Brittany fed Fabricio some porridge and wiped the corners of his lips. “Are you full Mr. Bellini?” She asked softly. Then she got up and holding the napkin “Let me dampen this a little bit I’ll be right back” She went to the bathroom which was a little walk away from the bed, she heard the bedroom door open and peeped to see Rania walk in she got suspicious so stayed in the washroom and pulled out her phone to film it.Rania walked up to Fabricio and sat beside him on the bed. “Fabricio, I see you’re still living, are you hoping to get well so you can give your wealth to your son? Well I have news for you Pietro is also your son and I have your power of attorney once you remain in this bed Pietro is going to be in charge…. And you’re never getting better the earlier you die the more peaceful it will be for you” she said with a sinister laugh. She got up and bent over him said.“Let me make it easier for you” She grabbed a pillow and covered his face with it trying to suffocate him.
A small crowd consisting of Pietro, Rania, some heads of departments from the Bellini corporation, Lucio, Sean, and Naya had gathered at the hospital’s waiting lounge. The mood was tensed and tensed up even more when Brittany and Cole walked up to the crowd. They both had tear-stained faces and bloodshot eyes.“What happened?” Rania screamed and hastily walked up to Brittany then hold on to her blouse trying to drag her “he was fine this morning what happened to him?” Cole quickly stepped in and released her top from Rania’s grip. “You? Why are you even here? Were you, not the one who disowned your family and cut ties with us? Why are you here?” She croaked at Cole. Cole, Lucio, and Brittany glared at her, she was a great pretender, and if they didn’t know her they’d have believed she genuinely cared about Fabricio. Cole was dying to punch her in the face for putting his father in that state. “He passed out and wouldn’t open his eyes, it was critical but. I tried to call you… when
They were about to go out of the hospital when one of Pietro’s guards walked up to Brittany and told her that Pietro had asked him to come for her and take her back home. Brittany hesitated but Cole and Sean asked her to go.“I have no business going back there. Mr. Bellini is gone” she protested.“Just go and hear what he has to say,” Sean said.Brittany was scared to go back there alone she stared at Cole who reassured her that it was okay “I won’t let anything happen to you” he assured her.With such an assurance she loosened up and left with the guard, while Cole left with Sean and Naya. The ride home was filled with tension.“Cole, where is your dad?” Naya asked breaking the silence in the car.“He’s mid-flight to another town to see Doctor Morris he’s the best heart doctor in the country and I believe if he treats Dad he will be fine” Cole responded.“So now that Rania is demanding an autopsy what are you going to do?” Naya panicked.“We’re going to give her one, all the drugs
He closed in on her and tried to snatch it from her but Boris stepped in interrupting the two, he held some boxes in his hands and greeted them,“Good afternoon everyone, can anyone tell me which way Miss Luna’s bedroom is?” He asked loudly making the two of them stare in his direction.Brittany jumped out of the corner of the room and approached him.“I can… I can take you” she offered.“But madam… you’re still married to sir Williams he wouldn’t be happy to know you were in such a compromising position with his brother” Boris scolded Brittany.“Did you see us in any kind of position?” Pietro asked.“Yes I did and I will tell my boss” Boris responded.“There’s no need Boris, let’s just go so I show you,” Brittany said taking the lead. Pietro tried to follow but Boris hissed at him.Pietro started to suspect Brittany and wanted to get his hands on the documents, it could be possible that his father had left a will, and if so then Cole could be in it. He hurried off to see his mother
Boris made his way to the garage and opened his car door and dropped a document. That was the original Copy of Mr. Bellini’s will Brittany had slipped over to him on their way out of the safe room. He pulled the seat up and opened a small box then picked up the document and placed them in it then fixed the seat back to its normal state. He opened the box he had taken out of Luna’s room he used that box to hide the documents and was about to discard it but felt it was unusually heavy so he picked it up and saw a silicone false baby bump.For a few seconds he sat down processing what it was, then it clicked. Luna had ordered these to fool Cole about her pregnancy. It could only mean one thing, Luna wasn’t even pregnant in the first place.He took out his phone and called Cole “Boss, please call me back when you receive this voicemail it’s about Luna’s pregnancy I just found…” he turned around and saw Luna standing behind him holding a club before he could stop her she whacked him on th
Cole lifted Boris into the backseat of the car while the servants and other occupants of the house came running in. When they saw what was happening some wailed and some helped Cole put Boris in the car. Cole was about to drive but his driver stopped him and got into the driver’s seat. Cole resigned to the passenger and was about to close the door when Luna ran in.“Oh my goodness, what happened? Let me go with you!” She cried and tried to get in but he brushed her aside and banged the door. Luna watched as they drove away crying helplessly wishing she hadn’t done what she did.What if Boris didn’t wake up? Then she would be a murderer, but what if he did? Then she’d be a liar.She ran to the living room still weeping when she met Pietro and Rania who were about to go to the garage. Rania smiled when she saw her, “what was all that ruckus going on out there?” She asked.“Boris… Cole found Boris on the floor… I don’t know if he’s still alive” she cried.Rania raised her eyebrows in s
Cole hovered around the ward occasionally casting stares at Boris who slept soundly on the hospital bed. Sean came in and walked to Boris’ bed when he saw the bandage on his head he frowned.“What happened to him?” He asked Cole.“Looks like someone hit him on the head, he has a small cut” Cole responded.Sean sighed “Cole you look stressed is anything wrong?”“A lot of things are going wrong for me at the same time I wish I could disappear and never come back” Cole snapped.“And leave Brittany for me right? I always knew you’d leave her for me” Sean smirked.“Brittany has left me again and I don’t know what I’ve done!” Cole said holding back tears. He took the note out of his pocket and handed it to Sean. “I think my family was threatening her or Luna was threatening her” Cole stated as Sean read the note.“I think it’s both of them, you have to go to her and find out what’s wrong,” Sean said but Cole shook his head.“She’s not home and her number is off, I don’t want to stress her
Rania and Pietro were walking out of the house with the entourage behind them holding their suitcases and luggage. The media ambushed them flashing lights in their faces,“Mrs. Bellini it’s been a few days since we heard the tragic news, we’re here to confirm whether it’s the truth or not,” one reporter said pointing the mic at her.The family along with the corporation had agreed not to make the news public until the autopsy results had been released.Rania sighed “Right now we’re going through a tough time and we prefer not to talk about the CEO of Bellini Winery for now, for now, my son Pietro is in charge of all affairs of the corporation, he’s the CEO from now onwards” Rania announced trying her best to look sad.“Does that mean that the CEO is truly no more?” Another reporter asked but Rania did not respond.“Mrs. Bellini according to our investigations Pietro is not the first son of the corporation, why is the first son no longer mentioned and why hasn’t he been named as a joi
Luna broke down and wept as Pietro hugged her and consoled her. After she sniffed and composed herself she stared at Pietro and wiped her tears. “I want to write an apology to Cole and ask him to forgive me, I’ll admit my wrongdoing and beg him to not sue me… I’ve already started losing my modeling contracts” she cried.“If that’s what you want I’ll help you write it, anything you want just tell me, and I’ll do it with you” Pietro offered. Luna wiped her tears with a smile on her face and nodded.“Okay,” she turned around and made for her couch,“Won’t you at least give me a hug?” Pietro asked Luna rolled her eyes at him. Brittany was seeing that all her things were packed into Cole’s villa, alongside the new equipment she had bought for her vlog. Fabricio walked slowly around the villa holding his walking stick, it was part of his morning exercise routine to help him recover from his surgery and strengthen his heart. He stopped beside Brittany who was standing a few meters away fr
So Cole had been doing his underground investigation and never mentioned it to anyone? Naya thought to herself she had to applaud him on that one. Brittany stood by her husband as he revealed everything little by little and couldn’t help but admire him even more.“Mr. Williams does it mean that you are not going to accept responsibility for the baby she’s carrying,” Arabella asked suddenly trying to defend Luna even though all odds were against her.Cole stared straight into her eyes and gave her a half smile, “that leads me to the most important video in this entire collection”He fast-forwarded the video to Luna’s wardrobe where there were all kinds of silicone baby bumps starked in there at all levels of pregnancy. “What you see are fake baby bumps Luna purchased to fool me into thinking I made her pregnant… if you think I’m lying I bring in the delivery guy who brought all her purchases and I will show you her receipt of the list of items she paid in the past two months”Arabell
The internet was running wild after seeing Cole and Brittany outside having fun together and were anxiously waiting for a response from the couple. While people were waiting to hear something from the couple, they were fast asleep in each other’s arms. However, their beautiful sleep was interrupted by Naya’s loud pounding on the door. Cole opened his eyes and rolled his eyes, he lay Brittany down gently and got out of bed to attend to the knocker.Naya stormed in looking very angry, “Cole don’t you know how to treat things urgently, how can you be asleep when your career is in danger?”“Ssh my baby is sleeping” he hushed her infuriating her even more. Brittany yawned and sat up.“Now you’ve woken her up” Cole sighed.“God, I want you two to get dressed up and come to my office but at 9:00 we have a press conference to address the public about everything that has gone on and also Cole you’re announcing your return to the holy magic game show as a host”“But…”“No buts you two should
When paparazzi saw Cole and Brittany in public they started taking photos of them. They hurried inside the boutique holding hands.“Cole, was this a bad idea?” Brittany asked as the paparazzi continued to follow them.“Mr. Williams, how do you feel now that your stepmother is in prison?” One reporter asked.“Mr. Williams, is it true that you bribed Brittany to marry you to hide your sexuality?” Another asked.Cole chuckled while holding on tightly to Brittany’s hand.“Some women swear you’re gay when you reject them” Cole mumbled but it was loud enough for the reporters to hear them.“So is it true that you beat Miss Luna up?” Came yet another question.“Miss Brittany Byers, is it true that Cole fooled you with marriage?” One reporter asked Brittany.Brittany stopped and grabbed the mic from him and with a stern look yelled “Cole is my husband period! If you believe what some delusional woman tells you that’s your problem” She dropped the mic on the floor and took Cole’s hand draggin
They both sat on the bed and had their breakfast from the bed tray table Cole turned on the TV while Brittany screamed.“No!”But the TV was already on and there Luna sat in a round table discussion crying and playing victim.“At that time my father was just a lowly foreman of the Bellini farm, we dared not disobey Rania, so I had no option than to blame Cole… it was hard and I was so sad I wanted to beg him but how to do that without reminding him of the past? This is why I kept my identity hidden from him, to protect him from the trauma” she said sadly.Cole’s grip tightened around the tv remote as he closed his eyes in anguishThat’s enough!” Britany said and snatched the remote from him and turned the tv off.“I will kill her! She blamed me because of money how dare she lie about it… I’ll kill her with my bare hands”Brittany cupped his face in her palms and kissed his forehead.“The last thing I need is for you to go to jail okay? let’s teach her a lesson, one she’ll never forge
“I’m envious of my friend. He gets to have such a beautiful gem like you by his side…” Sean remarked.“Sean, why are you here?” Brittany asked and offered him a seat while settling in an armchair beside him.“Bre, Cole was arrested right after we left the hangar on accusations from people he didn’t even know about”Brittany gasped, how come no one told her about it? She wondered to herself.“Is he okay?” She asked about getting out of her seat when Sean touched her hand and patted it gently.“Luna offered to help him only if he married her, she even offered to help him expose Rania to the world … to which he agreed because he was desperate, but guess what”“What?”“When Cole was preparing to wed her he told her to keep it a secret he intended to ditch her after he had exposed Luna but barely had he gotten dressed when he found out one shocking secret”Brittany’s heart skipped a beat, why had Sean stopped talking? What did Cole find out? Was he okay?“Why have you stopped? Talk I’m li
Luna shook her head, “No… no I won’t do it… I can’t do it”Pietro went into the room and closed the door behind him “Maria, my dad is suing my mum for a huge amount in the name of defamation, if she loses this case then she will not only go to jail but have a lot of money to pay too” “It’s unlikely that she’ll win even if I claim Cole raped me, Cole still won the case if I make a statement I’ll also be in trouble” Luna tried to explain to him.“Maria, you remember how Cole stood you up at the altar? Don’t you want to get back at him?” Pietro queried her.“I do!” She responded.“So say it, tell the world that he raped you”Maria stared at Pietro, now she was seeing him well, he looked like his brother Cole, and yes he was just as handsome as him but why did she hate him so much? Certainly, it was only because of what he did to her but something more, was it because he never apologized or became his mother treated the case as if giving her money would cure the pain he caused her?Now
She was indirectly threatening anyone who opposed her and the executives knew it. “Let the voting begin!” Soon the projector was displaying a number of votes with people bold enough to side with Lucio and those scared to disagree with Rania.“We will be taking notes of your votes for future use thank you” Rania passively warned them. When the voting session was over Rania smiled it was a tie with no majority. She smirked “Since it was a tie the new CEO and I will cast our votes too…”“Which new CEO? When was a new CEO announced?” Fabricio’s voice boomed through the speakers and startled everyone. Fabricio stormed in, in the company of some guards and Naya.Rania and Pietro ran from the podium in shock.“Hello, Rania!” Fabricio greeted with a sarcastic smile on his face.“Oh my darling Fabricio so you were alive” She shed some crocodile tears and tried to run to his side but Fabricio brushed her aside and took over the podium and adjusted the mic to a better position.“Hello every
Rania helped Pietro dress up while Luna sat outside the room waiting for them. Soon they both stepped out and Luna sprung up from the stool on which she sat. The trio marched to the corridor about to exit the hotel room when Rania stopped immediately and turned to Pietro. She fixed the collar of his shirt with a proud smile on her face,“Finally son, we’re here the world is waiting to see the new CEO” “Are the autopsy results out?” Pietro asked feeling uneasy about the whole situation. They had promised to not announce a new CEO till the results were out and Fabricio was buried. Why the rush? Was the merger that important to her?“Today is your day and all you can think about is some stupid autopsy?” Rania snapped at him.“I’m asking because it would make my day complete if we had the report of what caused Dad’s death” he leaned in closer and whispered in his mother’s ear “We could end the day by accusing Cole of murdering him” He stared at Luna’s face maybe if Cole goes to jail Lu
