Manuel had just left a meeting and was heading to his office when Adrian caught up with him. He adjusted his glasses on top the bridge of his nose, Manuel had a slight eyesight issue for the past few months. "Mr Howells, I found something on Madam" Adrian quickly announced. The hallway fell silent immediately as Manuel halted his steps and paid attention to Adrian. Manuel glared at him. "Are you serious? Tell me!" He demanded, grabbing the tablet from Adrian.For the past four years, Manuel had lived a life of regret. He had been searching for Vanessa in over three countries where he suspected that she might've gone. He never found her, even when he pleaded with Cia to reveal Vanessa's whereabouts to him she didn't. They also tried hacking through Cia's phone multiple times but couldn't, Cia was more of a powerful technologist than any they could find.Manuel read the news on the bright screen of the tablet. It was indeed Vanessa, and she looked more stunning than before. While She
Vanessa had her both eyes closed and her hands clapped together, praying for her son to get well. She was still waiting for Allen to show up, it was taking so long and she was becoming worried. Vanessa blamed herself for being careless and hurting her son.She couldn't control the tears that poured down her eyes, how is she going to face the world? Nolan was her pride and salvation. She cherished him with all her heart, she would do anything to make him recover.It took an extra thirty minutes before Vanessa heard the door open. She opened her eyes quickly and looked. As expected, it was Allen who came out. Alongside another doctor.Vanessa rushed quickly to him. "How did it go? How is Nolan doing?" She asked quickly."Calm down Vanessa. You know I'll never allow you to lose your son. He is out of danger, follow me first, you'll be allowed to see him later…"Allen took Vanessa to his car, he felt like she needed a break from inside the hospital. She needed time to calm down and relax
When Vanessa reached the ward with the nurse's assistant, she urged her to push the wheelchair fast so she could enter quickly and see the man who was with her son.On entering the room and meeting doctor Allen with Nolan, Vanessa was relieved. She thought for a moment that Manuel had discovered them and came to the hospital.The nurse also noticed the relief on Vanessa's face when she saw her son. "Nolan!""Mummy!" The little boy almost jumped down from the bed when he heard Vanessa's voice. If it wasn't for Allen who reprimanded him, he would've hurt himself."Nolan, my son.." Vanessa teared up as she was pushed to meet him. The mother and son hugged themselves passionately, Nolan was happy to finally see his mother. Since he'd woken up, Allen kept delaying him from seeing her.Doctor Allen watched them, seeing the passion in their relationship, he was almost jealous. Allen somehow felt guilty, because on the previous night when he was saving Nolan, he had almost given up and let h
It was around 6.p.m. when Vanessa came downstairs to eat dinner. The meal Nancy had prepared for lunch, she decided to postpone it till dinner and work in her room all day.Nolan was also in the dining room eating. He was being fed by Nancy. Vanessa was stunned to see her son acting so calmly and organized as he ate. Maybe a nanny was what he needed all along."Mummy…" Nolan yelled out loud when he noticed his mother descending the staircase. He tried to jump down from his seat but Nancy stopped him."Nolan, what did I teach you about table manners?" She questioned him. The little boy was humbled immediately and stayed."I'm sorry auntie…" "Nolan, how are you doing?" Vanessa asked him. He didn't respond until Nancy gestured him to respond. Vanessa thought that it was weird for her son to listen to anyone, especially a nanny."I wonder what you did to him…." She stated."Mummy, I'm trying to be a good boy and get a video game from aunty if I behave well…" Nolan blurted out.Nancy lowe
The door to Cia's apartment wasn't locked so Vanessa had access to enter. She wondered why it wasn't locked until she walked into Cia struggling to put in the newly bought groceries into her freezer.When Cia heard the delicate but loud footsteps approaching her living room, she immediately tried to store the goods in her hands. She was unable to do it until Vanessa walked into her and she let everything fall from her hand."Vanessa!" Cia screamed, running to hug her.Vanessa got warmly, the hug lasted for a long while as they both didn't want to break it off. Cia's eyes were filled with tears, she felt disappointed for not being with her friend all these years, and at the same time they were tears of joy Because she was so happy about meeting her again.The hug was finally broken by Vanessa. She looked and examined her friend carefully. "You look good, Cia. Quite a long while.. isn't it?" Vanessa said,Cia smiled. "You look better, you're so beautiful Vanessa. Oh my goodness, I can
After Vanessa come outside the bedroom, Cia already made disposal of the meal into the kitchen sink.Cia stared at the burnt meal in disappointment, she had plans of eating home cooked meal for dinner, and right now it all went down the drain. Cia's face crumpled into a long frown as she returned to the living room and plopped lazily on the couch. "So long for a good home made meal" she said…Vanessa didn't know what to tell her, she thought for a while before making her a proposal. "How about I treat you for dinner? I know a good restaurant " she declared.Cia only glared at her blankly and didn't speak. Vanessa moved to sit near her. "What is it? You don't want that?" She asked and Cia nodded. "I was aiming at a home made meal. I'm tired of always eating out" she complained to Vanessa.Vanessa wanted to say something when a phone call came on and she picked. She only spoke briefly with the caller after taking excuses from Cia."So, who was that?" Cia asked."That isn't important… w
After eating dinner, Nolan pulled Cia with him upstairs to check something in his computer system. He had long tried to run some settings on his computer but he couldn't.He hasn't found a more capable person to help him, and when Vanessa told him about Cia, Nolan was hopeful that she would do it.When they got to his room, Cia wasn't surprised when she saw the beautifully arranged game place at the corner, Vanessa really made sure that her son was comfortable.She already heard from Vanessa that Nolan liked video games and anything that has to do with technology. "So, what should I help you with?" Cia asked Nolan."Please sit" the little boy pointed to a chair and asked her to make herself comfortable in it while he goes to get his book for jotting her teachings.She watched the little boy return and he turned on and set up his mini computer, connecting it to the maxi screen. After Nolan switched the screen to what he needed her help for, he invited her to come sit. Cia's eyes wid
Vanessa had just gotten off the phone with Mr Adams who requested that she come to the fox entertainment studio that day.She had already spent a week in the city, fortunately, she hadn't seen Manuel cause she barely went out.Vanessa knew that she couldn't be hiding from him forever. Nolan had to start school in a week time, she shouldn't hinder him from it for long, the fear of coming across Manuel gripped her.Vanessa moved away from the bed and went to the wardrobe to pick up the dress she was going to wear to the studio. She also thought about the movie premiere event she was supposed to attend that evening.Marina was having her new movie released in a few days, and Vanessa was invited as a VIP guest by the studio. They invited her as a famous script writer, V. Secrets. Who never revealed herself to the public.After leaving the country, Vanessa decided to venture into script writing and she became famous, with an anonymous identity due to Cia's help.The movie which Marina had

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
