Roberto was shocked and couldn't understand what was wrong with both father and son. A doctor rushed inside and with the help of guards, they were both conveyed to the car. The doctor came out after some minutes, shaking his head, he informed Roberto that they had consumed a hard drug which was affecting them at that time and would wear off after a few hours. Roberto was furious, he knew Mario didn't take drugs and his mind drifted to Isabelle. He stared at her angrily and she glared at him. "Do you know anything about this?" He questioned and she shook her head, a smile curved on her lips. "You kept me locked in the house since, how would I give them drugs?" She retorted and Roberto left, ordering Alessandro to bring Isabelle back home. Isabelle didn't utter a word as she was led to the car and Alessandro wondered what was going on in her mind. "I can't thank you enough, you e helped me so much. Thank you" Isabelle broke out, hugging Alessandro immediately they entered the car.
“Take me home now!” Isabelle thundered and Alessandro entered the car without uttering a word.“Would you like to tell me about it?” He inquired when the journey started, she kept silent for some minutes and decided it wouldn’t hurt to talk to someone.“I’m just tired of everything and everyone. They all think being the president’s daughter is a blessing and I got the role because of my father, that's true but they think I can’t be good at anything. Why? For Pete sake, I'm human too and I get hurt by some words” She whimpered, wiping her eyes and Alessandro’s gaze softened.“They think that way because that’s what you’re making them think. Prove to them that you can be the best by acting your roles perfectly, ignore their remarks and minimize your complaints”“Don't give in to their taunts, if they say anything to you, ignore them. You don't need them. I’ve never for once thought you wouldn’t be good at acting, you just have to prove it, wipe those tears and cheer up, we’re going to th
“Get the funds ready, we’re taking the jet. We would export them to Canada then the guys would take them to the bank” Roberto said to Mario who nodded. “Is it when we get back that we would discuss the wedding?” Mario requested. “Wedding? What the fuck went wrong that night? You ruined it, got the news talking and now you’re talking about the wedding. Do you know the miles I had gone just to clear your name?” Roberto flared and Mario inhaled. “I’m sorry, we were tricked into taking drugs. We tried to find out who did it but there was no clue. We didn’t know how it happened but it’ll never repeat itself” Mario pleaded and Roberto nodded, his phone beeped and he checked the notification. “Let’s go” He instructed and they both left the office, they entered the limousine that awaited their arrival and drove to the airport. “Why isn’t Ann here? Is she waiting at the airport already?”“She quit, had a fight with Isabelle over the scandal. She’ll come around later” Roberto shrugged and M
"What's wrong Lilian?" Lettice questioned, Lilian had barged inside her office where she and Isabelle were discussing. "You bitch! I'll get back at you for all these. You wanna play dirty? Then get ready to roll in the mud" Lilian threatened and strutted out, leaving Isabelle shocked. "What is wrong with her?" "You shouldn't bother yourself with that, what's important is that you got another role while she got the second female lead, that's why she's pissed off" Lettice informed and Isabelle laughed. "She's in for a big show, I'll show her what it means to mess with Isabelle, so where are we heading today?" Isabelle asked, looking forward to acting. "We would head out soon but the company has a few rules for you. Isabelle, I know you aren't used to things like this and all but you need to lay low, wear costumes that you're given, avoid fighting with anyone, especially seniors, and come early”“The board members have placed you on probation and any mistake would cost you your caree
“Have I ever told you that you’re the prettiest lady I’ve seen?” Liam confessed and Isabelle smiled. “Shit!” Liam cursed as the car stopped, he tried to ignite the car and he cursed even more when he failed. “What’s wrong?” Nothing much, must be the engine acting up, I just got this car serviced for hell's sake” He muttered as he got out angrily. He opened the bonnet, touching some parts. Isabelle came to stand beside him, she didn’t like the lonely part they were in. “I could give my driver a call and tell him to come get us, this place seems dangerous” She suggested and Liam nodded, typing furiously on his phone. A black van appeared from a corner and Isabelle went to stand beside the road, waving at the car to stop. The car stopped in front of her and two masked guys came out immediately, she was about to step back when a guy was pointed at her face and her eyes widened with horror. “Please don’t kill me, please” She whimpered, falling to her knees. “Shut the hell up and ge
“What are we gonna do?” Isabelle whispered, fear written all over her face. “Shh, they’ll leave soon. I’ve called for backup” “It’s getting dark already, this place isn’t safe, there might be snakes or wild animals here” She pointed out. “I’ll give you a few minutes to come out or else it’ll get real bloody” Beau shouted and Isabelle gasped, hurriedly, Alessandro drew her to himself, using his hand to cover her mouth. “You have five seconds!” Beau shouted and Alessandro typed on his phone, his hands shaky and limp.He was filled with fear and anxiety, Isabelle was trembling in his arms and sniffing softly.“Fire!” Beau instructed and the men began to fire in different directions, moving their hands from side to side. “Ahh” Alessandro whispered with gritted teeth and Isabelle glanced at him sharply, questions in her eyes. She covered her mouth with panic when he turned his leg and she saw blood oozing out. “You’re injured what are we gonna do?” She whispered, crying already and h
The ceremony began and throughout, Alessandro couldn’t take his eyes off Isabelle who was rocking an off shoulder short gown. She looked ravishing, the gown clung to her curves, her cleavage visible as her radiant smile filled the air.She caught him staring at her and smiled with a wink. He frowned when Andrea made his way towards Isabelle. “You look amazing” He complimented and she smiled harshly. “You don’t look that bad yourself, oh excuse me. I need to have a conversation with Elena” She muttered and left. Andrea caught sight of a blonde lady, she wore a scarf and used sunglasses to cover her face. “Shit!” He cursed and went after the lady, he dragged her to the restroom, ignoring her protests and the looks he got from people. “Let go of me!” Selena screamed and he forced her inside the restroom and locked the door. “What are you doing here? Why aren’t you home?” He demanded angrily. “A great man is being honored today and I want my baby to know him. I was just about to g
“Wouldn’t you visit your kids today? They miss you so much and are even eager to meet Isabelle” Ann disclosed with a frown and Roberto cupped her cheek.“The primary election is in a few days, let’s lay low for now. I promise to spend a week with them when this is over” He swore and Ann sighed.“Can you change your vice, I have a bad feeling about Mario, can’t you use someone else or me?”“What bad feeling? Mario has been by my side since forever even when I lost my wife, he was still there for me. I owe him a lot” Roberto defended and Ann shook her head.“Don’t get too carried away, some people are green snakes under green grasses” She warned and Roberto nodded.“Sir, Ann just warned the president about you” Lisa, Mario’s secretary disclosed and Mario frowned.“I want the full details, call Liam and tell him to eliminate her today, I don’t want any mistakes, he should shoot her immediately he gets the opportunity” Mario ordered and Lisa made the call.“She didn’t disclose anything, on
