“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
The set had been prepared and people had already started queuing up to get the chance to audition for the game show. It was going to be about who could blow the audience's minds with the best magic tricks. The audience would decide the winner by voting for their favorite player. The player with the most votes would take home 25,000 bucks home. While the hosts got ready the camera rolled trying to capture memorable behind-the-scenes moments. Luna smiled at the camera and looked away, she sat on a stool next to Cole and rolled her eyes as Brittany touched his face up. “Say hi, Mrs. Williams,” the videographer said as he approached the couple. Brittany turned around and smiled shyly and muttered a “Hi!” The camera moved to Sean who was staring at Brittany. “She looks even more beautiful when she’s focused on her work” he whispered to himself. He noticed the camera in his face and waved it off with a smile. Arabella walked toward Luna holding some bags, she had left her phone’s vi
“So you see I was right when I said you get to experience everything firsthand right? You don’t need sources to give you the wrong information” Luna said to her. “I’m glad I came, thanks for letting me in” Arabella was grateful for the opportunity she thought Luna had given to her. “You don’t have to thank me, we’re only helping each other, you always do my publicity work for me and if there’s a way to reward you handsomely, why should I withhold that from you?” Luna responded. She wasn’t lying when she said they were helping each other. Arabella was unknowingly helping her paint Brittany black to the public and she was helping her get more content for her news agency. To her it was a win win situation. “By tomorrow the hottest and juiciest gossip will be splashed all over the news and I’ll be the only source” she announced proudly to Luna who couldn’t help but smile pleasantly at how things were turning out. “That reminds me did you notice the ring on her finger? I thought she
That night at the hotel room Cole stood at the balcony trying to get his thoughts together. Did Brittany really do a background research on him before coming to the wedding? Did Brittany threaten to harm Luna if she came for the wedding? Was Brittany a bad person seeking his downfall or everything actually happened by chance? There was a knock on the hotel room door so he left the balcony to go get it. When he opened it, it was Brittany, she frowned when she saw him. “So when they said I was going to share a room it was with you?” She exclaimed in agitation. Cole was in no mood to see her or talk to her let alone share a room with her! He slammed the door in her face. She banged on the door severally but stopped when he phone beeped, it was Lora so she forgot about her anger for a while and answered the call. “Girl! I got you a place!” She announced in excitement when Brittany answered the call. “You don’t mean it!” Brittany exclaimed. “Come to the pub and let’s talk” Lora said
While Cole followed Luna to the bar his heart throbbed as he pondered over what Luna was going to say about Brittany. He was scared that Luna would say she had found out who was behind the threats he feared Brittany was in trouble. Luna reached out for his hand as they walked side by side to the bar. Cole ignored the gesture and kept walking. Arabella spied the two from afar taking pictures and observing what happens from then on. The two made it to the bar and sat behind the counter. “Can you serve us some wine the one I always order?” She asked the waiter who readily obeyed, Cole frowned. “What is it that you want to say? I’ve already had a few drinks I don’t need more” he said. “Trust me this is good wine, it’s just 1% alcoholic” she said trying to convince him to drink with her. While Arabella lurked in the dark taking some good shots of them. Earlier Arabella had urged her to ask Cole to step out with her, so they could bond and catch up. Luna pretended to be uninterested a
Sean intercepted the duo in the corridor and stopped to talk to them and immediately noticed something off. Cole wasn’t the type of man to walk around with Luna in that manner. He would never wrap his arms around her waist, and neither would he let her wrap hers around him unless he was on camera. “Cole, what’s going on? Did Bre make you mad?” He teased. Luna shot him a glare which Sean did not miss. “Good evening Luna, where are you guys headed?” He inquired. “Cole asked me to accompany him to his hotel room, right Cole?” Luna asked. Cole nodded with a smile. Sean frowned, if he didn’t know Cole he would’ve fallen for that act, but knowing Cole he knew something was wrong. Cole would barely smile, if wasn’t filming he was always grumpy. Was Cole angry and trying to get back at someone? Or he was in trouble again? “Luna I want to talk to Cole in private for a second,” he said. “No, he needs to rest he told me…” she started to decline but Sean pulled Cole away from her. “His wif
