Vanessa noticed the looks on his face but she didn't care. She tried to get up from the bed. "Release my grandmother from your custody and grant me a divorce. I want out!" She demanded.Manuel was still trying to digest the slap which she had just given to him, he didn't expect to deal with another issue as she mentioned the word ‘Divorce’ to him.Manuel watched Vanessa leave the bed, she might've forgotten about the broke bowl pieces on the floor but he didn't. He then tried stopping her but Vanessa was obstinate and she had a piece of glass prick into her leg. Vanessa stood stagnant, trying to hold back the pain. She didn't show her pain, but Manuel understood exactly what had happened.Angrily, he stood and pulled her back. Vanessa tried to fight him but he succeeded in getting her back on the bed. They struggled and he was on top of her on the bed. Vanessa was so furious."Manuel, why don't you let me go?" She asked him.Manuel didn't respond yet, he just stared at her beautiful
When Vanessa woke up in the morning, it was a very bright day. She stood up and when she wanted to walk, she looked down carefully Incase of the glass pieces. She soon realized that it had been swept off and the room was cleaned.Realizing that she must've slept for so long, Vanessa went ahead to find her mobile phone. As she got it, she saw the time. It was almost ten a.m. She slept for so many hours.Vanessa took her phone and left the room to hers. When she got there, she went to the bathroom to get refreshed and change her clothes.Vanessa was inside the bathroom and under the shower, allowing it to dominate all parts of her body. As she closed her eyes, a flashy image of Manuel kissing her under the shower last night appeared in her memory.Vanessa didn't realize when she began to touch herself.

Manuel's bedroom was the first room at the beginning of the hallway in the mansion and as soon as they reached there, he went inside with Vanessa and pushed her on the bed."So, you were saying?" He asked, his looks grew colder as he glared at her. Vanessa was so uncomfortable, she didn't know what he was planning but she could tell that it was no good."You know Vanessa, you deserve to be punished by me for your actions yesterday. And restricting you from visiting your grandmother isn't an option for me. I should make you go through the same pains you made me experience yesterday when you slapped me" Manuel narrated.Vanessa was stunned by his sudden change in appearance, she had never seen him look at her this way. His once soft looks turned cold. She moved backwards, and he followed her.Manuel knelt on the bed and moved towards her slowly, until he finally got to her.

For the next three days, Vanessa has been under the daily routine of waking up, eating, sleeping and using her medicines. Sometimes, she gets to go through massage therapy for her waist. She was slowly recovering but the presence of Manuel made her feel sick to her stomach. Vanessa wished to recover quickly so that she could be away from him. It was afternoon and Manuel walked inside the room with her lunch. When she saw him enter, her heart began to beat fast in her chest, Vanessas' rage grew suddenly as she saw him. "Why don't you just leave me alone, Manuel?" She forced herself to ask him.Manuel didn't answer, he only took his seat near her and wanted to feed her the meal."Here, eat" he urged her but Vanessa refused the meal and pushed it off her face. Manuel was holding the bowl lightly so it fell from his hands to the floor, the bowl shattered and his hand scalded from being burnt by the hot soup.Manuel remained reserved but it didn't classify the amount of anger he was fee

Now, she was more determined to make it at the top using her own means.She was seated at her normal spot, a corner in the rehearsal room, reading her script carefully. Vanessa picked up the coffee she had beside her and she took a sip. As Vanessa flipped the page of her script, her eyes caught a glimpse of a line she was supposed to speak. The activity that followed was a kiss scene.She is going to kiss another man. Vanessa had never acted in such scenes before. The last time she was made to act one, it didn't end well for her.

When Vanessa reached the studio room, she realized that it was almost time for her to rehearse her role. The original scene was to be filmed in the next few days.

When the scene commenced, The male lead said out his words. Vanessa was supposed to cut him short and kiss him. He was done with his line and it was time for Vanessa to act, however, she hesitated.

She viewed the customized designs which were made to impress. She needed no one to tell her that it was Manuel who was inside the car. Adrian came out and opened the door for her to get inside the car. "Mrs Howells" he paid his respects to her as he led her in. Vanessa was frustrated but she eventually went in. As soon as she sat on the backseat, Manuel, who was also sitting there, reached his
