Vanessa's only request to sign the divorce documents was for Manuel to rent her an apartment. He eventually did that but she left without signing the divorce papers. When he saw the blank signature in the documents, he realized that he had been tricked. However, Marina asked him not to worry since she had already left.For a moment, Manuel felt remorseful about his actions. He was sure that he didn't recall who Vanessa was. Why did he now regret everything he's done?After leaving Marina in his bedroom, he went to his study with Adrian."Where is Vanessa now?" He asked Adrian."Mrs Howells…." Adrian said slowly and stopped to correct himself. "Vanessa has settled in the apartment you rented for her" he revealed.Manuel didn't even know the place, but it wasn't a hard thing for him to find out. According to Vanessa, she didn't want him to know the address of the place he was going to rent a home for her.He just sent her the money to rent it. Even though Manuel wanted to obey her requ
Vanessa has spent up to two weeks in the apartment, she was beginning to get used to everything. With Cia who'd come to visit her sometimes and Allen, she didn't have to worry about anything.Sometimes, she gets reminded of her situation and misses Manuel. But Vanessa didn't think of it much, she would eventually get used to it in time.It was a cold evening, she had just finished warming a hot pot of soup she had prepared earlier that day. The more she got into her pregnancy, the more Vanessa's tastes in food changed.Now, she loves eating soup and drinking tea more than ever. The morning sickness was killing her. She could barely hang on sometimes when it started.Vanessa finished drinking the last spoon of soup and she went to the kitchen to do the dishes. As she washed the plates, she looked at her tiny baby bump. It wasn't that visible, one would barely know that she was pregnant.Vanessa has the feeling of a mother inside her again. She remembered when the doctor told her that s
Vanessa was inside her apartment, she had just finished to conclude her plans for her business. She finally decided to start a flower business.The area she lived in was damp and not even a single flower grew there. She learned how to grow flowers from her grandmother so she was hoping to invest in that, it would also serve as a memory for her grandmother.As Vanessa stood up to keep the jotter, she heard a brief knock on the door. She hesitated for a while before she went to open it. She wasn't expecting anyone.Doctor Allen already told her that he wasn't coming that night so she wondered if it was Cia. Cia always informs her before she comes, and it was a Wednesday, she was always busy on Wednesdays.Vanessa decided to stop speculating and just open the door to find out who it was. She placed her hand on the knob and turned it open.Surprisingly, it was the person that she least expected to see in her apartment. The devil incarnate herself, Marina Brown.Vanessa was so angry, and f
Inside the car as Manuel drove Vanessa to the hospital, he couldn't help but panic when he saw her bleeding from underneath her thighs. It made him dear that Vanessa might lose the baby, which was probably his.He felt so much pain in his heart to see her suffer.Why did he forget about this woman? How important was she to him when they were together? Several questions popped into Manuel's head.They soon arrived at the hospital and Manuel instantly ordered for a stretcher to be brought to place Vanessa on.She was immediately taken into the hospital and a ward was assigned to her.Manuel waited outside, he didn't want to be there, he wanted to go inside with them. He was angry and nervous at the same time. Manuel rubbed his temples, the doctor wasn't there yet.He turned to one of the nurses who was about to go inside. "Where the hell is the doctor?" He asked the fragile looking nurse, she was so scared of the tone he used in talking to her."Uhmm.. Mr, please calm down. The doctor
Doctor Allen fed Vanessa her meal, she needed to eat before her next medication and also to keep her baby healthy.He still couldn't understand why Vanessa never spoke about Manuel exiting the hospital. Maybe she was slowly getting over him. Allen was happy, At least he got a chance now. Vanessa coughed lightly after eating a spoonful of the meal, Allen gave her water to drink. "Sorry" he apologized to her. "it isn't your fault, Allen" Allen noticed how Vanessa's mood was, he thought of what to say to cheer her up."At least the baby is fine. Can you tell me what happened? Who attacked you?" Allen asked Vanessa.He knew clearly that she didn't plan on answering his questions. Vanessa remained silent, she just took the spoon again and wanted to eat. Her cut on her hand hurt and she couldn't eat properly.Allen collected the spoon and resumed feeding her. Vanessa was filled but she didn't want to stop eating, it'll only make her think about Manuel again or Allen's questions.Vanessa s
After she went inside with doctor Allen, Manuel returned to his car, filled with anger and frustration, he wanted to tear Vanessa apart.He wanted to make her pay for putting him in such a situation. He almost thought that they were going to have a child together. He was angry, instead of being excited and continued with the divorce.Manuel couldn't understand his feelings, why did it hurt him this much? She cheated on him and carried another man's child. He was so enraged as he finally drove off, leaving the apartment complex area.Vanessa watched him throughout until he left. Ever since she got inside, she had been standing near the window— watching Manuel display his anger inside his car. After everything, he left.She was relieved, Vanessa went to sit on the couch where doctor Allen sat on. He waited for her before he opened the package containing instant noodles and prepared it for her to eat. Vanessa didn't say a word as she picked it up and ate it, she was so famished, anythin
Vanessa didn't care if it was her last money, she boarded a taxi straight to Manuel's villa to see him.She was going to demand an explanation from him. If he admitted to doing it, then she would never forgive him for it.When she arrived, Vanessa wasn't restricted by the security and they let her into the mansion. She was still the mistress of the house and Manuel hadn't ordered them not to let her in.Upon reaching the living room, Vanessa noticed Marina coming downstairs. She didn't even care and she proceeded to climb the staircase. Marina was shocked to see that Vanessa survived her attack.She made sure to cut her wrist so she would bleed to death. How did she survive it? Her face turned crimson with fury, she tried to stop Vanessa from going to meet Manuel.Marina blocked her path and Vanessa pushed her off."You are not welcomed here!" Marina said to her, she tried to push Vanessa. Vanessa was alert so she moved and Marina ended up injuring herself. Hitting her waist hard on t
Vanessa spent so many hours locked up in the room, she tried to fit her hand through the cuffs so she could escape, it wasn't that easy. She hurt her wrist in the act. Vanessa could hear her phone ring for the past one hour. She knew that it could only be doctor Allen who called.The bag was inside the wardrobe, Manuel kept it there. She wasn't able to get to it. Vanessa was frustrated and angry at herself. She shouldn't have come here in the first place.She should've just reported Manuel's murder to the police. Her efforts to get her hand through the cuffs were futile. After an extra thirty minutes, a maid walked in with her meal. "I'm in interested. Take the food away!" She yelled at the maiden.The young maid who looked grumpy didn't respond but only smirked at Vanessa. "You'll have to eat it anyway" the maid declared and attacked Vanessa. Seeing how the maiden reacted, Vanessa could tell that Marina was behind it. Manuel could never be this heartless even though he'd done evil
