James read the text that had been sent a few minutes ago.
'I won't be back for a while.Some things came up.'
He texted back 'How long will it take?'
The phone chimed a few minutes later 'Idk.Maybe 2 weeks.But I'm thinking of resting for a bit so it might last longer.' After a few seconds another message came 'I already miss you' with a crying and a heart emoji.
He sent back a 'I'll miss you more text' with a few hearts ,then left the phone to hug back the woman on his side.
"You must've read the news.I guess your wish came true.The piggy bank won't bother us for a few weeks." Then he started kissing her neck.Hannah just mmed and happily cooperated with him.
Reading the text Isabel felt sick in her stomach.She layed down on the bed behind her and started thinking of everything she experienced the day before.Her eyes were red and puffy,obviously showing what she had experienced last night.After venting for hours now she was calm enough to think what she would do next.
The pictures she had taken yesterday didn't show the faces of the people clearly and could be denied for photoshop,so she would collect every possible dirt she could find on them.If they had to fall,that fall should be hard enough for them to never stand up in this lifetime.
After quietly thinking she rose up and took out the laptop from her luggage and surfed the net to check every news of James Brown and Hannah Williams.After checking for a while suddenly her eyes got darker and faint sly smile bloomed on her face.Perfect.She would start with this.
…
"Move a bit to the right.Give me a more radiating smile."
"Your shoulder more on the behind.A bit more.Better.Now slide your hand through your hair.Great.Keep it that way."A deep mans voice echoed.
At a studio in another country a shooting was taking place with the most prominent photographer of the moment,Gael Laurier and at the same time husband of one of the newly rising models Hannah Williams.
Isabel was quietly watching the man working from the side.She had flew to this country yesterday just to meet him,after all he was also a victim and deserved to now.At first she thought she could easily pull him to the side and break down the news,but after arriving she hesitated a bit.She should wait at least after he finishes his work.A persons career shouldn't be ruined just because of trash people.
After 3 hours the shoot was over and Gael came to the side handing her a cup of coffee,smiling apologetically.
"Sorry for letting you wait so long.How have you been Isa?"
"No it's okay,it wasn't on purpose anyway.I could be better."she smiled nonchalantly.
Suddenly the smile from Gaels face dropped and was replaced with worry."Is something wrong?You don't look so well."
She glanced at the man infront of her and sighed inside her heart.How could Hannah do this to a man like him.She and Gael new eachother a long way back before Hannah and James.That had attended the same school since both of them belonged to the same kind of people,typical rich kid group.They had even dated for a period of time and infact he was the first relationship,but since both of them had different dreams and goals,which made their relationship into a long-distance one and as most long-distance relationships it didn't last ,but they still remained friends.Isabel new what kind of person Gael was,though most of the time he seemed flirtatious and careless,he was a person who valued relationships and loyalty.During their dating time he would come up with all kinds of surprises.Seeing such a genuine person be betrayed and this person also being one of her important friends made her even more sad and angry.Gael had also introduced her to Hannah.
"Why aren't you saying anything,Isa?" then Gael paused and spoke again "Did James hurt you?"
This person always cared for her,even now.Thinking about the situation they were on and how she had to hurt him with the news her eyes reddened.Gael seeing this got angry.
"That ****!I'll teach him a lesson when I get back!"
Isabel took a deep breath and finally spoke "Gael,calm down,finish your work and then let's talk to the park nearby.I have to say something….It's something important."
"No we'll talk now."
"Gael."Isabel raised her voice slightly and the lowered it saying pleadly "Please."
"Fine.Just wait here for 15 minutes."
