Chapter 17: Sextape
“Get the funds ready, we’re taking the jet. We would export them to Canada then the guys would take them to the bank” Roberto said to Mario who nodded.
“Is it when we get back that we would discuss the wedding?” Mario requested.
“Wedding? What the fuck went wrong that night? You ruined it, got the news talking and now you’re talking about the wedding. Do you know the miles I had gone just to clear your name?” Roberto flared and Mario inhaled.
“I’m sorry, we were tricked into taking drugs. We tried to find out who did it but there was no clue. We didn’t know how it happened but it’ll never repeat itself” Mario pleaded and Roberto nodded, his phone beeped and he checked the notification.
“Let’s go” He instructed and they both left the office, they entered the limousine that awaited their arrival and drove to the airport.
“Why isn’t Ann here? Is she waiting at the airport already?”
“She quit, and had a fight with Isabelle over the scandal. She’ll come around later” Roberto shrugged and Mario nodded, a devious plan hatching in his head.
Seven staff followed behind them, carrying two luggage each. The luggage was arranged and they entered the jet.
“We would leave the jet in the hangar and head to the hotel, the money would be taken care of” Roberto informed and Mario nodded.
Within two hours, the plane landed and they left for their hotel. They had reserved separate rooms and each departed.
Mario ordered two girls for the night and within minutes, they were in front of his room.
He opened the door, smiling widely as he ushered them inside.
Both girls were scantily dressed, they walked inside sexily and he held their waist.
“I want you to help me set someone up, they’re lots of money in it for you. The president is next door. All I want is a detailed, clear sex tape. Name your price” He offered.
Both girls exchanged glances, whispered to themselves and after deep consideration, the first spoke.Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.
“We want half a million dollars each”
“You’ll get double, I’ll forward half payment now and the remaining half when I get the video, the president would also reward you” Mario blurted and both girls smiled with pleasure, running their hands around his chest and lap.
He took his phone, made a transfer and showed them to the president’s room.
“Hey Ann, I knew you’d call, I’m in Canada so I’ll see you when I get back” Roberto replied sleepily, her call had woken him up. He touched the bed and couldn’t find any of the sluts that had visited his room.
“Really?! Wait until you check the headlines and see pictures of your dick gracing everyone’s screen!. What the hell did you do?” She yelled and his eyes widened.
“What do you mean?” He demanded and switched on the television. His eyes widened with horror as a clip of his sex with the two sluts appeared. Several reporters had something terrible to say.
A video of reporters struggling to get into the presidential palace was shown.
“Damn!” He cursed.
“Yea, damn is the right word. I was gone for just a day and you went on a wide sexcapade. You’d better get your ass down here and start thinking of a way to sway the public” She replied harshly and hung up.
“Ahh! Fuck those bitches!” He yelled, punching the wall. He rushed into the bathroom, had a quick bath and dressed up hurriedly. He met Mario waiting in his room, his countenance showed that he was aware of what had happened.
“How did it happen? I’ll get someone to look into the blog that posted that, and I’ll get someone else to track those girls” Mario promised and together they left the hotel.
The jet landed at the airport and they went through the secret passage to the underground parking lot.
A less fancy car was waiting for them and they boarded it to Roberto’s house. He got inside and sat on the couch, his head buried in his palms.
“Dad! Tell me the news about you isn’t true. Did you do that nasty and disgusting thing?” Isabelle requested, immediately she saw her father.
“Shut up young lady!” Her father snapped and she walked out, sneering at him.
“Oh, you’re back. I thought you would spend the rest of the week hiding there” Ann mocked, strutting inside the house.
“Stop it, Ann, all we need to do now is find a solution, others can come late” Mario scolded and Ann glared at him.
“I have a plan already. I already got a blogger to take the blame and avert the whole situation, all I want is a position. I’m tired of being a mere secretary. I wanna be the minister of resources or information and education” She dropped and Mario glared at her.
“We can’t do that, it’ll cause lots of wagging tongues” Mario countered.
“It won’t cost anything, I’m not asking you to dethrone the current minister, I wanna be the next one” Ann attacked.
“Enough! Ann you would be made a minister, just tell me the solution”
“But..”
“No buts Mario, this blogger would come out and with a sex tape that’s similar to yours but with a different man, he would also create an edited chat between your rival and another blogger, stating that they set you up and want to tarnish your image” Ann disclosed.
“Is it going to work?”
“Yes! This blogger is a pro, he’s going to make everything smooth” Ann promised and Roberto nodded
Ann made a few calls and scheduled an interview with the press.
“Let’s head to the conference room, we have a meeting with the press, all you have to do is defend yourself, leave the rest to me” They left for the conference room.
After all the pleasantries, Roberto cleared his throat. “I know nothing about the video circulating on the internet”
“Are you saying that the person in that video isn’t you even when we saw your face clearly?”
“Yes, this is a complete set up and I can assure you that my team would expose that person. This is a big blow to control, it’s a deliberate act by someone who doesn’t like me to tarnish my image…” Roberto was saying when the doors flung open and two guards dragged a man inside, Ann coming in lastly.
“May I?” She requested with a bow and Roberto stepped back so she could talk.
“Hello, with the help of our technicians, trackers and hackers, we found the person who posted the video. Not only did we find the person, but we also found some hidden facts such as…” Ann announced, she paused for a minute, looking at the look of excitement on the face of every reporter.
“It’s the president’s predecessor, he has had a grudge against the president for some time now and has been doing everything to tarnish his image. We’ve been silent but this silence has to stop!…”
“That man was ordered to edit the real video, putting the face of the president instead. This is the real video” Ann confessed, holding up a flash drive. She handed it to a staff member who inserted it and a similar sex tape was displayed.
The crowd of reporters went wild with shock, excitement and horror as they filed out of the conference room. Many tried to speak with the president but weren’t given a chance.
“Thank you so much Ann, there’s nothing I can do without you” Roberto gratified.
“Yea, that’s true. But you could stop by and say hi to the kids, they miss you so much and are dying to see you again”
“Not now Ann, there’s a lot going on”
“The staff are busy and Mario isn’t here, why not make good use of the opportunity for a quickie. I’ve missed you so much” She purred, biting her lips seductively.
“But…”
“Shh..” She ordered, putting a finger on his lips while her second hand roamed his chest.
“Oh my goodness! Isn’t that Isabelle!” Two girls screamed immediately and they sighted Isabelle. She was handing a bag to an old woman in the subway.
“Let’s capture this, can’t believe I’m seeing Isabelle live now” The other said with excitement and began a live video. Within a few minutes, the video gained views and lots of people started heading to the subway.
Many reporters went to the subway to capture the moment, they were blocked by some guards.
The feelings of disgust and anger in Isabelle vanished when an old man wept as he collected the package, she felt pity for him and gave him a bundle of money.
She smiled as she handed gifts out to the others, feeling content and happy as she stared at the elated faces. She felt grateful to Alessandro for making her experience such a beautiful moment.
She walked out of the subway, waving at the crowd while reporters tried to have a word with her but weren’t given any chance.
Her heart was aglow with joy, she did a little thing but it was enough to make a great day.
“Fuck! Isabelle is trending” Ann muttered and Roberto joined her immediately, afraid that she might have done something terrible.
“Is this the real Isabelle? She’s trending for doing a good deed. What has come over her?” Ann demanded.
“There’s nothing wrong with her, as long as she isn’t doing anything to ruin my reputation I’m okay with whatever she does” Roberto countered and Ann frowned.
She walked out with her phone.
“Hey, what’s gotten over Isabelle? Why didn’t you tell me that she planned to give alms at the subway?” Ann fumed.
“She never told me anything. I was shocked when I saw the news, she’s closer to you, you should have known her next step” The voice countered.
“Fine. Try to find out what you can. I’ll get Lilian to do the rest” Ann announced and hung up. She made a few calls, went back and informed Roberto that she was heading somewhere.
