“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
