Never Again Yours (Isadora and Magnus)

Chapter 44

“Alright, alright, superstar.” Isadora asked, “Hey, superstar, do you know anyone who can get in touch with Victor? Or know how to reach him?"

"You're looking for Victor? The heir to the Fitzgerald family over in Capitolion?"

"That's right."

Nanette tapped her nails thoughtfully. "I wish I knew him too. If the Fitzgerald family ever invested in my movie, I'd go international overnight. But there's this supporting actress, Patricia Brooks, who never shuts up about him on set-just because she's from some big family, she acts like she's besties with Victor."

"I vaguely remember her saying the heir spends a lot of time at Stratus Manor." "Stratus Manor? You mean the one perched at the top of Northcrest Hill?"

That whole ridge was lined with luxury estates, but above the halfway point, there was only one mansion-

Stratus Manor.

Everyone in Capitolion knew the Fitzgeralds owned everything up there.

Something about the conversation struck Nanette as odd.

"Wait, Isadora, why are you suddenly asking about another man? What happened to Magnus?"

"Oh, I forgot to tell you. We broke up."
