As she passed the threshold, she heard her mom Ebele Johnson scolding her kids “You successfully hacked into someone's private chat and exposed her secret affairs?” She scolded.
“We're sorry, grandma, she's a bad woman. She's also mean” Nathan replied, gazing down and fondling with his fingers.
“Fine. You are sorry but her engagement has been called off. She'd been with this guy a few years already” Ebele Johnson cautioned.
The two boys didn't say anything else. They simply bowed their heads showing total remorse for their deed. They saw their mummy's diary and saw where she wrote her name.
She tried to murder their mommy. And at the time, she was pregnant. But who was she pregnant with back then? Did she give birth to the baby? Well, whatever.
Nathaniel raised his head and saw their mom came in. He tucked on his brother and quietly they slipped away from the sitting room unnoticed.
“Hi mommy, are the kids at it again?” Isabella asked, sitting leisurely on the sofa. Now she has the younger version of Ebele Johnson's looks.
After she recovered in the hospital, Ebele Johnson and her husband brought her home, alongside her babies. She was wearing a mask all through.
She looked horrible with those deep scars on her face. She had only glanced at herself in the mirror once but ended up smashing the vanity mirror in rage.
She's not the beautiful woman she used to be. She'd become a shadow of herself. The couple felt pity for her and opted for a surgery for her.
They were unhappy that she had to mask her face, feed her babies and return to her room sobbing all day.
Her life drone in self pity until one night, Ebele and her husband invited her for a talk. They told her she would be travelling out of Florida to find a solution to her scared face.
She didn't know how to thank them enough, so she sobbed and hugged them both. They do not have a child of their own, hence they offered an adoption and Isabella agreed.
From that on, she ceased to be Isabella Manor. That name went silent and dead to her as she took the identity of Fiona Johnson, the only child of Mr James and Ebele Johnson.
When she was presented with different facial looks, she rejected them all. She was going to go through a reconstructive surgery and needed to choose the face she would like to open her eyes to.
She couldn't find a better option than choosing Ebele Johnson's looks. “I want to open my eyes to find myself looking exactly like my mother,Ebele Johnson”
That day, Ebele found no words to express her joy. She accepted her and her husband as her parents and now, chooses to take her looks. Fate has chosen to be fair to her, in her later days.
Now, the two women look perfectly like a mother and daughter pair. Fiona is a younger version of Ebele. And since the older woman was one of the most beautiful women in her youthful days, Fiona Johnson has the looks of a perfect prettiness.
“Yes, Fiona. Can you imagine what these boys did? They hacked into Jeniva Manor's social media contacts and monitored her conversation.
They exposed her illicit affairs and now, her engagement to Alex Foster had been called off. Just exactly how, will I punish them” Ebele cringed.
Rather than look unhappy at her kids actions, Fiona stood up and said “We need to make a toast to this. This is the best thing that has happened to the Manor's family in a long time”
She went to the wine cellar and poured them both glasses of wine, came over, shoved it into her mother's hand since she was being reluctant and raised her glass “to more ruin, to more downfall to the Manor's family”
She clicked her glasses with her mom's and swigged her glass of wine in five gulps. She placed her glass down and stared at her mother with an excited grin “I want more and worse things than this to happen to the Manors so as to please my aching heart” she mumbled.
Ebele stared at her daughter. For the past five years, Fiona is one of the sweetest souls she'd known. Why is she happy that such a thing befell an A-list model?
She placed her glass of wine down and said “Why are you happy that something unfortunate happened to a woman like you,Fiona? That woman may lose her career and her relationship for sure. And thanks to my grandsons”
“Jeniva Manor deserves it, mother. And much more than that, she deserves worse things happening to her. She's not a pure woman as she made all of her fans think her to be” Fiona Johnson replied.
Ebele glared at her daughter and shook her head. She sat down, Crossed her legs and said “I think there are things you need to tell me, I'm listening dear” she stuttered, staring at her daughter.
“Sure. I was going to tell dad one of these days. But I guess, I will have to just tell you how Jeniva Manor's parents murdered my parents and Jeniva herself attempted to murder me but I got rescued by you…”
Maybe he should go and come back at a time when the present tension has subsided. But then, he wants to know about his daughter as well. He'd been restless from the moment he knows that he has a daughter “My husband and I want to live peacefully. My daughter has always been found innocent and I'm sure that this time,her innocence would be proven once again…” Maria Manor stuttered. Larry Freeman nodded. She's not thinking straight at the moment. What has her daughter's innocence got to do with him and his daughter? “Oh…” Larry trailed off. What the heck! Why would he let his desire lead him this far? He needs to leave immediately and come back another time. “Yes sir. Jeniva was raised like a princess, alongside her cousin, Isabella. These girls grow up knowing only one language: love. How can all these charges be levelled against her? This is unfair. Whoever is doing this to her, will never get away with it. We'll fight for Justice and we'll surely
“I've said it before Lan, that the she-devil surnamed Manor and I aren't related in any way. We lived in the same mansion in the past but that doesn't automatically mean we are family” Fiona complained. Of all the people on earth, why would she be willing to be related to that monster? She would never have imagined that someone with an innocent facial expression can be this callous. “Yeah..I think I remember now, that you once told me she's not your cousin” Lan teased and chuckled. Fiona sighed softly. She glanced at Lan “take me home, I need to rest my head and think about what Jeniva's face would look like when she discovered that I have all the information that would usher her into jail forever..” This feeling makes her belly sweet. Someone needs to be a step ahead of her otherwise, she would think of herself to be something else,lofty and untouchable. “I think we should use this medium to our advantage, Isabella. What her face would look like doesn
Few minutes to 7pm, Lan Keith's private bodyguard called him and informed him that Luna Wesley had arrived at the Suitoria guest house and she's alone. Only then did Lan allow Fiona Johnson to place a call across to her. The latter replied promptly and Fiona asked that she meet her instead. Luna Wesley was dazed and at the same time happy that Miss Johnson honoured her invitation. It means she could get what she wants if she played her card well. Hence she contemplated on going over to meet her wherever she is. She replied and said she doesn't mind. And Fiona said she should step out of the hotel, some bodyguards were going to bring her over. Luna Wesley felt uncomfortable. Besides being a mere secretary to CEO Lan Keith, what other personalities does Miss Johnson have to make her hire bodyguards? Well, perhaps because of her abduction, she suddenly hired men to be her bodyguard. Anyways, what she wants is a ladder to the top. She stepped out and just th
Doe least expected to see the police men in the hospital and in Jeniva's ward to be precise. What the heck do they want from her? “Good day Miss Manor. We are officers from the police department and you are invited to our office to answer a few questions” one of the officers announced. Jeniva Manor's temple was now covered with beads of sweat. How on earth can it be heard that she left the hospital to the police department? She was going to seize the opportunity of having Barr. Doe with her and slip away quietly under less questions from the journalists. But these men, what do they want with her now? They've ruined this opportunity for her. “To be more precise, are you here to arrest my client?” Barr. Doe asked. He's too mature to believe such fairy tales from the police. Going to their office to get questioned was nothing different from being arrested and taken for interrogation. They can use that casual way of saying it to others, but not to some
In the Starlight entertainment industry, things have really gone jangled up. It's not news that Junxi Li has publicly been relieved of his job and his co accomplice had been blacklisted. Majority of the artists were celebrating privately that finally, perhaps a chance has come for them to rise in their career. This is going to be the opportunity they all sought after. Mrs Lorita was explaining the situation to the higher ups in the emergency board meeting. Her husband was out of the country but he had been restless from the moment the news of the scandal became the hottest news in town. Jeniva manor might have been the black sheep caught up in the web of the scandal again but the one suffering the most is the company. How can it be heard that the best entertainment industry in the city has raised such an artist who only knows how to get to the top by using their body to do it? And knowing that such purifying acts were being orchestrated amidst the staff
“Thank you for the honour of doing work with you, Mr Larry. Like I told you some time ago, I found a clue but today, I can point you to exactly where your daughter can be found. But we can only get information concerning her whereabouts, she'd left this city a few years ago and hadn't returned…” Jasmine informed Larry. No one knows how much she worked hard to find out the whereabouts of the Manor's family second Miss. The last sentence in Jasmine's words makes Larry feel uncomfortable. He'd thought he would meet his daughter eventually. But now, he has to begin from somewhere again. Although the information gathered so far was enough pointer for him to begin the second part of his investigation again. At least, he would be able to know the family his daughter had grown up with. “It's alright. You told me back then that her name is Isabella. Does she bear Alfred as her last name too?” He demanded. Did she take up her mother's last name or did she let
Lan kissed her sweetly. Fiona crossed her hands around his neck and kissed him back. It continued and gradually became a passionate one, each deepening the kiss, tongues locked, desire ignited. Fiona felt her body responded to Lan desiring something more satisfying, something more bonding and merging together. She snuggled harder into him and they kissed. A soft moan escaped Fiona's lips and Lan kissed her harder. His body was aflame and his hardness was going really rigid when his phone chirped. Lan reluctantly paused and pulled out of the kisses. Fiona's cheeks blushed as she felt shy at her sudden vulnerability in Lan's arms. Lan answered his phone and when he hung up, he said “Jeniva Manor has become a blacklisted artist in the Starlight entertainment industry. Meanwhile, investigation is ongoing on the cause of death of Scorpion's men . I have this strong intuition that they were poisoned and the mastermind behind this act cannot be far from that cou
“What? I already agreed to open up to you. Why should I lose my teeth?” Scorpion demanded, his eyes reddened and popping out,beads of sweat emerged on his temple. No one responded to him but the bodyguard seized the chance he got, when he decided to explain and kept his lips apart with the plier and before Scorpion could say Jack, he heard a sound of a noise on his tooth. The sound travelled through his ears and he heard a loud hollow noise that forced his way out of his ears and the pain followed. His head seemed to spin in pain. His brain seemed to only process the degree of pain while other impulses were placed on a temporary breakdown. Then the second hitting, he raised his ass up like he was going to jump out of the chair but he couldn't go beyond that. His legs were tied and so were his hands. He screamed in pain as suddenly he felt a force pulling out of his tooth. He screamed louder and painfully. Blood gushed out of his mouth and his he
Larry goggled through the recent news in Florida and stumbled upon the news of a certain abducted woman Fiona Johnson. This kind of news is everywhere these days but the active response of the police team was commendable. The fact that the criminals were apprehended speaks well of their professionalism but the breaking news of having those criminals dead in the police custody was something else. For the three men to have died at once in a single night calls for alarm. There's something wrong somewhere. There's an insider, a Judas among the twelve. Until that bad sheep is fished out of the fold, people would begin to lose trust in the Police department. As he perused through his phone, he was sipping from his glass of alcohol. Then the Jeniva Manor scandal broke out. Seeing the headlines, he scrolled over it, without bothering to read it. Youths of this generation are like that. Youthful exuberance, careless adventure. From what he'd found out, this
