So she manipulated Mr Bennett into having a cold heart towards Isa.Some months later, the news of Isa's Mom dying in a ghastly accident spread like wildfire. Isa became so hopeless. She neither ate nor spoke with anyone.Her whole world came crashing down on her head. Ryan was abandoned and brought to her. Seeing him added another torn to her heart. He had a kidney disease that nearly took his life but…Isa's memory began to breach at this point. She squeezed her eyes so tight, wishing it wouldn't stop.She continued holding on, despite the excruciating pains she was feeling in her brain.It was as though she was in a trance. Everything around her was quiet and cold. It was as if she was reborn and starting her life all over.As everything replayed in her memory, her heart was racing and inching for the end. She wanted to see the end of everything and know how it all happened.Then it came. The answer to the query that lingered in her head appeared before her eyes.The sounds of moa
He said and flipped into a transparent shirt that clinged to his body.Isa shoved the feeling she was getting aside. She needed to focus on her plans and in order to get it accomplished, she has sealed her heart from accepting any feelings from any man.“You look extremely beautiful. It's unlike you.” Raymond said, staring at her closely.“What do you mean by it's unlike me?” Isa asked, trying to get his point.“No…nothing…nevermind.” He shrugged. He didn't want to go deeply into her dress code since she lost her memory. He feared that if he told her about her old-fashioned dress codes before she lost her memory, she might go back to it.Earlier that day, Isa went out to do some shopping. Back then when she was working out her ass for the company, she had no time for herself. She worked so hard to take the company's identity to the top without realizing that Douglas had his plans to divorce her.Now, she has decided to use his money anyhow that pleased her after all, she worked hard f
Mrs Rhoda Bennett slammed her foot against the floor, disappointed at Evelyn. Furious that Evelyn couldn't carry any of her traits. If not by now, Evelyn would have been manipulating and maneuvering things her own way just like she did to Mr Bennett.“You have to get that damn ass off that seat and find a solution. Find a solution before it gets late.” Mrs Rhoda Bennett said and grunted at the end of her words.Evelyn walked back into her room and dropped herself on the bed with a muffling sound. Reins of thoughts embedded inside her head but she couldn't get hold of anyone to ponder on.She paused between her thoughts and scoffed at herself. She mocked herself for letting a pauper like Isabella make her pass through hell. She looked around to behold the beauty of herself and everything around her.She lacked nothing. She attended one of the best schools and was born into the Bennett's family; where any man would dream to marry from. In terms of appearance, her skin was brighter and
Look who Isa met at the door. Her eyes swam in gladness and ran it over Crystal's thin body. Crystal pulled back a little and stormed her gaze all over Isa's body.“Wow.” She exclaimed in a mutter. She has never seen Isa look this hot in a blue lace gown that stopped at her thighs, bearing a bold opening that revealed her back.Isa led her inside the house with a smile and showed her a seat. Crystal became embedded with thoughts. The Isa she knew was styleless. She even had images of Isa wearing shirts in pant trousers replaying in her head or was it just her illusion? Even when she initiates the best shopping mugs to her, Isa would decline over a table heaped with files and documents.“What are you staring at?” Isa asked, noticing the intense gaze from Crystal.“Nothing…just that you changed.” Crystal shrugged with a wave. Isa rose and walked to the fridge. Crystal's gaze followed her. She could be mistaken for a model with her nimble steps, aligning with the unusual twinge between h
“I am sorry if my presence wasn't what you expected to see. My boss wants to see you.” “Sorry for yourself. And who is your god-damned boss?” Isa was about to yell back at him but she held back herself.She was tired and weak. All she needed at that moment was rest. Not going to see the face of one annoying billionaire son. But she urged herself to follow the guard.“It will only take an hour.”“An hour is too much.” She mumbled fiercely back to herself.“Maybe some minutes and I will be done with him. And never go to his house ever again.” She cursed under a deep breath and got led by the guard.Isa walked into Raymond's Mansion with faint steps. She wanted to appear strong in Raymond's eyes but her appearance would likely betray her. She was battered emotionally, not aware of her own footsteps. Not also aware that the guard wasn't following behind her anymore.When she finally arrived in front of a giant, polished door, she turned around and didn't see the guard. It was then that s
Isa stares with open mouth as they arrived at the L-shaped kitchen. It was so enormous that she felt that someone could get lost inside of it. Raymond lifted her and placed her on the kitchen unit. She really wanted to help out but got declined by him.She watched him opening one of the under counters and wished she could see the contents of each pantry and cabinets.She wondered what he was making to be perceiving such a sweet fragrance of mixed spices. She looked at him and admired him. Every movement he took made her throat inch for his food. She even wondered who taught him how to prepare food.“Who taught you how to cook?” Isa asked, breaking the deafening silence. He smiled and tilted his head as if thinking of what to say.“The chief cook did. She was like a mother after my Mom.” Isa was surprised to hear him say he had a Mom.“Is your Mom in this house?” She asked, astounded but he scoffed.“I am just playing my card of safety, you know. I know you won't be doing this if your
What seemed like a deafening silence drifted in. Isa stares into his tender face and all she could see was a strong desire, lust and want for what she couldn't fathom.His words resonated a strong urge in her to ask him more questions. To ask him who he was currently into. She wanted to laugh at his words, hearing that he was currently into someone.She knew that was a bittersweet lie because he had several classes of girls lined up for him and was dying to be his girl. Girls that are ready to do anything to make him see them.She smiled again at the thought that a billionaire son like Raymond would settle down for only one woman when several pretty women were dying for him.It was hard to believe his words but she couldn't ignore the powerful aura of genuine authoritation she was getting from him.Her mouth was watering to ask him.“Can there be an additional question?” She puffed, nerve-wrecked in nervousness.Raymond nodded with his storming dark eyes, staring intensely at her unus
“You can't possibly be my son's wife.” The elderly woman yelled at the top of her voice. Isa just stood, dumbstruck. She had no idea that the grumpy old lady standing before her was Douglas's Mom. Nobody ever talked about her so she didn't know what she would look like.Isa gazed at the woman's face. A thick brown, rounded face with one side of her cheek steeped by wrinkles. Seeing her, made the picture of Mrs Rhoda Bennett appear in her head.There seems to be not much difference between them. The woman in front of her could even be worse.The guards and maids trotted into the kitchen on hearing her loud voice. She turned around and faced them.“When did Douglas get married to this thing? This was not the woman he talked to me about.” She asked the guard with a fierce voice, it flowed out like a storm battering across their faces.The guard pinched his beards and threw a pitiful gaze over her shoulders, at Isa. He knew Isa's situation and needed to explain things to Douglas's Mother
Raymond shot a glance at the taxi's speedometer. It was at its highest but the car wasn't running as fast as he had expected.He urged the driver to drive faster as he could sense danger from afar. Not too far away. The nearer the black Honda came, the deeper he could feel the danger.Suddenly, the black honda pulled itself into the same level with the taxi. He saw four men putting on black masks. They were unrecognizable except from the tiny holes around their eyes which permitted them to see through and the tiny hole below their nostrils which allowed the passage of air.At this point, Raymond knew that he was in very big trouble. He could see a long pistol hanging across each man's chest and he saw a burning rage flaming in each of their eyeballs.He thought of nothing else but Isabella. How she was doing, what she might be doing at the moment or what could be going on through her thoughts. He recalled how she pleaded with him not to leave and how she told him it was dangerous outs
Isabella muttered one last prayer before she shifted the laptop to herself to input the password.Sure, she wouldn't let him see the password because she couldn't trust anybody.She added more energy to hasten whatsoever she was doing. She wasn't sure who the suspect was.It could be the chairman but she hoped it shouldn't be him.On her first try, she unlocked the company's shares. She threw a galbce at the chairman who widened his eyes in shock.“How did you manage to know this?” The chairman suddenly asked in amazement.Isa just made a smirk.“Chairman, you forget things so easily. You must have forgotten that I was the same person that built this company to the top ten. Who do you think created the password to the company's shares?” She asked, making another cold smirk.The chairman took a deep breath and laughed.He couldn't possibly believe what she just said.“How is that possible. I thought Douglas was a smart man. Why didn't he change the password to the company's shares, kno
As soon as they got inside the upper room, the system operators began to tremble on seeing the police men.The manager had to assure them that they weren't here to get them arrested.“All I need is your cooperation and nothing more.” The inspector mumbled to them to put their hearts at ease.He knew what they were scared of. Of course, they were young, vibrant guys and they might probably be involved in cyber crimes or internet fraud but he wasn't interested in any of that.The only thing he set his mind to do is to dig out who the culprit is.“Replay the clips, starting from this morning.” He said, narrowing his eyes.They turned on the TV that was connected to the cameras at the morgue attendant's room.The inspector watched the TV with every gusto in him. His eyes widened in shock as he saw Isa and Raymond walk inside the office.He maintained his steeze as they watched the TV from the moment the duo walked in to the moment the uniformed able bodied men left the morgue with the mor
In the middle of their interaction, a call came in from the Federal Government. One of the ladies picked up the call and pressed the loud speaker button for everyone to hear what they had to say to each other.At this point, the case was resting in the hollow palms of the citizens. They were disappointed in the federal government for what happened.The individual who communicated with them wasn't specifically the federal government but an arm and messenger from the federal government.“This message is coming directly from the Federal government. I am here to tell you all that you have falsely been accusing them for what they know nothing about.” The baritone voice began from the other end and paused halfway to catch a breath.An unusual deafening silence drifted in. It was so quiet that if a pin was thrown on the floor, the sound would be heard clearly.“They have heard all your complaints and have decided to find the suspects behind the death of the morgue attendant and the patholog
As the cool evening wrapped closer, the police station became crowded as officers trotted out from the inspector general's office.They were all coming from the inspector general's office. He called them after the news reported the death of the lady.Actually, the police station branch where Mrs Rhoda Bennett was arrested had nothing to do with the case of the dead lady but the inspector general took it upon himself to investigate the case.He called the inspector general of that branch and requested that the case be transferred to his own branch.And yes was his answer because they were once good friends.The inspector general called his officers afterwards and commanded them to go and fetch any evidence that could be linked to the death of the lady.“Go out there. Do whatever you have to do to fetch me the cause of the lady's death.” He had said when he was addressing the officers. They were all lined up like soldiers ready for war. Their faces were staring into the empty space whil
Isa was still curled up like a baby in the duvet when her phone began to ring. She became so scared and wondered who it might be.She alighted from the bed and grabbed the phone from the top of the drawer. She glanced at her phone screen and saw that it was the chairman. She was supposed to meet up with him after getting the autopsy results but the car crash accident became a big barrier.Since then, she hasn't gotten the opportunity to reschedule their meeting and now he is calling her phone.She didn't know what to do; whether to pick up the call and tell him that a lot of things went wrong from the time they were meant to meet or give him a run down of the trouble they were in which got them into another city.On a second thought, she restrained herself. She couldn't possibly trust anyone, not when they couldn't wrap their hands around who the suspect might be.She allowed the phone to ring for some minutes, thinking of the right words to utter to him.She desperately needed to se
She shut her eyes, allowing her memory to dance in the ecstasy of his kiss.He began to suck her mouth slowly, sliding his tongue into every corner of her mouth. He almost choked her to death.He kept on sliding in as if he was searching for something precious to him.Suddenly, he paused and looked into her eyes. She reciprocated with an alluring smile and licked her lips.At that moment, she felt safe and satisfied with him and wished there would be a way for her to repay him for all that he has done for her.Staring into her face, his eyes slowly traveled to the nape of her neck. He felt like sucking the hell out of her lith skin.The manner in which she stared at him showed that she was longing for more of his kisses but what he felt at that moment was more than a kiss.He wished she was his already so he could toss her into his arms and deal with her in the measure he longed for.“Why are you staring at me like that?” He whispered to her.She became quite flustered at his words. H
How would she make this lady understand that she is on the run? And that she can't trust anyone at the moment.“Hey, pretty…don't act like you don't like what I'm offering you.” The lady said sarcastically, tugging at Isabella's blouse.Isa became alert and looked up at the lady. Why did she tug at her in that manner? Is it mandatory to accept her nasty offers?Something about her made her feel so uncomfortable. She threw a gaze towards Raymond but he was still focused on filling the form.The moment he lifted his head and saw the lady on the black blazers, he screamed Isabella's name.“Run.” He shouted with the top of his voice, looking through a crowd that suddenly appeared from nowhere.Perhaps, it was time to board the plane.Isabella sprang up from the bench and began to run, forcing herself through the crowd.She was panting like never before. There was nothing else on her mind other than to get hold of Raymond's hands.She managed to tilt her neck backwards as she caught a gli
He suddenly pulled the car to the side of the road. Everything seemed like a dream to him. It's barely ten minutes since they drove out of the morgue and barely fifteen minutes since those uniformed men took the pathologist and the morgue attendant away.How possible could it be that they were both found dead? Actually the Airlines news station doesn't give fake information.“The pathologist and the morgue attendant are both dead?” Isa asked, perplexed.“How could that be possible?” He replied with scrutiny on his face.A while ago, three uniformed men who claimed to come from the Federal Government came and cuffed them out of the morgue.According to the news, their death didn't result from any form of car accident.Which only means one thing. Those men were sent to kill the pathologist and the morgue attendant.But why? Raymond shaked his head vehemently as a series of thoughts stormed into his head.If those men truly came from the Federal Government, they would kill only the path
