The couple drove in absolute silence, Jane had so much going through her mind that she dared not say out loud. Amidst the chaos of the day, Damon has put a little something in place for her, he was not sure of her taste hence it was nothing particular. She thought for a while and finally spoke up. “I know you want to take me out of this, but it is my mess and I want to clear it up alone. It does hurt and it will not bring me any satisfaction if they are let off the hook so quickly and easily. I want you to be in the dark, let me rise up and defend my name.” Damon could not help but admire the woman sitting right next to him. He did not object to her, he knew just how much she was hurting. No woman marries a man out of spite she must really be bottling so much in there. “I'm so honored you did not reveal our relationship, I know how important you are within this circle and things will definitely take a new turn if people should come to know you are my husband.” she was interrupted b
Damon and Jane got home in no time, the traffic in the district area wasn't as bad as that of center town. She was amazed at what her eyes could see. It wasn't just beautiful but breathtaking. A quiet neighborhood, well guarded and secured, the gate guard gave a simple bow to them when they drove by. Jane could not resist the urge to roll down the windows and let the air hit her in the face. It felt so good to be free, thinking of how her life has been in the last years, only fueled her anger even more. He felt good seeing her all relaxed and free-minded despite her Present situation. Damon soon pulled up to the driveway of a huge mansion, well-designed and spacious from the outside, she could see the extending garden from a mile away and the turn which led to the backyard. She stepped out with him, a maid came forward taking whatever was in the car and leaving without a sound. “Welcome home” she heard him wipers right below her neck as he pulled her in for a hug, to others this was
Jane could feel herself getting wet, with every inch he took, her breath seemed to seize ten times faster. “I will take my bath” She runs into the bathroom, and Damon smiles sheepishly behind her. He knew he had to take things slow with her, however, with the way she looked and how beautiful she was, it was going to be a hard journey. The phone goes off, right close to him, he takes a glance at the caller ID and it reads Dave. He picks up the phone and places the call on the loudspeaker. “Jane, what have you done? Where the hell are you? How can you make such when you know Leslie can't handle stress at the moment? Jane for fuck sake, she is your best friend and has health issues at the moment do you want her to die?” Damon listened carefully, he so much wanted to smash this bastard in the face however he had to play cool. E had made a promise to Jane not to interfere with the situation. “Hello sir, thanks for calling, Miss Jane is drunk as of the moment and we are closed, and trying
As the king of the mighty entertainment industry, Damon wondered how his wife would turn situations around in her favor. Jane knew just how dangerous her problem was, she waited for a while and soon Pamela arrived. Both ladies had a good chat while heading to the company, it was time for a good show.50 minutes Pamela and Jane arrived at the company just in time to see the legal committee of Dave Entertainment leaving Dave’s office. She was quickly approached. “Miss Jane, we are so happy you could make it today. In favor of the problem caused at the Galaxy show, we would like to chat with you in President Dave’s office.” The head of the Legal team, walked her to the office, while Pamela was refused access. Dave knew she was the one who leaked most of the information about Leslie online however he had no evidence to support his claims, he was ready to learn if she was in cohort with Jane or not. Jane walked through closely followed by others. The conference room was filled with the le
Every word that left Dave's mouth made Jane regret the years she had to spend on him even more. This was a man who promised to take care of her, a man who promised to love and no other, the same man she had to leave her loved ones for and fight against the world just to be with him, yet she is nothing but a sacrificial lamb in his eyes. On looking at her Dave realized the impact of his words and stretched out his hand to her but it was shoved away with so much strength making him struggle to keep his balance. “I know you are angry, but Jane you and everyone know just how we started, We have gone too far to lose everything we have gained over the years. Your career is over and we will soon get married so I really dont want you to ruin my career as well. Remember no man wants to marry a woman who will ruin his life” his words were quick, sharp, and peicing. Every inch of it hit her harder than the previous one, she was nothing to him but a punching bag, a player always to fall back on
Jane turned to Dave who looked more like a ghost, this was not what he wanted, his aim was to clear the name of the company and not have Jane break down in tears before the media. “‘Do you care to explain? She is my best friend, Dave, she is my friend, a sister, and you, my fiancee, choose to sleep around with her? How could you, how dare you, after everything we've been through”’ Jane held her heart as tears streamed down her face, Dave took out his and saw everything. It included pictures of him and Leslie, he had no idea someone had been following him secretly. “‘I …….I did not do anything, this is …..this is photoshopped”’ Jane laughed, yes she knew Dave better than anyone else, of course he was going to say such, she expected him to say it was all fake and such she was ready and prepared to handle everything. “‘Okay, I trust you and Leslie, there is no way you will betray me, we can test the authenticity of these photos. Please anyone can help”’ some of the reporters and viewer
Dave felt his face flush red in embarrassment, he could not believe he got it wrong. “I have been under some stress lately, I am sorry I forgot”’ Jane just stared at him, she knew he had never cared about her and knew nothing about her likes and dislikes. They went on to have their meal. When they were done Dave sat her down, he wanted to have a serious chat with her, he was aware of her emotional state and knew just a little bit of coaching would put her and him on the right track. “Jane, we have been out in the social world for a very long time and I believe you know a thing or two. You know I can't cheat on you not to mention with Leslie who is your best friend. What you saw online is just rumors and I did take those pictures but it was all for a cruise, it is nothing and I have never seen Leslie in that light. You know as her coach, I will do anything to make her go up, you know she is the best we have in the company right now and must do anything to make her safe and protect her
They drove to a 5-star restaurant. She has had a meal here in the past a couple of times and she enjoyed their food, but Dave did not like spicy meals hence she did not visit as often as she would love to. She has always kept that before her, she made sure to give him everything and has never considered herself without making sure he was comfortable and in good condition before she dared do anything for herself. She signs out loud. “What's wrong?”’ Damon could not help but ask, he knew she had so much on her mind. As much as she did not want to make Dave a topic of discussion, he could not help but notice some things were still not sitting well with her. “‘You want to talk about it?” he asked her, he reached out his hands and caressed hers. “‘It okay to be hurt, it is okay to want to talk about it. I want you to be comfortable after work and to feel free with me”’ Jane smiled at him, she knew deep down he had found the perfect man, he was nothing like the world described him to be. H
Everyone was gone as Dave was busy with getting things ready for Leslie and Kelly was rather focused on finding a newcomer who looked more like Jane and with similar features. They were going to use Jane to promote the new commercial. But while everyone was looking out for each other, Leslie was rather in a world of her own. Her paranoia had gotten to the highest level. She wanted fame at every cost and her words were enough to make Nathan stand at a freezing point for minutes not sure of how to react. ‘’Book me an appointment after the night Galaxy event, I can't have anyone getting to know of this baby”’ ‘’what?’’ That was all Nathan could bring out of his mouth. His brain suddenly left him. Secretly he was envious of Jane, she had managed to reach great heights without the help of Dave. To top it up she has not only succeeded in standing tall and moving ahead but also done so with all the troubles Leslie and Dave have put her through. Nathan did not see the same path for Leslie
Jane had to wake up alone. Damon was long gone but not without leaving a note for her. On the note he made sure to inform her of who would be walking her down the red carpet while also letting her know the relationship of Pamela and Edward may be none on that day. While Edward and Pamela were both only employees to Damon and Jane in the eyes of the public, they were more than that in private. Edward and Pamela knew of the risk they were taking and as such were more than happy to let Damon know ahead of time so as not to cause an even bigger problem for Jane. Jane stayed all day at home going through her page, it had been a while since she last logged in and her fans were more than happy to have her. While they all asked the same question, if she was attending the Galaxy event, Jane was wise enough to give short answers and only mention she would be busy that night shooting for Lookious magazine. Her fans felt disappointed but supportive. While Jane was live catching up with her
While Jane had given up on asking Pamela where they were headed and just sat in the car patiently. Unlike if it would have been another which would have made her worry, Jane was more relaxed as she closed her eyes to get some rest. She still had some shootings of Mrs. Carter to take care of before the Galaxy night event and knew devious entertainment would be on her case to make sure she was not attending. Once the car came to a halt, Jane opened her eyes not sure why Pamela had brought her to her biggest shopping mall in the country in broad daylight. She was scared her fans would recognize her. ‘’Don't worry, I had this prepared for you”’ Pamela tells her handling a bag. Jane had more than one question in the end but chose not to ask. She quietly slipped to the back of the car and put on the jean shorts and crop top with a facemask and a hoodie. The look was something very new to her as it had been years since she dressed as such. She was more of a fan of modest dressing but see
While Jane walked out, the words of Dave made him stop in her tracks but not turn. ‘’Why don't you take a break and revert from the path of vengeance then things will be even better. You will drown yourself’’ Jane could only carry her lips up. Since they knew she was going to drown, there was no need to ask for help. ‘’As I drown I want you to do nothing but watch, do not save me for you don't have the capabilities to do so’’ She turned her head slightly to the trash and her torn invitation had still not been taken out. Was it revenge she wanted or fairness? All she wanted was for them to give her what was hers but they have always chosen to double-cross her. How can he call her actions revenge, when he had never treated her with any fairness? Jane did not stop in her tracks as she went ahead. She felt it was rather amusing how they were all pretending to be looking out for her now when they were certainly the ones going to drown. Dave of all people was going to drown in the water
Jane and Pamela had a great time just watching Damon and Edward go about with their work since no one was allowed to say a word or spread rumors, Jane was even more relieved as she lay on the couch and watched her man work. When it was time to head home, Edward drove Pamela who was visibly tired from all the work she had to take care of during their shooting. While Jane and Damon drove home, he glanced through the biggest event in the entertainment industry which was upcoming. ‘’So you and Leslie would be attending, have you chosen an outfit or do you need help with it?’’ Damon asked Jane who turned to him with a perplexed expression. ‘’What are you talking about? Where would I go be going with Leslie?’’ Jane asked not sure if she understood what her husband was hinting at. There was no way she would be willing to share a stage with Leslie again as she had done with Lookious. She was aware of how great she was and Leslie did not stand the chance to be even a backup of hers. If D
Once Leslie and Dave were at the office, Kelly was quick to present them with the invitations. “‘Why is that of Jane in the trash?’’ Leslie had noticed the invitation of Jane was not only in the trash but also torn. ‘’An upcoming artist who is too proud of who he dragged and will make it even easier for her to fall. Dave now that Leslie is doing better, I think we have a better chance’’ Kelly could not hold back herself. She was so obsessed with controlling others and saw this as a chance to step on Jane like she should have done long ago when they were in Belgium. ‘’What do you want me to do? She is the most earning artist the company has now and it is going to be difficult to convince the board to lay her low”’ Dave squeezed his hands together not sure of what Kelly was hinting at. “‘She may be the top earner, but if they get to know she has plans of leaving I think they would reconsider and go for an artist who would be here for an even longer time and also invest more into th
Despite everything Leslie did and was willing to do, not once did Nathan think of judging her. She was his employer and he understood what she was going through. While her biggest rival was having a blast in her career, Leslie's was falling at a rather questionable rate. As they drove home, Leslie looked through the window trying hard to forget, but how could she forget the hands of Mr Will on her body? She felt so disgusted and angry. ‘’I am doing all this because you've pushed me to the edge but I will get back, just you wait’’ Leslie clenched her fist so hard her knuckles turned white. While she was rather dreaming of taking her revenge on Jane and putting herself in the way of even more scandals, Leslie was unaware everything she was just doing had only made it easier for Jane to target her. Once they got home, she was quick to head for the bedroom stripping off every piece of cloth as she stepped naked into the bathroom. Leslie cried in silence as the water failed to watch
While Jane went straight to her seat, Pamela noticed Dave walking right straight to them. Pamela was worried but Jane told her to stand down. ‘’What do you want again? I thought we were over?’’ Jane asked as soon as Dave was close enough to hear her. ‘’How can we be over when every time you sit you are always thinking of a thousand ways to crush Leslie and me?’’ Jane did not want to but he was forcing her. It was not her who was thinking of ways to crush the other but the way around. If they had not stood in her way there was no way they would have gotten to the stage they are right now. ‘’Dave, to you I am the devil, you were the one to suppress me and cancel my jobs, you were the same person to push me to the wall, back in Belgium and now you say I think of ways to crush you two? I've said it before and I will always say it. I do not step on those who do not step on me first.’’ Jane had no more words for him as she walked out to enjoy the scenery of the night. The noise and th
As everyone, cleared the way and continued chatting in small groups, Kelly turned her focus to Dave who still did not get why she had not announced she was to be the new manager of Jane as they had planned. ‘’Jane would leave, devious entertainment if I should announce taking over as her manager. Dave, I have not worked with Jane for a long time but I have a little perception of the type of person she is and I can tell you this is not all she has up her sleeves. Why don't you go see her and let's hear what she has to say”’ Kelly held on so tight to her wine glass. She never would have thought Jane would find out ahead of time and threaten her so much. Dave was quick to head towards Jane who had a smile all along. Pamela had joined her by the time he got to her, since Damon had offered to drop her off, there wasn't a need for Pamela to come to pick her up, hence they had agreed on coming separately. Once Dave got close, Pamela was quick to stand in front of Jane protectively. ‘’ wh
