After a few days,Manuel was finally discharged from the hospital. He had fully recovered physically but not mentally since he still thinks that Marina is his wife.Vanessa heard about his discharge. It hurt her that she wasn't in the hospital with him when he got discharged. She couldn't help but cry, she was inside the bathroom, she had morning sickness and had been vomiting since she woke up.It was so uncomfortable for her. She was pregnant again but Manuel wasn't here to help her. He was alive and they were in the same house, but he didn't remember having anything to do with her. Vanessa cried her eyes out until she left the bathroom. She was beginning to feel cold.She laid down on her bed and covered herself with the huge duvet. Trying to subside the cold but it didn't work. What she was feeling was an internal cold that put her whole body system in discomfort."Vanessa?" Cia called as she entered the room. Vanessa jerked up quickly. She couldn't allow Cia to know that she was
When Vanessa woke up in bed, she noticed Lisa and Cia sitting beside her. She looked at them and they both had cold looks on their faces.She felt uncomfortable. Vanessa tried to remember what happened to put her in a sick bed in the hospital. She was sharp to recall the issue of her grandmother and doctor Allen announcing the death of her grandmother to her.Vanessa was still in shock, even when she woke up, she didn't say anything to her friends. They were looking after her, worried about her health."You are awake" Lisa was the first person to notice."Vanessa, what the hell is wrong with you? Just this morning, you were sick and I asked you to stay at home. How did you sneak out without me noticing?" Cia scolded Vanessa at first.Even though she was supposed to be sympathizing with her friend for losing her beloved grandmother, Cia still had to scold her.Vanessa glared at the both of them, she was speechless, she didn't even know what to say or how to react.All she wanted to con
When she arrived at the mansion with Cia, Vanessa heaved a heavy sigh. She was having mixed feelings about going inside.Even though Manuel didn't come to see her at the hospital.Vanessa forgave him. She held no grudges against him and all she wished now was to get comforted by him.Vanessa went inside the mansion with her fist clenched tightly unto her dress. She was scared inside of her, she didn't want to face the Manuel that doesn't remember her but the Manuel who loved and cherished her.The living room was a few steps away from Vanessa, she hadn't even reached there when she began to hear the voices of Marina and Manuel, and it seemed like they were together.Her legs froze on that spot, she didn't want to go further. It hurt her to listen to them, what more will it do to her if she saw them? Vanessa held her beating chest tight.She has to ignore them if she wants her child's safety. She just had to!. Vanessa turned deaf ears as she walked into the living room. She met that Ma
Vanessa's only request to sign the divorce documents was for Manuel to rent her an apartment. He eventually did that but she left without signing the divorce papers. When he saw the blank signature in the documents, he realized that he had been tricked. However, Marina asked him not to worry since she had already left.For a moment, Manuel felt remorseful about his actions. He was sure that he didn't recall who Vanessa was. Why did he now regret everything he's done?After leaving Marina in his bedroom, he went to his study with Adrian."Where is Vanessa now?" He asked Adrian."Mrs Howells…." Adrian said slowly and stopped to correct himself. "Vanessa has settled in the apartment you rented for her" he revealed.Manuel didn't even know the place, but it wasn't a hard thing for him to find out. According to Vanessa, she didn't want him to know the address of the place he was going to rent a home for her.He just sent her the money to rent it. Even though Manuel wanted to obey her requ
Vanessa has spent up to two weeks in the apartment, she was beginning to get used to everything. With Cia who'd come to visit her sometimes and Allen, she didn't have to worry about anything.Sometimes, she gets reminded of her situation and misses Manuel. But Vanessa didn't think of it much, she would eventually get used to it in time.It was a cold evening, she had just finished warming a hot pot of soup she had prepared earlier that day. The more she got into her pregnancy, the more Vanessa's tastes in food changed.Now, she loves eating soup and drinking tea more than ever. The morning sickness was killing her. She could barely hang on sometimes when it started.Vanessa finished drinking the last spoon of soup and she went to the kitchen to do the dishes. As she washed the plates, she looked at her tiny baby bump. It wasn't that visible, one would barely know that she was pregnant.Vanessa has the feeling of a mother inside her again. She remembered when the doctor told her that s
Vanessa was inside her apartment, she had just finished to conclude her plans for her business. She finally decided to start a flower business.The area she lived in was damp and not even a single flower grew there. She learned how to grow flowers from her grandmother so she was hoping to invest in that, it would also serve as a memory for her grandmother.As Vanessa stood up to keep the jotter, she heard a brief knock on the door. She hesitated for a while before she went to open it. She wasn't expecting anyone.Doctor Allen already told her that he wasn't coming that night so she wondered if it was Cia. Cia always informs her before she comes, and it was a Wednesday, she was always busy on Wednesdays.Vanessa decided to stop speculating and just open the door to find out who it was. She placed her hand on the knob and turned it open.Surprisingly, it was the person that she least expected to see in her apartment. The devil incarnate herself, Marina Brown.Vanessa was so angry, and f
Inside the car as Manuel drove Vanessa to the hospital, he couldn't help but panic when he saw her bleeding from underneath her thighs. It made him dear that Vanessa might lose the baby, which was probably his.He felt so much pain in his heart to see her suffer.Why did he forget about this woman? How important was she to him when they were together? Several questions popped into Manuel's head.They soon arrived at the hospital and Manuel instantly ordered for a stretcher to be brought to place Vanessa on.She was immediately taken into the hospital and a ward was assigned to her.Manuel waited outside, he didn't want to be there, he wanted to go inside with them. He was angry and nervous at the same time. Manuel rubbed his temples, the doctor wasn't there yet.He turned to one of the nurses who was about to go inside. "Where the hell is the doctor?" He asked the fragile looking nurse, she was so scared of the tone he used in talking to her."Uhmm.. Mr, please calm down. The doctor
Doctor Allen fed Vanessa her meal, she needed to eat before her next medication and also to keep her baby healthy.He still couldn't understand why Vanessa never spoke about Manuel exiting the hospital. Maybe she was slowly getting over him. Allen was happy, At least he got a chance now. Vanessa coughed lightly after eating a spoonful of the meal, Allen gave her water to drink. "Sorry" he apologized to her. "it isn't your fault, Allen" Allen noticed how Vanessa's mood was, he thought of what to say to cheer her up."At least the baby is fine. Can you tell me what happened? Who attacked you?" Allen asked Vanessa.He knew clearly that she didn't plan on answering his questions. Vanessa remained silent, she just took the spoon again and wanted to eat. Her cut on her hand hurt and she couldn't eat properly.Allen collected the spoon and resumed feeding her. Vanessa was filled but she didn't want to stop eating, it'll only make her think about Manuel again or Allen's questions.Vanessa s

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
