After Denise got to her house (if you would call that shack that), she put water in the one basin she owned and went to the shared bathroom outside her house. She had to lock her house first because she didn't want anyone to get to her house and maybe take the little she had. That's how little faith she had in humanity and she had every justification to think that.She slept with a smile on her face as she remembered the girl she saved and that the following day would be the auditions. She didn't have an eventful night, obviously, and she slept soundly until the time she normally woke up. Anyway, in this place there was no chance of oversleeping because people woke up as early as four to open their small businesses and others to go looking for work. That meant that the noise itself would wake someone up if your problems didn't.She got ready for the day. The auditions would start at ten but she preferred to be early because the last thing she needed was to be late and annoy the judges
Denise left that salon with a smile. She had not known that a simple beauty procedure could bring out her beauty in that magnitude. She felt like a totally new person and she could already imagine herself as Laura King. She knew she had the right height and size. Even her face, she knew that would be an added plus. What she wasn't sure of was her acting. She had never done it professionally but she was confident in herself. She was a go getter and she would do it.She boarded a vehicle and by nine thirty, thirty minutes before time, she was already at the venue. They were to do auditions in the hotel that had been mentioned in the advert and it was her first time being in such a place. It did not take her long to arrive as she had decided to be generous with herself. Since she didn't know the city well and she was not sure where the hotel was, she decided to take a taxi there and here sg was. When the receptionist who gave her the script saw her, she was flabbergasted and she looked
Laura carried her bag carefully and walked stealthily towards the safe. When she got there, she looked all ways to make sure that she was alone. She then placed the bag she was carrying on the ground and knelt on one knee.She looked at the safe and smiled. She caressed it and her look said that she had found her baby. She looked like a psycho who worshipped a safe at that moment. "Oh, my baby. How I love a good challenge," she said with an excitement that clearly showed that she was a pro at what she was about to do.She then opened her bag and produced a pen, a writing pad, a stethoscope (she had made hers from materials she could find) and a timer.She placed the watch at the floor and smiled, "only two minutes to break you. I love breaking beauties don't worry. I will take good care of you," she talked to the safe again with a smile and she giggled. She looked like a beautiful psycho who was entirely focused on what she was doing.She then took the stethoscope and placed the diap
That man, John, did as he was instructed by the director. He was a nice man who talked to Denise like a normal person. He didn't have any attitudes and was actually very nice. They were having small talk as they walked towards a phone shop just a block away from Global Scope Studios."You know D-Nice" John started and Denise looked at him, "I've been in this industry for a while now. I have photographed and videographed a lot of models, actors and actresses, and I have to say, you are very talented and nice. I am sure for your character, there will be very very few MTs," he praised her and she felt nice. But..."What are MTs?" She asked as some of these movie terms were still new to her."Oh, sorry. Because of your good acting I forgot that you are new to all this. MTs are multiple takes. You see, when filming a scene, each scene filming is called a 'take'. Many actors and actresses do like two or three takes before a director is satisfied. Others do even fifty or more takes. Like the
Denise had never been in such a car. She was thus enjoying the view and the ride and she really wasn't paying attention to where they were going. She had never been to the city before because as she was growing up, she was hardly ever taken anywhere. She wasn't even allowed to go to her grandfather's burial either. All she knew was the way to school and back home. All she knew about the town or cars and such was what she read in magazines and saw on TV and nothing else. Thus, this was a first and very enjoyable to her. She thus enjoyed looking at all these buildings and all these businesses. She didn't know that the city was this big. She was mesmerized and lost in her own imaginary world.She promised herself that one day, she would also own a building like this and start a big business like these people. She would become her own boss. One day, people would relate the name D-Nice with her. She swore to make it a house hold name.She was brought back by Fey shaking and calling her."H
Denise looked at that man wide eyed. As she watched, Fey run and hugged him."Uncle, you are bad. Why did you tell your secretary not to let us in?" She complained while pouting and the man patted her back with a caring expresion about his face."It's not that baby. Why would I tell her not to let in my favourite niece? It's just that I'm so busy and wanted to catch up with some work," he said as he looked at Denise.Denise felt her legs give and she saw the office spin. She then started free falling and before she could hit the ground, the man was there to cushion her fall with his large arms. Since he was tall, he had reached her before Alex, who had gone to the dispenser to get water, could reach her."Is she sick?" He asked looking at his sister."No, as far as I know, she has been well since we met and hasn't shown any signs of being in any kind of discomfort. I haven't seen anything odd," Alex answered as she touched D's forehead."No fever, she seems okay," she said and the man
Denise woke up and stretched herself. She felt so well rested. She hadn't been this well rested in a long, loooong, time. In fact, she couldn't even remember ever feeling this well rested in her whole life. She then remembered that she had seen Ansel Winston. She laughed because clearly, it had been a dream. She chuckled again and... But wait.. This bed seems to be so soft compared to the hard ground where she sleeps."What happened yesterday? I came from the auditions, met Fey and.. Oooooooh, fuck me!"Denise opened her eyes and sat up with a start. She looked at herself and her clothes had been changed. She was wearing a white sleeping gown that was oh, so warm and soft. And the bed? The bed was huge. She looked like one small fish in a white ocean. These bed sheets and covers screamed 'expensive and soft'. The room was big. Bigger than even her parents', sorry uncle's, room back in the Ashford mansion. It didn't look odd even though it had minimal decorations. Just a flower vase at
She opened the door slowly, a small gap enough to peep. She peeped to see if anyone was on the other side. When she didn't see anyone, she smiled and opened it very very slowly and when she had opened it a big enough gap where she could fit, she placed her foot outside the door and then..."Why are you walking shoeless? Wear your shoes, the floor is usually very cold and we don't want you getting sick now, do we?" Ansel talked from inside the room and that gave Denise a big scare that she was startled and she turned abruptly and in doing that, she twisted her legs together and she fell.She would have fallen on her butt but a big strong arm was there to give her support and prevent her from embarrassing herself, yet again. "Why are you always falling? Is it a hobby, maybe?" Ansel asked but instead of irritation, his voice carried a hint of teasing.Denise wished that the ground could just open and swallow her to save her from the shame. "Big boss, I don't usually fall. It's you who's
Denise looked at Mandy and wondered why and where all the hatred came from. She didn't know the other woman and she really didn't think that even if it was a grudge because of taking Ansel or humiliating her the other day, it warranted her asking her people to kill her."Why do you hate me so much first of all? Do we know each other from somewhere?" Denise asked Mandy because she thought all this crazy.How can one hate someone else out of their own delusions? It wasn't normal. But she needed to hear it from Mandy herself because maybe she had a reason."Do I have any reason to hate you? You took my man away from me. Isn't that reason enough? I hate your very guts!" Mandy said through gritted teeth but Denise just looked at her with pity in her eyes. Really? Did Mandy just call Ansel her man?"Has Ansel ever told you that he loves you or has he ever given you any reason to believe that he does? Has he ever behaved in a way to suggest that he mightwant you?" Denise asked her again,
Denise had known that marrying Ansel would come with its own troubles but she didn't expect it to come so soon. She should have expected that there were people who were in love with Ansel in his own home but she never suspected that any of them would go as far as trying to take her life.But it was okay, they were giving her the experience she needed to live in this world that she had found herself in. She loved Ansel and she was ready to fight for him… literally.She sat on the couch again but her heart was still aching. Every time she would look at the bag that had been holding the food she had bought for Ansel and then think of how these fools had eaten it, she would feel so bad that she would feel better after beating them again.This time, even the guy who had been shot was no exception. They were beaten so badly that they could not speak well because their lips were the sizes of sausages.On the other side of the town, Ansel was going mad as his people tried tracking that taxi
These men regretted underestimating Denise and taking her nonchalance as fear and helplessness. If they had known that she could handle a gun and she knew how to fight, they would have recruited more men or even dealt with her more ruthlessly and without delay. They sat on the floor in a line like obedient school children and faced her. She then sat back on the couch and bent her back a little, parted her legs and placed her elbows on her knees and looked at them the way one would look at children. She was like a mother teaching her children how to be good boys. She was dangling the gun before them and they seemed visibly scared until one decided to be brave. "Do you even know how to use that thing? Stop pretending! Our young miss told us that you are a nobody. So, stop pretending to be brave. Why don't we fight and see what you can do?" He said and she smiled at that. An eerily scary smile that had him regretting why he said that. "Okay," she said just that and pulled the tri

An eerily scary smile that had him regretting why he said that."Okay," she said just that and pulled the trigger.
"So, you guys want to tell me who sent you?" She asked them, looking all nonchalant and they laughed.She looked at them like fools and made herself comfortable at that dusty couch. She even placed one leg on top of the other on the knee and looked all bossy. She didn't look like she was the kidnapee at all."Yeah, we will tell you once we deal with you. Our boss told us to do with you whatever we would and she would come to finish you. Don't worry, we threw your phone away and no one would be able to locate you. So, it's just you and us. You can stop pretending to be all brave. But don't worry, we love breaking the hard ones," one said and he touched his lower lip with his thumb seductively, maybe thinking about how he was going to deal with her."Our boss should have told us you are this beautiful. I swear I would have asked for less than what we demanded. I would have even done it for free. Wah! It has been long since l was with such a beauty," another said and they laughed at that
Denise and Ansel stayed in the suite for the better part of the afternoon and since Ansel wanted to drive her home but they had to let her sign out first, change from her uniform and board her taxi as usual. Then, Uncle Mike dropped her three blocks away from where Ansel picked her.They arrived home together and Denise has never been happier.When she first arrived in Ansel's house, she felt out of place. She felt like a stranger and it took her sometime to get used to the idea that this would be her home for a long time to come. But now, with the workers support and the love of Ansel, she always looked forward to getting home. She felt warmth in the house that she hadn't felt when she was growing up with her own people.Since she didn't have anything better to do the following day and she was staying away from the hotel because she was sure that Georgina would send people to investigate her, she decided to go to the mall to do some shopping and maybe later in the day, visit her hus
Georgina and her minions went back to the room and called room service. She wanted to bribe the girls with food and drinks so that they could stay with her as she tried to figure out a way to know who the person with Ansel was. She knew it was easy to control her friends as she always did using her money and their greed. Then, one if the girls had an epiphany. She knew that Georgina always loved flashing her wealth around and why not take advantage of that? "I know how you can find out who that was!" She said excitedly and the others were all ears. “You could just ask one of the people who work here," she said feeling all clever. "Have you forgotten that anyone who works for Imperial never talks? Even the little information I have on Ansel, I had to pay someone a lot of cash, they won't talk. I have tried prying information out of Imperial employees but they are so tight lipped,” Georgina said feeling all downcast. If it was about using cash to find out about Ansel, she
The best feeling in the world is to love and to be loved. When one has someone who loves them, that's the best feeling ever. For Denise, it was magical because she had literally never experienced any form of love from those she mostly wanted to be loved and appreciated by. The people she always thought were family. She always wanted to feel the love of a mother, a father, a sister or a brother but she never did. She always thought that she had a defect until she realised that the problem with them and not her. They always hated her and at one time, they made her think that she never deserved love. But that was the past and she was now here with a man who would do anything for her. From what she had seen so far, Ansel would move a mountain for her and it felt good. As she waited there, she found herself smiling at the memories they had made so far even though they hadn't been together for long. She had thought that all rich people were snobby but Ansel had proved that the
That night, both Denise and Ansel slept like they had never slept before. They were happy and Denise was grinning like a teenager in love, though she was, literally, a teenager in love. Denise was happy because this was the first time she kissed someone and she actually liked it.She could tell how much Ansel felt for her from that kiss. It was sweet and strange in a good way. She loved it and she loved this man more with each passing day.Ansel on the hand never knew that love could be this SweetThough he would have loved to have her that night, he didn't want to scare her this early. He knew he might be too forward or too rough and scare her into never making love to him ever again. That's why he didn't force anything and took care of his desire by himself. But he knew that he loved her more and more as he discovered how his body reacted to her.The fact that Denise made his body react in such a huge way made him love her even more and he knew that he had made the right call. He s
