At the filming site The moment Miranda entered the set, thewhispers in the surroundings immediatelystopped, and everyone stared at her withstrange expressions.It seemed like the rumors had alreadyspread. Someone whispered in a peculiar tone inthe corner, "What's this? She's just a rookie and yet she came in so late. Doesn't she seet hat Maya is already here?” “Actually, it wasn't that Miranda had comelate, but Maya had come too early” "Maya, you're in the same company asMiranda, Are those rumors spreading online true?" "Someone even said that she slept with alot of people in our crew for getting thisrolel" “That's too shameless! Doesn't Golden Ray care about this kind of unfair competition?” Facing the crowd's questions, fainthelplessness appeared on Maya's face asshe sighed, "We each depend on our ownabilities, so the company won't care."After saying so, she seemed to haverealized that she had said something wrong and quickly added on, "I mean that Miranda didn
"Baby. I'm back!" Once she got home, hersweet little cutie immediately washedaway Miranda's fatigue.Brian trotted over to welcome her uponhearing her voice, even holding a glass ofice-cold fruit juice in his hands."Baby, you're so sweet! Love you!" Miranda took it over and gulped it all down in one shot, before happily saying, "Come here, come here, I'm going to take you to wear some cute clothes. We're going out to eat hotspot in a while!"The little pumpkin who had always runback to his room upon hearing 'going out,obediently allowed Miranda to lead himupstairs.When they reached the bedroom, heallowed her to try clothes on him."This one's too plain, this one's too dark.this one's too boring... My goodness! Whobought these clothes for you? What kind of aesthetic sense is this! I don't even need to ask. It must be your dad! Has he forgotten that you're only 4 years old, not 30?” Miranda complained as she rummaged through the closet, before finally picking up a piece that
Late in the night, Miranda was lying in bedwith and million thoughts running through her head. She wouldn't bring handsome guys homeMany guys attempted to flirt with her, andthose who tried to do dirty things would get beaten up. Especially when she saw married menwith ring marks on their fingers, she would beat them until they cried for their mothers. As for her sex life... Honestly. the first time she had ever hadsex was that night five years ago. When Lucas forced her to submit to his will in exchange for the money needed for her sister, Amanda's medical expenses. It was most likely the shadow of her firsttime affecting her. She always felt disgusted towards sex. Isaiah had been provoked beyond hislimit tonight. However, she had no otherchoice. She would have to bring up the topic of leaving anyway eventually. Why not do so and leave before she could no longer control the situation? Leaving him first was always better thanwatching him leave when the ugliest parts of
In Kenton's house. Jake sat on the sofa while hugging apillow. His face was beaming with a bright smile and he continuously shook his legs as his gaze remained focused on Isaiah. If he had a tail behind him, it wouldbe wagging up and down due to the look of excitement on his face, "Bro bro, tell me, what happened last night. Is it because you couldn't control the burning love in your heart and lost control and kissed her at night by mistake? And then you weren't careful with your actions and woke Miranda up? Then you were trapped on the spot, so you just pretended you were sleepwalking?" Jake's ability to fill in the details wasn't just for show. He knew very well how to force words out of his brother's mouth by simply guessing the situation and forcing him to speak. Isaiah raised his eyes and Iooked at him.This fellow's smarts were all used on things like this, weren't they? Seeing his dear brother's expression.Jake knew that he had guessed it right. He was about to fall in lo
Miranda had been prepared to pay by herself at first since she was going to give it as a present for the little pumpkin. She hadn't expected that such an embarrassing situation would happen. She liked the outfit a lot; the thought ofsomething that should belong to the littlepumpkin going to someone like Nicole made her feel extremely uncomfortable. Finally, she had to take out the black card Isaiah gave her to settle the bill. Once Miranda took out the card, the shop assistant and the two ladies turned blankly. The shop assistant was ratherexperienced and knowledgeable, so sherecognized the card with one glance. Nicole and Mia had never seen the real thing, but socialites were naturally more aware of things like this. They could also recognize that it was the real King of Cards, the limitless black card that only existed in IRarted numbers in the entire world. The threshold for this card was extremelyhigh, and the annual fees were shocking. The service you could get with this
He hadn't expected that she would makesuch a request. Isaiah's expression turned blank before he stared at the girl's back. His tone was slightly higher than usual, "Why? Is there something wrong?” He said with a cold voice even though he was pretty happy to fulfillthis kind of request from her. Realizing that there were too many waysto interpret her words, Miranda hurriedlycorrected, "Please don't misunderstand!meant exactly what I said. There's no other meaning to it! Ahem, basically what I meant was, I bought an outfit for you while shopping today. Would you like to try it on? If you try it on now, you don't have to take off your clothes again to try it on.” Isaiah looked slightly startled uponhearing so, and he looked overwhelmed by the unexpected favor, "You boughtsomething for me as well?" He was stunned for a slight second.He had thought that she had bought the outfits for Brian. He never had the slightest idea that this woman would also bring something along for hi
"Of course... I will put the weight of responsibility on my shoulders as long as you can act like that in front of me! Alright, alright, leave it to me!” Miranda patted her chest confidently. The longer she stared at the two, one big and one small, the more excited he became. "Oh my! I can't take it anymore, I really want to take a picture of you two! Come here, stand together, a little closer, holding hands..." With each instruction he gave, the father and son posed together a lot. With each photo Miranda Quentin takes, she becomes more and more captivated and transforms completely into herself. On the balcony and in the small garden, he photographed the father and son couple without a break. Isaiah Kenton stood beside her, leaning closer, looking at her and praising her. "Well received. They are beautiful." Miranda Quentin waved her hand humbly: "My technical skills are very good, plus I use the phone, but you two are very good models and the backgrounds are amazing too, so every
At the Quantico Group.In the office of the president of Quantico Groups, Ivy Haddock was sitting in front of the computer with her eyes glistening with seriousness.She was surfing through the documents of the reports that came through just now. While Roland Peyton was sitting on a sofa across from the room, his long legs were stretched out over each other and they dangle in the air as he waited.Just then, she heard a soft knock on the door.“Come in” She said without raising her brows to look at the door. After her response, a young, beautiful girl within the age range of twenty years old came into the room, bearing a tray with two cups of coffee and another two with two cups of tea.She smiled brightly and said, “Maam, your order is here” Her assistant, Rose Penty said and dropped the tray of coffee on the table. “Thank you, Rose” Ivy Haddock finally raised her eyes and glance at the table. Then, she signals the assistant to leave. After that, she stood up from her chair and
"Shit!" Miranda hissed and immediately got up from the bed when she felt a familiar feeling after she woke up. She rushed to their bathroom sink andpuked. She was puking but there was nothing that was coming out of her mouth. She even used her finger to let it out but there was none. She washed her face and gripped the edge of the sink. Then she looked at her face in the mirror panting. She had been like this for almost a weekalready. And she was familiar with this scene already. Because she had experienced this in the past. She went back to their bedroom andchecked the pregnancy test kit in the pouch. She just bought that yesterday when she went shopping with Brian. “Found ya!" She already found the pregnancy kit. When she returned to the bathroom and did what she must. She laid the kit on the sink then she walked back and forth to kill time. Her hands were sweaty and she could feel her heartbeat race. And after three minutes had passed, Miranda stopped walking and picked u
Time ticked forward slower than it usuallyseemed. At this moment, Isaiah felt like one of hisfeet was buried in the grave. He knew how complex their situation was, so he had the faintest idea about how Miranda would react. His face turned pale as nervousness crept into his bones. Anxious, he clenched both of his hands into fists. Just when anxiety was about to get thebetter of him, warm and soft lips brushed against his lips, calming his body in a heartbeat. In a seemingly endless night, their lipsentwined.“Don't be sorry, I'm glad that it was you because I couldn't be more thankful that it's not somebody else," Miranda reassured as she held Isaiah's face. The overpowering flames had finally subsided, the ashes had turned into soil, the flowers had suddenly bloomed, and the tunnel finally ended. Enchanting as it might sound, everythingjust fell into its rightful place. Isaiah wrapped Miranda in his arms, unwilling to let go. With hungry desires, he kissed her deeply, someh
Their curious eyes followed the older manas he entered this heated stage of familydrama. The man looked at Maya withextreme displeasure and lambasted hermercilessly. "To think that young lady like you could besuch a vixen. How dare you spout lies andsmear someone's innocence with yourslanderous accusations! Stop making rumors out of nothing! I examined Ms. Miranda and Brian myself, and they matched by a ninety-nine point nine percent! Brian was her flesh and blood. If anyone has any doubts, they can come to me" The older man was Richard Newton. He was the previous directorate in the Imperial Military Hospital, and his words alone were enough to discard Maya's claims down the drain. As soon as they saw him, Richard instantly dispelled everyone's doubts. What more could his words have done? It's slapped those who bear evil in their minds hard. The whispers of these vultures preying onthe Kenton family's situation buzzed through Maya's deafening silence. "So it's true!” "De
Time flew by with days painted withdifferent colors. Some days were grim butbrighter on other occasions, and today might be just one of those days. And today was a special day. It wasIsaiah's birthday. People gathered around the garden of theKenton family villa. The guests' faces gleamed with smiles as they sang along to the melodious happy birthday song. A towering ten-layered birthday cake sat on a cart, slowly getting pushed by Jake toward the celebrant. Series of applause clasp to the song's melody as they greet Isaiah and his family auspiciously. Miranda, Brian, and Isaiah were standingbeside each other, dressed in similar colors. The joy reflected in their eyes rubbed on their guests as they watched with them, the strips of their memories on the ED screen. Seeing their harmonious display of familial love, the guests found them pleasing to the eye. Most of those photos put on display weresecretly taken by Jake. Miranda glanced at Isaiah and his brother in surprise and
A week later, The Entertainment City held an official press conference where they released an official video of the evidencethey'd gathered. Isaiah found the video inthe surveillance camera at the company'sfront door and intercepted the video of Lucas and Miranda's conversation, but the sound was not recorded. Fortunately, Miranda had the audiorecording with her. Because the video was taken at night, thethe image was very dark, and only two peoplecould be seen in the distance: a woman and a slightly taller man. Miranda's voice was Heard, so who was the other person? Just say whatever you are going to say,"Miranda's voice said. The man then stammered before asking,"Miranda, could we... Could we start over?"When everyone was at a loss for words, the man continued to speak, "Miranda, I am well aware that I am far from perfect and that I have made a plethora of decisions that I am not proud of. However, I regretted it all. Although it took me a long time to realize my mistake
Meanwhile at Kenton's Group. As soon as Martin heard that Miranda was coming. he hurriedly went to the lobby to greet and fetch her in person. Seeing him, Miranda followed behind and took the direct elevator to the top floor. After accompanying her to Isaiah's officeMartin left immediately. Miranda, who had maintained a seriousexpression upon arriving at the company.immediately changed her temperament after closing Isaiah's office door. She dashed toward him as she happily said "I'm here, honey” “0f course, you are!” Isaiah said andautomatically raised his head from the pile of documents to review on his tableAs soon as his eyes fell on her, his expression froze. His eyes darkened and he pursed his lips. It was the same school uniform. With her short skirt, hair tied in ponytails,bare face, and rosy lips, she looked nothing like an artist who had been working in the entertainment industry for so long. Instead, she looked like a carefree and innocent college student. Mira
After a heartfelt conversation, Emily andMiranda went home together. As soon as Brian saw the latter, heimmediately dashed toward her. of course, Miranda welcomed the little kid with a big tight hug. However, her face was full of faint traces of distress. Emily's story kept replaying in her mind, so she couldn't help but wonder how hard it must've been for Brian to lose up and open his heart again after being betrayed by the person he trusted so much. Having known everything that hadhappened, Miranda found Brian's trust and dependence on her in a different light. She was suddenly enlightened about how much weight they possessed. Isaiah approached not long after, so Emilylooked at him in all seriousness. Then, she said, "Isaiah, come with me first. I have something to tell you” Isaiah glanced at Miranda first before going after his mother. After ensuring that they were far enoughfrom the two, Emily faced her son and said, “I told Miranda that someone pretended to be Brian's
“Don't mind that guy, sweetheart. You're only lowering yourself to that trash's level if you do," Miranda reminded. Her eyes carried an ominous stillness behind. 'Is it possible? Miranda scornfully repeated in her mind. Where did he even get the courage to askthis question?' she scoffed internally. The following day, Miranda unexpectedlyreceived a call from Brian's grandmotherEmily. She asked to meet with her at a cafe over the phone, saying she had something important to tell her. Although a little confused, Miranda agreed, and the two met up at the designated location. When Miranda got to the cafe, she instantly felt something heavy might fall. Emily sat before Miranda in rooted silence, carrying a truckload of emotions on her shoulders. “Thanks for seeing me today, Miranda," Emily said breaking the ice. “It's my pleasure." Miranda smiled which Emily returned. “ I came to see you today for two reasons. I wanted to thank you for everything you did for Brian and Isaiah. And,
Hearing Floral and Victor's anger forMiranda, Maya smirked. Then she dramatically cried again "Dad, Mom, I did not really suffer because of her. This is a good thing. Because l can finally concentrate on helping you run the company. I know that there are a lot of things to do in the company right now” she uttered. "Maya, it's fine. If you really thought of this well, then we will support you. Everything will pass, too. Just remember that mom and dad will always be by your side," Floral softly said. The couple spent more time comfortingtheir supposed daughter inside Victor'sstudy room. Soon, Maya decided to leave the room.Only Victor and Maya were left inside.Victor was furious about what had happenedto Maya. He grimaced after reading anewspaper headline. It was about Maya and Kate again.Their pictures together just reminded him of the truth. ....... Maya decided to conduct her pressConference at Newton Hotel.
