“No I did not assault her, she was coming towards me and so I brushed her off a slight push” Cole answered firmly.“A push… when you knew she was pregnant” the investigator replied.“She knew she was pregnant when she threw herself to the ground and kept rolling how is that my fault?” Cole snapped.“So how do you explain the case of Regina Woode? She also claims that you assaulted her while on set…”“Who the hell is Regina Woode and where’s the evidence that I had an encounter with such a person? Does all this even make sense?” Cole said as rage began to build up within him.He realized that Rania had pulled a smart move on him, before he could go to the company and stall the merger process she had gotten him arrested on false allegations. Lucio was his best bet to save the company and yet he had asked Sean to get him to come to the police station. Rania must be sitting somewhere laughing her ass off by now.He had been detained overnight and hadn’t had even the chance to speak to an
Brittany started weeping when she stepped into the room and saw Fabricio lying helplessly on the bed. They were told the surgery was successful and that Fabricio was in good health but there lay Fabricio on his hospice bed looking worse than before.She took slow steps toward him trying to hide her tears but they came tumbling down her cheeks. She went to stand beside him clutching the documents to her chest. She sniffed while her mouth quivered with sorrow.“Mr. Bellini…. How are you?” She managed to ask.“Bre… is that you?” He said in a weak voice. Brittany nodded with her head bowed to prevent him from seeing her tears.Naya walked in and just then her smile faded from her face. They were told that he was okay but he didn’t look it, she staggered to his side and touched him.“Ah… aren’t you Vicenza’s mentee? She used to take care of you, you were little by then” he tried to sound cheerful.When he realized both ladies weren’t buying the act he dropped it and started to become more
Boris handed a pen drive to Cole “Sir, I compiled all the evidence you gathered and put them here, the moment she hands in the evidence of Rania’s corruption you also release her tapes…”Cole snatched the drive and gestured for him to stop talking. “She’s going to give me the evidence after the wedding so all I need to do is marry her for now… when Rania is trapped I can now discard her”Sean shook his head “Are we going to act like Brittany didn’t just get upset with you?” “Sean don’t make this harder than it already is for me okay I’m dying on the inside and the last thing I need is a reminder” Cole responded coldly.“I’ll go to her after the ceremony and beg her for her forgiveness” “If you marry Luna, then you have lost Brittany for good this time around” Sean warned him.Cole turned around and shrugged “Then so be it… she deserves to be happy I’ve caused her enough pain, if she won’t forgive me I won’t force her” Boris and Sean sunk in disappointment, they had high hopes for
[Luna Waldorf stood up on her wedding day] One headline read as the news anchor gave an account of what transpired.“It was supposed to be a private ceremony between her and her baby’s daddy but he didn’t show up for their wedding. According to sources the groom sent his assistant to call off the wedding due to unknown reasons leaving Luna devastated at the altar”People began to speculate the reason for what had happened but the biggest question was who the groom was. Those in the industry who knew Boris as Cole’s assistant concluded that it was Cole who had stood Luna up. The conversation started to veer into why Cole would stand his baby mama up, was it because he and Brittany were still together or it was because he simply didn’t want Luna? People were confused because they all knew Cole had married Brittany but they also thought Brittany and Cole had separated till they were seen together in Cole’s last public appearance. People were confused they needed an explanation, some cl
Pietro watched on as Rania sprayed the office with diesel feeling conflicted between right and wrong. He didn’t want Cole to own the corporation he wanted wealth and he wanted power and Cole was his only threat to that position. The merger did not even serve his interests because it only meant his mother and her relatives would become a stumbling block to absolute power.With absolute power there was nothing he wouldn’t achieve. Everything he desired would be his even Luna he watched on as his mother dropped the lighter and the place went up in flames. They both took their heels to escape the flames using the fire exit they came out of the building and made for the parking lot speeding off.“Mum what if we get caught” Pietro panicked as he sped off.“I made sure to tamper with the security cameras no one’s going to know it was us!” Rania exclaimed with pure joy.“What if the who corporation goes up in flames then?” He asked again stricken with fear by what they had just done.“I hope
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
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
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
