“At least you are better than someone whom I truly wished to have died years ago ” Candy mumbled silently, adjusted herself, and drifted off to sleep alongside Calvin.

      Calvin twisted his lips to one side and glanced at Candy who slept peacefully wrapped around the blanket. He sighed and arched his brows confused of the statement she mumbled last before drifting off to slumber.

“What does she mean by that?” He got himself trapped in a series of questions while gazing upon the dark spacious star. 

        The day as expected went so fast with both daughter and father for the first time in history sharing a bed. The next day came with a series of shocks especially for the sleeping young miss.

      The warm bright sunlight reflecting through the huge window on the left side of the room fell upon Paige's skin as she tumbled around the bed attempting to forge her face from the sun.

    Only now did she find out that she was clothed in a different wear from last night. Did that mean they both.........? Paige held herself weakly before collapsing to the ground. Her eyes were bitter and teary and her throat was unable to make a sound. She glared at this man with absolute hatred and hissed.“Stop your useless thoughts. I slept in the study room!” Calven annoyingly groaned and pointed at the huge king-sized bed to the inner right side of the room. Last night, he could not sleep when Candy was around, so he had to order a bed late at night and have it placed in the study room. However, His insomnia still did not let him be. Early this morning, he woke up to meet his eyes with dark circles.“Oh! I knew that just wanted to be extra dramatic ” Paige bursted into laughter while shooting her index finger right at his furious expression

    Sitting down there was the woman who she despised to the core, Carina. Truth be told, she hated her father's crooked family which not only caused her trouble but added to hers too. Paige crossed her eyes across the room, scrutinizing every single surrounding until she was sure it was safe. For now, they couldn't be trusted! On looking, her eyes met with the envious mother seated like a loving daughter in law next to Carina. Paige scoffed skeptically holding herself from injuring that woman. In the midst of all those petty smiles Belinda gave now and then, she held absolutely nothing in her heart. Who wouldn't? She mumbled and sighed.‘So this is how life is going to be? Another new evil villain?’ She forced herself to cheer up thinking that everything would still be alright knowing that she had an upper hand in this situation.“Come sit with gran

    Paige's words did not surprise him at all. His face was still as stoic as ever before. Paige blinked and sighed.“I know.......... and, you want to rub your victory in my face? Yes, you've won! You have won even before the battle had started. Paige, I did not think you'd be this selfish to corner my dad to get your revenge!” Dylan spat out exhaustedly. His eyes were filled with so many emotions and more so, anger. He looked away from her sparkling eyes and laughed.“Congratulations Paige! Victory is yours right now! My father is about to be beheaded tonight and them.....they've forgotten about me!” He gnawed his teeth recalling how those wicked people abandoned him at the very moment he needed them. Dylan chuckled silently and shook his head with disbelief. So this was how he was going to end? In shame?! His head was in great regret glancing at Paige. Never did he notice tha

    Dylan bawled his fist into two while wondering how much this lady must have known about their forever schemes.“Whoa! ” He clapped slowly and then continued loudly. Dylan's state was more of being in shock than regret. For him, he felt stupid and useless in front of Paige. “You had us wrapped under your fake act for the past three years? No wonder you refused my proposal!” Dylan ridiculed himself and them too. Here they were thinking she was an empty and noisy battle, unknown to them, she was already at the finish line just patiently waiting for them to fumble and crawl back to her.“Perhaps you did not notice. Time is running out and I have said too much! Let this out of your mouth and you will know who truly I am and the forces I have underneath my feet. I can't guarantee success that your father won't be harmed if you decide to spill any of these things I said ”

    Bryan smiled as he walked out of the room. Across the enormous busy and noisy hallway, he found a quiet spot along the elevator and stood there. His mind still pondering why Eddey would suddenly call his number. They hadn't been on good terms since the beginning of this new month nor did they see eye to eye, so her calling was more suspicious than ever before. He skimmed through his contact list and found so many missed calls from her.“Seriously?” Bryan closed his eyes for a moment and then, opened them up when he found his phone ringing again. He picked it up, swiped across the screen, and answered the call. “Hey, I thought you agreed that nothing was going on between us, why are you now..........?”“Calvin did something stupid!” Eddey said while impatiently waiting for his reaction or at least his words. The other side of the phone call was as silent as a gra

    He murmured not wanting to stress this conversation further. Calven had enough of this terrible bad day he went through and this just added more fuel to his already burning fire. Seeing his mother's mouth kept shut, he decided to take his leave.“Tomorrow is the wedding. Paige and I are getting the dress ready and Candy, well she is fine with it ” Ethlyn insinuated. She knew he was going to come up with an excuse as always to avoid the wedding.“I am busy, Change it to another day” Calven retorted cutting Ethlyn short from finishing her statement. Now was not the best time to hear any shit about their wedding. As far as he was concerned, Paige did agree not to make the marriage public and so did he, so why then the need for a marriage? As long as they kept to the rules of the contract, they each get played fairly.“It has been scheduled, you just have to find a

    “This one that the master Carl is happy about, hope something good crossed by you ” Alexander chortled pouring sparkling water into a brown mug. He watched as he sipped on it and then swallowed the water whole into his body. With the cold winter breeze blowing on him, Alexander shuddered through the darkness as he lit up a candle.“Of course! There is good news!” Carl's hand reached for his mask and pulled it off all at once. He adjusted his neck and looked into the blazing fire. “Our phase three is almost finished and we did not need to do anything, Alexander!” Carl chuckled but this around was more evident than before. He stood up from his throne like the king he was and proceeded to walk across the room. In the middle of the room, he halted in his steps and smiled.“Look damn what we've got here, Calven is slowly getting back to who originally is, the fu

    George implied having some hidden meanings attached to it. If he was going to believe her fairytale rebirth story then he might as well caution her not to easily save her enemies. She wanted his help and she got it always, why then was she forcing herself to be nice? George shushed his inner desire to strangle the entire Adams for the death they put Paige through, therefore, he took another alternative. Another alternative that would prove worthy of executing than Paige's weak own which was to get rid of Merle.‘What more of a delight!’ George praised himself for the amazing scheme he came up with. Having Paige do all the work for him is much better than him doing it himself. “You sound like Jennie and then, Eddey. I don't get you all. I want to avenge my deceased past but that doesn't mean I need to hurt innocent people to accomplish it. I wa

    “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.

    “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.

    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
