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. As soon as she did, she instantly stopped and moved out of the bathroom. Why couldn't she get the thoughts of Manuel off her mind all of a sudden? She should hate him for what he's done t
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. As he leaned on her, Vanessa closed her eyes tightly. "Please don't!" She begged him. Vanessa trembled as she plea
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
The following week, Vanessa was busy trying to catch up with her already ongoing movie where she acted as the second lead role. She acted as a most hated character, which made the fans turn against her.Vanessa didn't care, she decided to just stick with whatever script her manager gave to her. 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. Ever since then, she always rejected kiss scenes.However, at this point, she wanted to act the scene in order to make Manuel jealous. If possible, he might also divor
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. She couldn't bear to miss the rehearsal.She tried to look composed as she went inside to meet her colleagues preparing for the scene. When Vanessa picked her script, she immediately went through it before taking her place on set.She made sure to confirm that she was being videoed by her colleagues; she still didn't forget her plans of keeping a copy of the video for herself. 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. "Cut!" The acting director said. "Miss Sanchez, are you okay?" He asked her calmly. She looked distracted so he was worried. "I'm fine. Sorry I hesitated. I'll just take the scene all over again" Vanessa begged. Even though it was just a rehearsal, getting
Vanessa watched the video for the umpteenth time, it looked so real and better than the original. She was excited. She couldn't wait to see the looks on Manuel's face when he watched it.Vanessa escorted Cia out of the coffee shop and watched her board a taxi. "Bye bye" she waved to her friend as the taxi drove off. Vanessa now headed towards the villa, jogging slowly.She checked the time on her watch and it was just 6: 30 p.m. She still had enough time to reach the villa before Manuel returned.As she continued her movements on the sidewalks, Vanessa noticed a car pull over and blocked her. 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
Vanessa controlled herself upon hearing those words. She didn't dare disagree."Oh, really? Then it's fine if I have her right? I mean, she's beautiful and looks reserved" Mr Reed complimented.He tried to touch her, Manuel instantly rebuked his fingers from touching Vanessa's skin. "You do not have to bother yourself about your little slut, I'm not snatching her forever, I only want her for a short while Mr Howells" The man said, standing up and moving towards Vanessa. This time, he just grabbed and pulled her closer to himself. Vanessa gasped out in fear, his actions were unexpected. He forced Vanessa to sit on his legs but she struggled and pushed him and she returned to Manuel."Why you little" Mr Reed cursed! He wanted to grab her but Manuel stopped him from doing so.The bodyguards instantly turned their guns at him, They surrounded Manuel, Incase he posed a threat to their boss."It's fine.

Adrian drove slowly on the road as he followed Vanessa. They've been following her for a while and all she did was walk continuously.Adrian asked Manuel if he should go and approach her but he wouldn't let him. "No, let's keep following her," Manuel said. He didn't trust her, he was sure that she was heading elsewhere because the route she took didn't lead to his Villa.After a few more minutes, they arrived in front of a huge pharmacy where Vanessa went into.Vanessa reached the counter, seeing that it was a male attendant, she wanted to leave and check another pharmacy. She wasn't ashamed of the kind of medication she wanted to patronize, all she wanted was someone who was more experienced.The attendant looked young, probably in his early twenties and she feared that he might not give her the right drugs."Excuse me ma'am, what do you want?" He asked her, waiting attentively for her request. Vanessa's thoughts were cut short as she heard his voice speak. Her eyes scanned through
