2024-10-29 19:42:56"Well..." the director, Mr. Bellamy said, rising from his chair on the other side of the table and slowly walking towards Rina, who was on the verge of hopping out of her chair from discomfort.
"As you might already know, a lot of things have changed in your five years of being a housewife. So I thought it best to inform you..." Rina cringed as she felt both his hands on her shoulders. Immediately, she hopped out of her seat. "Get your filthy hands off me," she ordered, irritated by the thought of what the man was about to do. "Mr. Bellamy," she said, her voice cold and firm. "I came here to discuss a role, not to be propositioned. I won't be part of your sick games." Mr. Bellamy's smile vanished, replaced by a sneer. "You think you're too good for this? Too good for me?" Back then when she was an A-list Actress, maybe. But now... He returned to his seat and leaned back in his chair, eyes narrowing. "With your current reputation, you still dare to act high and mighty? You're no longer the esteemed signee of Scottsdale entertainment, do you still dare to carry that attitude? You'll never make it with that attitude of yours." Rina stood her ground. "I'd rather leave this industry with my dignity intact than give in to your disgusting demands." Mr. Bellamy's face contorted with anger, he slammed his fist on the desk. "You ungrateful little bitch," he spat. "Get out of my office. Your career is as good as dead." Rina didn't flinch. She turned on her heel and walked out, her head held high. As she exited the office, she felt a mix of fear and anger. Fear of what her new fate had installed for her. And anger at the director's audacity. In the past, no one tried to treat her poorly. Everyone respected her, both young and old. She had started as a child star and had grown into a game, hence she never faced such harassment in her ten years in the industry. But today, that old hag had dared to touch her! She was going to regain her position and teach him a lesson. Once outside, she pulled out her phone and dialed her agent's number. George was in a meeting with the media department of TL Groups, finalizing an ambassadorial deal for one of the actors under him. Seeing Rina's call, he excused himself to answer it. "Rina, how did the meeting go?" he asked, his voice a small whisper. He was standing in one of the large corridors of the company's building, where several staff members were walking past him. After the scandal two years ago, Rina's name had become a silent stigma in the entertainment industry. Now with the new scandal, she had overnight turned into a curse within the industry. George couldn't afford to say her name out loud for the sake of his signee's future and the other new acts under him. "Not as expected," Rina said, her voice calm and clear. "He asked for something in exchange." Rina needn't say more, George clearly understood what she meant. In the entertainment industry, nothing goes for nothing. In the past, Rina had been at the top and so unreachable to artists and ordinary directors. Plus, she had started as a child actress, Hence, she had never experienced that side of the entertainment industry. Now that she was down and in need, these lowly directors wanted to take advantage of her. Thinking about this, George felt his blood boil. "That bastard. Are you okay?" "I will be," Rina replied rather calmly. "That's good," George said. "Let's talk later, I'm in the middle of something. Take care of yourself and do not go reading comments online." Rina nodded and said, "mm!" Then she hung up the phone. That afternoon, as soon as she left the director's office, her phone was bombarded with notifications. A sense of foreboding suddenly washed over her. She quickly took out her phone and realized they were all push notifications from various marketing accounts on I*******m and TikTok. Then she watched as the hashtag #Rina Power's comeback# quickly climbed up the trending list, pushing down the previously top trending hashtags, #Rina Powers' cheats# And #Rina Powers' Divorce# Following closely behind it was another. #Rina Powers' dirty deal# Seeing these, fear gripped Rina's heart. She clicked on the hashtag and saw photos of her disguised and entering a low-level hotel. With her current reputation and the trending news of her cheating and divorce, this photo was enough to make netizens speculate. 'Gosh! This woman, has she no shame?' 'Tsk! Tsk! Rina Powers is a cheap bitch.' 'So sad. I never knew Rina Powers had such disgusting traits in her. So shameless!" 'Y'all, how many people have had a taste of Rina Powers so far? She's industry property now, I think everyone will have a taste of her soon." 'Can someone be this shameless? She has no self-respect or dignity left. And she still dares to desire a comeback?' Seeing the news, Rina's heart sank. She didn't have the heart to read through the comments section. She knew they'd be terrible. Seeing how this was online, it was obvious someone had tailed her down here. Other than George, Mr. Bellamy, and herself, who else could have known about her schedule? Had Mr. Bellamy planned this? Thinking about this, Rina gritted in anger, her fingers curling into tight fists. ************* "What! Rina is making a comeback?" In the exclusive waiting room in Scottsdale Entertainment, Kayla Reese suddenly stood up, her eyes blazing with fury. How was this possible? Rina Powers was currently an outcast in the entertainment industry. Wherever her name was said, a disgusted remark usually followed. Yet, she was thinking of making a comeback. "Y-yes!" Kayla's assistant, Lisa, stuttered, frightened as she handed the phone to Kayla. "The news was released just a few minutes ago!" Kayla snatched the phone from her assistant rudely. And when she saw the number one trending hashtag? Her fingers curled into tight fists. Rina Powers! What game was she playing? "Miss Reese, what do we do now?" Her assistant couldn't help asking. Five years ago, before retiring to become a supportive housewife, Rina Powers was the queen of Scottsdale entertainment and the entire entertainment industry in country A. Now she was making a comeback, would she threaten Kayla's position as the new queen? Kayla took a deep breath and returned to her seat. Making a comeback five years ago would have been possible when she still had a clean slate and her loyal fans. But now, with the scandal from two years back, and the current scandal of infidelity and Rina's trending divorce everywhere on the internet, making a comeback? Right now, she was just a wagged-out actress with zero resources and no backing. Whether she could successfully make a comeback was still a matter open to debate. And so what if she successfully makes a comeback?' Kayla thought to herself. "She doesn't scare me." In the past, she was a hotshot with various resources at her disposal. But after her scandal broke out, everyone turned on her like a pack of wolves, tearing her down to her lowest and taking all that she had. Her resources, her talent, and her fans. All those who had stepped on her back were currently big shots in the industry. Would they allow her to make a successful comeback despite their past mistreatment? A sinister smile spread across Kayla's lips. "Rina Powers, bring it on."Related chapters

Zayn Graham slammed his fist on the mahogany desk, his eyes blazing with barely contained fury. His step-brother Jared had done it again - another reckless move that threatened to topple Zayn's carefully built business empire. "What were you thinking, Jared?" Zayn growled. "Signing off on that deal without my approval could cost us millions!" Jared, all 300 pounds of him, merely shrugged as he lounged on the leather sofa, munching on a bag of chips. "Relax, little bro. It's just business. Win some, lose some." Zayn took a deep breath, trying to calm his racing heart. At 32, Jared was one year his senior, but acted like an impulsive teenager. As one of the managing directors of Graham Industries, a multinational conglomerate spanning tech, real estate, and media, Zayn had worked tirelessly to build the company into a powerhouse.

Rina's eyes fluttered open, her vision blurry as she tried to focus on her surroundings. The stark white ceiling and antiseptic smell told her she was in a hospital. As her senses slowly returned, she became aware of a dull ache throughout her body, particularly intense in her lower abdomen. Memories flooded back. She had been so focused on her comeback in the Scottsdale entertainment industry that she had ignored the warning signs her body had been sending. The occasional sharp pains, the unexplained fatigue, the dizzy spells - she had attributed it all to stress and pushed through. Now, as she lay in the hospital bed, Rina realized how foolish she had been. The doctor's words echoed in her mind: internal haemorrhaging due to complications from her recent miscarriage. She had been walking around, putting her body through immense stress, all while bleeding internally. As her vision cleared, Rina's gaze fell upon a figure seated beside her bed. Her breath caught in her throat as she

The steady beep of medical equipment and the faint bustle of nurses in the hallway were like a consolation to Rina's troubled thoughts. She couldn't shake the memory of Zayn Graham’s intense gaze, the way his presence seemed to fill the entire room. Just as she was beginning to convince herself that the whole interaction had been a fever dream, the door to her room creaked open. Rina jerked, her heart racing as she recognized the tall figure of Zayn Graham stepping back into the room."Mr. Graham," she said, her voice betraying surprise and wariness. "I thought you'd left."Zayn's lips curved into a slight smile. "I did, but I realised I forgot something important."Rina's eyebrows frowned. "What did you forget?"Instead of answering immediately, Zayn moved further into the room, his steps measured and deliberate. His eyes never left Rina's face, and she found herself unable to look away. There was something in his gaze that she couldn't quite decipher – a hunger, perhaps, or a chall
A Broken Ex Wife's Revenge A Glimmer Of Hope
Rina brushed her long black hair and packed it into a ponytail. She dabbed the powder applicator on her face, trying to look as best as she could before leaving her apartment. She smoothed the lines on her dress with her hand before walking away from the mirror and closing the door behind her. She was set to get herself a deal in one of the industries again, re-write her past and rise in influence once again. She had always fought for what she wanted from life and she wasn't going to back down now. Even though Zayn had proposed her marriage on his return, she didn't want to accept the fact that he was her only ticket to influence and good-fame once again in the city. She alighted from the cab and stood in front of a modern studio. Taking a deep breath, she walked into the studio. Ignoring the eyes of the onlookers, the whispers in hushed tones. She made her way for the producer's office. George Stone had helped her get an appointment with him a day ago. "Ms. Powers." The produce
A Broken Ex Wife's Revenge Stolen Role
Kayla paced around anxiously, her mobile phone clasped tightly between her fingers. She was in her private dressing room at the set of a movie and had just received a call from one of her many sources. Rina had gotten the lead female role in a potential movie. If she were to successfully feature in that movie, it was one step out of many into returning to the industry. She couldn't allow that.She smoothed her hair roughly and forced herself into the sofa beside the table, placed her phone on the table and stared at it for a while as if it was what determined her future. After the prolonged silence in her room, she picked up the phone again and dialled a number, the phone buzzed a couple of times and the line was connected soon enough. Kayla cleared her throat and donned on a fake smile despite the turmoil brewing in her. "Hello, Justin, it's Kayla. Are you busy? I was hoping we could talk.”"What is going on?" Justin King asked. He was the son of one of the ruling families in the

The sun was out early that Saturday morning and Rina was already at the studio, awaiting her turn for the audition of the female lead role.She didn't realise that she left her house earlier than supposed until she got to the studio and met only the prop masters who were setting the stage and props to be used for the day.Max wasn't in sight yet so she decided to sit on one of the empty chairs and wait for him.None of the prop masters spared her a conversation but it didn't bother her as she also wanted to be left alone with her thoughts. With the turn outs of events, she had decided to inform Zayn about her lack of interest in their deal when he returned back from his business trip.

A Broken Ex Wife's Revenge Something Else?
Rina sat by the window of her home, staring at nothing in particular. She could hear the world go by - the flowing traffic of distinct people, wrapped up in their bubbly worlds. Of course, there were the others, the vengeful ones that lurked in the comment sections of blogs and social media posts, scratching out their vile nails and clawing deep enough to draw blood. But they weren't the ones to blame and Rina Powers knew that. She leaned on the window sill, her features hardening. The faces flashed in her face - Kayla and Finn. She handed them her lives in trust and they mangled it beyond recognition. And now, she was subject to this; hiding out in her cottage, the only glimpse she had of her taken through her ears. Rina laughed out loud, the sudden melancholic sound breaking through the fragile silence. It sounded foreign to Rina too, almost like a new person had been birthed from her loins. Her bare feet touched the floor as Rina strolled into the kitchen. She gazed at the carton

“I don’t think I can sign a contract blindly.” It was the first time Rina had spoken since the commencement of the meeting. “It’s the pattern of relation with every other production house I have worked with. At least, I need to know the genre of movie I am going to be employed for at sets. It's easier that way to make informed decisions. Do you not agree, George?”Her manager nodded with glee. “That is the policy we operate with. And considering how urgent it seemed from our last correspondence, I think we can just hasten things up in here with more details concerning the movie.”The woman spoke next. “You are going to star as the lead actress,” she muttered, confirming George’s speculation. “And that means a lot of attention is going to be on you.”Rina didn’t know the reason she felt like they were stalling, but it was there, persistent and strong. The young man’s eyes darted to the door, as if for help, but it remained strongly shut, making a mockery of his plea.“You are going to

The ceiling-to-floor length window allowed the warmth of the sun rays, to soak into the oddly quiet room. The golden hues created a soft glow on Rina’s face and she closed her eyes briefly, allowing it to go through her. If the situation had been any different, she might have left a comment about how the location of the production company seemed to have been strategically placed, that even though the room was bare, save the sparse furniture in the middle, it still gave that warm aura it was meant to. The chill she had felt first in the room had been dispelled by the sunlight, and Rina found herself relaxing.But not George. He had stared at the watch on his wrist a million times already, wondering when the meeting would commence. His eyes darted to the door at intervals, waiting for the person the rest of the team had mentioned they were expecting. But it remained shut, the fine polish enjoying the glow of the sun too. He sighed in his seat, albeit inaudibly so he wouldn’t ruin Rina’s

Rina was outside the building the following day, staring up at the white walls. They looked really enticing from out there, the floor-length windows creating an aura, like they were stuck in the depths of modernization and making no move to return to the past. The name of the production house was written in fine calligraphy above the building, big enough for everyone to see while walking past. There was something about the name -Allure, but Rina didn’t give it too much thought. She was just so excited about the prospects of being back on screens.Looking at her rearview mirror for the umpteenth time, Rina touched the perfect curls of her hair and angled her head to ensure the makeup was not one hair out of place. Even though she knew she was capable of wowing the directors away, it still took her back to the very first audition she’d attended, before she got scouted by Scottsdale Entertainment. She remembered the nerves that had worked their way into her bones and threatened to ruin e

It was hard avoiding him in the same building, as even though he’d been doing so since he confessed his feelings, it just felt different this time. She could feel his presence, looming in the hallways, yet she never bumped into him. Even as she told the models it would be her last day working with them, she half-expected to see his intense eyes by the door, watching with a scowl on his face. That would have been better than the last look he’d directed her way on the first floor earlier that day. It made the hair on the back of Rina’s head stand.However, the worries about Joel soon got immersed with the others when George sent her another email. It was a confirmation message from the production house, scheduling the following day for the meeting to discuss the terms of their contract and how long it would subsist. Rina didn’t think it would be that soon, as she had already planned on spending the day indoors.Her fingers hovered above the call icon, but George was faster as the phone

“I wonder what that was about,” Joel murmured as he stepped in through the doors. Rina had been deep in a conversation with the photographer, so he met her in the hallway. She peered at him, noting the worry lines on his face.“Is it some of my anti-fans?” They were always up to something, so Rina didn’t doubt the possibility of them causing some trouble with Joel. It was all the more reason she needed to get moving.“It’s Mr. Graham. I met him outside and he seemed so … I don’t know, angry. Like I’d done something wrong. Remember when we got into that contract and I told you it felt like he was constantly attacking me? It felt like we were back on that page. I was going to schedule a meeting to split the output from the fashion show, but he didn’t even want to hear it. He asked me to keep it all.”If Joel had paid close attention, he would have seen the sudden change in Rina’s eyes, how they watched him with an emotion that bothered on pity. He would have figured out that she knew th

Zayn navigated through the traffic, drumming his finger on the steering at intervals. Returning to the country had been a spontaneous decision he had made the previous night, weighing the cons and pros in his head before calling the pilot to prepare the jet for take-off. Graham Conglomerates had already been launched over there, but there were a few things that were left before business could begin, but he’d decided to leave it to Mago to handle.“What are you thinking about?” Rina asked quietly. He had felt her eyes on him since they left the villa, but for the first time, Zayn wasn’t certain of what to say to her. He felt himself pulled under by some feelings he couldn’t decipher, and now, he felt his principles crumbling. Years, and even months ago, Zayn never believed in love. He saw it as the unnecessary release of chemicals, that only ended up doing more harm than good. But now, something had changed. It was… Zayn shook his head abruptly, refusing to accept it.“Nothing,” he mur

The next day, Rina got a forwarded mail from her manager while getting ready for work. She opened it once, her eyes reading the message in one glance. She heaved a sigh of relief, going through the details again. The phone vibrated in her hands, and she picked up the call at once.“George, I got the mail. What do you think?”“I received it late last night and had to research the production house first before sending it to you. They are legit, and the best news is you wouldn’t have to leave the country to work for them since they are a local production house. If it is something you want to do, I can reach out to them to schedule a meeting on your behalf.”“Yes,” Rina nodded. “I trust your judgment. Since you’ve done your research, I can go ahead with it. It will at least, keep me busy until something else comes along. And the longer I stay at O.S.N fashion house, the more I put Joel’s business on the line. He doesn’t want to admit it, but I know his sales are suffering because of me. P
A Broken Ex Wife's Revenge An Unknown Painter
The gallery suddenly seemed to be devoid of people, even if their chatter had gone up a notch. She drowned out the noise unconsciously, unnerved by the looks in their eyes. “Seen what?” Rina looked from Isaiah to George, wondering what that was about. It didn’t seem like something she would be ecstatic to find out, but then again, Rina knew there hadn’t been enough ecstasy in her life since the spread of the rumors started.“Didn’t you see the people gathered at the entrance of the gallery?”“The oil paintings lining the wall?” She angled her head, even if anxiety was eating away at her.George nodded, then sighed. “I think it's best you see it yourself. I must warn you though, there’s nothing joyous about it.”“There’s nothing joyous about what my anti-fans think of me,” Rina murmured, allowing George to lead the way while Isaiah came up at the rear. The small crowd that had gathered parted ways and whispers graced their lips as the trio approached the line of paintings. They stopped
A Broken Ex Wife's Revenge Clueless
It had been a few days since Rina’s confrontation with Regina at Scottsdale Entertainment and what she had been trying to avoid still happened. There were videos everywhere, circulating like wild fire.Almost every person in the country knew that she had been banned from stepping feet into that building, and it didn’t help that she had to go to work every day with certain people who entirely believed the rumors on the internet. Even if Joel had warned them not to do anything against her, it still didn’t stop the glares getting sent her way.Rina was taking the development remarkably well as she still went about her usual daily activities. She had brought some of her stuff at the cottage down to the villa, and no longer had to use the items she had met in the closet. It was one of her greatest reliefs as she hadn’t let go of the fact that even though Zayn told her no one else had been in there, there were traces that it had been a lie.Trying not to feel entitled or anything, she said
