View More“Why are you so freakingly calm?”Dylan finally could not hold it in when the door of the nanny van closed and the vehicle moved. This was the question that kept on spiraling in his mind. He was picturing out how he would calm Ashley down, but it turned out that he was the one who should be calmed! Did the universe turn in the wrong direction today? Was he dreaming? What?!Ashley, who was typing something in her phone, looked up. She chuckled upon seeing the almost-constipated look on Dylan’s face. Rolling her eyes, she said: “You were used as a gun and you did not even know it.”“Huh? What gun? Who was used? Me?”Ashley proceeded on telling him what she noticed and her theory. Dylan was dumbfounded. He deeply pondered about the industry for a moment and Ashley let him be. It was better this way. With this serving as a lesson for him, Dylan would be more vigi
By the morning, Ashley was woken up by the blasting of her phone. Still groggy, she answered the call with her eyes half-closed.“What?”“Wake up! Wake up! I take it back! You don’t have a vacation even if you won! Get your ass up!”“What’s the fuss all about?” Ashley was seventy percent awake right now. She slowly sat and combed her hair with her fingers.Listening to Dylan’s rumbling from the other side of the call, she got the zest of the situation. It turned out that she bagged a big domestic brand because her winning and her soaring popularity.“Fine. Wait for me at their headquarters, I will just go there myself.” Remembering her escort team, she could only sigh. “They work fast, huh. Send me the copy of the contract.”After the end of the call, Ashley immediately prepared her
At this very moment, many people—young and old—knew of one thing:Ashley won the Best Supporting Actress Award in the prestigious Silver Globes Award for her roles as Cecilia in Unmasked.The moment she went outside the hall, countless screens and digital billboards across the country lit up with this information plastered grandly and proudly. With her picture on it when she wore her beautiful gown for this event.Those who did not know Ashley had known about her. Those who hated Ashley since before her rise to fame were all itching from anger. And the small growing number of fans that belonged to Ashley alone was very excited and crying with joy—only they knew how hard it was to recruit fans for their idol after many black materials!It was not surprising that this phenomenon went viral across various only platforms! While Ashley was still dumbfounded, she did not know how her name was being discussed hotly in the internet!With the number one trending list as #Silver Globes Award 20
Holding the silver trophy in her hand, she stood before many people from the TV & Film Industry. It was time to deliver the speech, something she did not dare to think tonight. After all, there would be other people better than her. Plus, the character of Cecilia was not that versatile to begin with compared to the others. But she still managed to take the glory home this time.Something in her heart was boiling—it was the long-lost passion of being an actress. If before she was doing all of these to gain influence in the public as a part of her grand scheme to take her son away from the Elijah mansion, now, after holding the semi-heavy award, the little girl in her who once dreamed to be a star was finally found again.“Wow…I never really created a speech. I mean, how can I, right? When everyone is so talented and I feel very humbled. But here I am… delivering my first ever speech to you all.” Ashley smiled. Though she could not see clearly since the lighting was focused on her, she
There were three big movies betted by the people to win the Silver Globes Award.The first one was the big production named Reinventing Natalie which was starred by a first class crew under a first class director. The leading role was also played by an A-list actress named Kathryn Bernardo. She was nominated as a Best Actress and if she won, this would be her second win in this award in her acting career which was huge! The movie ‘Reinventing Natalie’ was also nominated in other categories such as Best Director Award, Best Pictures Award, and Best Film Award. This was certainly a movie with the most potential. In fact, according to the online survey, the people in the country believed that Reinventing Natalie would be the biggest winner of this awarding ceremony.The second one, which was ‘Lt. Mckenna” was not as big in terms of production compared to Reinventing Natalia but the theme of the story was historical with a heavy emphasis on the love story, patriotism during the war times,
“Wow! You are really glowing!” Dylan exclaimed in exaggeration as soon as Ashley entered the nanny van. He only noticed it clearly when she was near him, maybe because Ashley was leaning to a clean and minimalist yet elegant look for tonight.The driver was a veteran found by Jaxon and there was another veteran seated on the shotgun seat. Apart from Momo, Dylan, and Ashley, there was no one at the backseat—it was to the minimal. But looking outside the bullet-proofed nanny van especially configured by Jaxon for this night, there were two cars before the van while there were another two tailing behind them. And those people inside those black tinted cars were all sporting the latest technology of armaments and heavy firepower weapons under the sponsorship of the Elijah Family to the military department’s research and development laboratory.Dylan, whose attention was divided by Ashley—his money making cash cow—and the driver’s arms under those fitted suits, finally noticed something.“
The medium-sized bag fully packed with clothes was smacked right onto Jaxon’s face. He did not flinch as he kept staring on her.“You can divorce me. After this, you can divorce me. I will sign the divorce agreement and convince my grandfather that you will have full custody to our son, just please, please…I am begging you, Ashley. Let me protect you and our son.”Ashley’s anger was palpable in her eyes. closing her eyes tightly, she turned around and wiped the tears on her face. She pointed the door and said: “Leave…” Sighing, she continued: “Let me think things through.”A staggering breath of relief escaped from Jaxon’s lips. He closed his eyes for a moment, hiding the turbulent emotions in them as he whispered: “Alright.”As Jaxon left, he entered his study once more.The silence of the study room did not give him comfort. He held the armrests of his wheelchair and stood up with much difficulty. He had to hold the wall and rely on the strength of his feet to support his legs and u
“I want to go back!” Talia did not know how many times she said this statement. She was stupid in love but she was not foolish not to notice how they kept driving in circles in the capital city. By the fourth time, she finally snapped at Izana.“Where to?” Izana drove slowly as if he was just driving in a countryside. His left hand on the stirring wheel while his other hand held Talia’s hand. Coupled with his gentle voice, the indifference in his words was directly muted.But Talia was not buying it anymore.“Back to my villa, where else?!” Talia was almost shrieking right now. “Are you hiding something from me?! You are so sketchy!”Izana merely smiled at her. One mere glance from him and the words that were about to come out from Talia’s lips were swallowed back on instinct. She buried herself on her seat and backed herself away against the car door. She somehow felt that something dangerous was about to happen.Izana nodded in satisfaction after seeing this. His good mood did not l
Jaxon watched the mother and son entered the room in silence.When Scottie looked back, he said in his milky voice: “Good night, Daddy.”Jaxon’s indifferent aura vanished in an instant, replaced by gentle warmth that could hardly be seen throughout his life.The corners of his lips curled up slightly as he said: “Good night, my son.”Ashley, who was about to close the door, paused for a moment. She looked back and met a pair of intense eyes pinned solely on her. On instinct, she closed the door quickly with a bang.While on the other side Ashley was pushing everything at the back of her mind again, Jaxon’s expression had a bitter smile on his face. He made this coffin himself, now, he had to lay on it.The helplessness in his eyes turned stern the moment the old butler came. He let him push the wheelchair which led them to the study. Locked and secured, Jaxon faced Harold and gave him a curt not.Harold immediately walked to the shelf where there were books of course and some random l
Staggering, Ashley barged into the hospital’s morgue.Not minding the numbing cold, with her bare feet, Ashley raced to the place she loathed the most. Never in her forty years of existence did she expect that she would be coming to this place for her beloved son.Her knees wobbled and her shaky breath stopped when she saw the only body covered in a white blanket. Blood was smeared at the other end of the mantle where a head was being covered.In a blink of an eye, Ashley hovered over the table where the corpse was laid. With trembling hands, Ashley mastered the courage to confirm her doubts.After all, she just called her son a few hours ago. He told her he was fine! Her darling child assured her, even joked at her, as he whined at her to prepare the apple pie he always loved to eat in secret – their little connection in that desolate house of glory and splendor.The moment she lifted the blanket, the disfigured face of her son welcomed Ashley.A cry escaped from her raspy throat as ...
