Alessandro yawned as he rose from the bed. He frowned when he saw her curled on his bed. His mind flashed back to last night and he smiled.
They had argued about who would sleep in the room and she succeeded in entering his room eventually, they both had to sleep on the same bed though she had used a lot of his clothes to demarcate their spaces.He went to the toilet, came out after a minute, took a towel and went to the gym.Isabella woke up with a frown, she checked the time and grumbled.“Why didn't those worthless maids wake me up?” She ranted, opened her eyes clearly, looking around and she opened her eyes wide with shock.“Damn"She got down from the bed and walked downstairs, running her hand through her rough hair. She took the remote and switched on the television and was amused with the news.“Damn that old fool, he thinks he’s smart" She cursed and sat down.Alessandro entered the sitting room, swearing as he used his towel to clean his face, she stared at him for some seconds and he snapped his fingers. "Wow, he's trying to get more followers with your escapade, apologizing publicly and promising to improve security before his next swearing-in is a great idea right? He must be so proud of you, you're doing nothing yet helping him the most" He teased and she hissed."Give me your phone, he needs a good talking to" She fumed, grabbing the remote tightly and he shook his head."I could give you an entirely different untraceable number but mine is a big NO""Yea, sure anything” She replied and he went to his room, brought out his laptop and began typing. She waited for a few minutes and he handed it back to her."I've created an anonymous account, use it to chat with him, you guys might have a little father daughter talk and he’ll send an entourage to haul you off” He instructed, brought out his phone and dialed the President's number.After a few rings, the President's secretary answered.“I would like to speak with his Excellency please" He informed me and the phone was given to Roberto.Her face turned pale white when she heard what he said, she was shivering and shaking her head, pleading silently."Good morning sir... ..I saw the news, sir... I'm also on the lookout for her... Shall I report for duty today... Till she's found, sir?... Okay, sir.. I'll also try to check a few areas... Thank you, sir" He concluded and switched off the phone."For how long do you plan to stay here? Wouldn't your job get affected?" He requested with concern in his voice."I don't give a fuck, till he's ready to grant my requests, I won't leave" She replied with a shrug."Look, you can't keep hiding here for long. Soon, they'll find you, my jammers can't keep blocking them forever. I would have to take another job and you should stop doing this, straighten things out with him" He advised genuinely."Your lecture is so long and boring. What would we have for breakfast? I want something good” she questioned with a yawn and he groaned."I'll order Truffles if it pleases her Excellency. Or should I order chefs from Brant’s palace to come cook for you?” He mocked with a curt bow and she sneered."Yes, that'll be better""I don't have any other clothes which you would wear except for the stripper's own and I can't order new clothes for you" He declared."Hmm. I know you can't afford it so I'll pay""Stop being foolish, I'm under surveillance now, if expensive female dresses should be delivered to my house, it'll raise lots of suspicions and you’re not with your phone or credit card” He explained and she nodded thoughtfully."So I'll stick to wearing your clothes for now, it’s so not my thing” She puffed."Don't give me that face, I feel regretful for bringing you to my house. I had a terrible night, a terrible day and now I'm about to have another, can this week get any better?” He groaned with a frown.He went upstairs, took his bath and came back, putting on a khaki and fitted T-shirt.“So what have you been up to?" He asked, sitting on the couch, beside her and their arms touched. They stared at each other for a few seconds and she shifted slightly."He isn't ready to comply with my rules" She let out."What exactly do you want?”"I want my social media account back, I wanna return to the USA. I wanna continue living my life far away from this place” She replied sadly and he felt pity for her."Didn't you grow up here? Why don't you wanna stay here? You're living your dream life, you're engaged, have maids at your sides, what else do you want?" He demanded."ENGAGED?! What do you mean, engaged to who? Wait, Andrea? Do you think I’m engaged to him? Damn I hate, I hate him so much" She disclosed, tears I'm her eyes."I'm so sorry, I didn't know you weren't aware”He apologized and she turned to face him."Aware? Nobody told me anything about getting engaged. How did you know?" She requested, her voice shaky."When I was offered a job, Rossi, my boss told me you were engaged""If making me get married to his puppet is what he wants, then I'll make him regret it. I’ll show him what I’m made off” She said with determination, cleaning her tears."I'll take my bath now" She let out and went to his room. She smirked when she entered the bathroom."Not so poor after all" She thought as she checked his soaps and pastes, she saw a new pack of brushes, took one and added mint-flavored paste.After brushing her teeth, she removed her cloth and stepped inside the bathtub. She shivered slightly at the thought that Alessandro had been there a few minutes ago."What is wrong with me, I should be angry at him for using the bathtub before me" She thought as she took the soap and rubbed it all over her body, playing with the bubbles for some minutes before taking another large brush for herself.She drained the water and filled it with a clean one. She smiled when she took his towel and wrapped it around her body. A nasty thought came to her head and she smirked.She stared at herself in the mirror because it barely covered her ass and she giggled as water dripped from her hair. She walked to the sitting room.He was holding coffee and when he sighted her, it slipped from his hand, he temporarily forgot about everything as he stared at her dazzling skin, he walked towards her, spellbound.She looked as sexy as fuck and if it was an invitation, he would accept it gladly. He stared at her full breasts rising and falling with each breath she took. His hand rose to her shoulders and he pushed her wet hair a bit from her face.He couldn't control his mind as all he could see was her sexy body. She looked at him with a seductive look and he shivered when she touched his arm. He cursed inwardly, knowing that his rising dick would be evident soon.She moved her hand to his chest, using a finger to trace lines and he sucked in a breath, regaining himself, he held her hand.“What's wrong princess, do you need anything?" He asked with a sly smile and hidden words in his questions, his brows raised and she frowned."Yes, I need cream and some undies or I'll have to keep walking around naked like I did yesterday, I'm sure you would want that a lot but I wouldn’t give you that pleasure” she answered and he grinned boyishly."That isn't a problem, even if you decide to walk around the house naked for the next two months believe me you're very safe, I'm not the type of guy to go crazy after seeing a girls nakedness, I'm so used to seeing lots of naked girls sometimes I wish I could even react to some girls. Your nakedness isn’t moving me one bit” he whispered and she tried to hit him and he held her hand."Did I do anything wrong? I just told you about my body condition. It's up to you to step up on your game, take good care of your body and you might just become sexy one day.She was left behind, grappling the towel and cursing his broad back with anger written all over her.Alessandro walked upstairs, covering his boner and trying so hard not to look back. Furiously, Isabella tied the towel firmly and walked after him. She wished she could give him a knock, kick him, or do anything to make him feel pain.He opened the door to his room, walked to his closet and brought out a long top, a khaki and handed it to her. "Here, I don't need it anymore, you make use of them” He said and walked out. She changed into the top and dropped the khaki on his bed.She walked down and saw him bringing in pasta, she smiled and sat on the chair. He turned to look at, frowned and gave her the food."Why aren't you wearing the khaki?""It's too long, kinda old and cheap" She responded with a sneer. "That top actually costs £40,000, do you think it's cheap?""Eww" She complained and he stared at her with a smirk, challenging her to pull it off."Why can't you take it off, I bet you can't? You think it’s cheap but you’re very comfortable in it” He inquired sweetly. "I'm not
She put her hand on his chest, raising his shirt and they broke the kiss. He threw the shirt over his head and resumed kissing her. His hands moved between her thighs as she parted her legs slightly. He let out a guttural sound as she moved to his chest, trailing kisses and teasing his small nipples, she sucked them lightly and kissed his lips, letting out a groan. Her hand caressed his body and moved towards his abdomen, she slipped it into his briefs and he held her hand abruptly. “That's enough already" He whispered, panting and she looked at him with surprise, her eyes glistening with tears. "What’s wrong? You don't find me attractive? You’re horny already” She whispered back. "We can't do this, it isn't right and we might end up regretting it" He answered, pushing her away slightly. He got up, took his top and headed to his room. “Why do I feel hurt and rejected?" She inquired as she straightened her clothes and sat on the couch, feeling ashamed, embarrassed and silly for
''Where the fuck is she?!” The president yelled, angrily hitting a vase. They had been trying to find her for days and had been failing. ''Sir, it seems like she has someone helping her" The chief of security suggested. "She has just two friends and they're too dumb to be able to help her pull something as huge as this. She doesn't have any other friends. I've put them under watch and they're completely clueless about her whereabouts. Her guy manager is being watched throughout the day and he's also useless. She's too proud to have another friend who isn't popular" Roberto replied. "What about her new guard, I'm having a bad feeling about him, there's just something about him that give me chills" Andrea confessed. "You're thinking that way because he's handsome. She hates him more than she hates me, and they don't go along together, I doubt if she'll ask him for help. But if it makes you happy, I'll tell my guards to watch him" Roberto replied and Andrea nodded. Andrea couldn't te
"You can come out now, they're gone" Alessandro , 20 minutes after they had left. "Whoa, I was so scared" She breathed out as he helped her up. "Yea, and you had to scream. If you were caught, my life wouldn't matter because I'd be dead, so next time you wanna run away from your father, it's either you get someone else to help you or you zip your mouth. What the hell did you tell the president that made him send guards to my house? I'll have my laptop back now, thank you and you're lucky those fools didn't check for fingerprints or set up cameras here" He lashed out, collecting the laptop furiously."Why are you making a fuss? We weren't caught, shouldn't we be happy? I don’t get why you’re stressed” She quizzed. "So what assurance do you have that I wouldn't be killed when I get caught? I'm just a young lad who wants to enjoy his job, fuck bitches and have a family when I'm ready. But you miss rude, you're trying to cut my dreams short, why? Just because you're childish and stupid
"Good morning sleepy witch" Alessandro said gently and smiled as Isabelle sat up, stretching lazily. "Hmm.. I smell lots of things" Isabelle observed and be removed strands of her hair from her face. "I made breakfast for you" He muttered with a sheepish smile. His phone rang and he sprang up to take it, he answered the call and walked out. "Good morning Sir.... No sir, I haven't found anything... Work with the president securities?! Sir I'd like to work alone because I don't work well with others and it'll be hard to work with them... Okay Sir, I understand” He concluded and brought the phone back to the room. "Who was that?" She demanded immediately he entered. "A business associate, what do you wanna do today?" "Hmm.. Have my bath, have a long round of sex and eat lots of food" She replied sultrily and he sighed. "Wouldn't you go to your studio? You must have lots of endorsement deals and other offers" He suggested and she shrugged. "I don't care about them for now" "I have
Isabelle woke up, she looked around and saw a dress on the dresser. “What's that for?" She demanded with a yawn. "Miss your previous appointments have been rescheduled and in the next 30 minutes, you have a meeting with Nikky Wears, you have an interview with Celebrity Lifestyle and a few others today" The maid read out. "Cancel all my appointments except for Nikky wears which you'll reschedule in the next two hours, bring out a bikini and take my breakfast to the pool" She ordered as she stood up. "Miss, the president..." The maid stuttered. "Just do as I say. If the president has a problem then he should confront me!" Isabelle cut off and entered the bathroom. She had her bath and walked out in a robe with a towel wrapped around her hair. She changed into the bikini, took her sunshades, wore another short robe, and walked out. Alessandro's What was taking her so long, it has been an hour and a few minutes since I got here, what is wrong with her? Is she fine? The president
"That's enough princess, let's go home" Alessandro announced as he held Isabelle hand and was about to drag her but she pulled her hand back roughly. "I’m not done yet, I still wanna have fun" She replied, going back to the guy she was dancing with and the look of pleasure on the guy's face angered Alessandro. "You've had enough fun, you've gotten yourself drunk, you've danced, what else do you want?!" He demanded furiously and she placed her hand on his shoulder. "The type that would make me scream, the air filled with the smell of raunchy sex and waking up in the arms of someone the next day. Is it too much to ask for?" She whispered in his ear and he sucked in his breathe. He searched around for Aurora and Elena and decided that they had left when he couldn't find them.“Nice, they left her behind. She's such a dummy" He thought and was taken aback when he saw a guy angle Isabelle's head for a kiss. Furiously, he pushed the guy and drew Isabelle to himself. "So masculine" She
"Take me to the studio" Isabelle instructed immediately she entered the car and Alessandro checked the schedule "Sorry ma'am, you have an interview with celebrity lifestyle in the next 8 minutes, there's no time to go to the studio" Alessandro replied and started driving to the TV station. Isabelle wanted to yell at him, pull his hair, punch him and hurt him but she just kept her cool, sitting silently and making a reminder to confront her father at home. He parked the car and she alighted, heading inside. The interviewer, Mia was very happy when she saw Isabelle. Cheers rang in as Andrea walked inside. The producer instructed everyone to take their places as the show began. The show was being recorded live and Roberto had swtiched on the television, wishing Isabelle doesn't say anything that'll tarnish his image. "Hello Andrea, Hello Isabelle, it’s nice to see you guys together” Mia called out with a smile and both replied. Andrea glanced at Isabelle who didn't spare him a glanc
“Stop it!” Annabella yelled, stepping inside the sitting room, she was shocked at the display in from of her. They were startled when they heard her voice.They stared at her with puppy eyes before bursting into tears, making her shocked, attracting a groan from their mother.“Urgh! What’s wrong now honeys, mom wants to sleep could you please stop?” Isabelle yelled tiredly and they intensified their tears, and Isabelle rose from the bed, grumbling as she walked down, making Annabella giggled as she tiptoed away.She chuckled, wondering what Isabelle would do if she found the mess they had done.“What the hell?! Alessandro your kids would kill me with excess work! What is all these! Who started these mess?!” Isabelle yelled and the two, three years old kids burst into laughter, using the flour to rub their faces.Bread flour had been poured on the floor, mixed with salt and nutmeg.“How did you get all these? Who gave you?. How were you able to enter the pantry? where’s the maid?” She
Two days before the election Isabelle stood in front of the court, smiling triumphantly. Her father had been given a jail term of 18 years while Ann and Mario were sentenced to life imprisonments.The court was filled to the brim with ministers, political officials and reporters, Ann was crying profusely, refusing to be taken.Roberto stood still, tears pouring out of his eyes as he maintained eye contact with Isabelle.Getting them to the court the first time wasn’t easy as they as Roberto tried to leave the country but was denied access.Ann took refuge with mafians, she had hidden with them and it took lots of tracking and plans before they could capture her, she had tried to escape several times and the judge had ordered for her to be put in prison till the court case were over.Mario had a defiant look on his face, he wasn’t remorse but he had a sad look on his face, he looked around, watching as reporters captured his face.His hand was handcuffed and he bowed his head, sighin
“Have you seen the news? Isabelle is going crazy, you need to stop her!” Ann burst into Roberto’s office, ranting.“What do you want here? I ordered you to leave this place!” Roberto thundered and Ann burst into laughter.“Cut me some slacks, do you expect me to leave after working relentlessly? I’m going to finish what I started...” Ann was interrupted with a knock and Roberto’s new secretary walked inside.“Sir, this is from the magistrate court” He explained and Roberto snatched the paper, reading it immediately.The paper fell out of his hands and he buried his hands in his hair, sighing sadly.“Do you need anything sir?”“No, just leave” He replied.“This is total madness! How would she sue us to court? Does she know the amount she has because of the embezzled money? She’s an ungrateful daughter, you did all your best so she could live the life of a princess yet she wants to throw all that away” Ann ranted.“Get out! What the hell do you want!” Roberto thundered.“I want my posit
“Welcome Isabelle, it’s lovely to have you back” Mia, the host of the show toned.“It’s nice to be back” Isabelle smiled, Alessandro sat beside her, having a plain look on his face.“I’m personally curious, why did you go offline suddenly, I’m like your biggest fan and I was sad you disappeared..”“Oh Mia, I was left with no option but now I’ll be more caring and inform my fans before disappearing” Isabelle giggled.“Your posts for the last few months has been alarming especially the one where you disclosed secrets about our top politicians, including your father... Are those things true?” Mia demanded.“What would I gain if I post lies about my own father? All I’ve posted is nothing but the truth, the evidence is staring at our faces, look at the pictures attached” Isabelle replied.“But what has your father done to make you go against him, not everybody can do what you’re doing” “He has done a thousand bad to me the way he has ruined lives of people. The money he has embezzled and
Isabelle’s POV I can’t believe mom was killed, noo. The attack looked so real and was meant for dad. Images of my mom’s pale face came to my head and I screamed, scattering my hair.All these years, the demon who killed mom had been living with us. Mom why? Why did you have to die for him?.Is dad aware? Does he know that his mistress killed his wife? I’ll never let you get away Ann, I’ll ruin your life..“Isabelle please open the door” Alessandro pleaded and I sobbed gently.“Just go away” I replied.“I can’t leave, your pains are mine also, I can feel your hurt” He replied and I placed my back on the door, sobbing loudly.“Just let me be for today” I pleaded and he sighed.“If that’s what you want” He replied and walked away.“Why are people so desperate for power? Taking the lives of others meant nothing to them... Mom... All these while I’ve been correct, I knew that your death wasn’t accidental but the man you married paid no attention, all he was concerned about was becoming t
Two weeks laterIsabelle sat at a corner, smiling sadly and lost in her thoughts, she wasn’t aware of Alessandro’s presence and he shook his head.“Down to earth my love” He teased and she smiled.“What is bothering your mind?” “I’m just worried about Annabella, I wish I could see her... it’s all my fault her life is messed up” Isabelle muttered and He drew her closer.“I’m sure she’s fine and she misses you too wherever she is, give her some time... when she’s fully well, she’ll try to talk to you” Alessandro informed.“Where’s Darrell? He’s been working very hard lately, I hope he doesn’t break down” Isabelle confessed.“Can you do me a Favour? Forget about all the things going on, just focus on you and I alone... I miss us, I wish this was all over...” He lamented and she kissed his lips gently.“I feel the same way too, my body aches for your touch and I’m hungry for you but we have to solve this problem first” She replied.“We can solve this problem... just forget about everythi
“Ann? What have I done to you to deserve all these?” Isabelle demanded with tears and Ann cackled, enjoying the way Isabelle mourned.“You’ve done quite a lot, I don’t know where I’ll start from... is it from the insults I’ve received from you to the excessive care you get from your father or to the tasks of clearing scandals which you’ve created?” Ann retorted.“How is Annabella?” “My daughter is battling with her life all because of you, if anything happens to her, I’ll send your corpse to your father” Ann threatened and Alessandro growled, struggling to lose the ropes.“Oh, the love doll. I can’t get what you see in her, she’s a rude spoilt piece of trash yet you’ve endangered your life countless times because of her, love is indeed blind... And oh, you have more friends now, I hope these one wouldn’t be after your position like the rest” Ann mocked.“You’re shameless huh, having an affair with a married man... You should always bury your head in shame” Alessandro jested and Ann b

“I’ve noticed some of our files have been touched, especially those in the basement... I’m sending them to the boys for fingerprints” Collin explained.“Hmm... has anybody entered this house apart from the cleaners and lawyers? I need them to start shredding the papers, one evidence about tax evasion and laundering could ship everybody’s ass to jail” Mario warned.“Do you wish to interfere in the ongoing beef?”“No, just let them be, I want you to focus on moving the rest of the money out, I’ll be granting bail to a few criminals, use them in exporting the money” Mario instructed.“Sir, a few guys have gone missing, mostly part of those whom we used for the last operation...” A guard disclosed with fear.“Get their families or closest relatives” Collin ordered.“That’s the problem, we can’t find anybody...” “This has to do with Ann, I’m tired of her surprises, capture her personal assistant, kill her immediately!” Mario ordered and the guards filed out.“Still no news about Isabelle?
