I couldn’t believe that my dad could have such a big secret and he has managed to keep it for sixteen years.Annabella, she’s my sister. But why? Why did he cheat on mom? He couldn’t even respect the dead and change from his ways but he gave her full access to his life, damn!“Isabelle, what’s wrong?” Alessandro demanded, immediately I entered inside the house. I feel on him, crying profusely and he patted my head, muttering soothing words.“Dad... Dad.. he has an affair with Ann, Annabella and Andrew are my siblings” I replied and he looked at me with shock.“What! That’s absurd..”“They’ve been having the affair before mom died and they haven’t stopped even up till now” I wailed and he held my head, leading me to the room.“It’s all going to be okay dear.. calm down” Alessandro patted, giving her tissues and I collected them, blowing my nose.“Mom, is this right? After all what had happened, dad had decided to cheat on you”“My grandmother never wanted my mom to marry him, they all
“Mom.. how.. how is it possible that Isabelle is my stepsister?” Annabella inquired tearfully and Ann hugged her, patting her head.“I’m sorry dear, I did it so you could have a good life..”“You slept with a married man to give us a better life? We weren’t even v that time so how were you giving us a better life?” Annabella demanded angrily.“I was lonely, all my past boyfriends ditched me for silly reasons then I attended an event, I saw Roberto drunk. Damn he’s my friend’s husband but I wanted to have a one night stand with him, he was too sexy to resist, things led to one another and we ended up together, we didn’t stop our affair and I told him I was pregnant.. he told me to get rid of you guys but I couldn’t, I saw it as my chance to get authority.. I’m sorry” Ann replied, lacking remorse and Annabella stared at her, disgusted.“You’re a disgrace to womanhood, how could you sleep with your friend’s husband? Don’t you have human feelings at all? Just because you want power you di
“Who’s calling?” Alessandro inquired, kissing her neck.“Probably my dad, he’s been calling since and I don’t wanna talk to him..”“You should check it might be someone else, like your other suitors..” He teased and she checked her phone and was amazed to see several missed calls from Lettice.“Damn! I totally forget about the movie premiere... I have to go shopping and also go to the spa, I’ll call Lettice to know the date..” She noted and called Lettice.“Thank Goodness it’s tomorrow, we have lots of work to do...” She breathed, going through her phone and Alessandro rolled his eyes.“I.. I can’t go with you to the spa, I’ve got lots of work to do and my boss is on my neck..” He trailed, trying to run off and she held his trouser.“No.. you’re going nowhere... we’re going shopping together and you’ll help me choose my dress” She vowed and he pouted, giving her puppy eyes.“Do you want your husband to get sacked? If I get sacked... how would I be able to provide for you and our kids?
Alessandro drove to the house, chitchatting with Isabelle about the premiere, he noticed the road was blocked and stopped.He got out of the car, wanting to what was wrong when a gun touched his head, he froze immediately, raising his hands up.Isabelle shrieked as she was roughly dragged out of the car, another man pushing them towards a car.She screamed fearfully, kicking and fighting as a man used a handkerchief to cover her nose, he was sedated too.He opened his heavy eyelids, staring at the ceiling and trying to make out where he was, he groaned when he was fully aware of where they were.He tried to seat up and noticed his hands and legs were bonded, he wriggled up, looked around and found Isabelle sprawled at one side, unconscious.“Hey.. Isabelle!” He whispered loudly, trying to wobble towards her.She rose gently, feeling dizzy as the room spinner, she focused her gaze on Alessandro, squinting her eyes.“Where are we?” She demanded, fear written all over her face as she gla
It had been 1 week already, Isabelle and Alessandro had been in coma since, Brianna made it her job to check up on them everyday.She walked inside with Thomas who was talking to the doctor. She sighed sadly, touching Isabelle’s hand.“I wish you would wake up soon, I miss the radiant smile on your face..” She mumbled, kneeling close to Isabelle.“I want them to be off record, make sure no maid comes inside this room and the nurses who visit should never disclose who they are to anyone” Thomas instructed and the doctor nodded before leaving.“Why didn’t you inform the president? Why are you telling the doctor to keep their case off record, I’m sure the president must be worried and trying his best to find her..” Brianna voiced.“Now is a very crucial time, news has leaked to the public that Isabelle and Alessandro are missing, everyone is trying to find both her father and his rivals are trying to find her, I’m still trying to figure out why they were floating” He replied.“The media
Darrell entered inside, instinctively glancing around, his gaze softened when he saw Alessandro.“You’re alive man!” He yelled, going to hug Alessandro who grinned.“It’s nice to see you again” Alessandro replied.“Where the hell have you been? What happened to you? I have your phones, been trying to track you for a long time” Darrell disclosed, bringing out their phones and Isabelle beamed.“Wow, thank you so much” She replied ecstatically, collecting the phone.“You the best man, thanks a lot” Alessandro replied.“So.... why are you here and what are you gonna do about the news circulating, some rumors says you’re dead, some said you’ve been hiding, so many stories you wouldn’t wanna hear” Darrell disclosed and they sighed.“When we were coming back from the movie premiere, we were kidnapped, we escaped through an old friend. They chased us and having no other place, we jumped into a valley. We were floating when they rescued us” Alessandro summarized.“Do you have any clue of what
“You’re such a fool! How could you let her escape for the second time?” Mario thundered.“I’m sorry sir, before we could get inside the hospital they had left..” Liam apologized and Mario slapped his cheek.“I’m not paying to do so you can fail, I want Isabelle in my custody this week! Why is Ann still alive?” Mario demanded hotly.“Sir, tracking her has been very hard and she stays with the president. It’s hard to abduct her..”“What about those two kids and their father?” Mario demanded, thinking deeply.“The man is nowhere to be found but I have a gun that those kids are staying with her, she has been extra careful lately, I’m afraid she might be planning something huge..”“Shut the hell up! What do you mean by something huge? I want you to find out what that plan is and also destroy the plan” Mario instructed and Liam nodded, bowing his head.“What about Alessandro? Do you have a clue about his family?” “They disappeared yesterday, I’ve been trying to track his sister but she’s i
“Do you know her location?” Ann demanded and Elena shook her head.“I can see you’ve been lazy and haven’t been doing anything lately..”“You know I’ve been busy with blogs, trying to spread different news about Isabelle... I’m already planning on hinting about her affair with Alessandro” Elena replied and Ann raised her head, confused.“Her guard? I thought she hated him” Ann replied.“She once did but now she’s having an affair with him and anywhere you find her, that’s where you’ll find him” Elena replied triumphantly and Ann nodded slowly.“So right under our nose all these while, this has been going on.”“Yes, a lot has been going on, we had a rift because of him... her relationship with Aurora is on a rocky point and there’s only one person I know who might be closer to her but she’s worthless and a commoner so I don’t have much expectations” Elena replied.“What exactly do you want from me for all your job?” Ann demanded.“I wan be the new Isabelle” Elena dropped.“What do you
