Chapter 14ISLA“No, we are not.” I quickly replied and moved my gaze away from Phoebe who in turn looked away too.“I was only kidding, you didn’t have to snap at me.” The staff chuckled as if she was just trying to laugh out the awkwardness. “I snapped? I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to.” I chuckled.“You kind of had the same physique from the back view and it was just an harmless compliment.” The staff explained, I felt bad since I had misunderstood her.But I thought of it, I didn’t change my last name and it was possible if people gets to find out we are sisters later.Well, when I get to that bridge, I will think of how to cross it. But for now, I needed to focus on something more important.The shoot was finally over and I took a cab home. Mel and I met just right outside the gate.“Hey, just coming back?” I asked with a smile as we both walked in.She just sighed. I noticed she was not in a good mood.“Did something happen?” I asked as she input the passcode and we both got into th
Chapter 15JASMINEI knocked hurriedly on the door as if I was being chased or as if I was chasing after something.Well, it was kinda the latter. You could say I was literally chasing after something even if it wasn't exactly like that.The door opened slightly but I flung the door opened properly."I missed you." I murmured and immediately took his lips in mine.He didn't stay still, he immediately reciprocated.The sound of us kissing filled the room and I was running out of breathe but I didn't care. I was starving—starving of this man, his kiss, his touch and him inside of him.I was starving that it drove me crazy, literally.Dan turned me around aggressively that I hit my back slightly against the wall.I didn't feel anything at that moment as all I felt, was pleasure.Minutes later, we were taking our clothes off.I pushed Dan to the bed and he laid down flat on it. I smirked with my finger in my mouth and a seductive look on my face.Dan smiled. I knelt in front of him and zi
Chapter 16FELIXI woke up, finding myself in the hospital and my body in pains.My right hand was wrapped, I dislocated the hand as I found it out hard to move it.I winced in pain.I saw Jasmine who helped me up.I asked her if she had called anybody in the mansion to tell them that I was in hospital, before she could even reply, the butler and Aiden walked in.But they weren't the only one as Isla came into view, her expression filled with so much worry.Was she perhaps, worried about me? I mentally asked myself even if I already knew the answer to the question.I was the one who was hospitalized and definitely who she is worried about.Jasmine seemed to really not like her presence so they bickered.I could barely even find my own voice; I didn't have the strength to even make her stop.Surprisingly, I heard a tiny voice that just replied at Jasmine's ridiculous words that she's Aiden's mother."Liar. You are not my mother. I do not have a mother."I turned to look properly and it
Chapter 17PHOEBE “Hi AJ.” I smiled widely at AJ as I walked up to him.“Yeah, hi.” He answered rather dullly.He tried to wake away but I quickly put my hand around his arm.He looked up at me and then back at my hand on his.“You know we are the main character and very soon, we will be having intimate scenes even kissing scenes.” I stated.“Okay? What’s your point?” He asked.“We need to have good chemistry to capture the viewers. For that to happen, we need to be close, maybe close friends.What do you say about having a drink tonight?” I asked with a flirty smile.“Excuse me Sofia, you are going too fast, ahead of yourself.” He snapped at me. He quickly removed my hand from his then, moved back a little.I felt insulted.“It’s Phoebe.” I corrected.“Huh?” He looked confused not getting what I meant which made me even more angrier.“My name is Phoebe and not Sofia or whatever. Shouldn’t you at least know your leading lady’s name?” I half yelled at him.I took in a deep breath with
Chapter 18ISLA Just as I bent my head, blood trickled down and touched the back of my palm.And another dropped again.I was almost panicking. What was happening?I raised my head up and looked at the vanity mirror in front of me. The blood came from my nose.I had a nosebleed. I quickly took out a tissue and wiped it off.I went to the restroom to wash my face.I got prepared again and went outside to meet the others.Phoebe blocked my way to stop me from walking away."What do you want?" I asked her nonchalantly."Did the beating put any sense in you at all? Did it make you come back to your senses and the realization that you need to leave?" Phoebe asked with a smirk.I snickered. I moved closer to her and raised my chin up giving her a daring look."Sorry but not sorry, no. The only realization I came to was to stay. It made me even want to stay more and do better.I've told you before Phoebe, I ain't going nowhere." I spat the words at her face and walked away.Does she think
Chapter 19MELAs I stepped out of the crowded elevator, I stumbled and fell.I closed my eyes tight expecting to fall on the hard floor but instead, I felt someone's arm grab me.I slowly opened my eyes and our eyes met. My breathed literally hitched as I was taken aback and stunned.He looked really really handsome and having him stare at me from up close was a different feeling.It was as if he was staring deep into my soul.He looked familiar though. I finally realized who he was, with his hand still firmly on my waist and his eyes staring deeply into mine.He helped me stand up straight while I looked around, avoiding his gaze and seeming shy.I touched my cheeks and they were hot, from blushing.I knew he was handsome but didn't expect him to be this handsome up close."Thank you." I smiled shyly at him."Have we perhaps met before? You look familiar but I can't remember where and when we met." He told me."Uhm, yeah. At the restaurant down Martha." I replied with a smile."Oh,
Chapter 20PHOEBE "How long have we been dating, Joe?" I asked Joe. We were both on the bed as we just had another steamy sex.I was sitting on the bed with that duvet wrapped around my body with my hands holding on the upper part to cover my boobs properly. While Joe was lying on the bed with just the covers on his waist.His upper body was exposed and it was a part of him I never get tired of seeing or admiring.But now wasn't the time to drool over his body I've seen countless times."I asked you a question, Joe." I sighed and ran my hand through my disheveled hair."A little above 5 years? I don't know. I haven't been counting, I don't see why I should." He replied with a shrug."How could you say that to me huh? Are you just keeping me beside you because of the sex? You don't even act like we're in a relationship.You haven't talked about our wedding, your plan on getting married to me. Why? You don't love me enough to get married?" I asked as tears rolled down my face."I'm not
Chapter 21ISLA After the brief encounter with Felix, I made my way to the manager's office.I met the secretary who in turn told the manager that I was around.I was let it shortly after."Good to see you Ms Isla." The manager greeted with a warm smile. I smiled back at him to reduce the tension.My heart was literally thumping while my hand was sweaty.I didn't even know how the manager got to know me that he had to send for me.I was wondering if what transpired between AJ, his girlfriend and I already got to him.Gossips are always easy to get pass everyone."Please have your seat." He told me calmly.The way he looked at me and spoke didn't seem like he was going to chastise me or ridicule me. He seemed friendly and calm."Without sounding rude, please can I know why you sent for me?" I asked calmly."Well...I came to the filming set few days ago and I happened to see you. Your acting was amazing and you did your scene in one shot.I heard you don't cause the people on set probl
