“He tried so hard to replicate the real thing, it’s impressive…well I’m back now, and your services are no longer needed.” Myra knows this is the end of her and Pierce, seeing the girl who looks strikingly similar to her holding his arms in the hospital. No amount of hoping she can win him over, and living in a world of delusion can make the multi billionaire CEO, Pierce Blackwood hers. To him, she’s just a stand-in, after all. When Pierce’s ‘true love‘, Tami, returns, Myra knows it’s time to step away. There’s no need to humiliate herself anymore when the man she loves clearly has his attention on someone else. Determined to reclaim her dignity, Myra breaks up with Pierce, blocks his number, and decides to leave the past behind. But just when she thinks she’s free, Pierce corners her once again, unwilling to let go. “Are you done with this tantrum? Now come home with me.”
View MoreThis little coffee shop definitely knew how to brew a good coffee, and their buttered scones were delicious which was all I was eaten since I tasted it while Carter explored their menu.”Their quiche could definitely use some work.” He gave his final verdict and dropped his spoon, I giggled and took a bite out of a fresh scone. “What?”“I think you’re adorable.” I admitted, the way your brows furrowed in concerntration as you pass judgement…that’s tv worthy stuff.” His expression softened into a smile. “But it does make me curious about your cooking. Tell me this, do food critics usually know how to cook?”“Not always, their gift is in the tasting. But I know how to, that’s my secret weapon, if I made anything for you you would be trying to jump me right now.” He winked at me and I grinned. “That good huh? As good as Angie’s?”“I don’t think I’ve tried anything of hers.”“You have. At my birthday.” He paused, “She’s got a gift.”“She’s amazing-“I felt a tap on my shoulder and turne
My body froze for a split second and then yielded to his touch before I could make a brain connection. No no no no. It took immense self will to move my head back when all I wanted to do was bury my fingers in his scalp. He leaned with me, his hold on me tightening. I tried to push against his chest but there was barely any space between us. I bit down. A setting that was all to familiar happened in front of my eyes. Him drawing back in surprise his eyes on my face wondering if I meant to do it, and then realization. His arm loosened from around me and I shoved him away, stumbling and still being caught by him. He set me right on my feet and stepped back. His eyes searching my face. I remembered when this had first happened. He had been angry, threatened my life if I left him. Now, Pierce had the most heart wrenching look of hurt on his face. I could still taste his blood in my mouth and it made my stomach coil. “We’re never going back to this Pierce. No matter how strong our phys
I watched as he moved closer to me. “Your ruby? What happened to doll.” “You are everything, Myra. My ruby, my fireball, my doll. Mine…mine, mine.” He stopped a few inches from me, his hand in his pocket. “But if you like doll, then doll it is. You came all this way just to run away from me.” I turned away from him. “I hope you don’t plan on asking why. Besides, it’s bad publicity to be seen with you, I don’t want you to ruin my image Pierce.” He was grinning when I turned. “If I wasn’t the egoistic son of a bitch that I am, that would’ve hurt my feelings, Myra.” “Good, you know how I felt.” He withdrew his hand from his pocket and my heartbeat quickened. It was just a fucking hand you idiot, I swore to myself. Then he started a slow stroll toward me and my panic was justified. “I do. but I didnt mean it like that.” “It’s not what you meant it’s what you did, and it doesn’t matter anymore.” I backed away. “It does, but not tonight. So, don’t I play the part of the
My face twisted into a scowl as I watched her approach him, slip on an imaginary barrier and fall towards him for him to catch her. It all happened in a second; me stepping forward and being held in place by Rhonda’s strong hands, Tami’s gasp as she fell forward in front of him, the look of surprise that crossed her face when she continued to fall past him and then the sound of her body as it hit the floor. Through it all, Pierce’s eyes never left my face. He pulled his gaze downward finally and looked at Tami- who for some reason was still on the damn floor- with indifference. Why was no one else moving, everyone was waiting, barely breathing as they watched the drama unfold. She moaned as she sat up, raising her hand to her head. “I don’t feel so good, Pierce?” He lifted his drink to his lips, finished it off in one gulp, and then he casually stepped over her form to get to the bewildered waiter, and grabbed another drink. Just like that the quiet spell was broken and soun
I dug in my heel, forcing him to stop. Finally he turned, “well?”He sighed, “Before your press tour began, I paid Pierce a visit. Told him about the press tour and that him pestering you would distract you, make you fail. So we both came to an agreement tht it would be best if he stayed away till it was over.” He finished. “I shouldn’t have mentioned it out there.”“You spoke to him for me?” I asked softly.“I wanted your premiere to be a success.”I wrapped my hand around his neck and brushed my lips over his lips as his hands rose to steady me against him, his eyes bore into mine like he wanted more but didn’t want to voice it. We should’ve passed this stage. I hadn’t kissed him since the night of my birthday, and so far my only excuse for not exploring what I had with Carter, was that I had been so busy with work. He hasn’t said anything about that night and neither had I. A few times I would catch a strange look on his face, but then it would be gone, and he would flash me one of
my face hurt from smiling so much. And not just the smiles of today, but all the smiling I had to do for the past months for publicity, but God is was so worth it. It shouldn’t have surprised me but I still needed time to wrap my head around the fact that our movie was a blockbuster! “Myra, can you smile for the camera.” A reported said and I fought the urge to roll my eyes. All I’ve been doing was smiling. Jace tugged me closer to make room for Roberto on the red carpet. “When this is over, I don’t think your face is gonna go back to normal.” He whispered. “I’m gonna be buried like this.” I joked back. Jace and Roberto were with me every step of the way. This had been the most hectic months of my life but I had them ribbing and teasing the whole time. O’Malley joined us and took the middle position as we posed for more photos. Then, other male casts that were afilited with my character, then all of us. “Wow, Myra. Talk about an army of men.” A reporter joked as Jace and Robert
She heard strangled sobbing and realized that the sounds were coming from her. Her shoulders shaking with every sob that racked her body, she ran her fingers over little. She was the same size in the painting as she was that day. I glanced at her own on the table at back down at the painting in my arms. “My little girl.” I whispered, wiping away a tear that would’ve fallen on it. With unsteady steps I walked to the memorial and rearranged it, placing the painting at the back and sat back on my knees to look at it. I imagined celebrating my birthday with her here. It would’ve been more joyful. Maybe she would’ve cried and I would have to leave early, or she would sleep soundly through the whole thing and I would brag that my daughter was not a fussy baby. All that had been taken away from me. I trudged back into bed, lifting the covers to climb back in, but stopped as a thought crossed my mind. He wouldn’t, I told myself, but the thought remained. Silently I replaced the covers
Hannah shrugged and glanced across the room to Damien who was talking to Roberto. “Because you look at Damien and me now and think we’re so perfect, but it wasn’t always like this between us. I-“ she sighed, “I’ve failed him before, and I thought there was no coming back from that. That he would hate me forever and that would be the end of us. Imagine if that happened Myra, I wouldn’t have the love of my life.” She finished in a slightly lower tone, her eyes never leaving Damien. It sounded unreal. That she and Damien, the man I had watched dot on her like she was his star, ever had a problem big enough to end them. She turned to me.“So maybe I am pushing Pierce on you a tad, but I know what it feels like to be in his shoes. I’ve seen you both together, Myra, and I know there’s something there. When the whole world believed there was a ten percent chance you were together, I thought it was fifty. Or that something would happen in the future. I’m not asking you to forgive him now, I
Alarms were a thing of the past for me, and this particular morning, I wanted to sleep in till we had to get dressed and visit mum. She had gotten a lot more better, and was now trusted to use a cane to move around the gardens to look at the daisies and see how they were coming up.One more week had passed since I had last been on set. I had only met with Madame Camille and her assistants to get my measurements and compare the effects of certain fabrics on my skin tone. I knew O’Malley and the press team were working on a system I would use in the following weeks for the publicity interviews and I both dreaded and looked forward to it. Suddenly the doors to my room burst open, snapping me awake. I groaned and rolled, covering the top half of my face with my blanket. “Wake up bitch!” Lily yelled at me. I heard Angie tutting disapprovingly behind her, before I opened my eyes. Lily plopped on the bed and dragged me up before placing a small pointy hat on my head, letting the st
“You’re here finally.” Pierce growled in the darkness. “I’m sorry, my session went on a bit longer today because Sarah came in late.” I explained breathlessly, feeling around the wall for the light switch. I knew better than to keep him waiting. “Leave it. Come to me,” he commanded. I did as I was told, dropping my duffel bag to the floor as I ambled towards him. “Clothes .” My pulse quickened in my veins and I tugged off my cardigan, my pants, bra… then I stopped. I could tell he was in a bad mood, one that didn’t have anything to do with me being late. I shivered lightly in anticipation and waited for him to close the space between us. When he stood, he pressed my semi naked body to his fully clothed one and released my hair from its ponytail prison. “How was your day,” I asked tentatively, as he ran his fingers on my hips, tracing an invisible line to my waist. “I’ll show you.” He said, and picked me like I weighed nothing. Naturally my legs wrapped around him as he ...
