I spent an extra hour with Ciara. I wasn't in any way feeling like going back to the mansion— recalling the fact that it's my wedding night. Soon, Cia returned from the kitchen with the meal she cooked, while I was on my phone. Manuel called me an extra two times but I didn't take the calls. He even sent a text message, asking me to return before it gets dark. The time was only 6 p.m. and the day was still so bright. "Here's yours" Cia said as she dropped the meal on the table. When I sighted the food, I heard my stomach rumble in anticipation. I've just realized that I haven't eaten anything all day, while I was busy trying to fix my life.I instantly took the dish and ate it."It's delicious" I complimented her."I bet you can cook better," Cia said, as a brief smile curved on her lips. We continued to eat until a knock came on the door. For a moment, my blood froze. I turned to Cia and I asked her."Are you expecting anyone?" "Yes, sorry. I ordered some drinks for us" Cia ru
VANESSA "Ahhhh" the man's loud groan sounded, followed by a loud thud which sent him falling to the ground. Instantly, his other companions left me and they attacked Manuel. "Manuel…" I managed to call out his name.Seeing those three men surround and attack him, I did not think that he will be able to defeat them."Go wait for me in the car" Manuel ordered me. As I tried to go there, one of the men rushed and grabbed me.Manuel kicked him hard on his legs. Immediately he let go, I ran quickly towards the car and I got inside. I locked the doors and I watched Manuel fight the hoodlums. Picturing the whole scene, it reminded me of that night when the strange man saved me from getting violated. Manuel's fighting skills were unmatched and so was that mans'. He fought so well that none of those men were able to defeat him. I never thought for once that it was him who saved me that night. To think that the man never introduced himself to me, now I know why he did that.As the fight went
Manuel watched Vanessa leave the room, he didn't like the fact that she acted uncomfortable towards him. However, he knew that she had to get used to it because they are married now. Manuel turned towards the window, it was in the early morning hours. He picked up his mobile phone from the side drawer and he checked for any message notifications. He scrolled the screen of his mobile phone and surfed through the internet briefly.Manuel frowned immediately when he saw an article relating to Vanessa's scandal. He had already asked Adrian to take care of all the news concerning it and to also punish the networks that posted such news about his wife.Manuel instantly dialed Adrian's number and asked him to come to his room for a talk. After that, he stood up and went towards the bathroom. He spent only twenty minutes inside before he came out and when he did, he went to his wardrobe to get dressed in fresh clothes.A knock sounded on the door and Manuel asked the person to come in. As e
When Vanessa reached outside his room she instantly ran towards the other room that was prepared for her.She already made a deal to sleep in separate rooms with him so she had to go to hers immediately after they almost just got intimate.As she entered the room, Vanessa closed the door behind her fast, she leaned on and sat down on the ground slowly.Vanessa placed her right hand on her chest, feeling her heart palpitate fastly in her chest. What's this feeling? Vanessa asked herself rhetorically. How could her heart be beating for Manuel again after all he's done to her in the past? She is supposed to hate and despise him but instantly she allowed him to trick her into getting remarried to him and also made her his again? Vanessa felt used by Manuel.She stayed in that position for a while and when she finally stood up, she heard her mobile phone ring and she went to check who it was. These days, Vanessa was more vigilant with the type of phonecalls she receives. As she took the
Vanessa was busy rehearsing for her new script with some colleagues. Surprisingly when she arrived in the studio earlier, Mr Adams told her that she had a new sponsor and he paid for her to get a lead role in the upcoming movie. Vanessa was excited and she took the offer immediately. Mr Adams also apologized for misunderstanding her and he told her the company had got the articles off the internet.Vanessa was dressed in a beautiful bright yellow gown which matched her whitish skin and outlined her beautiful curves. She sat down at a corner, reading her script and a joyful smirk appeared on her face. For the past few months, she had never been given a lead role to act but only as a double for the rich actresses. Vanessa thought that her acting sucked, she got depressed and hated herself, almost hating her career too.But now, she is given the opportunity to perform a lead role in a soon to be top movie. As she continued, Vanessa suddenly heard someone call out her name and she loo
"Marina, what the hell are you doing?" Vanessa screamed out and rushed towards the insane woman who tore her script into shreds. Fear gripped her when she saw what Marina had done. She quickly pulled her up and she tried to grab the scissors from her. "Let go!" Marina exclaimed, she didn't let Vanessa do that easily, she fought and struggled with her until the scissors cut Vanessa's finger, causing an injury."Ouch!" Vanessa exclaimed and cried out in pain. When Marina noticed that her finger had begun to bleed, she instantly dropped the scissors on the ground and ran off. Vanessa couldn't pursue her because of the excruciating pain she felt and also, she had to check what was remaining of the script.Vanessa leaned down, picking up the pieces of paper and the blue spiral bind pieces. Her eyes turned watery when she picked them, she could barely read a complete sentence from it. Marina had just destroyed her very first lead role script. Vanessa couldn't control the tears in her ey
Manuel rushed towards the scene as he got information from Adrian that Vanessa went to the bar after the studio session. He got to find out what happened from Mr Adams and he immediately went out to find her. When he got to the bar he saw a few traces of Vanessa being here. One of her shoes and the card he had given to her some years back were found at the bar.As he and Adrian came in to search for her, he made sure to have the place surrounded with bodyguards to ensure that nobody went outside the place. When he finally found other traces, they were in the hallway and he heard her screams coming out of the bathroom.Manuel pushed the door open by kicking it hard with his foot and the sight he saw provoked him. A common bar attendant trying to force himself on his woman. He couldn't take it.Manuel went upon the pervert and punched him hard on his face, he hit him so hard that he fell on the floor immediately. Manuel picked him up and punched him harder again. The man couldn't hold
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
