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
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.
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
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
