“What nonsense are you spurting, grandfather?” Isabella asked Don Samuel Morgan, one of the most powerful business men in the country. “You have abandoned us for 18 years and now you want me to play family with you?” She sarcastically said.

“This is for you, Isabella.” The Don answered seriously. “And you will benefit from this.”

“What do you mean?” Isabella frowned.

“I had you investigated, Isabella and found out that you have pile of debts because due to your mother’s hospitalization.” The Don grinned devilishly. “Even if we say that you are now a popular actress, it cannot still cover your debt.” He added making her clench her teeth.

“It was all your fault, you old man!” Isabella shouted from rage. “If only you didn’t shooed me and my mom like an animal, things will be different!” She glared at him. “My mother will still be alive if not because of your selfishness!” She added. “I am still a child back then but I already know that you don’t want my mom for your son. You want dad to marry someone who is from a wealthy family!”

“I already warned your mother before she married my son, but she didn’t listen to me. I offered her a fortune but she declined.” The proud Don answered.

“That is because she loves dad too much and not even once she thought of leaving him for money!” She defended her mother. She knows how much her mother loved her father even until her last breath.

“Your mother is just being practical, Isabella. She must have thought that she can get more money when she married my son compared to the money I’m offering her.” Don Samuel said.

“You deceitful man!” Isabella shouted at her own grandfather. “Is money all that matters to you? Ha! No wonder that you have many enemies because of your bad personality!” She grinned. “If you don’t have any other thing to say, I will go now and please don’t contact me again. This will be the last time that we will see each other!”

“I heard that you only have four months to pay your outstanding balance.” The Don said when she’s about to open the door.

“So what?”

“No wonder you’ve been accepting every offer that comes to your way.”

“Your point is?” She raised her brow.

“With my influence, I can easily make your career…”

“Are you threatening me, old man?” She cuts her off.

“I am just stating the fact, Isabella.” He grinned devilishly.

“I can’t believe that your blood is flowing on my veins!” She clenched her teeth. “Whatever you say, I will not agree playing family to the person who abandoned us in the middle of mourning the death of my father!” She bravely shouted and leaves his office hoping that this will be the last time she will see her cold-hearted grandfather.

“Did you do something wrong, Isabella?” Hal, her manager asked when she picked up her phone. She is enjoying her rest day at her house when her manager called.

“What are you talking about?” She asked still lying on the couch.

“The contract that you will be signing tomorrow…”

“What about it?” She asked curious what is going on.

“You will not be getting the role anymore, Bella.” Hal making her frown.
