6- Where Are You

"With all due respect, I've been dealing with calls from her critics, directors, and the media. They want your response."

Storm paused. "What? Why wasn't I informed about this?"

"I try to tell you, but if you say anything to do with the media or your wife, I have to deal with it. I tell them you're busy like I always do." Viane walked over and was about to say something, but stopped.

"What's this?" 

"Haven't you seen any of her audition videos or pieces?" 

"No. I didn't even know the heal she could act and model!" He was on the point of throwing a tantrum, pissed off. His wife had a completely different life, and he knew nothing about it. Viane goes to the laptop and Storm slumps into a chair. Before him, Viane loaded a web page and hit play.

"Believe me, this movie is worth seeing. Lots of life lessons and entertainment."

For the next 15 minutes, he listened to his wife talk to her audience and show a passion he never showed for him. Her eyes were shining, and there was an energy and enthusiasm about her that he had never seen before.

She looks like a different person to him completely!

"Did you know this?" 

Viane's face turned red. 

"Tell me, Viane." As his cousin, as well as his secretary, was the only family member he consider, and Storm entrusted everything to her. 

"My daughter watches every one of her movies and waits for the next episode of her series and shows. She's good at acting and honestly, Storm, she's an amazing actress."

Running a finger over his lower lip, he scrolled through the list of movies, clicking on them one by one. He is too busy to watch some TV shows, series, and movies. In the end, he doesn't know anything about his wife and what happens to her.

Viane leaves the office to answer the phone. Storm is so angry right now, he can't get his mind together. He clicked on another video and watched her wife's historical film. Her acting skills are amazing and powerful. As far as he was concerned, she was charming on screen.

Scrolling down the screen, he clicked on the link to her website and started browsing through all of her recent updates. There are photos of the book in which she starred in a movie adaptation. , and the places she's going to shoot for her next project. He also noticed that whenever he was mentioned, she always changed the subject. The interview he just saw was actually filmed a few days ago and is only now going live.

He needs to talk to her. He stood up, told Viane where he was going, and walked out of his office. It wasn't his style to leave work halfway through the day, but he just couldn't sit and watch his wife run around on the Internet. This should be something he knows.

In fact, he has always put Viane in charge of his wife's affairs. Like Aira, he doesn't want to get married, and while at work, he refuses to meddle in her problems like her to his businesses. When they first got married, he really believed that she would be different from him. Aira is cold. She didn't talk to him, talking to her has been a chore.

He didn't take the time to get to know her. His father and her brother told them they were getting married and he had done what needed to be done for his twin brother. He controls four multi-billion dollar companies, and he's too busy to spend time with his wife. 

"You also took other women out to dinner."

Storm wonders if Aira has seen the gossip about his alleged affair. He wasn't having any affairs, not at all. The women he'd met, he'd just gone out to dinner. Some of these models were part of his company's advertisements. Part of his company deals with the media. He has lots of different tea in his cup and he loves them. Some women are the daughters of politicians and business associates he needs to socialize with.

Climbing into his expensive top-of-the-line car, he drives towards the house, which is too cold for him. He grabbed the key and turned it in the lock. 

"Aira?" he called her name, shocked by the silence in the house. Entering the living room, he saw that the chair was covered with a white sheet.

"What the hell is going on here?" He headed for the kitchen, bare again. Opening the refrigerator, he saw that it was empty, so he turned it off. He took out his mobile phone and called the butler. After the butler answered, he asked a lot of questions. 

"Sir, I was hired to take the sheets off the furniture, lower the beds and fill the fridge with food."

"Nothing else?" 

"Nothing else."

Aira doesn't live here. Where the fuck does his wife live now? He calls Vianne. His cousin and secretary are the only person he trusts for things like this.

"Damn girl, you're so talented in this scene. I mean, you've taken your acting to the highest level, you've shown the real emotion a character should show during the situation she's in, just wow."

When Kendrick keeps describing her acting, Aira laughs. Obviously he enjoyed her latest performance in the film. According to her manager, Leo, everything went well.

After her starring role in the film adaptation of not that famous book, the book sold well and the interviews with her went well. Leo believes there may be another series in a few months because people are talking about her and her skills. The only downfall of her projects and shows is her husband, Storm. Once he knows what she's up to.

Leo explained that the next shoot will be in Singapore. It was a big project, and they wanted to interview Storm to find out what he thought of her acting career. They will expect Storm. Her manager is aware of her relationship with Storm, and Aira has no choice but to explain their situation. She never lied to anyone and used her name to get what she wanted.
