Chapter 16: Angel she doesn’t know
“Take me home now!” Isabelle thundered and Alessandro entered the car without uttering a word.
“Would you like to tell me about it?” He inquired when the journey started, she kept silent for some minutes and decided it wouldn’t hurt to talk to someone.
“I’m just tired of everything and everyone. They all think being the president’s daughter is a blessing and I got the role because of my father, that’s true but they think I can’t be good at anything. Why? For Pete’s sake, I’m human too and I get hurt by some words” She whimpered, wiping her eyes and Alessandro’s gaze softened.
“They think that way because that’s what you’re making them think. Prove to them that you can be the best by acting your roles perfectly, ignore their remarks and minimize your complaints”
“Don’t give in to their taunts, if they say anything to you, ignore them. You don’t need them. I’ve never for once thought you wouldn’t be good at acting, you just have to prove it, wipe those tears and cheer up, we’re going to the studio and you wouldn’t look good with red, swollen eyes”
She smiled, cleaned her tears and he smiled back at her. Her phone beeped as multiple notifications filled her phone.
She checked them and was surprised that a video of her fighting with Lilian had been uploaded and the internet was on fire.
Netizens took sides with Lilian while insulting and attacking Isabelle. They called her different terrible names, mocking her about how poor her acting skills were.
“If an actress is what they want then I’m going to give them that” She thought with determination, anger and hurt blossomed inside her, the comments made her eyes water.
Alessandro stopped the car a few meters away from the studio, he could see a crowd gathered at the gate, holding billboards and shouting.
“Isabelle must go!” Was boldly written on each board as they chanted and kept marching around.
“What the hell have I gotten myself into?” Isabelle thought as she got a call from her father.
“Get to my office now!” He thundered and dropped the phone.
“Turn the car around and drive to the presidential palace” She muttered weakly and he nodded.
“I’ll always be here for you, take a deep breath, things will be fine” He comforted and she nodded.
She used the elevator to her father’s office , she found Ann looking at her angrily while her father barked instructions at a technical guy.
“Why would you get in a fight with such a big actress?” Ann requested and Isabelle frowned.
“Excuse you? I’m here for my father not to listen to your gibberish, last I remembered you’re just his staff who got the job because of my mother” She retorted leaving Ann speechless.
“Young lady you are to render a public apology to Lilian or..”
“Or else what father? Y’all are taking sides with her without knowing what happened and how the fight began. Am I that bad?!” She thundered.
“You’re not bad, you’re rotten to the core. I wonder what your aunt was thinking when she trained you up this way. You’re becoming a nuisance and I’d advise you to keep things low or else the mob would silence you” Ann interrupted.
“Says the secretary who doesn’t know her place, do I need to remind you that you have no husband to call yours or children? That you got this job through the help of your mother and you’re not even qualified to be employed in a beer factory?” Isabelle replied and walked out angrily, ignoring calls from her father.
“That was too much Ann, you shouldn’t talk to her that way again” Roberto chastised.
“This is how you spare the rod and keep spoiling her, she needs to learn and take responsibility for her actions. She’s a grown ass lady for hell sake! Did you hear the words she threw at me? Can’t you call her to order! Is it until she disgraces us in public?!” Ann replied angrily.
“And she’s my legitimate child, the one everyone knows about and the one who would inherit most of my properties. Hearing you talk to her that way would cause more problems as people would start making assumptions ” Roberto fired back.
“Okay, I get it now. My kids are bastards right? They’re worthless huh? To hell with you Roberto, you clean up her mess yourself, I’m so done with all these. I quit, you, your daughter, your election and my job can go to hell!” Ann surrendered and walked out.
She walked to her office, got her purse and left.
“Hello, can we meet now?” Ann walked inside a cafe and waved at a female who was waiting for her nervously.
“Hello, it’s nice to meet you again,” Ann confessed and her guest nodded.Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.
“You did a good job with that video, was wondering if you could get me more by the end of this week? I want something better than this, I want anything that can ruin her career complete” Ann confessed bitterly
“I’ll try to but it’s up to Isabelle to act stupid, if she doesn’t act up, there’ll be no video and she’ll be more careful now”
“Try your best to infuriate her, do anything that’ll make her lose it, suggest places and send hookup guys to her” Ann suggested.
“I can’t, I’m an angel that she doesn’t know, not the demon she knows. The best way is to get an actress to oppose her, she can’t control her anger and would surely do something stupid. You can use your post to lure Lilian into helping you”
“I’ll do that but you make sure to always be around to get it on camera. I’ll transfer some money to you in a few hours time” Ann instructed and stood up.
“Isabelle calm down,” Alessandro ordered, holding her hand. She had left the office angrily, crying in the car and when she got inside the house was about to run upstairs.
Alessandro didn’t care about the maids who starred and tried to eavesdrop on their conversation, all he wanted was to comfort her and take her pains away.
“Calm down? Everyone is on my neck, criticizing me for what isn’t my fault. My pictures are on billboards with shady remarks, netizens are attacking me and reporting my social media accounts and you want me to calm down?” Isabelle questioned and Alessandro sighed.
“Let’s go somewhere” He instructed and led her outside.
He drove to his house and she frowned but didn’t utter any word.
“Why am I here?”
“Sit on the couch, I’ll fix you something for lunch” He replied and disappeared into the kitchen.
He came back, holding two sandwiches and two mugs of hot cocoa. “This will calm you down”
“Tastes nice, thank you” She complimented and he smiled.
“Now tell me how you intend to face all these problems?”
“I don’t know what to do. Quit acting or just elope again” She replied.
“No. I have a better idea, you need to trend for a good reason. You can do something like giving to the orphans or helping the poor with money”
“That’s cool, I can get Elena and Aurora to help me do that, they wouldn’t mind doing that” She asserted.
“No, you have to do it yourself and look very genuine” He landed the bombshell and she grew stiff.
“What! I might develop an illness if I get too close to those dirty looking people, I can’t do that, it’s absurd” She protested.
“You have to, it’ll help get part of your image back, it’ll keep your father busy and also get you more fans” Alessandro replied and she shook her head.
“I feel hot right now, let’s talk about something else.. something better” Isabelle said sexily, moving close to Alessandro, her eyes were eating up his figure and her panties were getting wetter with each word he said.
“No young lady, until you accept to give to the orphans, there’ll be no sex for you”
“I don’t want sex, all I ask for is a quickie. Just the tip” She replied, licking his neck lazily as her hand found his buckle.
His limp shaft revived immediately and hot arousal shot through him. His hand found her hook and with a little snap, he released her white, huge breasts.
He dug his face into them, earning a moan and laugh from Isabelle who stroked his shaft lightly.
“Stop, you still haven’t agreed” Alessandro moved back slightly and she pouted with a frown, drawing him closer.
“Fine, anything you say” She replied and he grabbed her face, placing a deep wet kiss on her rosy lips, she moaned and her body vibrated with arousal.
She loved the way his muscles tensed each time her hands brushed them and the way he stared at her with pure raw need.
She jumped on him and her legs coiled around his waist as he walked to the room slowly, kissing her and his hands running around her back.
He dropped her on the bed and she sighed, watching him strip off his wear. He got on the bed and climbed on top of her but she pushed him away gently.
“Today, it’s my turn to ride you to ecstasy” She whispered.
