“Question for Miss Greene,” a journalist said as I sat down together with the rest of my cast mates on the podium while the reporters looked up at us from below. “Go ahead,” I said with a smile plastered on my face. This movie was going to be my debut in the entertainment industry. Six months had passed, and the shooting for the movie was finally over. After Ryan’s assistant released the video of Jasmine and her truth was shown to everyone, she was immediately cancelled, and with a little push from Ryan, she got cut off from the acting industry. The editing of the movie was done, meaning that the movie was ready to air. Matheo scheduled for it to air in a week, which is why he scheduled a press meeting with us as a form of promotion. “Go ahead,” I told her as I spoke into the microphone. “Miss Greene, how would you sum up your experience with your cast members while filming this movie?” The blonde female reporter asked “Thanks for that question,” I started with a smile. “I would
Just as I was walking down the stairs, I saw Ryan walking into the house and Mary taking his bag, and I rolled my eyes. She always tried her best to make her presence known to Ryan. “Where are you going? he asked. “Good to see you too. You know, after such a long time of not seeing each other,” I replied sarcastically as I rolled my eyes. “It was just one week, Eliza,” he said with an amused gaze, and I scoffed out loud. I did not fail to see the look of dissatisfaction on Mary’s face; even after six whole months passed, she still kept her hopes up. “Are you going to tell me where you are going?” He asked again. “Why don’t you ask the personal assistant you sent to spy on me?” I said as I walked past him with attitude, and I heard his loud laughter as I walked out, contrary to what I was expecting. I was not really angry; in fact, I knew I was not supposed to, but I felt flattered that Ryan wanted to be informed of my whereabouts. It was just fun giving him attitude. I understoo
We slowly pulled away, and I looked at him with idignation. “What is wrong with you? Someone might have seen us,” I said with an angry look as I puffed my cheeks while he just chuckled. “So what? I will be glad if others see,” he said as he made his way to the driver's seat while I entered the car. "You are so insufferable. I puffed my cheeks. “Let’s go public. I want everyone to know that you are married to me. I don’t want small actors lusting over my wife,” he said as he looked at me with a darkened gaze, and I rolled my eyes at his jealous antics. “Is this about Garret? How many times do I have to tell you that he does not feel that way towards me?” I said this after I let out a frustrated sigh. “You would not know because you are blind, but as a man, a very smart man to be exact, how can I not know when someone has feelings for my wife?” he said as he drove off. "He knows I am married, so even if he does have feelings, he won’t try anything,” I said, finally giving into his
“Welcome once again to Celebrity Homes. Now that all our invited guests have arrived at the home of Johnson Larrey, whom you all know and love, we are going to finally reveal the surprise guest who you have all been waiting for.” The host said so, and I looked forward to it. “The first surprise guest is..." The host did not complete his statement just to build up excitement in the audience. “Zeke Harry,” he said, and Sarah Lindsey immediately started screaming. Even though I could not lie, I was also very excited. Although Garret was the movie king of the year, Mr. Zeke had been the movie king for multiple years; he had a really deep condition in the acting industry and was around Melisa’s age, in his mid-forties. “So nice to meet you, Mr. Zeke. Can I get your autograph?” She asked excitedly and motioned for him to sign it at the back of her shirt. "Sure, I just need a pen,” he said with a smile, and her eyes widened anxiously. “Pen, I need a pen!” She shouted, causing Johnson’s w
Two days had already passed. We slept over at Sarah Lindsey’s house on the second day, and on the third day we went to Mr. Zeke’s house. Today it was going to be Lisa’s house. And I could sense her excitement. Even though Mr. Zeke was a very rich and well-known actor, he was also known for his humility. Because he was still single and had adopted just one child, he did not go overboard with his house; therefore, Lisa concluded that she was the one with the largest home. We got to the gate of the villa, and as expected, there was a reaction from Sarah, but Mr. Zeke and Johnson acted more reserved. “Your house looks lovely, Lisa." Sarah complimented, and Lisa smiled humbly, but deep inside, she was happy with that compliment; she probably even expected more. If only they knew that it was my parents who owned the villa in the first place. We walked through the large door and into the house. "Welcome, Miss Lisa,” a butler said, and I looked at him in shock, since when did they have a
“What did you just say?” She asked, looking shocked as his knees almost buckled beneath her feet. “I am pretty sure that you heard me clearly, Lisa,” I said to her as I crossed my arms while looking at her with a smug expression. “So you did get married; why, Eliza? Why would you do such a thing without involving only family?” She said it angrily, and I had to give it to her; her acting was becoming more and more impressive. “Eliza I was not mad at you when you asked my dad to make you the CEO of the company; I was not mad at you when you asked for the house, but this time, you have gone overboard with your willfulness,” she said while looking angry. Everyone around just watched us; Johnson and Zeke looked worried on our behalf, while Sarah looked like she was lipping the drama. Of course, the director and the host were both living for the drama, and because of it, I am sure the views would have doubled. I was pretty sure that my aunt was viewing us, and she must be so mad, which m
As I ran my hands through the keys of the piano, I got lost in the music and began to sing as well. “Moonlit memories, a dance with the unknown, In the verses of the wind, our stories are sown. The pain of goodbye, the joy of hello, In the lyrics of life, we find where we grow. Through the echoes of the past, I'll find my way. a symphony of courage, breaking through the grey. With every note, a journey unfolds. In the rhythm of life, our story's told.” I sang with my eyes closed as I resonated with the lyrics my mother formed. She has always wanted to be a musician, and that was why my dad established the company—he wanted to see her shine. But when it was time for my mom to actually pursue her dreams,she backed out because she was scared of failure. She died without being able to share her amazing talents. How sad. That was why I decided not to be cowardly again, because I did not know when I was going to die, just like my mom also did not know that her death day was near
My uncle and aunt look so infuriated by my actions, while the other shareholders just look puzzled. “What is going on here, and who is she?” The second-largest shareholder asked, which caused my uncle to look a little bit flustered. “She is a nobody, and neither is she a shareholder,” my uncle said with a boot-looking expression, and I smiled. I could not help but anticipate the big reveal. My body was literally itching to throw the property papers at his face, but I had to choose the right moment to do it so that I could be dramatic and satisfying. “Leave now!” Lisa, who had been on her good behaviour, suddenly hit the table and shouted. She pointed at the door, gesturing for me to leave, and I literally laughed out loud at how naive she was. Did she really think that I was going to leave just because she said so? “I would go if you gave me a valid reason.” I smiled smugly. “Of course I have so many!" Lisa laughed angrily. “Number one, you are not a shareholder, and number two,
“Find out who the bastard is that took her now!” Ryan commanded furiously, who would dare take Eliza from him? That person had a death wish. But his question was answered in no time when Jason called him. “What do you want?” Ryan questioned me angrily. “Why do you sound so angry, Ryan? Is it because you can’t find your wife?" Jason laughed, and it immediately clicked. “Where the hell is she?” Ryan questioned me angrily. “Calm down, calm down. She is at my house, okay? But if you want her back alive, untainted by my very hungry men, You are going to come to her unarmed and alone, got it?” Jason said it cockily, and Ryan seethed with anger. “You have the nerve.” "Yes, I do. Now come quickly. The clock is ticking, and I really like Eliza. It would be really tragic if something bad were to happen to her." Jason laughed, then hung up immediately. Without wasting time, Ryan called the Sun Group leaders for the Blaqk Eagles. “Commence the plan now,” he commanded. “But sir, it is n
Angela was back, but he was not even a bit happy; he knew something was up. Something about her story in your hospital was just not adding up. Ryan, holding Eliza’s hand, dragged her out of Angela’s hospital room with a very angry look on his face. "Ryan, stop. Don’t you think that was a little bit harsh?” Eliza whispered, causing Ryan to abruptly stop and look at her. "Would you prefer if I went back in time and promised her that I would marry her?” He asked with a cold expression. "I am sorry; I just felt bad for her,” Eliza said as she looked down, causing Ryan to calm down. "But it does not mean I want to lose you to her." "I know” "Crazy, how did those things happen to her?" Eliza said, and Ryan drove her home. "Crazy how fifty percent of her words were lies,” he laughed, causing Eliza to look at him in shock. "Are you serious? Did you find something out?” Eliza asked. "No, but I have been dealing with different types of people my whole life; if I cannot identify when s
Ryan“Sir Jason is going to be at the banquet; should I inform Madam Elise that you will not be coming?” Andy asked Ryan, and Ryan chuckled.“Why should I be the one to avoid that small fry? I would still be going,” Ryan said, and his assistant nodded, then walked out.It had been more than six months since he married Eliza, and everything was going pretty well for them. He did not know how, but Eliza somehow made him have feelings for her.But he never admitted it.He was invited to a charity gala by his aunt, Madam Elise.He was not a big fan of his family members, but Madame Elise was his late mother's sister. She also had a hand in raising him, so he had a bit of respect for her.He squeezed his own tight in his hand as he remembered that night.The night he got tired of all his father's bill sh*t, he was seventeen, and he was done.That crazy old man was the cause of his mother's death, yet he did not even have the decency to respect her even after her death.When he found out th
RyanHe sat down and tapped on his leg slowly. People who knew him very well would know that he was very angry. But he just sat there in silence as he watched the chaotic scene.Rich second-generation heirs fondling ladies for the brothel.He was disgusted. Was this supposed to be their business meeting?He should have expected this from Regan; it was not a secret in the upper class that Regan was a womanizer, and he had no shame for being so.Ryan abruptly tugged his tie off him as he felt a sudden heat creep up his neck to his face.“Mr. Blaqk, to celebrate our partnership, I prepared a surprise for you.” Regan winked at him, and he felt disgusted.Realizing what Regan had done to him, he stood up angrily and walked up to him. In a swift motion, he raised Regan off the ground and glared at him, causing silence across the room.“So you dare to drug me, hon, and you think you would go Scot-free? Forget about any business between us; you won’t have a place in the country again,” Ryan s
Although she was only away for two months, she still felt weird. "I have called Alex; she said she would be there." “Okay” “Can you guys at least pretend to be friends on that day? I don’t want anyone making fun of our trio,” Halle requested, and Eliza reluctantly nodded. "Wait for me for a bit. I want to use the restroom,” Eliza said, then she weaved through the crowd in the airport to get to the restroom. As she came out of the restroom, she saw a cute little girl standing outside curiously. "Aunty, you are so pretty,” the little girl complimented, and Eliza felt so flattered. “Thank you” “I don’t have a mummy; maybe you can be my mummy; follow me; let me be sure, my dad,” the girl said. She then took hold of Eliza’s hand and dragged her towards a corner, and surprising enough, the little girl had a very strong grip. Before she knew it, Eliza found herself in a lonely corner, she had a weird feeling. "Uhm, where is your dad?” She asked the girl. "Hehe,” the girls cute laug
Writers pov With a broken heart, Eliza drove around, not knowing what to do. She could not go to Alex's house because Alex was a disappointment. Plus, Ryan could easily find her in her parents villa. So she called the only person she could think of. "Hello, Eliza, what’s up?” Halle answered, and a smile of relief washed over Eliza’s face. "Uhm, I am fine. I was just wondering if I can come over and stay at your place for a while,” she asked , making Halle confused. “Let me get this straight: you want to come over to Korea?” Halle asked in shock. "Yeah, is that a problem?” Eliza said. "No, it’s just that... Did you have a fight with your husband? You are sounding a little bit down,” Halle inquired. That was the only logical reason why Eliza would suddenly want to stay with her for a while. “I will explain everything to you later, but for now, can I come over?” Eliza asked again. "Sure, girl, you are welcome to my home anytime." “Okay, thank you so much. You are the best." “Y
“Have you gotten everything I need?” Ryan asked his assistant with a smirk. "Yes, Mr. Blaqk,” his assistant said as he gave the document to Ryan. He began to explain it as Ryan opened the file. "Sir, the reason Angela eloped at your wedding was not because she was being blackmailed,” his assistant started. “Does this have anything to do with yesterday's incident?” Ryan asked him. "Yes, Mr. Blaqk,” he answered, and Ryan’s eyes darkened. “Go on,” he said in a low, angry tone. “Angela eloped the wedding because she had fallen in love, but he was just a mafia agent, and he delivered her to Jason Romanov.” “Of course it’s that pest; he has still not learned his lesson,” Ryan smirked. “At first, he thought he could use Angela as leverage over you, but you replaced her that same day, barely giving him a chance to blackmail you. So he decided to torture her for vital information about you, but she knew nothing apart from the fact that you once told her that you cherish a flash more th
Writers POV After everyone was gone, including the Daltons, the Blaqks sat down in the living room with troubled expressions on their faces. Ryan’s stepbrother, who had been absent during the anniversary party, immediately rushed back once he heard the news. Mr. Blaqk was on the phone with the person who was supposed to recover the CCTV footage because it had been wiped out. “What do you mean the CCTV cannot be recovered? What am I paying you guys for then?" Mr. Blaqk scolded the person on the other side of the line. "Enough,” Ryan said, causing his father to be quiet for a while. Reluctantly, Mr. Blaqk hung up on the technician and looked at Ryan. “I will find out who is behind all this; anything you do, just know that you are wasting your time," said Ryan's dad. “Do whatever you want, Ryan, but my company must not fall,” Mr. Blaqk said to Ryan. "Oh, you mean my company,” Ryan retorted, looking at his father with a daring look while his father could only look away in defeat.
She should have also expected that Halle would invite Alex along. She rolled her eyes but decided not to ruin the meeting for Halle because of her and Alex’s falling out. “Halle!” Eliza shouted and Halle stood up and gave Eliza a hug. “It’s has truly been long” Eliza said. “I miss you so much Liza” Halle said in a shaky voice as they pulled out of their hug. “Hello” Eliza nodded at Alex as she pulled her sit to sit down while Alex nodded back. Halle looked so confused. “Hold on you guys, don’t tell me you guys are fighting” Halle said and Eliza quickly denied it. “No we are not” she laughed and Alex laughed along. Everyone became more comfortable when their orders arrived and everyone was talking freely. It was finally time for everyone to go, plus Eliza had to meet up with her stylist. “I am going to miss you so much, let us keep in touch this time okay?” Eliza said to Halle and Halle nodded with a sad look before she skipped to Alex and gave her a hug. Halle left leaving A
