"Mr. Gray, nice meeting you here." "It is such a coincidence to see you here, and before you say anything, I wasn't declining your calls, I swear!" She muttered those words out of her mouth while holding her hands up in the air.
The man being so tall made her neck ache. His height and hers weren't compatible, resulting in her raising her neck to meet his face.
"Are you sure about that?" Anytime I call, it is always declined. "What about your phone?"
"It got stolen, and so did my SIM." I have been meaning to tell you that. She lied

He focused his gaze on this man, watching him shiver in the cold atmosphere. George could see his awkward face as Dylan used his fingers to count the very enormous number."You sure about that, Mr. Allen? She does have a bad name in the acting industry. Dylan continued to soil her name to the core. He could not understand why this man would want such garbage compared to the beautiful and talented actresses he had named.Dana was great as a second female lead, while Alyssa could transform into any role given to her, so why choose a nobody in the entertainment industry for a big amount of money like that?

"On the condition that..." Ivan paused, scratched his chin, and smirked. “You can be my wife, but this news must not leave the doorsteps of this mansion." I will marry you and acknowledge this child, but your identity won't be public, meaning you are not going to be referred to as "the Madam of the Adams.” He listed his ridiculous offers to her while stroking her hair passionately.Alice froze at a spot, freed herself from his grip, and frowned. What kind of offer was she given? one that did not benefit her in any manner. She shimmered and rolled her eyes.“Ivan, I can't believe that you are this wicked. I only wanted this child to have a father while growing up, not to be Adams' secret mistress! "I need a better offer.”&ldq
a mother who goes about deceiving her child about strangers being evil. Although she did agree that this bar was dangerous for a girl her age, tagging every stranger as evil isn't that good. Paige became angry and tapped the woman."And what is it, Miss?" Her arrogant attitude blew off the cover as the woman named Emily shifted her gaze towards her."I am Paige, by the way.""Miss Paige, how may I help you?" Aren't you shameless that you stole a child, and now you're acting as if you're the good guy? As I always say, "Strangers are evil!" Emily pointed fingers at Paige and roared at her.&n
Seeing that he caught them sneaking in, Amy and Emily fell to the ground and begged for mercy. That was how it was in the famous movie director's home: chaos and misery. He eyed them with nothing but disgust from their head to their toe, stood up, and grabbed Emily's neck. James squeezed it tightly and did not let go of her neck until she gasped for air. An action she dared not do even when she was about to die. “Father, it is not your mother's fault," I beg of you to let her go. I am the reason we came home late today. Punish me instead.” Amy lay down on the ground, protecting her body. Emily's face was red as she gasped for air when he let go of her neck. She coughed slightly, breathing in and out again. “You fucking bitch do know how to cover up for your mother; I will show you what I made today! "On your knees, right now!” James commanded as Amy came down on her knees and bowed her head in front of him. He lashed out with cane strokes on her back, whipping her with it and not
“That is more of the reason why I am going to reject you, Miss Belinda!” Alice groaned and slapped the brown envelope off her hands, turned around, and faced the door. That door she walked into yesterday would never be the one she would walk out of the house with. This time around was fire for fire and Alice wasn't going to let anyone trample over her. “You are making a big mistake that you'll regret later, Miss Alice. Now that I am very kind to strangers, I suggest you take this offer and, most of all, leave my house!” Belinda negotiated but this time with a sly grin plastered on her face. Forget that offer. "This child in my womb is capable of throwing you out of this house, so mind how you talk to me!” “Oh? Really? Give a week or two, and that baby would turn into blood. Alice, you are quite stupid for a girl your age.” “Same as you too." You never cease to amaze me either. I remember then, when I was in college, you treated your own daughter, Paige, with so much disgust, why
“I know what you are going to say, and no......I and that man will never get along with each other!” That man?! They all quizzed and exclaimed in their minds. Calven had just addressed his own father as a stranger in the family, beside that, he truly is a stranger to him. During his childhood, Calven Gray had no company of a father rather his mother was the closet to him. He had grown fond of getting lashed out with strokes of the cane which made horrendous scars on his back. When he turned sixteen, Calven disowned his father and from then on, never wanted to see him ever again. They became strangers over night! “Come on, Calven! Must you be this childish. He has apologize a multiple of times that even my fingers can't count. Listen up to me son, would I deceive you?” Ethlyn spoke having her anger suppressed. She was exhausted with trying to clarify the entire happenings that occurred in his childhood. His father years ago had some psychological traumas that affected the way he tr
“Calven, are you seriously thinking of remarrying? And of all people, from the Adams family? ” From her words, it could be seen visibly that Eddey held some unspoken prejudice against them. “I am just saying, they are not to be trusted.” Eddey increased the volume of her voice while holding prejudice against them. Eddey Harris has never been the one to oppose Master Calven's commands, however, the situation changed. He irked his brows in confusion, shook his head, and typed in the password to his private lair. “Do you mind entering the elevator Miss Eddey?” He woke her from her trance and watched her as she entered the elevator. Calven snapped the button to the last floor and leaned on the silver bar fixed on the elevator walls. “How was the mission? Successful or not?” Eddey smacked her head. She had totally n her reason for dropping by his house instead of focusing on what she cake here for, she began to badmouth a girl she never met. Exactly what love could make people do! Edde
“The meeting was cancelled. Your parents fixed a date for you and Master Brian at the house. It would be terrible for you to decline it. He did not seem happy the last time you rejected him,”“.....” ..........In the Main Mansion of the Harris. The car arrived thirty minutes before the gate was closed. Eddey got off the car, glanced at the several cars parked in her father's compound and heaved an annoyed sigh. This man really did not know when to stop courting her. “Miss Harris! Here! come quick!” Brian's mother wrapped her hands lovingly around Eddey's back and gave it a little pat. She took Eddey into the house to find Brian waiting at the door step. Eddey let out a faint smile and shook his hands. “My son has been dreaming about you,” His mother chuckled placing her palms into Brian's own while she left them alone. Eddey sheepishly collected her arms and awkwardly laughed out loud.“You s
Calven rebuked her further charges against him. He closed his eyes and settled for sleep. However, it was harder than it thought. His mind kept recollecting what the old man had said. Some months ago, he met with the old man and explained what he had been feeling since his encounter with Paige. The symbol on her arms and actually what it meant. It wasn't a coincidence that the moon goddess and her shared the same twelve symbols, which gave it only one meaning, she was the moon goddess. If her rebirth story actually coincided with when he had that accident, then it only gave answers to his question. Calven scanned Paige's body as she wrapped herself in towel and removed her cloth. Her body was not snow white like Eddey's own neither was she taller and elegant like her. She was nothing compared to Eddey's beauty and the only main reason men went after her and not Eddey was because of personality issues. Asides that, Eddey was far more better
The tears she let down that day, every suffering Paige was going to make Alyssa to go through it with none left out of it!“Who are you to hold me?” She pushed his arms of her collar and adjusted her clothing. It had sought rumple on it which she dusted off. Her eyes were red, red from remembering how wicked this people were to her. She was wicked? Was she truly the one wicked in his eyes? Had he never seen her as the good one and Alyssa the bad one? Tears rolled from her eyes as her palms raised up and landed him a slap on his face. Pak!The violent loud sound came again. Everyone's attention was drawn to them and none was left out. The entire crew wanted to know what was going on. Everyone ignoring Alyssa's beg. They examined the both of them with Dylan's palms on his red cheeks and Paige tears flowing from her eyes. They both guessed that things were not well among these two, and definitely it wasn't. The media had spe
“But then again, why would I want such a 'non-beneficial' role when I could have been the movie director? Did Alyssa not tell you the news? I am the movie director!”“....” Silence dawned upon Belinda and her heavy breathing was the only sound heard through the speaker. Paige smirked knowing what Belinda was perhaps meant be thinking of and immediately her next reply confirmed it.“You cannot be too ruthless on Alyssa! Remember you used to dote on her before!” A sneering reply came again causing Paige to chuckle softly. Belinda couldn't see the atom of rage and hatred on Paige's face, however the same was not said for Alyssa. The painstaking stare at the vicious woman in front of her made Alyssa shrivel in fear. This was not the Paige she had grown up to know and scheme against. Paige was much more loveable than this current one who gave her discomfort at sight.“Mother, be rest assured, Alyssa is in great care,” Her remark hung up the call an
“I am not in the mood to talk. I have works to do other than managing your marital affairs!” Having said this, George stormed out of the office and did not take time for him to reach to the private parking lot. He bashed open his car, slammed the door and exhaled while fuming. All which was on his mind was Paige! Her beauty – everything about her infuriated him! And now, she was gone.George blankly stared at the glass window, slumped lazily on the car seat and nodded for his assistant to drive off. He was done always been the second male lead in her life! First of all, he had to distinctively plan her breakup with Dylan yet, she ran off all in the name of contract marriage with another man! How annoying could she be? His hands unconsciously clenched to the cigarette packet he had buried in the car's pouch. His brows creasing together tightly. He lit up a cigarette stick and held it in his hands. Breathing in and out the tobacco scent, G
Alyssa's eyes deepened angrily as her fist tightened on the hem of her dress. She bit her lips and raised her hands to land a slap on Paige until a hand grabbed her from behind – A firm, dangerous grip. Her lips dared not to move an inch closer as her face met with the owner of the hand. Alyssa gasped and retrieved her hand instantly. Her face turned paled and she became petrified. A rush of adrenaline kicked Alyssa back and she immediately apologized“ I am sorry...Mr. Gray!”She straightened herself whilst her angry gritting turned into a blooming smile. A smile which was able to devour the hearts of men including Dylan, however, he was lest concerned about her smile – they were all fake and deceiving besides! His eyes glanced towards Paige and he nodded lightly. He let go off Alyssa's hands and straightened his suit up.“I suggest it is best known that having such arrogant attitude won't be appreciable when working with me. Miss Alyssa, how
She said while coming down from the chair, her hands reached to the secret compartment, unlocked it and kept the book. She smiled and walked straight to Paige.“This is not a threat! I am doing this for my father. He has been through a lot without him noticing that he had been tricked .”“I understand, so it is a deal?” Her head lowered down at her phone after its second beep. It was a message from Jennie. She scrolled through the messages that was sent by her.“I won't disturb you any longer. Go settle your own issues!” Candy excused herself from the room. The door clicked shut and Paige slumped onto the chair tiredly. Many events had occurred within the past few minutes that she herself needed some days to process especially that of Candy.“So people are that wicked? ” She sighed and tapped on her caller dialer. It rang for few seconds and Jennie picked up.“Girl! Check Instagram! Your name is trending like crazy and guess what that movie,
Meanwhile, In Adams Mansion. It had been a week since Carina's return to the old mansion and since then, Belinda hadn't had enough rest. She was always careful when it came to Carina's presence and made sure she obeyed respectfully Ivan's wishes. It disgusted her to the core despite that, she cooperated and made sure her plan went smoothly. Silvan had not come to cause any trouble for her plan and Dylan suddenly had been quiet on their plan same goes for Paige. It appeared as if Paige was already gone. Today came and as usual, the house was boring. Alyssa had some unfinished shooting and Ivan was on a business trip leaving only Belinda in the house. She stayed in her room mostly and never came in contact with Carina only if such seeing was necessary.Ring! Ring! Ring! Her phone went on and on as Belinda quickly rushed for it from the bathroom to her room. Her towel wrapped tightly around her waist, she sat on the edge of the
“I see you've fallen in love with it,” Paige tilted her head to the owner of the word and gasped when she found how close he was to her. She could literally feel his breath on her lips and that, she cringed and stepped back fighting to hold off a blush from appearing on her face.“Yeah, it is beautiful, ” Paige admitted as she withdrew from his embrace and stood far away from him. Her hands tucked into her pocket as she frowned at the thought of her heart beat uncontrollably because of their closeness. Her minds were tolling with so much thoughts she hadn't noticed that Calven had grabbed her index finger and slipped the golden ruby ring into her fingers and was examining it.“Fits perfectly. Pack it up for me. Get the matching type, size six or seven,” Calven said mysteriously while the person who was attending to them rushed over with the shopping bag and a black fur case to bag the ring. When he was done, he handed it over to Calven and bowed
