Luna went and spoke to the media team and told them to persuade Cole for an interview. To which they obliged, who wouldn’t want to interview Cole after the scandal that happened? They wanted him to make a statement but he had remained silent as the time for break approached, they were all eager for Cole to say something. He was dining with Sean and Naya when the media ambushed him. “Mr. Williams, as filming for the first month is gradually getting to an end what do you have to say to your fans out there?” One reporter asked with the camera in Cole’s face. Though Cole was upset he had to fake a smile. “I’d tell my fans to keep watching and keep supporting… no action goes unappreciated,” he said and wiped the corner of his lips with a napkin. “Mr. Williams the break is next week and during that time do you intend to patch things up with your wife?” Another reporter asked. Cole was trying hard not to lash out at the reporters “Whatever we plan to do next, I believe is our business
Brittany handed her CV to a middle-aged man in his office and sat in the armchair facing the man. It was a bookstore and when she stopped in to look for a job she was directed to the owner’s office. “You dropped out of university in the first year, any reasons why?” He asked. “Debts, I couldn’t pay tuition and accommodation too so after the first year I decided to drop out” she replied. “I guess that’s why you went digging gold,” he said with a sarcastic smirk on his face. Brittany was annoyed but kept her composure, the previous places she had searched treated her worse than this. Some said they were not hiring gold diggers some said her only specialty was home wrecking and didn’t need her services and some just made fun of her. “Sir, do you have a daughter?” She asked calmly. “Yes, the same age as you, 21” “Great! I believe you always tell her not to bring a poor man home, I’m sure when you say your prayers you pray that she’ll not fall in love with a poor man” “What are you
A little after midnight Lora closed the bar and got in a taxi headed for Brittany’s residence. She took a spare key so she doesn’t wake her friend up. She opened the door and stepped in looking around, Brittany wasn’t in the living room sleeping on the couch like she had done for the past three weeks. She tiptoed to the bedroom to find it empty too, she checked the washroom, then the kitchen and then the storeroom, then finally the balcony. She walked back to the bedroom and noticed the sticky note on the dressing mirror. She tried calling her friend but the number was off. “Bre!” She screamed and then stopped it was still dawn she couldn’t wake her neighbors up. She took a look at the note which read [please get me a tenant who is willing to stay for two months and let them send the money to my bank account… love Bre] She had written her account details at the end of her note. Lora sighed and stretched out on the bed. She fell asleep before her head touched the pillow because
Boris walked dejectedly to Cole’s living room his heart pounding with every step he took. Cole was seated in his armchair looking gloomy. There was a half-empty glass of wine on the coffee table in front of him. He had arrived from the break just about 15 minutes ago and hadn’t even gone to his room yet. He was anxious to see Brittany and when Boris told him he was on his way he sat in the chair waiting. He thought Brittany had agreed to come with him. He thought of what he’d say to her, he didn’t want to apologize his ego was still too big for that but he wanted to make it up to her somehow. Maybe take her shopping to replace the things he sold, he was still thinking it through when Boris stepped in and walked slowly towards him his face on the ground. Cole looked around thinking Brittany would follow but there was no sign of her. His heart sunk even further. “Where is she?” He said and looked at him “have a seat” “I went to see her friend last week… she gave me a sheet of paper t
Boris ran to the car and tapped on the glass, Cole lowered the glass and gave him a stern look. “Sir! I asked her to name her price and she said 4000 bucks… it’s a good deal right?” Boris asked happily. Cole scoffed “So she was that cheap after all? You see I always say that all people are the same, she’s even willing to sell her friend out for 4000 bucks…. Traitors everywhere” “So do we pay her?” Boris asked eagerly. “Go do the transactions with her, take the address and let’s go” Cole instructed. Boris smiled “Yes sir!” He ran back into the bar and made the payments straight into the bank account Lora gave him(which was Brittany’s bank account) “Thanks, Miss Schumer it was great doing business with you” Boris thanked her and left with the address written on a piece of paper. He got into the car and handed the address to the driver, “let’s head here” Cole’s heart started beating unrhythmic as they headed for Brittany’s residence, he started rehearsing again what he was going
Boris called Cole to ask him about the next move but Cole told him to go home. He then turned off his phone and remained seated in front of Brittany’s door, he sat there till he fell asleep. The next time he woke up he was lying on the floor his hand was numb and so were his feet. He slapped it severally and managed to get up. He turned on his phone and checked the time, it was 11 a.m. He gasped and dashed for the elevator when he got downstairs his driver was waiting for him. He paused and frowned then got into the car. “How long have you been here?” He asked trying to hide his embarrassment. He didn’t want anyone to know he had sat there all night, if the driver wasn’t out there he would’ve simply lied and said he was out with Sean. “All night sir” the driver responded Cole nodded. “Let it remain between the two of us” he instructed. “Yes sir!” The driver responded and drove away. Back at Cole’s villa Luna stood at the entrance elegantly dressed but visibly upset. “What do yo
Brittany pulled the blankets over her body as coiled up in her bunk bed. She had applied as a farmhand on a large grape processing farm and shared a cabin with three other girls. Though the girls were friendly towards she still kept to herself because she was afraid they might recognize who she is and bully her like those in the city. She had come to the countryside to work on a farm and also to get far away from the mess. Here the farmers had little time for their phones or to follow celebrity gossip. She was able to move around without a nose mask because no one recognized her or cared anyway. Over here she was Brittany the old Brittany that no one knew and that made her happy. She drifted off to sleep and dreamt about Cole reaching out for her. She turned around and walked away and he started to run after her Brittany ran fast so he wouldn’t catch up but she fell the falling effect woke her up feeling her slumber. She sat up on the bed and panted for breath. “Damn, you Cole!” She
Naya had paid someone to play ‘paparazzi’ for Luna. Since Luna was used to having the media and reporters chase her everywhere she went, she wouldn’t suspect that someone was following her and taking pictures, that way she could spy on the model without her knowledge. She felt whatever was going on was the doing of Luna and wanted to know what the model was trying to achieve. She had a call from the spy and quickly answered it. “Hello miss…. I think there’s something fishy going on” the spy said immediately after Naya answered the call. “What is it?” Naya curiously inquired. “Before Luna went on the date with Mr. Williams he wasn’t allowing her to touch him or even get too close… now they’re coming out of a club and he’s all over her and as we speak they’re en route to her place” the spy informed her. Naya immediately sprung up from her couch and raced to the exit. “Thanks for informing me I’m on my way there, do the best you can to delay them” “Noted” the spy responded and han
