“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
Arabella had arranged a list of gossip to be released for the day but she held on with the news about Cole and Luna. “The day is too young, people are still in bed I’ll release it a little later, like a few minutes before lunch break,” she said to herself with a smirk across her face” and got up from behind her laptop. Luna sat on her bed in a glum mood, she had anticipated spending the night with Cole but Sean had shown up and messed everything up. This had caused her to be restless which in turn had affected her mood. Her phone beeped and she lazily answered the call it was a worried Raina who wanted to know the progress of Luna’s plan. “Good morning Luna, today is the second day of the shoot, and I still haven't been called to attend to you are you sure your plan is going to work?” She asked. “Raina, thanks for your patience, I’d beg you to be more patient with me, have I ever left you hanging before? Brittany is more cunning than I thought her to be, it will take more than my
“I am not lying! I don’t know where the package is coming from” Lora was worried about her friend, the exchange was getting embarrassing and everyone was watching. Cole took steps toward Brittany who took steps backward. He muttered under his breath. “You think I don’t know that it was you who made Luna stand me up on our wedding day?” Brittany looked up at him in shock. “Me? What did I do? I know nothing about why she stood you up” Brittany fought back and then stared at the crowd forming up, she blushed in embarrassment. “You’re still going to stand there and pretend? You’re still going to stand there and lie?” Cole yelled. “Enough!” Naya yelled stopping the fight before secrets flew out. “Cole, Brittany meet me behind the set right now. Luna burst into tears distracting everyone “Why did you do it, Brittany? Why? I’ve been nothing but nice to you since we arrived here why are you threatening me? Why did you put me through all that” “I didn’t do anything please believe me I
Naya quickly contacted her friends in the police and persuaded them to release Brittany. So without further interrogations, they let go of her. Brittany who had had enough of all that had happened came out of the police station with no destination in mind. Lora who was standing outside the police station quickly hid her phone when she saw her friend approaching. She looked pale making Brittany suspicious of her actions. “What’s on that phone?” She asked. “Nothing” Lora responded curtly. Brittany was in no mood to argue she stopped a cab and said to Lora. “Let’s go back to Rose Town” In the cab, Brittany took out her phone but Lora stopped her from going through it. “You don’t need all that right now, just put your head on my shoulder and relax,” she said snatching the phone away from her friend. Brittany found it suspicious and snatched her phone back. She quickly logged on to her social media page and the amount of cyberbullying going on on her page was overwhelming. Her inbo
Brittany’s heart was beating so fast you would think it was about to explode. She dashed out of the cab the moment she arrived at Cole’s villa, she was in tears without even realizing it. Lora paid for the ride and followed her friend who was walking haggardly to the entrance of the villa. When she got to the entrance she was denied access. “Mr. Williams has specifically ordered us not to let you in,” one guard told her. “You must be joking, where was I supposed to go when he took all my stuff away?” Ranted angrily and tried storming in but the guards grabbed her and threw her outside. She fell and hurt her knees but the emotional turmoil she was going through couldn’t compare to the pain that emitted from her bruised knee. She got back on her and tried forcing her way in but was pushed away again. “Bre! Let’s just go!” Lora cried. She couldn’t bear to see her friend being humiliated in that manner. “Miss Byers if you don’t get off this property we’ll be forced to call the police
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
