Chapter 8 I'm Gonna Getcha Good!

New Zealand - Isabella/Chris's House - Later that Same Night

Isabella and her party had retired to their house. Isabella was up pacing the floor back and forth. All kinds of thoughts were running through her mind - Mona Lisa was probably all over Chris, what were they doing, why wasn't Chris home yet? It was 3 am in the morning.

Finally, she hears Chris coming in the door.

"What took you so long?" Isabella asks.

"What are you doing up?" Chris asks her.

"Waiting for you. What were you doing with her?" Isabella asks. Chris can tell that she's jealous and angry.

"Well, if I were screwing her, I wouldn't leave her bed until daybreak", Chris says.

"So, you didn't sleep with her?" Isabella asks.

"No, we were working on a new movie script. I'm going to produce her next movie", Chris says.

"Why?" Isabella asks.

"I want the best-selling movie of all time and with Mona Lisa I can reach that milestone", Chris says.

"How does it feel to think the one that you love could be making love to someone else? It doesn't feel too good, does it? You know how I felt when I saw those pictures of you with Johnny. It doesn't feel too good, does it?" Chris asks her.

"No it doesn't. I see your point. I'm sorry", Isabella says.

"I don't think you're sorry enough", Chris says.

"What do you mean by that?" Isabella asks.

"You'll see", Chris says as he leaves her to go to bed.

New Zealand - Isabella/Chris's House - Later that Same Day

Isabella had gotten up and went in search of Chris and Zak, but they were gone. Today was the beginning of Chris's two weeks with Zak. The only thing she found was this note:

Bella,

I've decided to take a page out of your book. I've taken Zak and left the country. We may be home in a few weeks or it may not be until spring. If you send the authorities after us, you'll never see either one of us again. After we arrive at our destination, I'll have Zak call you.

How does it feel to wake up in the morning and have your whole world turned upside down? It doesn't feel too good, does it? That's how I felt when you took Zak and went to Buffalo.

By the way, why are you jealous of Mona Lisa? Is it because she may be stealing your producer or is it because she may steal the man that you love?

Please think about it while I'm gone. I want to know your answer when we return because it's vital to our future - if we have one.

Chris

P.S. Please pay attention to the tabloid news media. I'll be making a lot of news shortly. They say what's good for the goose is good for the gander, so let's see if that's true.

Isabella couldn't believe it! He had taken Zak out of the country and without her permission! Where did he take Zak? Jean comes down and she can see Isabella is really upset. Isabella tells her what has happened.

"I don't know why you're surprised. You brought this on yourself. You had a good, smart, charming, sexy, loving husband and you left him. What did you expect him to do?" Jean asks.

"I sure didn't expect this. It's as if he's getting revenge on me", Isabella says.

"I think he's teaching you a lesson", Jean says.

New Zealand - Isabella/Chris's House - Two Days Later

Isabella had heard from Zak, but Chris didn't talk to her. She stayed tuned to the tabloid shows to try to find out what Chris's next move was going to be.
In fact she was watching a show at this moment as the announcer says:

"We have exclusive pictures of Mona Lisa arriving at JFK airport. You won't believe who she is with... She's arrived with the estranged husband of Isabella Smith - Chris Smith. They arrived at the airport hand-in-hand. They looked quite cozy.

Reports are that they arrived from Chris's New Zealand house. Reports are that they are going to rest in New York overnight and head to Florida with Mona Lisa's kids and Chris's son. They left in the same limo and headed to an exclusive hotel. When asked if they were lovers, Chris Smith said with a huge smile that they were just friends.

We attempted to contact Isabella Smith for comment, but her PR people are unable to reach her for comment.

We'll have another story about the Material Girl and her new man either tomorrow or the next day"

Isabella could see in the footage that Mona Lisa was all over Chris. She was furious. Isabella picked up the phone and made travel arrangements to....
