It had been 1 week already, Isabelle and Alessandro had been in coma since, Brianna made it her job to check up on them everyday.She walked inside with Thomas who was talking to the doctor. She sighed sadly, touching Isabelle’s hand.“I wish you would wake up soon, I miss the radiant smile on your face..” She mumbled, kneeling close to Isabelle.“I want them to be off record, make sure no maid comes inside this room and the nurses who visit should never disclose who they are to anyone” Thomas instructed and the doctor nodded before leaving.“Why didn’t you inform the president? Why are you telling the doctor to keep their case off record, I’m sure the president must be worried and trying his best to find her..” Brianna voiced.“Now is a very crucial time, news has leaked to the public that Isabelle and Alessandro are missing, everyone is trying to find both her father and his rivals are trying to find her, I’m still trying to figure out why they were floating” He replied.“The media
Darrell entered inside, instinctively glancing around, his gaze softened when he saw Alessandro.“You’re alive man!” He yelled, going to hug Alessandro who grinned.“It’s nice to see you again” Alessandro replied.“Where the hell have you been? What happened to you? I have your phones, been trying to track you for a long time” Darrell disclosed, bringing out their phones and Isabelle beamed.“Wow, thank you so much” She replied ecstatically, collecting the phone.“You the best man, thanks a lot” Alessandro replied.“So.... why are you here and what are you gonna do about the news circulating, some rumors says you’re dead, some said you’ve been hiding, so many stories you wouldn’t wanna hear” Darrell disclosed and they sighed.“When we were coming back from the movie premiere, we were kidnapped, we escaped through an old friend. They chased us and having no other place, we jumped into a valley. We were floating when they rescued us” Alessandro summarized.“Do you have any clue of what
“You’re such a fool! How could you let her escape for the second time?” Mario thundered.“I’m sorry sir, before we could get inside the hospital they had left..” Liam apologized and Mario slapped his cheek.“I’m not paying to do so you can fail, I want Isabelle in my custody this week! Why is Ann still alive?” Mario demanded hotly.“Sir, tracking her has been very hard and she stays with the president. It’s hard to abduct her..”“What about those two kids and their father?” Mario demanded, thinking deeply.“The man is nowhere to be found but I have a gun that those kids are staying with her, she has been extra careful lately, I’m afraid she might be planning something huge..”“Shut the hell up! What do you mean by something huge? I want you to find out what that plan is and also destroy the plan” Mario instructed and Liam nodded, bowing his head.“What about Alessandro? Do you have a clue about his family?” “They disappeared yesterday, I’ve been trying to track his sister but she’s i
“Do you know her location?” Ann demanded and Elena shook her head.“I can see you’ve been lazy and haven’t been doing anything lately..”“You know I’ve been busy with blogs, trying to spread different news about Isabelle... I’m already planning on hinting about her affair with Alessandro” Elena replied and Ann raised her head, confused.“Her guard? I thought she hated him” Ann replied.“She once did but now she’s having an affair with him and anywhere you find her, that’s where you’ll find him” Elena replied triumphantly and Ann nodded slowly.“So right under our nose all these while, this has been going on.”“Yes, a lot has been going on, we had a rift because of him... her relationship with Aurora is on a rocky point and there’s only one person I know who might be closer to her but she’s worthless and a commoner so I don’t have much expectations” Elena replied.“What exactly do you want from me for all your job?” Ann demanded.“I wan be the new Isabelle” Elena dropped.“What do you
“What’s wrong?” Ann demanded and her secretary frowned before looking at her.“Elena was taken away from her house, the same person dropped her off... The person who dropped her off seemed familiar and they’ve been seeing his face a lot” Cassie replied.“He might be her boyfriend or a suitor, I don’t give a fuck about him, when are they going to find Isabelle?” Ann replied.“The man can’t be a suitor because when he took her, they tried to follow them but he took several routes and they lost him, I think Elena is working for Isabelle and she’s the only one who can lead us to her” Cassie replied and Ann smirked, raising her wine glass.“If that’s it, increase the people watching her, Elena.. I’ll give you one of the most painful deaths” Ann muttered, grinning viciously.“What about Mario, ever since his personal guard died, he has been very secretive and protective, our spy can’t get information again” Cassie let out.“We don’t need any information again, all we need is to kill him..”
“I’m going to kill Mario!” Roberto ranted, pacing around. Ann was at his side, furious as she made several calls.“That bastard, I’ll tear his flesh apart!” Ann flared, throwing her phone on the ground angrily.“I’ve successfully blocked all the tv stations from screening the video but the problem now is the internet, several blogs have carried it and it’s hard because to convince them” Cassie announced.“Get the service providers company on the phone now! I want everybody to lose access to the internet till further notice” Roberto let out and Ann stared at him with amazement.“That’s a dangerous thing to do. If we do it, it’ll only prolong the matter and make it worse as more tongues would wag, let’s try to get the video off the internet” Ann advised.“What way are we gonna get it off? The news has spread and everyone is aware of our affair! Do what ever it takes to get Mario” Roberto commanded and the guards nodded before leaving.“I’ll try to make social media accounts to be banned
“What the fuck did you just post Elena?” Lilian demanded and Elena frowned, raising her brows.“What did you see? I made a post about revealing some of our top politicians secrets especially those who are in power currently” Elena replied nonchalantly.“Isabelle just made the same post, is there something going on that I’m not aware of? I thought we were working for Ann, why have you changed?” Lilian demanded.“I’m fucking tired of all your pretense, do you think I’m not aware that you work for Mario? You’ve been selling my information to him. Let’s part ways, you work for Mario while I work for Isabelle” Elena replied.“I hope you don’t regret it” Lilian muttered.“And I hope you would live to tell the story” Elena replied harshly and Lilian walked out.“Hey girl..” Aurora muttered, walking inside. Elena sighed deeply before slumping on a chair.“What’s wrong? You don’t look too good. I just saw Lilian walk out angrily” Aurora commented and she puffed.“I’m just tired of everything”
“Who could that be? What’s going on between them? There’s something that I don’t know” Aurora thought as she sped off. “I’m certain she knows where Isabelle is... I’ll surely try my best to find her” Aurora vowed as she brought out her phone and dialed Lilian’s number.“Hey Lilian... I was wondering if you what is wrong with Elena, she’s acting strange all of a sudden”“What! Why would she be trying to work for Isabelle, knowing how nasty things could get?”“Why is she helping Isabelle? I thought they had a rift...” Aurora demanded and listened to Lilian’s explanation.She thanked Lilian before hanging up the calling, thinking deeply. “How can someone who’s working for Ann change suddenly?” Aurora thought , confused.“Those bitches, I’m sure they’re planning something huge, they wanna leave me out... what is the thing Isabelle planned in the first place?” Aurora thought and was interrupted by a phone call.“Hello?... yea, this is Aurora. Sure, I’ll meet you there in the next 10 minut
“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?
