Anita’s Voice: Behind the Headlines

Chapter 1: All the way

“The angels shall be your guide as you embark on this wonderful journey darling. Nothing you seek will be difficult to get. Go well, you’re not alone my dear.” Grandma Walls blessed Anita as she accompanied her with the other family members to the car park.

“Thanks Grandma!”

“Sister I can wait to see you on the TV”

“Hope you won’t forget to report about me!”

They teased Anita as they went.Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.

Almost was moved to tears upon the idea that she would be leaving her family after so many years of living together.

“I will surely make you all proud of me!” she said, trying to dry of some tears.

“We are sure sister!”

“Here it is!”

A car that they had booked stopped at their front, waiting on Anita to enter.

Kissing them goodbye, she entered the car and it zoomed off. She was leaving Houston for good, she was sure.

After what seemed like forever, they left the park seeing as the car was no longer in sight.

Anita felt bad at first but when she got to some point, she felt grateful to be able to make this move.

As the car passed by, she enjoyed the view of the city.

She was heading to her dream city to pursue her dream career.

From a distance in the car, she could already spot the glitz and glamorous New York City.

Smiling, this was the beginning of her life’s journey. She wasn’t going to joke with it for even a bit.

New York City is the largest and most influential American metropolis, the most populous and the most international city in the country, going there was the best decision she could make for herself.

California

Andre sat on his chair in his study room, as he listened to a voice tape his assistant had just brought in.

“What do you expect? What makes you think I’m doing this for love? Hell no! I’m only getting in to get some cash. Once my mission is accomplished, I’m out!”

He then smiled, he was not surprised. This was typical of the girls in this city.

Placing his left hand on his jaw, he went into a deep thought. He needed a way out. He needed a wife to go into another level. He needed to get the inheritance but with a genuine person.

A thought then came into his mind. Picking up his phone, he dialed his assistant’s phone number.

“Come see me now!” He said, hanging up the phone.

Picking up the glass of wine on his table, he made his way to the balcony.

Andre stood at the centre of the luxurious balcony, placed one hand into his pocket while he sipped his wine, having a beautiful view of the mesmerizing scenery.

He thought about what he had in mind, wondering if it would work out cool. He could not back off, once his mind accept something, it means it’s worth doing.

He had got to give it a try.

Not too long after, his assistant made his way into the building. Cass went straight up the stairs to his study room and pushed the door open.

On seeing that his master wasn’t in, he decided to check the balcony.

On reaching there, he smiled as he bowed.

“Master Andre!”

“You took long!”

“I’m sorry Master!”

Turning to face his assistant, “follow me!” he said, going back into the study room.

Andre sat down and drafted a few things down on a paper. After that, he passed it to Cass.

Cass took the paper immediately and went through it.

When he read what was written on the paper, he froze.

Looking up at his master, “Master!”

“That’s what I have to do. There’s no other choice.”

Get everything needed ready. Let me know when you’re set.

“Yes Master!” Cass said and stood up to leave. He to had no other option. He didn’t blame his boss.

The only thing he could do for him was to support his decisions, nothing less.

In a few hours later, everything was set.

Andre appeared out of his room, looking like a cheap staff. The clothes were simple regular clothes that anyone could buy, making him look so normal. The footwear was just a not so good slippers. His hair looked a bit tattered.

“Master, can we really do this? If the rest should see this, I won’t be spared.”

“What do you mean Cass. Are you now doubting my decisions?”

“Never Master!”

“Then keep shut and let me do my mind.”

“Yes Master! Master, the car you asked me to prepare is ready.”

“We are good then.”

Like that, Andre transformed into an ordinary man.

Cass got changed as well as they entered the simple car and left the mansion. Without informing anyone, they made their way to New York City.

If this is what it will take for me to have peace of mind, I’m willing to. I hope this works out. Andre said to himself as he watched the scenic view.

New York City

Anita had already gotten to New York City, as she lodged in a simple apartment.

Thank goodness for her friend Kate. If it wasn’t for her, she probably wouldn’t have been there.

Kate and Anita had been best friends from childhood. Due to Kate had lost her parents, she had to leave Houston to start a new life in New York, living with her boyfriend.

If she had not reconnected with her over the phone, her dreams of moving to New York City would have only remained a dream, nothing more.

“Girlie, you look so beautiful. Wow!” Kate gushed over Anita.

“Don’t tease me. You look amazing, I should be gushing over you.” Anita replied smiling.

“Hahaha! So, this is the apartment I helped you find. Simple yet classy and affordable.” Kate said as she started showing the place to Anita.

“Thanks a lot girl! I have no idea what I would have done without you.” Anita said, looking at her so gratefully.
