Into the Unknown

Mila's POV

“Jayden?” I exclaimed. His name sounded a bit familiar, but I couldn't bring myself to remember where I had heard that name. I took a moment to think, but my mind remained blank.

“Aren't you coming?” Jayden said as he stood by the doorway staring at me. I nodded and walked past him.

I stepped on the front porch and raised my head to see a sleek black car. Where is he taking me? I asked myself.

A driver stood by the car door like he was waiting for me to enter. Are you thinking of changing your mind?” Jayden asked.

“No, but this feels sudden. I can't leave my brother here” I said, still hesitant to enter the car.

“Remember, you are doing this for him,” Jayden said, with a low and firm voice. I didn't want to listen to him, but he was telling the truth. Without saying another word I slid into the car.

As we drove off, I found myself staring at Jayden. He sat close to me in silence as I studied his features, and composed expressions. There is somethin

    New RulesMila’s POVThe morning light flickered through the window curtain, piercing my eyelids and waking me up from my slumber. The exhaustion I felt before I slept off lingered, making my head bang with throbbing pain. I forced my eyes open and looked at the room and said to myself.“This isn’t my life”A soft knock on the door brought me out of my tights. I rushed for the bedsheet to cover myself out of impulse. “Who is it?” I yelled with a cracked voice.“Miss Mila, Mr. Jayden requests your presence in the home office” A young female voice announced from the other side of the door. She sounded calm and formal, I guessed it was a maid. Her tone made me feel like I was in a movie. This was certainly a world I didn't belong to.“Okay! Thank you. I would be there, "I managed to respond, my voice barely audible. I swung my legs out of bed and planted them on the soft carpet. The long-expected time had come. The time I faced whatever job Jayden had for me.I quickly got dressed, as I

    First ImpressionsMila’s POV“Let’s start with something simple but elegant,” Lois said, holding up a sleek royal blue dress. “This would bring out your blue eyes,” she added. I took the dress from her and examined it like I knew what I was looking for. But deep down I was genuinely confused about what to pick. All the dresses in that room screamed wealth and elegance. The colors were glamorous and had various interesting colors. From bold to sleek, the dresses and jewelry were all beautiful and expensive, I guess.After a few moments of examining the dress, I gave Lois a confusing look. He responded with a small smile of satisfaction. “That would look good on you, try it,” she said, still maintaining a smile.“It looks good but, isn't it a little too much just to meet business people?” I asked with hesitation in my voice, still fingering the delicate dress.Lois gave a loud laugh before speaking. “Nothing is too much in Jayden's world, trust me. Just try it on, and let's see how it l

    In the SpotlightMila’s POV“Mila? Are you okay?”. The room fell silent, and every gaze stared at me waiting for an answer. I had kept mute for too long and it was becoming awkward. I could hear my heartbeat each pump louder than the last, my mind racing and scrambling for something, anything that might sound convincing.“Oh you know, just a few projects here and there,” I said, with a nervous smile and an awkward laugh. I gave a small pause to observe the situation. I could still feel the curious gaze of everyone on me, so I continued my calculated lie.“You could say I am still getting my feet in” I chuckled and swallowed. Hoping that was enough to convince them and take their attention off me.A few of them chuckled and nodded like they understood the struggles of getting into the industry. I let out a deep breath of relief, I was grateful that my shabby and impromptu answer was at least enough to shift their attention away from me.“Mila has a red eye for choosing roles,” Jayden s

Do you think he's stalking us?” she asked.I took a moment to process her words. Dolph had called some days ago, but now he's calling me junior sister. How is that possible?“So, what did he say?” I asked Lila.“Well, he was just apologizing and begging me to tell you to pick up his calls,” she explained. Yes, I had been ignoring his calls, but that should have given him the hint that I didn't want to talk to him.The last thing I wanted was Dolph harassing my family. After all, he had put me through, he didn't deserve a second of attention from me, let alone access to my family.“Hey Lila, if he calls you again, just ignore him. He's no good to us

    A New HomeMila’s POVSitting inside the car, all I could hear was the quiet humming of the car engine. Jayden and Jett were both silent. Jett constantly stared at everything that flew by as the car drove. Despite his intense concentration on things outside the window, he glanced at me and Jayden occasionally like he was still trying to understand what was going on with us.Jett’s expression had a mix of awe and uncertainty. I also felt that way, the strange gratitude and ringing anxiety that gnawed at the edges of my mind. I couldn't stop myself from thinking of how I got myself into this. Suddenly, I was brought out of my thoughts by Jett's low whistle. I looked up and pulled into the courtyard of Jayden's mansion through the massive gates. Jetts pressed his face against the car windows completely amazed by the sights of the mansion.The massive building loomed over us with so much aura that screamed luxury.

My heart was pounding rapidly inside my chest as the weight of the situation grew on me. The crowd noise died down further, making the moment more intense. As I opened my mouth, I found myself focused on my performance. Every ounce of my energy and emotion poured into the lines I had rehearsed making them raw and come out with so much aura.

    Paths crossMila’s POV “What do I do now?” I asked myself as I tried to come up with a plan to tackle all these matters arising. I wasn't sure if Dolph had backed down completely or if he was planning something new.Secondly, I didn't know who this text was from. The only thing I had gotten straight was reuniting with my siblings. Outside that, I still had countless unanswered questions roaming in my mind. I dragged myself out of bed and headed for the shower. I needed a hot bath; maybe it could clear up the fog in my mind.

    Evil mastermind. Hedda's POV“Mila doesn't belong in this world of fame and power,” I said as I sipped my glass of wine. This world of elegance, power, and fame was all mine. And I can't let anybody take this world away from me. Including that riffraff, Mila. As I scrolled through my phone, I felt immense satisfaction flow through me. “Mila Thomas stepped down from a lead role, due to a controversy swirl” the headlines read boldly on every blog on social media. The managers were so gullible, how easy it was to change their perception of Mila. And make them take such merciless actions towards her. I couldn't believe how fast she had risen to the ranks like she was some kind of movie star. It was irritating to even think about. “Pathetic!” I yelled, setting my phone aside. Mila was nothing but a stray that Jayden picked up and polished. Throwing her into the spotlight was not enough to hide her inferiority. Seeing her backing in Jayden attention was a slap on my face that I ref

I needed to downstairs and eat something. The strength to leave my room came, making me drag my feet down the stairs. The moment I got downstairs, I was greeted by the smell of melted cheese and tomato paste. I scanned the kitchen and saw my siblings, Lila and Jett, with a half-empty box of pizza before them. Jett had a slice midair as I caught him about to stuff his face. “Hey Mila,” Lila said as she looked up. She was surprised to see me. She stared at my puffy eyes and tired expression. “Hey,” I said softly like I was normal, and I didn't cry myself to sleep. Jett turned to me with his mouth full of food. “Hey, do you want some pizza?” He offered, mumbling his words with a full mouth. I gave a small giggle, laughing at his innocence felt good even for a brief moment. “Sure,” I said with a small smile, as I sat close

    Shattered Dreams Mila’s POV “Hello, Mila,” the director's voice came through the phone low and familiar, but it carried a different vibe; one could say it sounded distant and cautious. It lacked the usual warmth and welcoming feeling his voice carried. “Good evening, sir,” I said, keeping my voice steady and composed, but deep down, I wondered what was going on. “Is anything all right?” I asked. He gave a brief pause and this made my pulse quicken. “Mila,” he began. “I have some difficult news, we are stepping you down from the lead role,” he said with a sad tone. His words hit me hard. For a moment, I couldn't breathe or move. “What?” I said, my voice barely audible. “Why? What happened?” I added. “Lately, there has been some talk about you flying around, and those rumors ended up in the wrong ears. I mean the ears of the higher-ups, and they've decided you are no longer a good fit for the lead role” he explained, carefully choosing his words. Each word he voiced felt

The room was a bit quiet for a brief moment as I was looking for another excuse to give Lila. “Why are your eyes reddish, have you been crying? Mila!” Lila yelled as her impatience grew. I forced a weak smile when Lila said. “You promised to tell me all that was going on” I took a deep breath. “Lila, I know I did,” I said, my voice barely audible. I felt guilty for keeping her in the dark. She had always had my back and this was just cruel. But on the other hand, I was just trying to protect her from the dark trauma my past held. I wanted

Tears streamed down my eyes and my mind flooded with random thoughts of Jayden’s Where about.“Where has it gone? Was he doing something reckless? ” I asked myself severally but nothing meaningful could come to my mind. An image of Jayden confronting Dolph flashed in my mind. I couldn't bear the thought of Jayden stooping to Dolph’s level or getting entangled with something dangerous on my behalf.I swallowed hard, forcing myself to breathe.

The more I waited, the more the anxiety ate me up.Suddenly, The door swung open and Jayden walked in. Seeing him safe made a sense of relief wash over me, but instead of a happy smile, a downpour of tears I had been holding spilled over.
