"Third-rate actress Vanessa Sanchez Is involved in a sexual scandal" The bright screen of her mobile phone Shone directly at her face as she read the news headlines inwardly. Vanessa scrolled the pictures through, reading more news about herself as the blogs weren't backing down in spreading the rumors about last night. Vanessa frowned her face in disappointment. If it was really rumors then she would've gotten over it already and also know how to defend herself. However, it wasn't. She was right in bed with a man sleeping beside her. His bold back was facing her. He had a golden brown skin which flourished as the sun rays escaped into the room and showed directly on his body which was halfway wrapped inside the duvet. He was a stranger, yet his cologne was dominating and familiar to her. As if she knew him. The photos on her screen were from last night's hangout with her colleagues and some sponsors in the industry. She was supposed to find herself a rich sponsor from last night'
When Vanessa reached the lobby of the hotel, reporters suddenly flocked around her. "Miss Sanchez, are the rumors true? Do you have a new sponsor? We heard that he's an old man?" A reporter quickly threw those questions at her. Vanessa struggled to walk through the crowd as they were creating a scene."Is he your sugar daddy? Is it true that you sleep with men for money to sponsor your dying career?" Another one threw a question at her. Vanessa's face turned red as anger boiled inside of her. She clenched her fist tightly as she stopped to respond to their questions."I guess my senior colleagues feel threatened by me. That's why they're spreading these horrible rumors about me, "she stated. "We do not understand you, miss Sanchez? Is anyone after you?" The reporter asked again."Who spread rumors about you?" "The same person who paid you all to question me." She replied. Vanessa moved forward and approached the door.As she pushed the door open, she felt a cold liquid splash all o
"Madam, now that I have clarified to you this issue, it's best that you leave the hotel before I have you arrested." Manual threatened her. The woman was embarrassed by the whole situation. Truly, she had accused Vanessa wrongly because she was paid to. She didn't want to get arrested, so she left quickly.As soon as the woman left, Manuel turned to the reporters. "You all should get your facts right about Vanessa. And if any of this news goes viral, I'll make sure to ruin your careers. The companies you work for wouldn't be left out." He threatened." Each and every one if you," he added. upon hearing that, the reporters quickly left the scene, they didn't want to risk their career. They all knew who CEO Emmanuel Howells was, he is cold-hearted, ruthless and powerful. From a highly influential family in the city. They dare not disobey his orders. Vanessa was loosened from his grip and she wanted to leave. Miranda was so angry that her plans were ruined. She turned to Vanessa and tr
By the time Vanessa woke up, it was evening time. She looked around the bedroom that she was in. A huge luxuriously designed master bedroom. She jerked up from the bed immediately. "Where am I?" She asked herself rhetorically as she walked towards the door. Vanessa was scared that she might've been kidnapped by someone. But at the same time she doubted that. A kidnapper wouldn't bring his victim to such a luxurious mansion. She walked stealthily through the hallways of the mansion that seemed utterly familiar to her. Except that some things were changed in it. She finally located the living room. "Where do you think you're going, Miss Sanchez?" She heard a familiar voice speak to her. Vanessa was dumbstruck as she saw who he was. She didn't expect it to be him who brought her here. "Did you save me from those women?" She asked him. Manuel walked down the staircase and he approached her. She was Standing by the door— holding the knob and about to open it."Yes, I did. " He answered
Vanessa struggled to break the kiss but he seemed to hold her with an iron fist. After he was done, he finally let go. Manuel wanted to speak, only to receive a slap from Vanessa. "How dare you kiss me?" She yelled at him. She wanted to slap him again and he held her. A nurse suddenly appeared in the scene. "The patient in ward 6" she said briefly. She knew who Vanessa was so she had to inform her about the health of her grandma.By the time Vanessa got there, she met her grandma in a critical state. Vanessa broke down instantly, crying. She couldn't stand seeing Nanay suffer so much because of her incompetence."Granny, please stay with me. I promise to get the money today. I'll make sure you don't die, please hang on" she pleaded. Vanessa couldn't control the tears that poured down her eyes. While she was inside the ward lamenting her pains, Manuel was outside watching her. Adrian soon arrived."Have you done what I asked?" He asked Adrian and he responded."Yes, boss. Here are
VANESSAI am standing in front of the civil affairs bureau, clenching tightly onto my purse. I am dressed in a short beautiful white satin wedding dress, with long chiffon hands. Surprisingly, it fit me perfectly, outlining my hourglass shape. An ideal wedding dress, chosen by Manuel. I felt uncomfortable in the dress, not because of anything but it got me wondering how he managed to get my exact size of dress. In the past, Manuel barely showed me any attention or care about me. This is his first time offering to pick my dress. I hadn't planned on accepting to wear what he chose for me, but I had no choice but to accept it. Manuel was persistent, and his threats over me because he had my grandmother made me come here to get married to him again. I looked at the time on my mobile phone, it was thirty minutes past eight a.m., Manuel was late for our wedding again. I wasn't surprised because this is how he normally acts. It made me recall how he missed our engagement party and our wed
VANESSAIt barely took thirty minutes for the marriage registration to be done. From what I noticed, it seems like Manuel has already had everything planned out. Even the time when the registrar arrived. He knew that he wouldn't come by 8 a.m. but 9. And he purposely made me wait for him for one hour. Is he trying to test my patience?The marriage certificate was handed to us and we took a few pictures as evidence. "Here" Manuel handed me a copy of the certificate and he gave one to Adrian to keep for him.I stood up to leave the office, Manuel held and pulled me back."Where do you think you're going, Vanessa?" He questioned me. His cold gaze still bothered me so I tried not to keep eye contact with him."I have to go to the studio. I have a shoot today by 10 a.m. and it's almost time" I explained to him. I didn't allow him to say anything and j just left the office with my certificate in my hands.I was heading outside the office whenManuel suddenly appeared and grabbed me."What
