Chapter 21ISABELLA'S POV All my attention has suddenly been gripped by something else that I almost didn't realize the man had already made the announcement, making everyone go silent in confusion.“Mr Rodrigo, I - we - demand an explanation!” a letter voices out with sweat dripping off his forehead. I was pretty sure it took a bit of courage for him to speak up.Immediately, the man said so, and the others immediately nodded their heads to support the one who had spoken. Even if they couldn't speak they've been helped by the first letter.“Distribute the draft to every one of them,” I heard Rodrigo's voice instruct the man beside him, and the man quickly got up and started distribution just like he was being.I looked closely at what was being distributed and realized it was my draft that had been photocopied and distributed to the shareholders. All of them began scanning through the drafts on their table while I tried studying every attention one after the other. At the same tim
Chapter 22Writer'S POV “Did you call me nut because I used your credit card without telling you?” he asked, laughing hysterically as if he had just heard something funny even though he was the first person to use the word “Nut”.“Why should I take your permission before using it? You're my girlfriend, and we'll be getting married soon!” Lewiston thundered murderously while leaving Helen in total shock.If she had not heard it from his mouth, Helen would still have believed it wasn't her man who used her card at those places he used it. And even though she was being told that it was someone closest to her who knew her PIN who used her card.She never for once thought it was Lewis. Helen was aware of the man's occupation so she thought he wouldn't use her card without her permission.Given his occupation, Helen almost couldn't believe it was done by him. Because, as a lawyer, he used her credit card without her approval. Which means theft and he was supposed to know better than her.“W
Chapter 23Writer'S POV “My sister told me if my drama is unable to become a hit. I'll have to go back to being an irrelevant lead,” Nicollete said with her head on the man's chest. The man was lying on the bed half naked while her head was on him.“What do you plan to do next? After All, she didn't make me the director.” She asked briefly as she raised her head to look at the man before touching him.“I have to still watch her for a while. She seemed normal.” Tyler said briefly. “Did you say anything unusual about her?” He asked just to be sure if he was the only person noticing the slight changes in her recently.“Nothing changed though. She still does the same acting as if she was the best of all. Nothing has changed except the fact that she has learned how to use her words strangely but wisely,” Nicolette said as she remembered her words this morning.“You know what. She's the least of our problems. I'm sure she'll end up making you the director. After all, she has always been so
Chapter 24ISABELLA POVI couldn't go back home, I had to stay with Helen and send a message to Tyler. Besides, I didn't feel like going home anyway.When I noticed Helen was fully asleep, I gently removed her hand which was wrapped around my hands tightly as if I would be running away. When I made sure that little act didn't wake her up, I gently stood up from the king-sized bed, not without picking up my phone from the nearest shelf.By the time I got to the guest room, I felt my palms had become more sweaty despite the air conditioning. Before I left my matrimonial home this morning, I had a camera fixed inside the room, unknowingly to the two people who were connected to my cell phone.Just the thought of checking what the two of them have been up to is taking the hell out of me, and I couldn't help but shiver. Not because I'm scared of them but because what I am going to see is already expected of me.But there's only a ten percent probability that it could be nothing else but ju
CHAPTER ONEISABELLA’s POVPacing to and fro as I held my breath, my hands were shaking nervously and I was almost out of breath. Breathing out again, I looked at Tyler.“I can't believe you would spend that much money without letting me know!” I couldn’t help raising my voice slightly.“I thought it was a necessary expense. Besides, you spend money on things I don't agree with all the time.” He shrugged which got me more angered.This very stupid non challant attitude. I just breath in so as not to ruin everything, “The company has gone down and this is all you have to say? You're unbelievable! Do you realize at all that we are going bankrupt.”I picked up my bag and walked out of the office. I was aware of the fact that his eyes bore into my back, but I didn't care.I’m Isabella Drake, only legitimate daughter of the Drake family, I have a brother, Mason and a step sister, Nicollete.Even though we both regarded ourselves more as a sister than a step sisters. I got married 5years ag
CHAPTER TWOISABELLA’s POVWhat was this place? My hand suddenly passed through the wall, this was something that I only saw in movies and now it was happening to me. I realized I was just a ghost. I was still sitting in the actual position I was when I was shot. My spirit didn't seem willing to leave due to my anger.I gradually lifted myself and stared at my pitiful body on the floor. Shaking my head for having such a cruel fate. I floated with the wind to the rooftop of the car park. With each gust of wind, the sand rustled and quivered, adding a sense of motion and life to the park.I could see Nicollete and Tyler further away from the park, but they were not alone. There was another man there, his face covered with a mask. But unlike the person that shot me, he was wearing a blue overall while the former was on black shirt and top. My eyes had become bloodshot as I glared at them, wishing to tear their bones apart and drink their blood.Unfortunately, no matter how hard I tried,
CHAPTER THREEISABELLA’s POVMy body sank, and that feeling of falling into a pit made me open my eyes abruptly. My heart was beating rapidly and I felt alive, like someone was holding tight to me.Camera-clicking sounds echoed in my ears constantly, which made my brows knit tightly. Different questions seemed to be flying in the air, there was only one question that seemed to enter my ear.I looked around at the familiar place, it was the conference room. My eyes were almost blinded by the different snap lights targeted at me. Everything seemed to be live and direct.I felt sore all over my body. Suddenly, I became sober in an instant as they began to roll in their questions. Their questions were weird, but I couldn’t answer any of them.“Who would be elected for the position of director in the upcoming board meeting for Starlight Entertainment?”. I was confused now, what kind of meeting was this going on in heaven?Just then Tyler walked in, beaming with smiles. I was more confused n

Chapter 19ISABELLA'S POV BLACK LABEL Standing in front of Black Label, the tall building seemed to be mocking me. I stood still, staring at the large building with my assistant, Lucy, at my back.I couldn't help thinking the deal could have passed by me to M&S label if I had taken one step late.I have the privilege to make an encouraging and good idea of creating a global girl group due to the knowledge from my previous life. I believe in the next five years; they'll become one of the biggest girls' groups.I wouldn't have been able to come up with such ideas if not for the privilege given to me.“Ma'am, is there anyone you're waiting for?” Lucy asked leaving me in slight confusion. I couldn't help wondering what she meant by that question.“Who could I possibly be waiting for?” “Ma'am, I mean, you've been staring at nothing in particular to avoid the reporters meeting us here. I think we have to make the first time by heading inside the label.” She said.I was about to say somet
Chapter 18ISABELLA'S POV I let her hug me to her satisfaction and made sure she was the one who disengaged from the hug without showing any signs of discomfort. “Why are you here?” I asked after she disengaged from the hug while I already turned back to the mirror to look at myself but I could see her through the large mirror in front of me.“Mother sent me here to tend to you. She's worried about you. Everyone is worried about you,” She said, confusing me more.“Big sister, you shouldn't have responded to those paparazzi. Now you're the number 1 trending worldwide,” She said looking furious.“Oh that,” I muttered shortly without sparing her a glance. I had thought she was talking about something big but didn't expect it from the paparazzi scenario stuff.“Big sister, are you okay? You can tell me anything, and I'll try to help you,” Nicolette said Innocently. If it had been before, I would have immediately believed her words, given the expression she had on her face.But little do
Chapter 17Writer'S POV “Brother! Now, I can see the reason why you solemnly decided that it must be her!” Jake screamed, which seemed to get his brother - Rodrigo's attention and Steward Jones's, but the man nonchalantly acted as if he didn't hear his words.The scream made him curious as he waited for his next move, and before he knew it, Jake quickly dropped his phone and made his way to the remote control kept near the large TV.Rodrigo ignored him, thinking it was irrelevant stuff, and trying to make his way back to the study room when he screamed out again, which got his attention that he had to turn around and have a look.“Brother! Isn't she the one? Sister-in-law is so freaking manly!” Jake said unbelievable that Rodrigo could hear the surprise tone in his words.The man's gaze diverted from him before it thoroughly got fixed on the TV and there he saw her– Isabella. Being questioned by the paparazzi. The surroundings were so familiar that he didn't even need to think twice
Chapter 16ISABELLA'S POV “You're home, Isabella.” I heard the voice behind my back. Even without turning back, the voice makes me feel nothing but hatred.“Yes, I am. Were you waiting for me?” I asked before turning back to look at Tyler. I flashed him a forced smile which I had practiced within myself to use for the main time.Yes, for the main time. Which means before I divorce him.“ I have been waiting for you to come back home since it feels like you were avoiding me and even ignored my calls. Is everything okay, Isabella?” he asked with a worrisome expression that I almost laughed out but had to control myself.“Oops, I was giving you more reasons to cheat, isn't it what you deserve?” I thought inwardly while staring into space but my gaze was never leaving the man.“Of course, Everything is okay between us. Do you feel something is wrong, Tyler?” I asked, feigning innocence as if I wasn't aware of what aspect he was talking about.“I guess I was just thinking too much,” he mu
