Chapter 12 The car pulled over in front of the building where the shooting seemed to be taking place, Avery opened her mouth in total bewilderment upon seeing the fans who were screaming out their lungs.“What's going on?” “Why are they here? “How did they know shooting would begin and the drama would be shot here?” Avery asked.“Since the promotion of the drama is quite low and the company might not promote it well, I decided to use this medium to promote it by linking the news of the shooting area.”“I'm sorry, forgive me this time, I promise not to do such and fight my way to get your drama your desired promotions!” Mr James.“You don't have to apologize, I was just surprised to see many people waiting at the shooting area,”“But don't you think it'll affect the period of the shooting? You know how fans can be, what if they decided to come over here throughout the one month of the shooting?” She asked, thinking about the consequences of having the fans around.“Have you forgotte
Chapter 13The person in front of her was her nemesis!The person holding her arm tightly looks innocent but she was the cause of her downfall.Her gaze hardened as shivers ran down her spine, the one who had ended her life in her previous life was right beside holding her claiming she was her role model.Avery's breath charged with unresolved vendetta as she looked at the hand clutching tightly around her arm. Avery's gaze was like a deity looking down upon an ant.She wasn't that surprised when she heard her saying she was her role model. Of course, Eileen was a role model to some young lady, she has close to 17 million followers on Instagram which made her a top actress who has paved the way.“Excuse me, can you let go?” Avery calmly asked, she walked towards Bianca who seemed to be ignoring her.“Miss Bianca, it's nice working with you,” Avery said and brought out her hands for a handshake which left almost everyone in shock, even Bianca couldn't hide the shock on her face.“You
Chapter 14Sweat could be seen at the corner side of her face anytime Bianca who is playing Mia's role got close to her for the kissing scene. Avery never thought kissing would be more challenging than she could ever imagine.Cut!“Eileen, can you show willingness on your face? You've been shooting other scenes perfectly, what's wrong now?” The director was a little bit irritated by the situation.“I'm sorry, director, I have no reason to justify my actions.” She pleaded.She has played the part where the moment she caught her boyfriend cheating, she went straight to a club to clear her head and get drunk and then met with Mia where things got intense between them.Actions!In the scene, the atmosphere was charged with tension as the characters indulged in their characters, and emotions reached their peak point. Amidst a heated exchange at the bar, The first female lead, Mia, impulsively pushed the second female lead, Eileen, against the bar cabinet.Since they were both drunk, the mo
Chapter 15“What the heck?” Avery curled her fist underneath before flipping back her hair.Avery couldn't help but see the scornful smile on the unknown maid's face, she tried confirming it but her gaze was straightened and no sign of scornfulness could be seen.“Ma'am, I'll advise you to go now as she's, waiting in the living room,” The maid named Shirley said with a grin as she slightly bowed respectfully at Avery with a cunning smile.“Damn it!”Avery cursed angrily watching her retreating figure till she was out of sight, she knew the maid had more under her sleeve and she was ready to deal with her but not now. She needs to come up with a big plan to stop the woman.“Call Lucien, call him now!” Avery yelled furiously as she couldn't even come up with a single plan.“What do you mean, Miss? You don't have Master Lucien's number.” Emily calmly said.“This can't be freaking happening to me! What do I tell her, how should I explain that his unconscious son is nowhere to be found!” Av
Chapter 16“Mother, let me cook………..ah”Avery tried to play her card fully at that moment but her mother-in-law wasn't buying it and angrily gulped down the whole content in her wine cup before hurling it in the direction of the maids.Some maids narrowly dodged the glass that smashed on the ground and shattered into pieces but along the way, some were not too fast to move which made some of the broken pieces pierce into their skins.Avery was so scared but still she kept a straight face not moving an inch from where she sat. She never thought the woman would lose her patience in that manner. “Like mother like son!” She thought.“Get lost!” Avery said she could not show any weakness or pity to those maids. The only thing she could do was to send them away using an arrogant tone.The maids bowed respectfully and backwardly left the living room not without Shirley's mouth curved into a sly smirk, she knew there was no other way out for the bratty Eileen.“Now, get up and lead the way!”
Chapter 17 His musky fragrant smell which she had just inhaled filled her nostrils as both locked their gazes. “Thank you ….” She mumbled trying to get out of his grip. “Hey, let go….!” Before she could finish her words, she suddenly felt the person who was supporting her waist with his hands collide on her chest. “Ah…. What do you think you are doing, Lucien?” Avery uttered in confusion. Avery's gaze widened in terror as she gasped in surprise as the man's head pressed hard against her chest, she tried to pull away, but he was just too heavy. “What does it seem like I'm doing?” Lucien mumbled unknowingly. “Hey, why did you get wasted to this extent?” Avery asked, concerned. Avery stared through his face and could see how flushed he was, his face had turned red. Lucien blinked twice “Does it seem like I am drunk? I am not.” “Since you're not drunk, Can you get off me, first? So that I can get some maids to take care of you.” Silence erupted the room instantly, as Lucien seem
Chapter 18Avery watched as Lucien's lips were getting closer to hers when the image of her ex-husband lashed into her head.“ Jake..”Pain churned in her heart as she tried to suppress those deadly memories of “Jake”. If it was possible Avery suddenly wanted her previous memories to be flushed out of her brain. Those memories were nothing but bad memories to her anyway.Before Lucien's lips could touch hers she knocked him out instantly and his head fell on her chest. Before knocking Lucien out, she couldn't help but remember how she was unable to give birth throughout her previous marriage days. She couldn't help but think what if she was meant not to be able to give birth in her current life also?Even though she heard the doctor had thoroughly checked the current body, she still couldn't help but be worried.Though the body wasn't hers, her soul was inside the body which means there's fifty to fifty percent that barrenness might affect the body while there is a chance it might n
Chapter 19Butler Lee had his mouth covered in surprise as he watched the CCTV, he didn't mean to invade his master's privacy but had to check the CCTV since there was a rumor circulating in the villa that Miss Eileen didn't sleep in her room.He was in shock upon seeing the dramatic scene in the video, he could see the cold-hearted man leaning toward his wife. If not because he had known the man for years he would have thought he was trying to get intimate with his wife but knowing how he despised the woman, he couldn't help but think it was his eyes playing some tricks on him.“Butler Lee, did you find anything? Is she out of the mansion?” Emily asked worriedly banging the door. She had requested the man to check the CCTV camera for Eileen's details since she doesn't have access as a maid.Butler Lee almost immediately turned off the camera before dashing out of the room before she could come inside, he couldn't help but feel the tension as he didn't know what to say at that moment.
Chapter 74Her slender fingers brushed gently against the petals, a soft gasp escaping her lips at the unexpected chill that seemed to emanate from the flower. But as she grasped the stem, intent on plucking it from the soil, a shadow fell across her path which shocked her instantly.“What do you think you're doing?!” The man's voice growled.The deep magnetic voice startled her, almost making her stumble over nothing. Her grip on the orchid tightened and unknowingly the thorn on it pricked on the palm with the orchid flower in her hand.“L…LLL….” She sucked in cold air. “What are you doing here, Mr Lucien?” She stuttered beneath her words as she tried to recover her composure she hid the flower behind her back.Even though she was caught by the man, she wasn't ashamed of her act, rather she was so happy that she was able to touch the rare blue orchid flower.“Brother!”Stephanie screamed as she ran towards her brother with a joyful expression on her face. She was so excited because sh
Chapter 73Avery stepped inside the reserved greenhouse and she had her mouth widely opened for a second period. She was instantly greeted by a burst of warmth and a riot of vibrant color. The sun's rays filtered through the glass-paned roof, casting a golden glow on the lush that surrounded her.She has seen places like this inside movies, and seeing it now life and directly seemed to leave her in shock. She never thought the greenhouse could be this great. What was she expecting? It's the richest family in the whole of New York, so it shouldn't be a surprise to her at all!Despite how rich the Smith family was she has never once heard or even come across news about them in her previous life. She signifies how lonely and how she has lived a lonely life.Not too long later, furious Stephanie ran inside breathing heavily as if she were in a race competition “How dare you enter my brother's reserved greenhouse? Do you know he can sue you for barging inside despite seeing the big banner
Chapter 72Despite seeing the sweat dripping off the guard's face, the old man still believed his grandson was somewhere inside the mansion. He doesn't believe Lucien would leave just like that with his wife.The old man sat back on the chair, his expression one of resigned patience, as he waited for his grandson with his gaze fixed thoroughly on the entrance door of the dining room.Everywhere was silent, nobody could think of anything or say anything upon seeing the scary look on the old man's face. Everyone knew how hard he took his grandson and wouldn't hesitate to do anything for him, especially Lucien.The old man's expression suddenly turned sour just like that within a twinkle of an eye. The man's gaze was thoroughly fixed on the clock which was ticked by and everywhere went silent and calm. A sense of unease began to creep over him that the old man couldn't help but be shifted on his seat, his gnarled hands fidgeting endlessly in his lap.All those acts of the old man were b
Chapter 71“Are you okay? You've been silent since you got back,” Jake whispered into Isabella's ears and of course, she still kept a straight expression while munching on her food.Isabella tightened her grip beneath the table while trying to keep a straight expression without anyone knowing she was annoyed or anything happening to her at that moment.Her features looked calm as she took the glass of wine in front of sipped from the wine. Every moment speaks of elegance as she performs a poise of grace despite the anger running through her veins.She was about to go crazy but she was still able to keep composure without bothering to spare the useless man beside her. Of course, the man was nothing but useless to her, not after what happened to her that made her understand she had a very useless person in her life.Beneath the surface, a dull ache was growing In the pit of her legs and stomach, a slow-burning pain that threatened to overwhelm her nobody knew what she was going through
Chapter 70 “Master, do you want to follow them?” Butler Lee asked as the man stood behind his master whose attention was on the two women in the front.The man stood still in the hallway, his wife following his wife's retreating figure as she was being accompanied by his younger sister, he was aware of the fact that they weren't on good terms yet she still asked her for a tour.Lucien couldn't understand the way the lady thought at times, thinking about it he couldn't help but wonder why she would suddenly request a tour From someone that isn't on good terms with her.He knew her to be intelligent, resourceful, and could easily handle herself in any situation but still, he couldn't help but be worried. Lucien was aware of how his sister could be at times which was why he couldn't help but be a little bit worried about the two ladies.“Master, Master…. Master….!” Lucien was lost in thought that he didn't hear when Butler Lee spoke to him until he was gently tapped by the man before he
Chapter 69Avery's gaze blazed with a Venomous expression on her face, the lady was pulling on her tail and it was high time she put her in her place. She looked towards Isabella who was silently concentrating on her food. She believed she was able to put a person like Isabella in her place. Putting Stephanie in her place wouldn't be that hard.Avery's voice was the epitome of feigned politeness as she turned to look at Stephanie, a saccharine smile pasted on her face like a mask. “Dear sister, I was wondering if you might be kind enough to give me a tour of the residence,” She said, her tone was so cool and conversational that one wouldn't be able to suspect a single thing.“I am quite curious about where my husband grew up,” Avery calmly spoke to provoke the lady who wouldn't hesitate to react.Stephanie's brow arched, her expression a perfect mirror of Eileen's words “Of course, sister, why not? I have always been by my brother's side. I can even brief you on every little thing you
Chapter 68 Mrs Smith was the only one who could see the interaction between his son and the so-called wife. The woman wasn't expecting to see such an interaction that she couldn't help but wonder if there was something she was missing or she had missed. The woman was aware of his son's temperament but seeing them bicker together, she couldn't help but stare at Eileen with different thoughts in her head. Mrs Smith was aware that his son's marriage was based on business purposes and was sure Lucien was aware of the same thing. The woman couldn't help but feel strange as their interaction seemed more familiar to her. The woman was about to speak up but Grandpa Smith was so fast that he interrupted her unknowingly “Son, when are you giving me a grandchild?” Grandpa Smith asked, resulting in a big choke on Avery's end. The question stuck through Avery like a blow of the gut, catching her off guard. Of course, she wasn't expecting the old man to blurt like that, but considering the old
Chapter 67He's nowhere to be F. O . U. N .D,” She said emphasizing on the word found, before making her way to the entrance door but not without stepping on her as if it was unintentional, whereas it was intentional.At moment she couldn't help but to feel proud of herself with a grin playing at the corner of her mouth, she instantly pulled the door unknowingly that the Butler Lee was leaning on the door trying to hear her conversation, the moment she pushed the door opened Butler Lee stumbled, his balance tipping precariously on the edge backwards, almost at the end of going down . But then, a brave Avery didn't hesitate to stepped into the fray, extending her arm in a heroic gesture of support. She wrapped her hand around man's old waist, the warmth of her touch seeping through his clothes as she steadied his flailing form.Their eyes met, a glint of admiration and respect shining in hers as the man regained his footing, gratitude swelling in his heart for her timely .Almost imm
Chapter 66Doesn't that makes us family?” She mumbled teasingly that one won't have to think twice seeing the sarcasm in her words.“If that's the definition of your own family then I'm sorry you need to start from creche to know the meaning!”“You!” Isabella sputtered in fury.“Oh yes, me! What's wrong with me!” Avery demanded finally seeing the expression she has long seeing on her.You decided to show your real expression today, “oh please, go easy on me because I don't know the next thing you would do to me!” She pleaded making her feel she has the upper hand.Of course Isabella has always been trying so hard to keep a smiley expression on when ever she speak to Eileen while using the word role model as a cover up to be able to convince her that she's a good friend but her face suddenly twisted in anger. That after a few words from Eileen, her true feelings exploded out of her, bursting her bubbles as she clenched her fists and her whole body shook with anger.“If you have anythi
