Alessandro and Isabelle walked inside, laughing and they stopped when they saw Andrea and Roberto stare at them with surprise.“What’s funny?” Roberto demanded.“We saw a movie commercial that was very funny” Alessandro replied sharply, his gaze fixed at Andrea.“Oh, I see that you’re bonding well your guard, isn’t that great?” Andrea hinted and Isabelle sneered at him.“Oh, I also see that you’re at my house at this late time and there’s no signs of you leaving now” “Watch your tongue, he came to congratulate you, the least you should do is show some respect” Her father scolded.“Would you like to go on a date?” Andrea suggested and Alessandro clenched his fist.“And risk distracting you from your election? No, I’m not a terrible person you know, you should spend every free time you get on discovering new strategies for the election” She replied, walking upstate and Andrea blocked way.“All I’m asking for is just a date, it wouldn’t hurt to take a breathing space from politics... pl
“Thank you so much miss, I don’t know what I’d done if you hadn’t rescued me” Brianna mumbled, feeling embarrassed.“Make sure you’re very careful next time and try to avoid her path” She advised and Brianna nodded.“Do you you’ve been trending for the past few hours?”“Me? Why?” Isabelle demanded, clearly surprised.“You’re trending because someone dug out the price of your accessories to the award show. It costs lots of millions, you looked too beautiful yesterday and I wouldn’t be surprised if your trend for a while week, reporters are very terrible, they used your dress in shaming Lilian and that explains why she’s very angry” Chris disclosed.“The movie belongs to Thomas, why is she a part of it?” “The director recommended her and we hate to have her but we have no choice, we are planning on cutting her scenes” Chris disclosed and Lettice walked inside.“There you are! What the hell is wrong with you?! Why would you step on Lilian’s dress?” Lettice ranted making Brianna bow her
“What is wrong with you?! You had the perfect chance to kill him yesterday but you disappeared” Mario fumed.“Sir there was nothing we could do. Someone is tracking us, just yesterday we discovered two cars following us around and didn’t want to take chances. I think someone is aware that we’re after the president and is trying to protect the president because two of our guys followed the president yesterday morning and we found their dead bodies in a deserted road, we lost 5 guys this morning and I have a feeling that the person is trying to warn us” Liam disclosed and Mario threw his wine glass on the floor.“Scare me? I know it’s you Ann and I’m not going to spare you. When would you kill her?”“Sir we tried severally but whenever we get close, a car would come very close to ours, sir it seems like they are following us” “I don’t care if you follow them or they follow you, get Ann and Roberto killed today! This is my last chance” Mario instructed and walked away angrily.“Why are
“Lilian I’m sorry but there’s nothing I can do to help you, we’ve endured enough” Director Jay let out, sitting on his chair.“But.. there’s something you should be able to do about it, you’re the director.. can’t you just talk to him? I promise to be on my best behavior now” She pleaded and Jay rubbed his jaws.“I can try to convince them if I get a little motivation... you do understand right?” He trailed and she smiled broadly.“I’ll do anything to please you, I can start here. Just help me” Lilian pleaded, playing with the buttons of her shirt.She walked to the director seductively, she held his tie and made him stand up, she sat on the chair, her buttons undone and he attacked her, kissing her hungrily as he cupped her breasts.An actress barged inside and took out her phone, she began videoing as Jay detached from her immediately.“Rapists! You tried to force yourself on me!” Lilian screamed, feigning tears as she covered her body.“What! You bitch, you came here so I can help
“What you did was totally out of line and absurd. You’ve got thousands of angry netizens on your page!” Lettice scolded.“What do you expect me to do? Zena only sat there spilling out shut and you want me to keep quiet, smile and watch her?” Isabelle retorted angrily.“Hell yes! Can you take a look at the news, listen to the story she’s saying about you sleeping with the board members. She’s accusing you of sleeping with them so Lilian would not be under our studio. Do you know how long it’ll take before this scandal die down?” Lettice retorted.“What would you have me do now? I’m tired of everything already!” She yelled.“What we need now is a solution. First we make use of your father’s authority and get the news wiped out completely. Then we create a better topic that’ll keep them busy” Lettice suggested and Isabelle groaned but having no option, she called her father.After several minutes of pleading, he agreed to take it down only if she would join his campaign which she grudgin
“You know what will make this very fun? A vacation. How about having a vacation at Paris, we could visit lord of places and have lots of fun then return back to start work” Thomas announced and everybody cheered.“Would you be going?” Isabelle asked Brianna who was stylishly trying to leave.“Hmm.. not really.. I’m not sure if granny would let me go, I’ve got lots of things to do at home” Brianna mumbled and Isabelle put a hand around her shoulder.“You know what you should do sometimes? Just forget about your worries and have fun. Enjoy yourself even if it’s once in a long while. I’ll help you talk to granny and get her maids that’ll take care of the house till we’re back” Isabelle decided and Brianna stared at her with shock and opened mouth.“No... yo.. you can’t do that... can you?” She stuttered and Isabelle chuckled.“I’ll send the maid over, get ready. We’re leaving tomorrow and you don’t have to take clothes, we would go for shopping before leaving. We might be using my dad’s
“Rise and shine sleeping beauty, it’s time to tour the great city of Paris” Isabelle said, tapping Brianna gently.Rachel stepped forward, smiling and expecting a word from Isabelle.“You have 20 minutes or else the yacht would leave without you” Isabelle bade and walked out leaving the drowsy Brianna and shocked Rachel.Rachel fumed inside, wondering why was special about Brianna and why she couldn’t get Isabelle’s attention.Brianna took her bath hurriedly, she dressed in a short and tank top then hastily ran outside. She was shocked to see everyone eating and Isabelle giggling, it dawned on her that she had been pranked and there was no yacht.“What’s wrong?” Thomas questioned, walking past her. She noted that the table wasn’t crowded yet. Chills ran down her spine and she bowed her shyly, she was about to answer when Aurora stomped out, staring at her with disgust.“Why are you standing here blushing? Take your eyes off him girl” Aurora warned with a scowl and Brianna went to her
Isabelle stared at Alessandro angrily and walked out. He ran after her, following her to the restroom.“Isabelle, stop!” He a called as she slammed the door in his face. He entered inside, locked the door and held her waist.She was puffing very hard and he smiled, nudging her cheek.“You look very cute even when jealous. You look tasty also, I wanna eat you up” He teased and she pushed him away, still angry.“Just leave me alone” She retorted, going towards the door.“Baby, what proof do you need to believe me. Why would I leave you for someone as ugly as Aurora, she’s ugly, she’s rude, she’s terrible... I can’t compare even your feet to her whole body” He confessed and she tried to conceal a smile but he tickled her, making her burst into laughter.“Stop, just leave me alone you sugarcoated liar” She replied and he kept tickling her.“Fine.. stop... stop... I take back my words” She pleaded in between laughs and he stopped her, he focused his gaze on her lips and she began moving ba
“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?
