Lena pov It’s been weeks that I have been in Gray house,I wasn’t sure why he was keeping me around and why his so protective of me. I was tired of pretending that I don’t see him, I truly do. My heart wants him, I wanted him but I was scared of his gay partner,I don’t want my sex tape to be posted Why does he even want me when he has a partner already. I was getting tired and weak of seeing him everyday but I had to pretend that I don’t feel his presence. “Can I come in,Miss?” Grace the chief of female staff asked knocking”. “Huh..Sure,please come in”. I said not sure why she was here. “Master asked to see you”.Grace said softly. “Why? I asked surprisingly. “I’m not sure,Miss. He said you should come to his room”.Grace replied bowing her head. “What! His room?Why would he asked to see me in his room?” I questioned shockingly. “He didn’t mention,Miss. I shall take my leave me”. Grace replied quietly shutting the door as she walked out. I couldn’t think of why
Gray pov The kisses,the touched and her begging for more kept making me want to tear her apart. She suddenly stopping me and telling me about some gay shit got me pissed,now I know why she has been avoiding me. She didn’t even give me a chance to explain,she believed a total stranger, I shouldn’t have allowed her leave without explaining myself but i was just angry and disappointed. Who could that be? Who has been trying to come in between us. I wasn’t sure of anything anymore,what was really happening,everything was just happening so fast. I needed to take a break and reprocess how everything started. Lena pov: I rushed to my room not sure of what I just did, I just don’t want to get carried away and lose my face in the industry,I wasn’t going to give Sophia a chance to mock me. I was trying to calm myself down and I got a message. My heart skipped while opening the message. “Seems you really don’t want to stay away from my boyfriend,huh?. You are too stubbor
Gray pov I needed to make things right, I have to clear her doubts. I wasn’t comfortable with myself as I keep piercing around my room and I decided to go speak with Lena,this feelings were killing me. I wasn’t sure what she has done to me but I was certain I didn’t want to be free from her whatever it was that she has done to me. I opened my door as I stumbled upon Lena about knocking on my door. “Uhhh! I just want to talk.” Lena said staring at me. “Do you want to come in and talk or..”I asked composing myself hoping she would agree to coming inside my room. “Sure,no problem.”Lena answered giving a warm smile. I opened the door as we both walked in finding way to my sofa. We seated and I stayed quite waiting patiently for her to spill. “I should asked you if you were gay, I was wrong and I am sorry. I was just scared cause he threaten to post my sex tape, I wasn't ready to be dragged on the internet.”Lena explained putting her face away. “Do you want to tell me wh
Leo pov What do you mean by Gray bought the entire Media house? You are the director,and I need you to call him and refund him,just give me some time and I will pay for it.” I instructed piercing around my office. “I’m sorry but I can’t do that. We need people like Gray in our industry to boast our visibility,we only wanted to sell off some shares but we are really low on cash, Mr Gray promised to give us some share despite buying the whole industry. He is a good man and I believe you will like him.”The director explained. “Get out of my office.” I yield throwing books off my desk. This wasn’t the plan,I am never working under Gray, I only wanted to get closer to Lena. Having Gray around is going to be tough. Lena might not be Oliv but I need to keep my eyes on her because Oliv will definitely show her pathetic face. That woman destroyed my face,she destroyed a lot of things for me and finally escaped. I need to find her and kill her first before she get to Gray,Gray must
Lena pov I wasn't sure why Lily has been avoiding me but I needed to know what the problem was. After the shooting, I waited for her that the parking lot. “Can we talk, did I do something wrong. You've been avoiding me.” I asked as she walked to my direction not sure what I had done wrong. “ Belive me, you are not the problem Lena. I will advise you also to stay away from me for your own good, please.”lily answered quickly walking away. I couldn't wrap my head around what was happening, I was about to enter the car when one of the crew members ran to me that the director wanted to see me. “I followed him, sighting the director sitting alone flipping through a book,I couldn’t tell why he could ask for me when everybody had clearly left. “I won't take much of your time,Lena. I won’t be available for a very long while. Another person will be in charge of everything,every members of crew will be reporting to him. Please be at your very best behavior.” He said as he continue
Gray pov Chris had called me explaining what had happened on the set today,he had lost track of Lena. I checked my phone tracking her location and I hurriedly rushed to her house with Theo. I wasn’t sure what she was capable of doing, I feared she might harm herself. I found my way inside her room using a spare key as she won’t open after several knocking. Her eyes were red and swallowed from crying,she didn’t even pay attention to me, she begged I leave her alone. I wouldn’t explain to her that I was literally the cause of her problems,I wasn’t ready to lose her, I hated myself for being this selfish. “Come and work with my industry,” I suggested. Making it clear that she doesn’t have to work everyday and every female lead role will be giving to her all time and she will be safe and free from the press media. “Or you can just quit and I will place you on salary,you don’t have to suffer this much,” Lena was in torn as she wiped her tears. “ I have worked so hard,
Oliv pov Why is she getting comfortable there,why is everywhere quite?. This wasn’t how I planned it,killing of the director and framing Leo for it,I also want that bitch gone forever. My chances of getting close to Gray is slim if she’s all innocent. “You will be joining them as a new actress, your surgery won’t let them know that you are the almighty Ella, one of the top actress.I am giving you a new face with your career back,you will go there and do just as I said. They must pay for what I went through,every single person must go down with me.” I said blazing my eyes in anger as I slammed the door,the spin echoing through the apartment. “Stop the stare you idiot. Go fvcking get ready.There is no empathy here,once you fail or disappoint me, I will make your life miserable.” I yelled at Ella causing her to leave the room shaking. This is what I am want, I want to be in charge and in control of everyone. I am taking back Gray and everything that belongs to me,killing and de
Lena pov On the bustling film set, Ella and I were prepared for our pivotal scene. I was confident, commanding presence giving out a radiant smile noticing that Ella was tensed, frustration etched on her face, stumbling over lines and growing resentment. “Cut!” the director shouted. My performance earned applause,” Ella seethed. “You are stealing the scene,” Ella hissed. My eyes narrowed. “ I am just doing my job.” Ella anger boiled, fear of being overshadowed,determination to prove herself. I couldn't stand her irritating character, I excused myself to dress up. I unpacked and rearranged my things and left. Sighting Ella with the director, I knew I had to be careful around them. I walked to the parking lot and drove off. Lily was already at my place and I needed to meet with her before she left. I got home and walked into the kitchen, the aroma was killing and inviting. I explained my encounter with Ella to Lily stealing her meat. I rushed to my room and
Lena paced back and forth in her room,her phone pressed to her ear. The line crackled with static, and Larry voice, distant and muffled,barely reached her. “Larry,can you hear me? What is the update? I waited for your call yesterday since you said you were going to call. “Yeah yeah,Lena. I’m on it. I was going to call you yesterday but something came up, my guys suggested we hang out with some hot chick, I came home pretty wasted. Anyways, I just got a lead. But I need to ask you something, thought you said you only have one child?” Lena sighed,” yes,why?” She asked her voice almost a whisper. “Because according to my source,it was two kids that was taken that day,then we kept digging. Some guy named..what’s his name? Oh, right, Jack. Jack something, I don't really give much fuck about his name though. According to him, a lady came to rent the van from his shop, she claimed she needed it to pack her things because she was relocating. We've has been trying to track the lady but
The silence was deafening. Lena and her husband, once inseparable, sat across from each other at the dining table, a chasm of unspoken words separating them. The soft glow of the chandelier cast long, eerie shadows on the walls, mirroring the darkness that had crept into their relationship. Lena gazed was fixed on her plate, the untouched meal a stark reflection of her turmoil. Her heart ached with a mix of regret and longing. She missed the days when laughter filled their home, when their love was a beacon of warmth and comfort. The ticking of the clock on the wall seemed to amplify the silence, each tick a painful reminder of the time slipping away. They had once shared dreams, hopes, and aspirations. Now, it felt like they were strangers, living under the same roof. Gray,equally lost in thought, kept stealing glance at her. He couldn’t figure why she was so angry at him,he blamed himself for getting drunk that day, all this incident could have been avoided. They finished thei
The morning sun streamed through the window, casting a warm glow on Oliv face. She sipped her water, her gaze fixed on the bustling bush outside the window. Yesterdays conversation with Sebastian replayed I her mind, his words stinging like a fresh wound. His sharp tone, his sarcastic words- it had caught her off guard. She thought she'd finally meet someone that will love her without judging her, shed always admired his quick wit and a d easy charm, but yesterday, he’d shown a side of him, to even think it was not his time of saying that to her. Emily glanced at the entrance, her heart pounding. She was hearing Sebastian's voice, he was probably heading in her direction, she wasn't prepared to face him. Instead, she buried herself in her water, pretending to be lost in thought. She could feel his presence, the weight of his eyes on her, but she refused to look up. She wanted to avoid the awkwardness, the tension, the possibility of another bitter truth from him. “The kids w
The stale air of the basement hung heavy, thick with the scent of fear and dust. Oliv,her heart a leaden of weight, shuffled forward with a tray of untouched sandwiches. The children, huddled together like a frightened birds,met her gaze with defiance. “Come on, now," she said , her voice barely a whisper. "You need to eat. You haven't had anything since..." She trailed off, the memory of their terrified faces when she'd first dragged them down here too painful to bear. “We don’t like this place, we want to go home.” Garry said his voice barely a whisper. Silence stretched between them, the only sound the ticking of an old grandfather clock in the corner. The sandwiches sat untouched, a stark contrast to the emptiness in their hollowed eyes. “You will soon go home, your dad is only making this complicated,trading your life for wealth, is it even worth it?” Oliv sighed.” You will have to eat something,please just have a bite. It will break your mom heart to see you weak,you need
Theo hung up the phone, his heart pounding to his chest. The image of his parents rushing into the operating room flash before his eyes. He couldn't what he'd just heard. Gray knew all these years and kept it from him, his dad was involved. How could he be responsible for his own brothers' deaths? The thought was almost unbearable. Anger surged through him, a hot, consuming fire. He clenched his fists, nails digging into his palms. How could someone so cold, so calculating, be capable of such a heinous act? He'd always seen Gray's dad as a pillar of the community, a successful businessman with a seemingly perfect life. But now, Theo saw a different side of him, a darker, more sinister side. And Gray kept this away from him, was he covering up his father's evil deed? Was he in support? Leo stormed out of his room, his mind racing. He needed to confront Gray, to demand answers. He found Gray in his studying room, lost in thought. Gray looked up, his expression puzzled. “What's
Leo pov I was unsettled, pacing around in his room, Gray was singing the papers today. That shit was supposed to be mine, he was supposed to be handing everything to me today but that old fool decided to outplay and outsmart me. He won't be in that office for long, I will do destroy him. My thought was cut short with call from Peter. “How did it go? Has the papers been signed?” I asked. “No, it was a terrible event.” Peter replied. “What do you mean?” “Old man got pissed,punched Gray on the face, Gray got angry and his men killed almost all old man men. Gray said he had to see his son before any ownership will be transferred.” Peter explained. “And?” I asked “There was no sign of Garry after much wait, only for Sebastian to rush in with bruises that he was ambushed. Guess, old man also have someone that is watching him.” Peter replied. I scoffed,” this is good news,” I said letting out a cold smiling, “at least,no papers were signed and I am sure Gray won’t that s
Leo glanced at his reflection in the bathroom mirror. His face, once a mask of confidence, was now marred with bruise and cuts. Peter and some men had injured him badly on the day of Lena escape. He couldn’t believe Peter could betrayal him like that,he trusted him,he could vow for him but he got it all wrong. After all,everything was survival of the defeated. He decided to go into hiding since they couldn’t kill him that night. ** Flash back to that night. “But boss said we should kill him and come with his head.” One of the men said,his voice barely audible. “I know and I telling you to give me some time, I have been with this man for a while, it won’t be easy for me to just kill him but , I promise to kill him.” Peter replied. “Remember we don’t have much time and you definitely know boss temper. “ another replied yelling out. Leo eavesdrop on their conversations,tears rolled down his cheeks. They were going to kill him,what about his daughter? How will she survive? Who w
Today was the day that Gray had promised to bring Garry back home. Lena paced back and forth, her anxious eyes scanning through the mansion. Her heart pounded in her chest, a restless drumbeat echoing the worry gnawing at her. What is keeping Gray, they should be here by now?” A familiar rumble broke the silence. The engine low growl signaled his return. Lena face lit up with hope. She rushed to the gate,her hand trembling as she watched the car drive in. The car pulled into the driveway, it’s headlights illuminating Gray weary face. Lena smiled faltered as she noticed the absence of their son. Gray stepped out of the car, his shoulders slumped,followed by Theo and Chris. They slightly bowed their head, greeting Lena as they walked passed them. “Where is Garry? her voice, a mere whisper. “Hes…still with Mr Thompson”, he lied, his voice barely audible. Lena's heart sank. Anger, disappointment and fear swirled within her. “ How could this happen? Why ain't you here with ou
As old man men kept falling, a silence descended upon the warehouse. “ I said,fucking make them stop.” Old man yelled out. Gray laughed,” why? Thought this was what you wanted.” He teased. “Fair enough then,” he yelled.” You should be expecting your son’s body if you don’t make them stop this moment.” Gray stared at his men, more like they were enjoying the killing, he signaled Theo to make everyone stop. The place became quite after everyone was calmed. Gary stepped forward,his face a mask of indifference.” Don’t you think it’s over?this is just a signal that you are no match for me. Why can’t you behave like your age,I won’t warn you to trade carefully again.” Gray said his voice barely a whisper. “The game is up, don’t get ahead of yourself.” Old man replied his cutting through the silence. Gray laughed, readjusted his suit as he sit.”why are you just standing there? Call your men,tell them they are wasting my fucking time.” “Why not sign the papers and I will have your
