Lan sighed softly and caressed her arm. Thank goodness that she listened. They would talk about it when she's returned to her proper state of mind. He brought out his phone and dialled Fred's contact “Tell Mrs Ebele Johnson and her husband that Fiona is fine, she's with me now. And for my son, take care of him dotingly. I'll have Fiona take a shower and I'll bring her to the hospital to check on Nathan” He instructed. Fiona doesn't need to be told that Lan was talking to his brother. Fred Keith must have told his brother that she's Isabella Manor. Despite asking him not to, he did. But what does that matter to her now? She was almost raped by those scoundrels a while ago. They've been trying hard to get between her legs from the previous evening but luck was on her side. They punished her and tied her up all night but she still wasn't willing to play easy with them. She doesn't want them to pity her and thereby sheepishly allowed them to rape her.
Alex drove back to his apartment. From the moment Lan walked out on them and Fred told him to watch his words whenever he talks about Fiona and then ordered him to get the fuck out of his office, he hadn't really been himself. His belly hurts and his cheeks are swollen red. His entire system seemed to be out of place and he didn't understand the heat and the uneasiness from within. How can Lan Keith hit him so hard because of Isabella? He didn't realise that he was not the only person that knows she's having a real identity suppressed by the latest. He was going to act arrogant before them and leave them hanging in suspense but didn't realise that Lan Keith is not one of those patient billionaires out there. His eyes were red and his head was panting him hard. All that he needed now was having a doctor examine him and he would rest. Dr Fred knows the father of Isabella's kids. He had never made a fool of himself like he did earlier that day. He laid on
That made Fred smile broader. He knew why she pouted her lips. She probably had thought that he told Lan about her real identity despite asking him not. “I'm so happy to see you,Fiona?” Fred said and forced a hug on her. Fiona gave him a cold shoulder and said “What's the use of calling me Fiona? Just say Isabella” she shrugged. “Hahaha I didn't do anything, believe me. It was Alex who did. Besides, Lan hasn't told you the full story?” Fred asked, turning to glance at his brother. “There's no time yet. We needed to see Nathan and know how he's doing” Lan replied, placing Nathaniel down. Fiona squinted. That asshole really came here to unveil who she truly was? What does he stand to gain, how can he let Lan Keith know she's Isabella. “Let's see Nathan first,” Lan suggested. They all started walking towards the Paediatric ward, where Nathan was admitted. Meanwhile, Jeniva was having a heated argument with her manager “I don't know what you are saying,Ma
Jeniva couldn't respond but her eyes welled up in fury. The slap didn't hurt her as much as her inability to strike back because Mrs Lorita was there. Without finding a suitable response to give, she picked up her handbag and said “Please excuse ma'am” and without waiting any seconds walked out. Lorita glanced at Jeniva until she was out of the door and then turned to stare at Martha. What will she say to these two now? A manager and her artist. These two have been a perfect pair and many talked about them in the industry. But now that they've added slapping as part of the artist rehearsal, how long will this new skill work? “I know you both don't want to talk to me about what happened. But this should stop. Assault is not part of the job description for our artists. Keep that in mind” Mrs Lorita cautioned and turned herself to go. “I'm sorry ma'am. This will never happen again” Martha apologised. As Lorita stepped out, Martha gnashed her teeth and swore sil
Jeniva swallowed hard and looked down at her fingers, fondling it. How can she tell them that she was the one who hired the men to do the job? What she wanted the most was getting the video and then seeing how to dispose of those rascals. The only one who actually knows her is Scorpion. If she could just get rid of the leader, that settles it. The others only know that the one who assigned them the job was a woman and besides that, they know next to nothing. Candid Manor was furious with those suspects. How dare they want to ruin his daughter’s reputation because of their selfish desires? How could they want to drag her down? “How did they get your contact information and let me have a look at the message they sent?” Candid asked. He would show this to the police and then involve his lawyer already. He cannot take it, if anything happens to his daughter besides the one she just recovered from, she might not be able to take it. If Jeniva hadn't le
Lan saw them staring at him speechless. It seems there are questions in their minds but they don't know just how to form the words and spill it out. He sighed. Where is Fiona? How he wished she was there at that moment to explain it better to the boys. He held both of their hands and said “Do you have questions?” The boys shook their heads. They don't have questions to ask him. Seeing that the boys shook their heads, Lan sighed softly for relief. Soon Fiona and her mother joined them. They had informed James not to come over since Lan Keith will be taking them home. As soon as they saw their mom,the boys ran towards her and hugged her tightly. Fiona thought it was a mere hug until she wanted to take another step, but couldn't. “Kids, what happened, let go of me” Fiona requested but they wouldn't listen. She raised her head and locked eyes with Lan Keith but the latter shrugged. She was thinking quickly. Did Alan already tell them that he is
Meanwhile, Jeniva Manor successfully met with a certain officer and talked with him in hushed voices. She offered him a brown envelope and it all ended there. As she drove home, she was all smiles. She hoped this officer wouldn't make any mistakes. If he does his part correctly, everything will return to normalcy. But unknown to her, someone was trailing her. She must ensure that she gets everything possible to put Jeniva behind bars. Not only will she be behind bars, but gone forever from the starlight entertainment industry. Until Jeniva Manor disappears, a lot of them would never rise in that industry. She's not the only one using her body to achieve her goals, but perhaps there's something so unique about the p**sy of a celebrity like her that makes those at the higher ups always prefer her to anyone else. She filmed from a distance as Jeniva and the officer talked, the giving and taking of the envelope. She would abandon everything else and simply go after h
Fiona nodded as Lan gently raised her chin and made her stare up at him. No wonder she had a different facial look. She had surgery because of the scars that resulted from the cuts. “You decided to take Mrs Ebele's looks as a means of appreciating her for saving you?” Lan asked. Who would believe that this face was not that of a biological daughter of Mrs Ebele? “Partially and to leave no traces of suspicion that I am the same woman Isabella. I am not a Manor after all, when I am done with the Manor family, I'll see if I can find my father” She explained. “I know you are not a Manor even if you used the last name of your foster father. Finding your father would be easier than brewing a glass of coffee” Lan assured her. He knows her father, he knows uncle Larry. But now was not the time to tell her that. When the time comes, he would bring her before her father. Fiona smiled. He talks as if he knows where she would begin from. She doesn't know how to begin
Maybe he should go and come back at a time when the present tension has subsided. But then, he wants to know about his daughter as well. He'd been restless from the moment he knows that he has a daughter “My husband and I want to live peacefully. My daughter has always been found innocent and I'm sure that this time,her innocence would be proven once again…” Maria Manor stuttered. Larry Freeman nodded. She's not thinking straight at the moment. What has her daughter's innocence got to do with him and his daughter? “Oh…” Larry trailed off. What the heck! Why would he let his desire lead him this far? He needs to leave immediately and come back another time. “Yes sir. Jeniva was raised like a princess, alongside her cousin, Isabella. These girls grow up knowing only one language: love. How can all these charges be levelled against her? This is unfair. Whoever is doing this to her, will never get away with it. We'll fight for Justice and we'll surely
“I've said it before Lan, that the she-devil surnamed Manor and I aren't related in any way. We lived in the same mansion in the past but that doesn't automatically mean we are family” Fiona complained. Of all the people on earth, why would she be willing to be related to that monster? She would never have imagined that someone with an innocent facial expression can be this callous. “Yeah..I think I remember now, that you once told me she's not your cousin” Lan teased and chuckled. Fiona sighed softly. She glanced at Lan “take me home, I need to rest my head and think about what Jeniva's face would look like when she discovered that I have all the information that would usher her into jail forever..” This feeling makes her belly sweet. Someone needs to be a step ahead of her otherwise, she would think of herself to be something else,lofty and untouchable. “I think we should use this medium to our advantage, Isabella. What her face would look like doesn
Few minutes to 7pm, Lan Keith's private bodyguard called him and informed him that Luna Wesley had arrived at the Suitoria guest house and she's alone. Only then did Lan allow Fiona Johnson to place a call across to her. The latter replied promptly and Fiona asked that she meet her instead. Luna Wesley was dazed and at the same time happy that Miss Johnson honoured her invitation. It means she could get what she wants if she played her card well. Hence she contemplated on going over to meet her wherever she is. She replied and said she doesn't mind. And Fiona said she should step out of the hotel, some bodyguards were going to bring her over. Luna Wesley felt uncomfortable. Besides being a mere secretary to CEO Lan Keith, what other personalities does Miss Johnson have to make her hire bodyguards? Well, perhaps because of her abduction, she suddenly hired men to be her bodyguard. Anyways, what she wants is a ladder to the top. She stepped out and just th
Doe least expected to see the police men in the hospital and in Jeniva's ward to be precise. What the heck do they want from her? “Good day Miss Manor. We are officers from the police department and you are invited to our office to answer a few questions” one of the officers announced. Jeniva Manor's temple was now covered with beads of sweat. How on earth can it be heard that she left the hospital to the police department? She was going to seize the opportunity of having Barr. Doe with her and slip away quietly under less questions from the journalists. But these men, what do they want with her now? They've ruined this opportunity for her. “To be more precise, are you here to arrest my client?” Barr. Doe asked. He's too mature to believe such fairy tales from the police. Going to their office to get questioned was nothing different from being arrested and taken for interrogation. They can use that casual way of saying it to others, but not to some
In the Starlight entertainment industry, things have really gone jangled up. It's not news that Junxi Li has publicly been relieved of his job and his co accomplice had been blacklisted. Majority of the artists were celebrating privately that finally, perhaps a chance has come for them to rise in their career. This is going to be the opportunity they all sought after. Mrs Lorita was explaining the situation to the higher ups in the emergency board meeting. Her husband was out of the country but he had been restless from the moment the news of the scandal became the hottest news in town. Jeniva manor might have been the black sheep caught up in the web of the scandal again but the one suffering the most is the company. How can it be heard that the best entertainment industry in the city has raised such an artist who only knows how to get to the top by using their body to do it? And knowing that such purifying acts were being orchestrated amidst the staff
“Thank you for the honour of doing work with you, Mr Larry. Like I told you some time ago, I found a clue but today, I can point you to exactly where your daughter can be found. But we can only get information concerning her whereabouts, she'd left this city a few years ago and hadn't returned…” Jasmine informed Larry. No one knows how much she worked hard to find out the whereabouts of the Manor's family second Miss. The last sentence in Jasmine's words makes Larry feel uncomfortable. He'd thought he would meet his daughter eventually. But now, he has to begin from somewhere again. Although the information gathered so far was enough pointer for him to begin the second part of his investigation again. At least, he would be able to know the family his daughter had grown up with. “It's alright. You told me back then that her name is Isabella. Does she bear Alfred as her last name too?” He demanded. Did she take up her mother's last name or did she let
Lan kissed her sweetly. Fiona crossed her hands around his neck and kissed him back. It continued and gradually became a passionate one, each deepening the kiss, tongues locked, desire ignited. Fiona felt her body responded to Lan desiring something more satisfying, something more bonding and merging together. She snuggled harder into him and they kissed. A soft moan escaped Fiona's lips and Lan kissed her harder. His body was aflame and his hardness was going really rigid when his phone chirped. Lan reluctantly paused and pulled out of the kisses. Fiona's cheeks blushed as she felt shy at her sudden vulnerability in Lan's arms. Lan answered his phone and when he hung up, he said “Jeniva Manor has become a blacklisted artist in the Starlight entertainment industry. Meanwhile, investigation is ongoing on the cause of death of Scorpion's men . I have this strong intuition that they were poisoned and the mastermind behind this act cannot be far from that cou
“What? I already agreed to open up to you. Why should I lose my teeth?” Scorpion demanded, his eyes reddened and popping out,beads of sweat emerged on his temple. No one responded to him but the bodyguard seized the chance he got, when he decided to explain and kept his lips apart with the plier and before Scorpion could say Jack, he heard a sound of a noise on his tooth. The sound travelled through his ears and he heard a loud hollow noise that forced his way out of his ears and the pain followed. His head seemed to spin in pain. His brain seemed to only process the degree of pain while other impulses were placed on a temporary breakdown. Then the second hitting, he raised his ass up like he was going to jump out of the chair but he couldn't go beyond that. His legs were tied and so were his hands. He screamed in pain as suddenly he felt a force pulling out of his tooth. He screamed louder and painfully. Blood gushed out of his mouth and his he
Larry goggled through the recent news in Florida and stumbled upon the news of a certain abducted woman Fiona Johnson. This kind of news is everywhere these days but the active response of the police team was commendable. The fact that the criminals were apprehended speaks well of their professionalism but the breaking news of having those criminals dead in the police custody was something else. For the three men to have died at once in a single night calls for alarm. There's something wrong somewhere. There's an insider, a Judas among the twelve. Until that bad sheep is fished out of the fold, people would begin to lose trust in the Police department. As he perused through his phone, he was sipping from his glass of alcohol. Then the Jeniva Manor scandal broke out. Seeing the headlines, he scrolled over it, without bothering to read it. Youths of this generation are like that. Youthful exuberance, careless adventure. From what he'd found out, this
