They headed straight for Cole’s villa as soon as they got to Rose Town. He was standing at the entrance of the house waiting for them. Brittany gulped as soon as he saw his tall figure standing at the doorway in a glum mood. She wondered where she’d go next in case Cole kicked her out, for now, she had nowhere to go. “Bre go inside Sean and I need to talk,” he said with a cold look on his face. Brittany didn’t like how Cole had ordered her and wanted to warn him but his mood was so cold it sent shivers down her spine. She quickly disappeared inside. Cole immediately turned to Sean who looked apologetic. “Look Cole, I didn’t mean to cause another scandal and get you dragged again. I was just trying to be kind to her…” “Why are you always interested in the people around me? I make a new friend the next time I know it they’re your best friend, I meet a girl I like the next thing I know she’s your wife” Cole stated. “What? You haven’t even made a friend in about 6 years or more and
Soon the video was going viral everyone was talking about it. Some said Cole looked at Brittany with unadulterated passion, others said Brittany was forcing herself on Cole it didn't matter what anybody said, as long as they were talking about it it kept the video trending. Naya was in her office when someone called her to check so she did. The video had been cut to the part where Cole walked in and started playing with Brittany’s hair. Then he talking undertone to her and then she leaning backward and kissing him. Naya was intrigued. “Wow, even Luna couldn’t have pulled this off, Cole wouldn’t let this happen how is Brittany doing this so effortlessly? She was definitely the best emergency bride, perhaps she was the woman who was going to make Cole finally happy. The woman was going to make Cole fall in love” She wanted to call and find out what was happening but was confused as to who to call, in case the couple were ‘busy’ she wouldn’t want to interrupt them. On the contrary th
Lora stared at Brittany in disbelief “You guys had a fight after that kiss? Unbelievable! It looked so passionate I dreaded being single” Brittany scoffed “And so do all his kisses in his movies, Cole is a serious jerk trust me you wouldn’t like him within two minutes of getting to know him” “You used to like him way back when debuted, we’ve watched all his movies because of you, I became his fan because of you!” Lora tried to remind her friend of how lucky she was to be married to her idol. “After meeting him in person I now understand why it’s better to like some people from afar,” Brittany remarked. “You have no idea how much of a jerk he is… do you know his family cut ties with him? I found it online” Brittany announced. Lora’s curiosity was piqued immediately, the best actor in town had been cut off by his family who wouldn’t be interested? “No wonder you never hear anything about his family but why did they cut him off? Who are they let me search them up” Lora asked. “I ha
Brittany sulked all the way to Cole’s villa. “Fall in love with Cole? How could she say that? I’d never tie myself to that brat just because of money, he can go to hell for all I care” when a few meters away from the entrance she saw Cole standing a few feet away from the door staring straight at her. She gulped and got closer with the intention of walking past him, when she got closer to him he yelled. “Where are you from?” Brittany stared at him, was he asking because he cared about her? She wondered. Maybe Cole did like her, maybe there was a little bit of affection. “Why are you asking? It’s not your business” she snapped trying to walk away but he grabbed her arms and shook her. “You went to your friend at the bar right? You went there to insult me again!” He yelled again. Brittany gasped in horror, how did he know? Was Cole following her? Or he had bugged her phone. She tried to break free but he pushed her hard she fell on the pavement. “You’ll pay for all you’ve said,
“Did you try to find out why they couldn’t make it?” Cole asked. “No, they never reached out to explain why they did what they did, don’t you think I deserved an explanation? This was a wedding the whole world anticipated then they dipped without an explanation or apology so I’ve also decided to also move on without them” Naya replied. “There must’ve been a reason why they’d do that, you should find out” Cole insisted. “I’m not… but since when have you been interested in such things? You’re acting strange” Naya remarked. Cole went mute, he wanted to tell Naya what Luna had told him but on second thought, he held his mouth. If Brittany was really behind this then the girl was more cunning than he thought and he’d have to be more careful. What stopped him from telling Naya was the fear that Naya wouldn’t believe him and she might even spill the beans to Brittany who would in turn change her tactics. “Brittany may have prevented her boss from coming to the wedding so that she coul
“Hello, Cole, good morning... Hope you are doing well” Luna asked over the phone in a pleasant tone, she was beaming with smiles while talking to him, like a teenage girl in love. “I’m well... I hope you’re fine too” Cole asked. “Of course I am… you don’t need to be too worried about it, I’m okay now” Luna said. Cole wasn’t too worried about her, he was more worried that he might find out that Brittany planned all this. He had been hurt badly by the people around him and was afraid that he’d be hurt again by someone he had allowed into his space. It would be better to get rid of her now than later but he was clinging to some form of hope that she was truly innocent. He hadn’t known her for long so he shouldn’t have been feeling the way he was but for some strange reason, it was hurting him. “Do you plan on investigating where the threats came from?” He inquired. “No, at least for now, since the letter asked me to stay away from you or they’d hurt me, I did just that. I don’t pla
Naya looked up from her laptop when Cole stepped back into the office. “Since when did you start taking calls out of this office? Is there something I should know?” Naya asked inquisitively. “It’s a private matter,” Cole said trying to cut her off but it only piqued her interest even further. “Since when have you had private issues, Sean and I are the only friends you have, I’m the one that handles all your business affairs so what exactly were you saying on that phone that demanded privacy?” Naya asked making Cole frown. He was beginning to realize how much his life revolved around Naya and Sean, he had no personal relationships and all other people he spoke to were virtually his servants. No wonder Naya was curious. Naya on the other hand thought Cole was taking a liking to Brittany and had even stepped out to talk to her. Just the thought of the two of them hitting it off excited her. “It’s my business Naya stay out of it,” Cole said grimly. “Fine. So I’ll be making some cal
He had taken off his shirt and Brittany couldn’t take her eyes off his toned muscles and abs. “Why is your shirt off?” She found herself asking unable to stop herself from staring at his body. “Why are you in my room? Who gave you permission?” He asked walking closer to her, she took steps back as she struggled to find her voice. “I only came here to say that I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to hurt you… I didn’t mean all those things that I said… I…” “Who says I’m hurt? Who says I care what you say about me? That’s how people like you are… you sit out there and say rubbish about people you know nothing about” Cole said spitefully. “I’m not perfect but I don’t do that Cole, I was just mad at you,” she said remorsefully. “I don’t care, get lost,” he said and banged the door shut in her face. “Gosh, how could someone be so fine?” She thought to herself. Then she snapped out of the trance and frowned. “You’re mean Cole! This is the last apology you receive from me, I’m not going to apolo
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
