In the morning, Adrian had a doctor come check Manuel since he had been sleeping for over four hours.He had never seen Manuel this way, and had never seen Manuel sleep in the last three and a half years. Adrian was shocked to find out that Manuel had slept all of a sudden.According to Vanessa, Manuel slept on top of her. He had never heard anything like it, it was as if Manuel passed out. But the doctor finally confirmed to them that he fell asleep."Mr Adams has a sleeping disorder. It is caused by his inability to sleep for over three years" The doctor finally announced."What?" Both Vanessa and Adrian exclaimed at once. "A sleeping disorder?" Adrian questioned the doctor.Aside from the fact that Manuel had a sleeping disorder, Vanessa couldn't believe what she heard the doctor say. That he hasn't slept for three years. How was he able to put up with that?"Mr Howells had insomnia and it's getting severe because he didn't take proper medications. So he might sleep very often." Th
He looked around the room and his eyes fell on the woman on the floor near the door. He squinted his eyes as he glared at her. Manuel clenched his fist in order to hide his anger. Who dared to touch his Vanessa?"Mrs Howells!" Adrian rushed immediately to help her up.Vanessa allowed him, and she pushed him off after. She looked at Manuel sternly. She didn't want him to say anything or get involved in her activities. Vanessa knew that only Mr Adams was aware of Manuel being her husband again. No one else in the industry knew. She wouldn't want him to reveal that now.She tried gesturing to him, Manuel wouldn't listen so he went ahead to address the issue. He looked at her reddened face, he heard the loud clap. He didn't expect that it was Vanessa who got slapped."Who dares to lay hands on my woman?" He questioned, his loud husky voice thundered in the ward.The doctor recognized who he was, so he went forward to greet him."Good day Mr Howells. What a pleasant surprise to see you he
About a few hours later, while Manuel was still waiting outside the ward, Adrian came in to inform him of something."Mr Howells. This is all the information I gathered about the case" he explained.Manuel took the files immediately. He opened and read them. Adrian also revealed to have caught the man who stabbed Vanessa."Manuel!" He heard a familiar feminine voice speak from behind him. When Marina reached where he stood, she wanted to be all over him. He immediately rebuked her from hugging him."Manuel, aren't you over this already?" She asked him.Manuel glared coldly at her, he didn't even wish to see her an inch closer to him."What do you want, Marina?" Manuel asked her, he handed the documents over to Adrian, followed by a gesture for him to excuse them.After Adrian left, Manuel and Marina went to the waiting area together. "Manuel, you know what I want." Marina finally replied to his questions.Manuel's eyes didn't leave her, he was curious to know exactly what Marina woul
Vanessa wondered how long it had been since she had fallen unconscious, she didn't only think about that but also the reason why she was in the hospital in the first place.Someone had tried to stab Manuel and she stood in for him, taking the hit.For a moment, she felt stupid for doing such a thing but Vanessa considered it as a return of favor. For all of the times he'd saved her from getting harmed.Vanessa tried to move her arm, it was still so painful for her. She wondered how long it would take her to recover. She needed to go and clear her name.Vanessa looked at Manuel who didn't stop Staring at her since she woke up."I didn't do it," she said briefly. "I didn't push Mara." She added. Vanessa didn't think that Manuel believed her. He had once accused her of being spiteful and could do anything to surpass any of her colleagues. She couldn't help but think that he was also blaming her for Mara's predicament. Since he was also in contact with Marina."I believe you," Manuel said
Marina was allowed by Manuel to go into the room, when she got in and Vanessa saw her, she was instantly furious."What are you doing here?" She asked Marina angrily.Marina laughed out hysterically, she was so pleased to see Vanessa chained to the bed. Manuel entered afterwards and he stood right behind Marina."What is she doing here?" Vanessa asked the man who was her husband.Manuel didn't reply to her questions but only stayed near Marina. Vanessa was broken, she felt betrayed by him.She shook her head, trying not to believe what she was thinking. "Yes, Vanessa. Manuel and I are back together" Marina finally revealed to her. She even hugged and pecked Manuel on the cheek.Vanessa found it hard to believe it even when it was made clear to her."Tell me this isn't true," "Manuel " she called out his name in a harsh tone. Vanessa was disappointed, it felt like her pain returned but this time, she didn't feel it on her arm but in her chest.Her heart hurt all of a sudden.Marina shi
Adrian soon returned with the doctor. Manuel moved away from Marina. "Get her out of here" Manuel declared.He soon went to Vanessa who was being attended to by the doctor."Manuel, I'll make you pay for this!" Marina said through gritted teeth. She couldn't accept the fact that she had fallen for his tricks. She was taken away forcefully by Adrian and another bodyguard.Vanessa was awake but weak, the doctor checked her pulse first, he turned to Manuel and shook his head."She is weak, Mr Adams. I'll try to stop the bleeding. However, if it doesn't stop soon we'll have to take her to the hospital to get it treated " The doctor narrated to him.Manuel nodded briefly.Vanessa looked at him, he was cruel to her a while ago, he even left her alone with an enemy. Why is he suddenly acting like he cared for her?Vanessa noticed that her hands had been uncuffed. She was able to move them. The doctor examined her bleeding wound, using his equipment to treat her. As the doctor continued his
The next morning was when Manuel woke up, when he did, he got to realize that he'd slept for so long. He also noticed Vanessa's absence in the room.He cursed his sleeping disorder for getting the best of him!. Adrian soon came to attend to his calls, Manuel asked about Vanessa. "Sir, Mrs Howells…" Adrian looked around the room. He didn't realize that Vanessa had left the mansion."She isn't here!"After Adrian made a search, they finally realized that Vanessa had left the mansion.Manuel was enraged, he angrily punched Adrian. Sending him to the floor in one hit.He picked the man up again and hit him. "Where is she?" He yelled, the other guards in the room were also frightened by his anger. It's been a long time since they've seen him in this mood.Manuel almost went crazy, he'd sent his mind to find her at the company but she wasn't there. Adrian also did some research, she wasn't at her old apartment and they didn't know any friends of hers. Vanessa had always been a reserved wom
Cia instantly locked the door and returned back inside the bedroom. She met Vanessa coming out of the drawer. Thank goodness they managed to think about putting some clothes on her if not Manuel would've found out about her.Vanessa looked worried, she heard what Manuel said about her grandmother. It wasn't advice but a threat. That he might stop the treatment and she might die.Cia needed an explanation but she didn't want to bother Vanessa who already had a lot of things to worry about."You heard what he said about Nanay, how do you go about it? Will you go and see him?" Cia was curious about her decision."No, I'm not going back there." She declared. "I'm going to the hospital to see grandma." Vanessa walked towards the bed and she grabbed her handbag. Vanessa returned with a card, she managed to secure it from his mansion.It contained the address of the hospital her grandma is in. If only she was allowed to get her grandmother out of there then she would." I think Nanay is in t

Vanessa was waiting for Manuel outside the mansion. She had been inside the car for minutes— waiting.He was yet to come, she wondered why she allowed him to attend the online meeting. Manuel promised not to spend more than five minutes and now it was taking him hours to come.She heard their voices outside the car and she came out. Manuel was with Nolan and Adrian, Cia too. As they all walked out of the mansion.Cia held a small luggage. She put it inside the car."You forgot them" she said, Cia leaned near her ears and whispered. "The sexy lingeries, you will need them to seduce him" "Come on, Cia. Don't be silly" Vanessa warned.Vanessa took Nolan from his dad. "Manuel, what took you so long?" She asked and Manuel pointed to Nolan. "He did." "He insisted on coming with us but I told him it was impossible," Manuel explained."Nolan, is that true?" She asked him.The little boy nodded. "Yes mummy… I want to go on a vacation with you""But it isn't a Vacation. It's a honeymoon" "Wh
The huge church hall was designed beautifully to match the event ongoing.The soft sounds of piano playing emanated and filled the hall. There were so many people present in a bid to witness the eternal bond of the most beautiful union in New York. Vanessa walked slowly but graciously towards the altar with a bouquet of white roses in her hand. Beside her, was Mr Adams who served as her father.Asides being her manager, Mr Adams was also like a father to her. He had trained and helped her in many ways so they had a bond.Since it was her wedding, he decided to play the role of a father to her and she was grateful for it.Vanessa looked so beautiful in her dazzling white satin wedding dress. The dress was so beautiful it fitted her perfectly, bringing out her hour-glass shape to notice. Her hair was beautifully styled by the most popular hair stylist in the city. She wore a different hairstyle today, her hair was made into a high bun and was curled underneath. A few strands were lef
Vanessa and Cia were both together inside the bathroom. While Vanessa was outside waiting for Cia to be done with the pregnancy test, she wished deeply that it was true she was pregnant.For the past few weeks, Cia had been falling sick continuously and when they went to the hospital to run some tests, it came out negative.The doctor explained that a blood test might not detect the pregnancy since it early so they decided to carry out a urine test on their own.Vanessa waited for her and it's been ten minutes and Cia hasn't come outside the bathroom."Cia.. you're taking so much time. Is anything the problem?" She asked, knocking on the door waiting impatiently for her to come out."I'm coming…" Cia yelled from inside.She spent an extra five minutes before she came out with the result. Cia took three tests so she had to wait for them to be completed before she showed them to Vanessa.Cia already knew that the results were positive but Vanessa didn't. She showed them to her…. "Ahhhh
When Vanessa rushed outside, she was expecting to see them but she didn't. Instead, other people were present and the garden was fully decorated with beautiful roses and shiny lights.It was barely evening but the place looked extremely beautiful with the designs. Vanessa already knew that it wasn't the kind of setting that they were supposed to prepare for the next scene.The next scene wasn't a proposal or wedding scene. Why did the garden look as if they had arranged it for a wedding?She questioned herself in her thoughts but she didn't say anything. She looked around and everyone watched her as she stepped in."What's going on?" Vanessa asked but didn't get a response from them. They only stared at her with excitement written on their faces.Even though Vanessa enjoyed the scene in front of her, she just wanted an explanation from someone but they didn't seem to pay attention to her anymore.She turned to Carmen and she realized that Carmen wasn't standing behind her anymore but
Manuel arrived in the place just in time. He strolled through the dark lobby, heading for the staircase because the elevator was no option. He had to climb all the way up and search each and every office for VanessaJason was quick to notice him when he heard his footsteps. He hid behind a pole and shot at Manuel who dodged the hit and took shelter under the staircase.Manuel also shot his gun but he missed Jason. The shootout continued and Vanessa heard it. She already knew that Manuel was there and all she had to do was to escape.She was at the verge of getting her hands from the cuffs. Vanessa moved her fingers slowly, rolling it through the cuffs until it got to her knuckles which was the hardest part for her.Vanessa groaned out, she was trying to hide the pain and not make any noise so she could escape but it was difficult for her. The pain was just too unbearable for her to hold back in.Tears rolled down her eyes uncontrollably as she was finally able to free one of her hands
Jason suddenly returned after Vanessa heard the loud gunshot sound. She was frightened with the way he bashed the door open when he came in.Jason pointed his gun at her. "Don't you try anything or I'll shoot you" he threatened her.Jason immediately unlocked the handcuffs and chains and he dragged Vanessa outside with him."Move it!" He demanded, pushing her forward. Vanessa did as he commanded her to and they went downstairs together.She was held captive by him. Another loud gunshot sound came again, Vanessa's whole body shivered since she didn't understand what was going on or who was attacking them.She already knows that Jason has had a lot of enemies ever since his scandals. Who could it be? She hoped that they wouldn't mistake her as his accomplice and do something to her.She really wants to survive this phase and go back to her son.Jason brought her out of the house and pushed her into his car. He cuffed her wrists again, then moved to his own side of the car and drove off.
Jason pulled Vanessa with him downstairs, her hairs were still in the shackles of his chains so it was difficult for her to escape.They reached the living room and he pushed her onto a chair. Before Vanessa would regain herself from the push, Jason already grabbed a gun from the fridge beside a couch.The apartment was shabby and small, it looked like a place that has been abandoned for months. How did he find such a place to bring her?Jason noticed the disgusted looks on her face as he pointed his gun at her. "What is it? You do not like it here?" He asked.Vanessa shook her head and didn't speak.Jason moved forward and hit her shoulder with his gun, making her feel weak. Vanessa couldn't withstand the pain so she cried out painfully."You seem disgusted, right? Well, this is what your actions caused me. You cost me my career, my life and my fame. You took everything away from me, bitch! I'll make you pay I promise" he vowed.Vanessa tried to say something but Jason slapped her ha
Vanessa had woken up but the room atmosphere surrounding her was dark. She tried to stand up and help herself see properly, only to realize that her hands were tied to a bed.It took her a while before she realized that the room wasn't dark but her eyes were covered in blindfolds which prevented her from seeing.Vanessa already knew the identity of her kidnapper. He was Jason, an obsessive actor who was also her ex boyfriend. How did she manage to get into his grip again? She remembered their last encounter. When he tried to force himself on her but she escaped from it.Jason vowed that he would get his revenge and now, it was obvious that he would. That was why he came into her life again anonymously as a sponsor.No wonder she felt suspicious and asked Mr Adams if he was sure of the sponsorship. Most movie sponsors would love to be known by the world and by that, they would be able to promote their brands but Jason insisted to be kept as an anonymous identity because he is on the r
