Ashley accepted the packed lunch distributed by the crew. After three weeks in the set, she and Dylan were already used to eat the packed lunches.

Some days, the packed lunch would contain meat and carbohydrates. These were the times when Director Sloan was satisfied with the progress of the morning shooting. But when he was not, the packed lunch would only have some vegan dishes and carbohydrates…nothing more.

This strategy of the director was indeed effective. Even Atasha dared not to be a demon, hence, the progress of the filming was astounding. If they would keep up in this pace, the shooting of the moving would end before two months.

Maybe, they could review and edit the film before the Nobel Awards this December and the movie Unmasked could participate in it. Ashley also felt that Director Sloan was after the Nobel Awards. After all, this award ceremony was a good exposure for the film.

“What will it be this time?” asked Dylan. There was fear and anticipation intertwined in his

    The process of taking Scottie went smoothly than she expected. For one moment, she was already gearing up to a showdown against her nominal husband, but it did not happen.Nanny Doris merely gave Scottie and Ashley a box, saying it was for them to eat. When they were waiting for their flight in the airport lounge, Ashley curiously opened it.The box contained burrito and sandwich—enough for the two of them. Ashley smiled yet the smile did not reflect in her eyes.Thinking about the people of the mansion, sometimes, Ashley could not help but ponder about the complexity of human nature. She had lived to the point wherein she did not believe in romantic feelings anymore.Now, Ashley knew that only when she became powerful would she have the right to speak and to fight for her rights. The world was unfair. Although laws kept the social norm, the fact about the strong trampled the weak was true.In front of the behemoth like the Elijah Consortium, she was like an ant right now.

    The entire morning proceeded like nothing happened. Ashley still filmed smoothly without retake. If there were changes in it, it would be the additional presence of a small dumpling shuttling across the set like a fish in the sea.Right after the lunch, Ashley took one last scene before she accompanied Scottie to take a nap. She did not forget to set her alarm to 2:25 PM.The sound of the alarm woke up Ashley’s light sleep. Looking back at her son, seeing him sleep soundly, she let her wavy hair slid behind her back—messy and sexy. Before she went out, she made sure to use her just bought hot red lipstick.Instead of coffee, Ashley opened the specially prepared Laffite 1980 which she took secretly from Jaxon’s wine cellar before. Never thought that she would use this today to celebrate something evil.As someone who had walked straight out of hell, Ashley was no saint. Instead, she was no hypocrite. And she would do anything to pave a way for her son.And today, she would witness such

    “We’ve been filming for two months. Thanked goodness ‘Youth 1990’ pushed forward the taping schedule or else, we’re done.” Dylan used his usual exaggerated tone as he slumped next to Ashley who was busy packing her things.“You better wash up. You stink.” Ashley was the first one to excuse herself in the film’s celebration party. As someone who had seen too many dark shits in the industry, drinking was a ticket to tabloids.With this in mind, Ashley decided to symbolically toast with the crew, ate her dinner, and faked an illness which worked perfectly fine. This time, she was in a hurry to pack her things because tomorrow was the day that she would start the first step of the many ones in building an empire of her own—Rosemary Jewelry Store’s grand opening.The trademark of the brand was finally registered along with the corporation name which was still Rosemary. Rosemary Jewelry Store was the first company of the many she was planning to establish. Ashley knew what industries would

    After many years of being the CEO of Elijah Consortium, even when the time when he first became one and many questioned him, this was the first time that Jaxon Elijah was stumped by a question. And the person who left him speechless was his son who could barely reach his waist.“Who told you that?” Jaxon immediately thought of the child’s mother. “Did your mother talk nonsense again?”Scottie’s innocent eyes blinked and still stared straight at Jaxon’s eyes. “I called Mom because…because…I’m sad. Daddy leaves Scottie alone again. I called Mom. Scottie always saw that sick auntie with Daddy…always with Daddy.” He paused as if he hesitated for a moment before he continued. This time, Scottie’s eyes were slightly red. “Daddy, my friend said that his Daddy and Mommy are filing for divorce because of another auntie. Am I…am I going to be like my friend?”Jaxon finally stood up. He closed the meager amount of distance between him and his son. It only took him three steps, but at this moment

    Losing control was the worst outcome for someone who held control as the Holy Grail.Growing up, Jaxon was groomed to be the heir of the giant enterprise called Elijah Consortium. He was taught that there was no room for any mistakes or it would make the huge business empire to crumble—a great sin for the ancestors of his family.To do that, control was the key to eliminate any mistakes. If he eliminated variables, focused on taking ten steps more advance than the others, he needed to control everything around him.His friends were all on the basis of interests. His business acumen revolved around iron-clad means. Even the emotions shown for his family members were precise. It was as if he regarded himself a machine without any weakness.The first out of control variable in his life was his drunken mistake with Ashley. Marrying her was never part of his plan. He had already a candidate for his wife—Talia.Talia was the daughter of his father’s subordinate who sacrificed himself to sav

    The stone cutter master picked up the wool that Ashley pushed. This was the apple-sized wool that Ashley first discovered which was surrounded by thick white smoke to the point that it was barely visible for him when using the Jade Eyes.“How to cut it?” asked the stone cutter master. With the way he moved, it was shown that he was an expert in this field.Seeing that there were at most ten wools in her cart, the people who were still leisurely choosing and observing the wools had become interested and crowded the stone cutting area. This place was located at the innermost part of the store but it was only a few steps away from the display area of the wools.Ashley did not mind the crowd. In her eyes, they were all his money bags. Instead, she focused on the apple-sized wool. With the use of her lucky physique, she was able to determine how to solve the wool without damaging the jadeite inside it.“Grind it.”The sound of the tool used for grinding wools resounded.

    Ashley sighed after the call ended but the smile on her lips was there. When she turned around, the smile on her lips froze.“What?” Ashley did not like how she sounded guilty. She looked at him with defiance and asked in a different tone this time: “What?”Jaxon merely smiled gently, making Ashley shiver on instinct. Somehow, he looked more dangerous like this—so weird, so unfamiliar. “Are you going out?”Hearing his question, Ashley assumed that he did not hear anything. She remembered her itinerary and quickly knew that she would not go out today. She wanted to keep a low profile while the internet was still in turmoil.“No. I’m not. Don’t worry. I know that the danger is still out there. We’re out in the open and they’re lurking deeply in the shadow, watching us. I know this.”She walked past him, l

    “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.

    “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.“
