Something is off
Fiona Johnson stood out, she's unhappy. Her mum called her and said the headteacher of her kids' school had informed her that the kids went out for lunch with an important person in the society. Who is that important person, they wouldn't disclose his identity until the kids are back. She hadn't even tasted her meal when she stood up. She's going to that school. Those people need to be talked to. How can they just release children in their custody to some random strangers? She'll just take permission from Lan Keith before leaving. She'd be back before he needs her for another assignment. As Aaron pulled the door open for her, Fiona walked in with hooded eyes. “Sir..” she had begun when her eyes locked with her sons. She paused as the excited voice of the boys chimed “mummy” they both said at the same time. Mummy? Lan Keith squinted. They know Fiona and call her mummy? She's a mother? Aaron Rodgers watched as the boys sprang up on their feet and ran

A sudden visit
Jeniva Manor had gone to the company as summoned. The CEO had gone on a trip and the next in hierarchy to him was fuming with rage. “I'm sorry sir” she apologised. Seeing Julia Li was still not pacified, she pulled a long face,not feeling remorseful at all. She doesn't know why the man is being so angry with her. He might not have made advances to her,but she knows about his antecedent. He's not a saint as well, everyone has got a skeleton in his or her cupboards, as far as Starlight entertainment company is concerned. “You'll have to pay for your unguarded actions. You are trying to ruin the reputation of the other models of this company and I won't sit back and have it destroyed by you” Julia Li snapped at her. Jeniva pouted her lips. She'll try her luck maybe, it will work for her “I'm ready to do anything to apologise for my mistakes. I don't mind booking a hotel and inviting you to make up for my flaws” she offered. Jeniva was not looking remorse at al

Jeniva cannot be punished
Lan Keith kept his gaze on Fiona. Her eyes had suddenly gone reddened and teary. What is the matter, why does she feel torn when he talks about Isabella Manor? After she was brought to his room that night, he was drunk and she was drugged. They both needed to get some relief and what can a drunken man like him do when he saw her as a sacrificial lamb? He devoured her, satisfying his cravings and in exchange cummed into her. But he soon left quickly as the effect of the drug still kept the woman in an unconscious state. But he was smart to take a good look at her. A woman whose virginity was his to take unrestricted. He plunged through and broke her hymen. When he leaves, he knows what her face looks like and has her investigated. He only realised that she was yet to celebrate her 18th birthday. He didn't bother going to find her. Then one day, his father's best friend came around and said he'd found his daughter's whereabouts. She's from the Manor's fami

Flopped
Everyone glanced at each other and pouted their lips. Such outrageous outburst from Julia indicated that something went wrong in the background. Jeniva remains the top list models and that settles it? Who signed the deal and settled it? What the heck is he saying? They'll all wait for the return of the President. Julia was rumoured to be an adulterer. He was said to be having a thing with the females in the company and this sudden outburst is making everyone assume that some deals have been done behind closed doors. One of these days, things would go wrong and his secret will be exposed. Since he loves anything that goes about in skirts, then he would get what lovers of things in skirts get when his wife gets to know. Jeniva received a call from Keith's cooperation that she would be having dinner with the CEO. She cannot hide her excitement. That's it. She knew it. He wouldn't be able to resist not meeting her personally. She would have been able to co

For Isabella's sake
Alex arrived home and Jeniva called. He ignored her call. After the incident of the scandal outbreak, the engagement was called off. Then realising that she was sleeping around with other men while she was dating him, it was a complete turn off for him. He cannot keep the relationship, it cannot be salvaged. He knew a lot of celebrities have secrets they cannot share with anyone, especially using their body and face to achieve their goals,but he thought Jeniva would be different. He can't really say that he loves her in person. Whatever he had for her, was completely Isabella's love. He loves Isabella and only transferred the love to her cousin Jeniva. But now that everything seemed to hit the rock, the probability of meeting Isabella popped up. Something is happening and he cannot tell what exactly it is. But after the phone chirped three times more, he decided to answer the phone. Perhaps she might link him up to Isabella somehow. “Baby, how long are y

Lan's girlfriend
Alex saw her after a few years and could still recognise her from the back view? If she hadn't acted out of impulse, he might probably just walk away and assume he was wrong. But her senses were heightened that she readily responded to her name. Only her face was able to save her. But she might have had plastic surgery on her face, but her back was still in its natural state. She hopes to be careful next time. But when she saw Alex, a part of her was filled with contempt and vengefulness. She felt like scratching his face with her long nails and seeing him bleed and leaving scars behind. Isn't that what his promiscuous girlfriend did to her, slashing her face and leaving deep cuts and scars on her face? She wouldn't have lived to see the light of the present day if Ebele mom hadn't come to her rescue. She not only rescued her from death, she gave her a new look and a new identity. She used to love him dearly and no wonder she wasn't a bit angry when he lied to

Nathan has a fever
Jeniva felt her knees knocked against each other. She's certain that if she wasn't sitting, she might need help with someone to support. She glanced at Alex and saw him staring at the same woman intently. What, is he thinking what she's also thinking? Did he see Isabella in that woman besides Lan Keith? Her complexion turned pale but quickly she regained her composure and faked a relaxed smile. But as Lan Keith and Fiona approached them, her mind was beating faster than usual. Lan Keith and Fiona walked side by side as the manager of the eatery walked over and bowed slightly before Lan Keith “We're glad to have you here, CEO Lan” he said. “Thank you” Lan responded, turning his gaze on Alex and Jeniva briefly. He maintained his usual expressionless face and looked away. Fiona glanced at the two betrayals briefly and looked away. She looked elegant and classical and the first impression is that she's Lan Keith's girlfriend. A part of her was fuming with

Alex knows
Fiona just stared at him calmly as if she didn't understand what he said. The idiot has discovered her true identity. How long does she have to hide it more? “You left me and eloped with your lover and returned with a changed face and didn't bother coming to find me?” Alex chided. His eyes had turned reddish. How on earth can Isabella treat him this way? He loves her. He flopped once, yes, that's true. And he doesn't deserve it to be treated. “What are you saying Mr Foster?” She asked, acting to be lost. But Alex wouldn't buy that pretence anymore as he suddenly raised her chin and below it was a port wine stain birthmark. But Fiona grew furious and flinged Alex's hand off. She glared at him with a killing intent. She'd always had that mark and Alex was fond of caressing it back then. “How dare you Alex Foster” Fiona thundered. Who said he could touch her? Who says he has that audacity to do so. But Alex just glared at Fiona for a few seconds until sud

Meet Isabella
Without waiting for her mother to respond nor passing a glance at whoever was standing there, she moved forward and touched Nathan's chin with her palm. “His fever had subsided, mom,” she said in a relaxed tone. That was when she glanced at the fellow standing and next she squinted as a broad smile followed. She went to him and hugged Fred “Doctor Fred” she chimed. Her eyes became teary. She couldn't look at him back then,the disfigured face made her lose her self esteem. Fred held her close and next cupped her face in his palm. He was looking into those eyes, he recognised those eyes, they were the only part on her face that wasn't covered in a bandage. This is her, this is his patient back then. The one that made him had sleepless nights, missed many dinners with his parents and siblings and made him desperately want a positive outcome. The patient that the other medical team described as having 70/30% chances of survival. Many said she won't come out of it. He

You left me
Alex had been hanging around. He trailed the two lovers to the hospital and waited outside, taking notes of which ward they've been to and the ones he shouldn't make a mistake of stepping into. It was only now that he saw a woman with a striking resemblance with Fiona, the new look of Isabella, that he got the exact ward. Fiona who had sat next to her son on the hospital bed raised her head to glance at whoever stepped in. Perhaps it's the doctor or her Mom forgot something and came back to pick it. But the person that got in was not those she expected, it's the last person she ever thought to see. She stood up and walked closer to Alex. The latter stood, he stared at the little boy sleeping peacefully and a faint smile appeared on his face. He is the spitting image of Isabella Manor. The boy really took after his mom. No matter how she disguised herself, she cannot hide the gene from flowing freely from one generation to the next. In order to hide away
