Isabella

41| Mr. Stevens and His Offer

I couldn't believe Chase and Josh were exchanging blows right in front of me and everyone else at the party. This was definitely going to be news for awhile. I half expected Josh to punch back after Chase had approached us and punched him. It almost felt like I was shooting the cliche scene where two guys fight for a girl but the blood on Chase's lip told me this was reality.

"That's enough both of you" I stood in their way before the security men came to separate the fight. Chase kicked his legs in the air and struggled in the arms of the huge bouncer who had his firm grip on Chase.

"So this is why you called off the engagement!" he shouted for everyone to hear while pointing at Josh with despise. "You called off our engagement because of this good for nothing bastard" he hollered. His pale skin had turned red and I could see the veins on his forehead popping out. His blonde hair was also a mess by now.

"We should go" I heard Harry's voice behind me before he pulled me by the arm towards the exit. The bouncers cleared the way for me to get through because paparazzi and journalists were asking stupid questions about something that wasn't there business in any way. I could only imagine what theories they would have come with by now.

"What the hell happened?" Harry asked me as soon as we were inside the limo. I rubbed my forehead with my fingers hoping the headache would subside.

"I don't know, okay?" I snapped at Harry. "I don't know what the hell is wrong with Chase"

"Did you break up with him?" Harry asked me making me roll my eyes.

"Yeah..."

"Okay, when did this happen?"

"While we were on our way back from Nigeria" I replied with a sigh.

"You broke up with him on a plane? Who does that?" Chase asked. "No wonder he's so furious"

"Whatever..." I mumbled while looking out the window.

Isabella Nwankwo and Joshua Stevens serectly dating?

Isabella calls off engagement with fiance

Isabella Nwankwo and Joshua Stevens betray their fiancees with secret relationship.

Isabella's fiance, Chase Walter causes chaos at party.

Those were the headlines I woke up to the next day. Sometimes I just wished I wasn't an actress. Why won't the whole world mind their damn business?

"All the producers and business deals we had are gone" Harry announced as soon as he barged into my office.

"Good morning to you too Harry. I'm doing very well thank you for asking" I said sarcastically while feigning a smile.

"This ain't time for jokes woman!" he slammed his hands on my desk. "Have you seen the news?"

"I've seen 'em all Harry and the next time you slam your hands on my desk again, you won't have a job" I threatened knowing fully well I couldn't survive without him.

"No Bella, you won't have a career if you keep calling off engagements" Harry replied.

"Okay, that wasn't my fault" I defended myself. "I had no idea Chase was going to react like that"

"Well, clearly Chase isn't the problem. It's that Joshua guy who also happens to be engaged by the way" Harry nagged making me roll my eyes. "What were you thinking? It looked like you guys were cheating on your fiancees"

"Okay, hold on there mister" I raised my hand to shush him, "We were only dancing...."

"Yeah, and your outfits matched too-"

"Okay, so what exactly is your point?"

"People love you and something like this raises a lot of eyebrows" Harry sighed. "You do know they're calling you fiancee snatcher, right?"

"That's a thing?" I asked looking surprised.

"It is now, apparently" Harry replied. "And on top of that, I got a lot of calls from producers this morning saying they want to cancel their movie contracts with you so right now as we speak, you have no movie deal"

"What?!"

"Yeah, you heard right. And it's going to remain this way until this nonsense blows over and people forget about it" Harry said.

"But I'll go bankrupt by then..." I whined

"Well, next time, you think about that before getting engaged to psychos" Harry was only adding salt to my injury but he was so right.

"Miss Bella, someone wants to see you" Stacy, my cleaner informed me while I was at the dinning table having my lunch.

"Who's that?"

"Mr. Stevens" Stacy replied and I knew it was Joshua. How did he get my address? He's something else.

"Let him in. I would like to give him a piece of my mind anyway" I said to Stacy before she hurried off.

"This is a nice house" Josh said looking around and observing the interior decor.

"I lost all my movie deals because of what happened last night" I said, ignoring his complement.

"I'm really sorry-"

"Why are you here?" I asked feeling impatient. I was a bit angry.

Josh place a folder on the table that was in between us. We were seated opposite each other in my large sitting room.

"What's this?" I picked up the file and opened it.

"A movie deal with Stevens Productions and also a modeling contract for Stevens Industries" Josh explained.

"You want me to advertise your products?"

"Yeah, I guess so. You'll be the face of Stevens industries, you'll be on every billboard and commercial. What do you say?" Josh grinned.

"I have to discuss this with my manager" I lied.

"Come on. Please. I'm literally begging. And you promised to help me regain my memory so..."

"Well, since I've lost all my movie deals and every contracts whatsoever..... Yeah sure, I'll do it"
