"Third-rate actress Vanessa Sanchez Is involved in a sexual scandal" The bright screen of her mobile phone Shone directly at her face as she read the news headlines inwardly. Vanessa scrolled the pictures through, reading more news about herself as the blogs weren't backing down in spreading the rumors about last night. Vanessa frowned her face in disappointment. If it was really rumors then she would've gotten over it already and also know how to defend herself. However, it wasn't. She was right in bed with a man sleeping beside her. His bold back was facing her. He had a golden brown skin which flourished as the sun rays escaped into the room and showed directly on his body which was halfway wrapped inside the duvet. He was a stranger, yet his cologne was dominating and familiar to her. As if she knew him. The photos on her screen were from last night's hangout with her colleagues and some sponsors in the industry. She was supposed to find herself a rich sponsor from last night'
When Vanessa reached the lobby of the hotel, reporters suddenly flocked around her. "Miss Sanchez, are the rumors true? Do you have a new sponsor? We heard that he's an old man?" A reporter quickly threw those questions at her. Vanessa struggled to walk through the crowd as they were creating a scene."Is he your sugar daddy? Is it true that you sleep with men for money to sponsor your dying career?" Another one threw a question at her. Vanessa's face turned red as anger boiled inside of her. She clenched her fist tightly as she stopped to respond to their questions."I guess my senior colleagues feel threatened by me. That's why they're spreading these horrible rumors about me, "she stated. "We do not understand you, miss Sanchez? Is anyone after you?" The reporter asked again."Who spread rumors about you?" "The same person who paid you all to question me." She replied. Vanessa moved forward and approached the door.As she pushed the door open, she felt a cold liquid splash all o
"Madam, now that I have clarified to you this issue, it's best that you leave the hotel before I have you arrested." Manual threatened her. The woman was embarrassed by the whole situation. Truly, she had accused Vanessa wrongly because she was paid to. She didn't want to get arrested, so she left quickly.As soon as the woman left, Manuel turned to the reporters. "You all should get your facts right about Vanessa. And if any of this news goes viral, I'll make sure to ruin your careers. The companies you work for wouldn't be left out." He threatened." Each and every one if you," he added. upon hearing that, the reporters quickly left the scene, they didn't want to risk their career. They all knew who CEO Emmanuel Howells was, he is cold-hearted, ruthless and powerful. From a highly influential family in the city. They dare not disobey his orders. Vanessa was loosened from his grip and she wanted to leave. Miranda was so angry that her plans were ruined. She turned to Vanessa and tr
By the time Vanessa woke up, it was evening time. She looked around the bedroom that she was in. A huge luxuriously designed master bedroom. She jerked up from the bed immediately. "Where am I?" She asked herself rhetorically as she walked towards the door. Vanessa was scared that she might've been kidnapped by someone. But at the same time she doubted that. A kidnapper wouldn't bring his victim to such a luxurious mansion. She walked stealthily through the hallways of the mansion that seemed utterly familiar to her. Except that some things were changed in it. She finally located the living room. "Where do you think you're going, Miss Sanchez?" She heard a familiar voice speak to her. Vanessa was dumbstruck as she saw who he was. She didn't expect it to be him who brought her here. "Did you save me from those women?" She asked him. Manuel walked down the staircase and he approached her. She was Standing by the door— holding the knob and about to open it."Yes, I did. " He answered
Vanessa struggled to break the kiss but he seemed to hold her with an iron fist. After he was done, he finally let go. Manuel wanted to speak, only to receive a slap from Vanessa. "How dare you kiss me?" She yelled at him. She wanted to slap him again and he held her. A nurse suddenly appeared in the scene. "The patient in ward 6" she said briefly. She knew who Vanessa was so she had to inform her about the health of her grandma.By the time Vanessa got there, she met her grandma in a critical state. Vanessa broke down instantly, crying. She couldn't stand seeing Nanay suffer so much because of her incompetence."Granny, please stay with me. I promise to get the money today. I'll make sure you don't die, please hang on" she pleaded. Vanessa couldn't control the tears that poured down her eyes. While she was inside the ward lamenting her pains, Manuel was outside watching her. Adrian soon arrived."Have you done what I asked?" He asked Adrian and he responded."Yes, boss. Here are
VANESSAI am standing in front of the civil affairs bureau, clenching tightly onto my purse. I am dressed in a short beautiful white satin wedding dress, with long chiffon hands. Surprisingly, it fit me perfectly, outlining my hourglass shape. An ideal wedding dress, chosen by Manuel. I felt uncomfortable in the dress, not because of anything but it got me wondering how he managed to get my exact size of dress. In the past, Manuel barely showed me any attention or care about me. This is his first time offering to pick my dress. I hadn't planned on accepting to wear what he chose for me, but I had no choice but to accept it. Manuel was persistent, and his threats over me because he had my grandmother made me come here to get married to him again. I looked at the time on my mobile phone, it was thirty minutes past eight a.m., Manuel was late for our wedding again. I wasn't surprised because this is how he normally acts. It made me recall how he missed our engagement party and our wed
VANESSAIt barely took thirty minutes for the marriage registration to be done. From what I noticed, it seems like Manuel has already had everything planned out. Even the time when the registrar arrived. He knew that he wouldn't come by 8 a.m. but 9. And he purposely made me wait for him for one hour. Is he trying to test my patience?The marriage certificate was handed to us and we took a few pictures as evidence. "Here" Manuel handed me a copy of the certificate and he gave one to Adrian to keep for him.I stood up to leave the office, Manuel held and pulled me back."Where do you think you're going, Vanessa?" He questioned me. His cold gaze still bothered me so I tried not to keep eye contact with him."I have to go to the studio. I have a shoot today by 10 a.m. and it's almost time" I explained to him. I didn't allow him to say anything and j just left the office with my certificate in my hands.I was heading outside the office whenManuel suddenly appeared and grabbed me."What

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
