Asphalt POV

Today was the first shooting of the movie Jazz would be starring in and I wanted to be present and watch her play the role.

According to the interviews she had attended, she was highly anticipated on her new choice in the film industry. Even the way she answered the interview questions was promising.

I cleared my office desk and got ready to visit the production center. Janet too would be starring as the second lead and I hoped she wouldn't flop in her acting. Because, most of the movies that I had watched of her were poorly rated and didn't even sell half in the market.

But with Jazz as the lead role, Janet's reputation might be lifted or better still overshadowed. She had thrown multiple tantrums after I had refused to help her get the role and most of the time, spent time at her friends' places. At least she was out of my hair.

"Gil," I called my secretary and he responded quickly.

"I will be going to the film set. If anyone looks for me, ask the person to book an appoin

    Jasmine POVMy crew and I arrived on set just in time to start the first shoot of the movie. Arianna and my junior agent Julie accompanied me since it was my first and first time shooting a film.As we walked into the site, my eyes caught Asphalt after Janet had yelled his name. I wondered what he was doing here but didn't ponder much on it since Janet was shooting the movie too. What a liar, he had acted like a changed person the other time he had come to my place. Ugh, I was so stupid to think that he had changed a bit. Arianna pulled me gently towards the chair that she had provided for me while our crew members went into setting a mini tent for me.I got out my script and began to rehearse the lines that were needed for the shoot. I noticed Asphalt coming towards me but stopped on his track when Jacob and his agent came to meet me."Hey, good morning. You look refreshing," Jacob said, pecking my cheeks. I noticed the sudden frown that grew on his face. 'Was he being mad just now

    Filming period....Alison POV (Jazz's character)I paused on my track when I caught my boyfriend cheating on me with my half sister. They were currently having sex on my bed without noticing my presence until I had smashed the long porcelain pot beside me."What the hell are the two of you doing?How could you do this to me, Hannah. I thought you were my best friend?," I quietly asked after they had realized what they had done."It's not what you think Alison," my boyfriend Jeremy tried to come close to me with those dirty hands he had used to touch my half sister."Enough Jeremy, she has to know the truth. Yes, I'm in love with your boyfriend and there is nothing you can do about it. Do you think I ever cared about your dumb shit bestie rubbish. I never liked you Alison so face it and get out of our sight," Hannah spat at me with all viciousness in her voice. I could sense her ultimate hatred for me and couldn't understand the reason why she would feel this way towards me."Why?, is t

    Jasmine POV"Haha," I laughed mimicking my character's laughter which I would be playing out soon. At first I thought it would be easy but for some reason, I was feeling anxious.My makeup artist was currently dabbing my foundation to make it blend as my look was supposed to be shabby like that of a psychotic girl. I was to wear a ripped prison cloth with blood stains from the torture which Alison would experience while being questioned.This role was going to be quite difficult and I needed to look natural in order to nail the act. "Close your eyes lids please," my makeup artist requested and I gladly did so to calm my mind. Once I opened them again, Jacob was in my room holding a cup of coffee."Thank you, I really needed this to calm my nerves," I appreciated him and took it from him. Throughout the night, I had felt a bit tense about today, especially the fact that I would be having a kissing scene with Jacob. He didn't even feel bothered about it because it was something common

    Jasmine's POV"That's all for today, thank you all for your hard work," the director called the end of the filming. I and Jacob decided to leave together since we were the last people to do a scene together."Ah, what do you say I take you out on a dinner date?. I want to show my utmost gratitude to you for giving me this opportunity again. Hope you don't mind," I said to him after we were done changing from our filming outfits."Hmm, I would rather eat your homemade if you really want to show your gratitude. I have been craving homemades recently and going back home would be a hassle to me. So would cook for me?," he asked and I laughed knowing how terrible my food could be."Let me warn you, I'm not much of a good cook but if you insist then it's settled. You are highly invited to dinner at my place. My kids would be so excited to see. They might end up looking at you throughout dinner," I told him while he helped me wear my coat. He was so nice to the extent that my heart always fl

    Jazz's POVToday's scene was a public shoot, it was to be shot at a particular scenery that was along the bridge and a place that was frequented by people.Jazz was playing her character Hannah and in this scene, she was to confront me for the murder of her dead lover. "I'm not afraid of you, not in the next world to come. You bloody murderer, do you think you can get away with what you have done? For sure the police will get you for what you have committed," she flinched when I stepped close to her as Alison."I said you don't scare me, plus you can't kill in a public area because it will give the police clear evidence to lock you up in jail regardless of the powerful backer you have," Hannah spat out with a tinge of fear in her voice. She was still afraid of me and there were many ways to manipulate her into petrification.I stepped closer to her with a threatening stance that made her shudder in fear. "What do you think you are doing?," he quivered in fear, staggering backwards to

    Janet POVI wailed in pain as I iced my cheeks with a bag of ice. The little fight that I had with Jazz had gone online. And people were trashing my name on social media. Ugh!, it would be fun to sue them for the hate comments."Janet, we have an issue," my agent trudged into my free room where I was being tendered to by two nurses because of my injured face."And what is it about?," I asked, feeling less concerned about what she was going to say. She was trembling and uncertain of what to do. However, it was none of my business."It's about the fight, the company has decided that you make a public apology to calm the angry netizens. If you don't this will become more hectic for us to handle. I don't know what will happen if you don't comply. So please follow what they have suggested," she said, getting me angry instantly."Are you of your mind?, what do you think I look like to you?. It seems to me that you don't like your job," I flared up making her and the nurses around me flinch

    I scoffed from the pain I felt and wished she had just agreed to love me. But that would be hard for her. I didn't want to put any pressure on her and somehow it was my fault for pursuing her even when I knew her heart was with another man."I must have been delusional to think that we would wake up if I kept trying.

I could see the guilt and concern she had for me on her face and I felt sorry that I had been a burden to her.The tears that brimmed in my eyes went back on its own because it would be so cruel of me to cry In Front of her.I was deeply in love with her but my love was unrequited.

Turning off the stove, he bent me the kitchen counter and fucked me from behind.We had a quickie and got down to eat the food he prepared. "I will be going now to avoid any suspicion. You can go to my parents house if you need anything. I will be preoccupied from now on in order to get Asphalt out of our hair. Remember no calling or texting," I pecked him on his lips and left his place.By the time I got back to Asphalt's mansion, it was six in the evening and he was already home. As always he was stuck in his study."Honey, I am home," I said with disgust in my voice as I flashed him a fake smile."How was your time with your parents?"

"Nope, if you want a dress I will design one for you. Just tell me what you want and I will have it designed immediately," he pecked my left cheek and I blushed like a sixteen year old girl."You will have to do all the designing by yourself.

For now, I want to admire every dress here," I playfully said with a smile.He nodded and let me wander around like a kid while he kept his eyes on all the time. "Wow, how did you do this?" I pointed at a dress that had a thousand tiny crystal diamonds on it. "That dress was customized for a friend but she failed to meet my expectations.
