CHAPTER 63
HOPE
The fact that there was a little hope of escape from the clutches of Mr White made Isabella so happy that she didn’t even realize that she had gotten home already, she just could not wait to free from anything that has do with Mr White and her family.
Immediately she got into the house she was surprise to see that Vincent was already home and was busy in the kitchen,”Hi Vincent,” she greeted as she walked into the kitchen.
“Hey Bella, how was your day?” Vincent questioned as he lifted up his eyes to respond to her greeting and immediately continue with what he was doing.
“It’s was good,” Isabella replied as she walked towards the room to freshen up and then after some minutes she returned to the dining to join Vincent.
“Are you okay?” Vincent asked immediately as he had noticed Isabella countenance was not in a bright place, “Did something happen?” He continued trying to get some information from her.
“I am okay,” Isabella said as she responded with a smile but Vincent was not moved because he could see through her smile that there was something not right.
“I know Audrey is your best friend and I know you always want to confide in her at all times but I can show you that I am worthy of your trust if you just tell me what exactly is bothering you. ” Vincent commented.
“I am really okay,” Isabella protested as she took a big chunk of food just to make Vincent stop worrying but she knew Vincent was right about her s claim.
She was worried about the new suggestion that Audrey ha talked about, she was scared of Mr White not agreeing to their terms and also she was not sure if any good company would want to have a contract with her.
Years back when she had signed the contract with Mr White, she was new in movie industry and was naive, she had thought Mr White was doing her a big favour and had trusted him because of the relationship he had with her father.
But She never knew he had his evil game on his mind and moreover she would not have had any choice of backing out because her mother and sister had pushed her to accepting the contract.
And now all she wanted was to get a company that would bring her out of Mr White’s evil nest and to be able to start all over again without having to feel so threatened.
“Isabella, what’s actually bothering you?, I have been watching you and I can see that you are still not okay” Vincent asked again he had been watching her again while she was lost in her thought and this time he was sure she was not okay.
“I know you feel like you do not owe me any explanation because you feel like we are just co- parents but you can tell me anything and I promise to be if help!” Vincent assured her as he waited for her reply.
Isabella on the other hand could see that Vincent was only being his usual self by caring about her and she was sure that Vincent could be of help to her.
“It’s about work!” Isabella finally said as she waited for his reaction, “What is happening, what can i do for you?” Vincent questioned but as she was about to tell him about Mr White, she thought about what he would think about her and her family.
“It’s too personal,” She thought to herself as she looked at Vincent who was eagerly waiting for her response, she was sure Vincent would’ve if help to her concerning Mr White but she did not want to get him involved especially because they were not going to be together forever.
“I need a contract!” Isabella announced after her thoughts, she had concluded on just using Vincent to get a contract with a good movie company after that would solve her problems.
“Do you have any movie company that would be needing an upcoming actress, you know that I am not famous and up to the league of top actors in the country but I really need a good job urgently,” Isabella continued.
“A job?” Vincent questioned surprisingly, “Are you forgetting you condition right now?” Vincent continued as he looked straight at her stomach.
“Oh you mean me being pregnant, I know you are worried but it wouldn’t stop me from acting after my belly is not that protuded and I could just choose the roles I take.” Isabella explained.
“But you know it would still be stressful on you and that would not be too good for the baby!” Vincent noted but Isabella protested that she would be fine.
She knew he was right about the stress of the pregnancy but she just could not let this opportunity to be free from Mr White slip through her hands.
“I am still not convinced about you working in this condition,” Vincent blurted out as he looked at her with concern, though she had not really shown to be in any dangerous condition he was still worried.
“I just need to take a few roles and that’s all, I really need this to sort somethings out,” Isabella explained, “But I can help you out with whatever you need to sort out and you would not need to stress yourself,” Vincent confirmed.
But Isabella didn’t want him getting too involved, “No I am fine with taking care of myself, I just need you to help me with a good company.” Isabella noted.
“Are you sure about this?” Vincent asked again but he was surprised to see that Isabella’s mind was already made up.
“Audrey told me about bluefins entertainment company, please do you know anything about them or have a connection with the owner or maybe you could know someone who is connected with the owner?” Isabella asked immediately.
“I really do not have an idea about that right now but I can help you out with it, I am sure I would know someone connected to them and I would put in a word for you.” Vincent assured her.
Though he wasn’t happy about her plan if going back to work, he could not turn his back from her needs and would try his best to support her.
“Thank you so much,” Isabella replied as she smiled at Vincent happily, she as sure Vincent would keep to his words and it meant she was going to be free from Mr White soon.
