Chapter 5 : Not Here

Chidi was able to lift her, he then placed her on the pool side and proceeded to resuscitate her, he was able to get all the water out of her lungs, Isabella coughed and coughed, everyone at the pool party clapped in mockery one of them said "wow that's my hero Chidi" and laughed, Chidi went to the m.c grabbed the microphone and said "the party is over everyone leave here now security do your job".

All the security men came running into the house were the pool party was being held and they politely sent everyone out of the premises one of the guests whispered to each other "because of that stupid girl in red i hate her" they all eventually left, meanwhile when Sergio came out of the house every one was gone he was surprised, he saw Isabella wet on a pool chair, he went to meet her.

Sergio asked a very tired and wet Isabella what happened Isabella could not talk instead she said "i want to go home oh chei what is this" she sneezed to remove water from her nose, Sergio dropped the glass and decided to take her home, when they got into the car Isabella started crying, Sergio did not comfort her, instead he started the engine.

Chapter 4 : I Can't Swim

Isabella waited in the school's garden for Sergio, she waited for atleast an hour before Sergio arrived in his Mercedes G-wagon she was so excited, she opened the door and got in the car, she shivered on the drive to the pool party, Sergio said "are you cold i can turn down the a.c", Isabella immediately said "no no i am okay" while shivering, when they arrived the destination, Isabella got out of the car, she was so surprised she had never seen so many rich faces in one place before.

As they both proceeded to enter the party, they all looked at Isabella and laughed, one of the rich girl's in attendance said "who is this one and what is she wearing" Isabella had never felt so humiliated in her life she decided to keep calm, Sergio brought her a drink in an expensive glass, Isabella did not know how to hold the glass, so it fell of her hand.

Sergio laughed and said "i would get you another glass don't worry" Sergio went to get another drink for Isabella, Isabella was standing so close to the pool when someone slightly nodged her on purpose, Isabella fell into the deep end of the pool, she screamed "i can't swim help, i can't swim" she was practically drowning and the guests at the pool party did nothing they were all laughing. Then Chidi dived into pool and rescued her.

Chapter 3 : Pool Party

Sergio was waiting for Isabella's reply she then said while touching her hair "i mean you did not ask me my name" Femi looked at her with disdain and said "who needs your stupid name just answer the damn question or leave her" they all laughed again almost falling to the ground, Isabella did not know how to swim and she did not have anything to wear she then said "okay i would attend the party". 

Sergio looked at her again and said "great were do i pick up from" Isabella was ashamed of Aisha's place so she said "pick me up here" Sergio laughed again with his friends, Femi then said "you leave in the school garden please leave this girl she's too bush abeg" they all laughed once again then Sergio said "okay i would pick you up here" with that they left.

Isabella was so happy she ignored the fact that Sergio and his friends had undermined her, what am i going to wear she thought to herself, she only had worn out clothes, she decided to borrow Aisha's favourite red dress, she begged and asked Aisha for the red dress Aisha eventually gave it to her. Isabella wore the red dress she looked a bit put together, she put her hair up in bun and wore her worn out sandals she then headed towards the school's garden to wait for Sergio.

Chapter 2 : School Days

Isabella was admitted into the Benue university to study business administration, it was one of the happiest days of her life, she was going to leave her wretched parents so she thought, who had worked hard to the bones to send her to school, Isabella never attended classes instead she would seat in the school's garden admiring those rich young boys.

Aisha would finish attending lectures and ask Isabella if she attended any classes, Isabella would lie to her and say "yes i did the class was so boring" Aisha did not believe her but she would say nothing, Aisha knew Isabella did not attend any classes, she had seen her a couple of times in the school's garden admiring those boys from rich homes.

Isabella decided that she was going talk to these rich boys, she gradually approached one of them called Sergio, Sergio was an international student who transferred from Russia, his parents had sent him to Benue university in Nigeria to learn some lessons about life because he was really stubborn and unruly it was either that or they would disown him, so Sergio decided to come to Nigeria, he was really good looking so were his other rich friends Skylar and Femi.

Sergio looked at Isabella and laughed so hard, he turned to his friends who were seated on their maserati and said "who is this one now" they all laughed at Isabella then a thought came to Sergio's mind he then said to Isabella "would you like to attend a pool party" his friends were shocked, Femi tapped him and said to him "what are you doing".

Chapter 1 : The Elite Pact

Isabella was a pretty young woman who was very ruthlessly, her whole life was about to be disrupted by some people called the elite pact, for once in Isabella's life she was really scared, what would they do to her if they caught her she thought to herself, Isabella arrived at her duplex packed a few things and hurriedly left for the airport.

She drove as fast as she could, she did want to miss her flight to Morocco that was the place she felt safe, Isabella did not come from a wealthy nor rich family, her father and mother were very poor, Isabella vowed she was going to break the poverty chain in her family by any means possible, so she played with fire.

Isabella arrived Benue in Nigeria seven years ago with nothing but a wretched suit case filled with old worn out clothes, she planned to stay with her friend Aisha for some time untill she was able to find a job while going to school, Isabella was not your average innocent girl, she was willing to do anything to make money, even if it meant sleeping with all the rich young boys on campus.

These boys were rich they drove the nicest cars, wore fancy designer clothes and even had lunch at the most expensive resturants, Isabella envied them so much that she wished she could be like them.
