Cia instantly locked the door and returned back inside the bedroom. She met Vanessa coming out of the drawer. Thank goodness they managed to think about putting some clothes on her if not Manuel would've found out about her.Vanessa looked worried, she heard what Manuel said about her grandmother. It wasn't advice but a threat. That he might stop the treatment and she might die.Cia needed an explanation but she didn't want to bother Vanessa who already had a lot of things to worry about."You heard what he said about Nanay, how do you go about it? Will you go and see him?" Cia was curious about her decision."No, I'm not going back there." She declared. "I'm going to the hospital to see grandma." Vanessa walked towards the bed and she grabbed her handbag. Vanessa returned with a card, she managed to secure it from his mansion.It contained the address of the hospital her grandma is in. If only she was allowed to get her grandmother out of there then she would." I think Nanay is in t
Vanessa reached the lobby, she soon noticed that the place was filled with men in black suits. She recognized them anywhere that they were Manuel's bodyguards.Why were they here? She asked herself rhetorically as she continued to walk towards the exit. As Vanessa already reached the door she saw that Manuel entered with Adrian and a few more bodyguards behind him. She immediately hid herself in a corner to avoid him. Manuel and his men matched towards the elevator, they were obviously heading to her mum's room. Vanessa wanted to escape but she noticed that he purposely had the guards surround the place so that she wouldn't escape.She was stuck and nowhere to escape to. Vanessa tried to follow the crowd of people who were heading outside, one of the guards grabbed her arms all of a sudden. Vanessa looked at him, he surveyed her face, she looked familiar."Let go!" Vanessa demanded, pulling her arms from his grip. That action caused her face cap to fall from her head, her long hair i
So many hours had passed and Cia became worried about Vanessa not showing up. She couldn't help but think that Manuel had caught her, Cia tried her number several times but it wasn't connecting.She had no choice but to go to Manuel's villa. Cia did some research and she got his address. She didn't know what else to do, and her instincts told her that Vanessa was in danger, if she wasn't with him.Cia had to struggle for attention before she was allowed inside the deep Manuel. She was made to wait in the living room area until he came out to meet her.As she was waiting, Cia admired the beauty of his mansion. Seeing the size and the luxury, she could tell that he is very wealthy. Cia Wondered why he didn't help Vanessa's career or even sponsor her. She was curious, but she dared not ask why. Even if she questioned Vanessa, she might not even tell her.Soon, she saw Manuel descending the stairs and he came to her. Manuel was busy in his study room when he heard from Adrian that someone
Marina instantly grabbed the gun from Mara and pointed it at Vanessa, she was about to shoot but. "Boom" Vanessa made the noise with her mouth. Trying to mock Vanessa who she noticed was frightened."Surprised to see me?" She asked Vanessa, laughing hysterically at her.Mara took the gun from Marina. "You promised not to come to Mariana. Why are you trying to steal my moment?" Mara asked Marina.The woman only walked to the other end of the room and switched on the lights. She then took a wooden chair and sat down on it. "I couldn't miss the show for anything" She said, folding her arms across her chest.Mara turned her gaze back to Vanessa, she didn't want Marina to interrupt her. "You should've killed her already," Marina suggested to her. "I want to, badly. But I have some questions to ask her" she said.Vanessa understood the situation she was in currently. Mara had been brainwashed by Marina and nothing she would tell the young actress that she would believe.Despite that, Vaness
The ride to her apartment was silent, although Adrian drove fast, he still didn't arrive in time and Cia had fallen asleep. While he sped through the lanes of the highway, Adrian closed the windows so that Cia wouldn't catch a cold from the cold evening breeze. Adrian stopped the car for a while, he pulled over and parked by the roadside.He removed his suit and used it to cover her body, he wondered why women loved wearing sleeveless dresses despite the fact that it had more disadvantages than an advantage. After he made sure that she was comfortable, Adrian continued on the road. After a few minutes, he'd look at her. Adrian noticed her move and the jacket shifted, making her shoulders exposed.He swallowed on his dried throat, Cia had a beautiful body and smooth skin. He almost got distracted, Adrian turned his focus back on the road. Half an hour later, he reached the apartment complex where she lived. When he looked, he noticed that Cia was already awake. She rubbed her eyes s
"How are you feeling now?" Manuel asked Vanessa curiously as they ate breakfast together the next morning. He couldn't stop looking at the bandage on her neck, and it triggered his anger the more he looked at it. He wanted to make Marina pay for it, he swore to give her similar scars once he laid his hands on her.Manuel couldn't imagine how much pain Vanessa must be feeling at the moment.Including her face which had a slight cut on it, he couldn't forgive Marina for it."I feel much better now." Vanessa answered him briefly then she resumed munching on her food. She is still trying to get rid of the thoughts of Mara dying yesterday because of Marina and her.Vanessa felt like she needed to take a break from everything, including acting for a while but she couldn't.It was hard for her to do so.She continued to eat while Manuel excused himself to do something. Soon, Vanessa's mobile phone rang and she picked up the call from her best friend, Cia."Hello Cia" she greeted her.Vane
Cia moved in with Vanessa without any hesitation, while they worked together on a new script that Vanessa had just received from the industry.Even though it wasn't a lead role again, Vanessa was excited that she acquired the role because of her hard work and the movie was bound to be a popular movie series because of its plot.She wished that when it goes viral, she would be recognized through her act in the film, and from them, she might acquire the fame She had always aimed for. While she read and practiced the script for the umpteenth time that day, Cia was already getting bored of it.Vanessa didn't believe that she acted it properly so she kept trying again. As she moved forward, trying to act based on the description of the character she was assigned for, Vanessa missed a foot and she fell on to the floor, she twisted her knee on that act."Nessa!" Cia exclaimed in fear as she rushed towards her friend and tried to help her. Vanessa assured her that she could stand up on her o
The door of his master bedroom was kicked open by Manuel and he took Vanessa straight to his bed and he placed her gently on it.Afterwards, Manuel went to his drawer, pulled out a small first aid kit and came back to attend to her wounds. Vanessa was hesitant to allow him touch her leg but after a few minutes of thoughts, and his persistence, she finally allowed him to touch her.Manuel took her leg out gently, and after opening the balm he applied it slowly on her. He rubbed his hand on it in a circular motion, he didn't want to hurt her with the application.Manuel was soon done, Vanessa wished that he didn't stop. She loved how his hands felt on her skin, it was driving her crazy. She couldn't believe that his small touch on her brought greater effects on her body. She continued to watch him move around the room after he went to put the box back to its place. "You have to rest after this," he suggested. When Vanessa tried to stand up, he insisted that she rested inside his room u
