The whole moment ended with everyone being satisfied, Vanessa let go of her grudge against Manuel and let him reunite with his son."I'll be leaving now, son," Manuel said to Nolan, almost in a whisper. He wished he didn't have to say this to him, they've spent only a few hours together and he already got so attached to him.Nolan on the other hand didn't think that his father would leave after he made a request to his mother to let Manuel stay.Nolan turned to Manuel, removing his eyes from the game. He was so focused on it until he heard Manuel's announcement. He was so disappointed."Is mummy chasing you? Did she ask you to leave?" Nolan inquired curiously."No, not at all. Daddy has to go to work, son. It's getting late already" Manuel explained calmly to Nolan."Hmm, work? Can I come?" He asked."No, I can't let you come." Manuel instantly rebuked him. It wasn't a bad idea to take Nolan to the company, matter of fact, Manuel couldn't wait to explore his game rooms and more techno
After two weeks,In a dark police cell, a woman dressed in orange overalls was scribbling a nail on the wall, writing some words which her cellmates deemed to be strange.Since Marina was brought into the jail cell, she acted strange. Even her cellmates didn't get close to her at all.She was distant, kept mumbling strange words and almost tried to kill one of her mates too. A few days ago, when her father, the minister, visited, he announced that he had disowned her.Marina's crimes were too many, he could barely handle any of it so he had to disown her for his political ambition.He also promised to get her out only if he stood a chance of winning the forthcoming election.Marina was disappointed at her father, she didn't expect him to abandon her when she needs him the most. She was minister Brow's only child and family.Ever since her mother died, her father didn't pay any attention to her or even try to spent time with her.Marina grew up alone, raised by the staffs of the mansio
As Nolan wished, his parents picked him up using one car. As they left the school premises, Adrian arrived to take Vanessa's car away. Even though Vanessa was uncomfortable with the decision, she would do anything to make her son happy.Vanessa finally removed her eyes from Nolan, whom she continued to watch through the rearview mirror. Manuel drove slowly on the road, the moment he always wished to have was happening, and he didn't want it to end anytime soon. While Nolan was busy playing his video game in the backseat, Manuel tried engaging in a conversation with Vanessa. Hoping to get rid of the awkwardness between them. He was skeptical about it but still went on."Didn't you have something important to do at the company?" He asked,Vanessa checked the time. "There's still time. I can only sacrifice this few minutes for my son." She said,"Okay" "And, you're driving a bit slow" She pointed out.Manuel removed his gaze from her and focused on the road. "Nolan is playing his game
Both women are inside Vanessa's office, Carmen standing while Vanessa was sitting on her desk watching her.She just canceled the reports she made to the police, even when they insisted on coming to do a routine check, Vanessa explained that it was a mistake and she had exaggerated what she saw.After she was done, she decided to question Carmen. Seeing her in the office at this hour meant so many things, Vanessa didn't even know where to start questioning her. She didn't look suspicious or sound suspicious but her actions were.She shouldn't be in the office at this hour and, a newbie couldn't have acquired the keys. Unless she took Marina's keys after she was arrested. But Vanessa already made sure that Marina's keys had been retrieved from her."What are you doing in the office? And how did you get the keys?" She asked, staring at Carmen and trying to read her reactions.She could see true lies, Vanessa was a skilled actress and a script writer. She had seen a lot of scenes like th
Vanessa was dressed in a short black dress, her hair was styled in a perfectly sleek bun and she had light makeup on.She headed outside her room, and as expected, the bodyguard who came to her earlier was still waiting. This time, he wasn't the only one waiting but him and another colleague. Vanessa heaved a heavy breath… "Shall we?" The guard approached her as he asked."Sure. Let's go" Vanessa stated, sighing.They all went together, down to the VIP room of the hotel's restaurant where they claimed someone was waiting for her. Vanessa was still so curious, she couldn't think of who to call or inform Incase anything went wrong.She couldn't call Cia. They were both in another country and Manuel too.She arrived with the guards in front of a huge room, there were three other guards outside the door.The men were fully armed and looked dangerous. Obviously, it was a powerful person whom she was heading to see. But, who was he and why did he request for her?Vanessa thought about the
"Did you get any information on Vanessa's whereabouts?" Manuel asked Adrian for the umpteenth time that day. He was so worried about Vanessa, he's been disconnected from her for hours.It's been eight hours since his GPS lost track of her location. At that moment, he already knew her schedule. Vanessa was supposed to have finished her first meeting.She also promised to call him today and also speak with Nolan who had been sick and worried about his mother. Nolan also missed Vanessa so much it affected him in school.These days, she travels a lot for business and doesn't pay much attention to her son. Even though Manuel didn't also find it pleasing, he had to endure for the sake of their relationship not being as it was.He was trying to make her accept him back into her life so he had no rights to complain about her work."We didn't get any information yet. And according to my source, she hasn't left her hotel room since last night and never attended her morning meetings" Adrian expl
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
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
