the alternative was much more entertaining. Laban […]

ileah’s Bachelorette Challenge, Part 5: Beach Bums

After the elimination was over, I stepped outside to just think and get my bearings. I should have known the quiet of the night wouldn’t be quiet for very long. Just as I was about to head inside, Ben and Declan came out to find me. Declan and I started talking about everything from gemstones […]

Ileah’s Bachelorette Challenge, Part 4: Everywhere I Look, Shirtless Men!

  The next couple of days were to be pretty low key. Jen told me to just keep myself available for the guys when they wanted to talk or whatever. It would be anther double elimination, so I just wanted to take some time to get to know the guys a little more before I […]

Ileah’s Bachelorette Challenge, Part 3: Group Outings

The next morning when I got up, Jared and Declan were right there to greet me. Declan jumped right in flirting with me, which I enjoyed. Jared joined in, and I felt a little like a yoyo being bounced around between the two of them. I’d never had so many guys clambering for my attention […]

Ileah’s Bachelorette Challenge, Part 2: Here Come the Boys

  The next day, I got up feeling very excited but a little nervous. The boys would start arriving this morning. A lot can be gleaned from a bio, but there’s nothing like meeting the real person. They arrived in pairs, and the first two were Eli and Eric.   Eli described himself as a […]
