Isabella Manor put on her black shade and walked away in her black dress, out of the cemetery. She got to her car and slid in. As she drove out of the cemetery, a man jumped in front of her car and she pulled the brake so quickly that it made a screeching noise.
The man ran over quickly to her side, holding a certain part of his chest. He tapped on her window and she rolled it down and bellowed “You jerk!...” She was going to advise him to jump into the lagoon and have a peaceful suicide death rather than hang the guilt of it on her heart.
But paused, as she saw that the man was bleeding from his head. “Save him, I've been shot and stabbed..” the man said.
Isabella remembered what it's like to be stabbed. She immediately unlocked the back door and said “Hop in” the man was now finding it difficult to walk upright and with difficulty, he dragged himself into the car.
But his pursuers sighted them, just before Isabella Manor drove off. They got into their car and started chasing them. Different thoughts of survival were running through Isabella's head as she stepped on it, moving it swift and fast, as much as she could.
“Save me however you can,” the stranger pleaded, he seemed to be talking with difficulty but his voice was vocal and sexily accented
Isabella Manor suspected that they might have their co accomplice, cross them in front, hence she adopted another idea, turning into a busy alley and parked.
She stepped out and joined the stranger at the back. Wondering what she wanted, he grabbed her immediately and started kissing her passionately.
Isabella wanted to push him off but she got caught up in it. She kissed him back. His lips were supple and he kissed her like a lover.
Seeing that his pursuers had stepped out, coming towards the car with his split vision, he laid back and pulled the woman over himself, thereby her long hair covering his bleeding skull.
Isabella gnawed in fury but he whispered “Save me by acting along” he whispered. His hands across her waist as they remain in an intimate position.
One of the men yanked the door open and Isabella moaned loudly. The man hissed and grumpled “Isn't the car too small for this?” And shut the door.
He raised his hand and announced to the others helplessly “We lost the bastard”. Without waiting another minute, they got into their car and zoomed off.
As soon as they left, Isabella raised herself off his body and yanked him upright and slapped him across the face “How dare you kiss me?” She yelled at him.
She stepped out of the back seat and somehow, felt unhappy that the kissing stopped. This stranger ignited a passion within her and her body wants him to continue.
“Get out of my car” she ordered coldly. How can she let a stranger kiss her? The first and last time a stranger touched her, the result was the twin.
“Take me to a place where I will be safe” he ordered coldly. Lan Keith glared at the woman whose car he remained seated without the slightest intention of stepping out.
She slapped him, she's the first woman who has the temerity to do that. She's feisty and he likes such women. But besides, who is she?
Isabella Manor wanted to refute him again but she remembered how helpless and unconscious she was and found help. She got behind the wheel and combed her hair backwards with her hand.
She glared at the man behind her from the rear mirror and saw him close his eyes. She sighed and drove out of the alley.
“Where should I drop you?” Isabella asked and the stranger answered almost immediately “Junction to Helen's island” and shut his eyes again.
The man was really wounded. She looked at her dress, it was soiled with his blood. She took a deep breath and imagined how Ebele mom had also saved her.
It definitely was not going to be easy on her that day. She was heavy and pregnant with a twin. Yet she saved her and gave her a chance to live and her babies survived.
Soon, she arrived at the junction and the stranger opened his eyes “How do you want me to reward you?” The stranger asked, his complexion was looking pale. He was still talking sanely but he was really getting weaker and his shirt was soaked in his blood.
“Let's say, you owe me a favour. Someday, you'll pay me if we ever cross paths again” Isabella Manor replied.
“I don't owe favours and I don't forget either” the stranger replied and stepped out of the car, he stood upright and walked with pride towards the car.
Isabella glared at him walking away and wondered if he was wounded at all. Anyways, she shrugged and drove off.
A message popped up on Isabella's phone and she glanced at it just as she drove through the gates of the Johnson's mansion.
Thank you for saving my life today, Fiona Johnson.
Isabella Manor squinted, how did he know who she was? Did she introduce herself to him?
Such a weird man but also somewhat familiar.
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
