Adriens mansion Upon entering the house, I saw Adrien was around. I was shocked because Adrien never came back this early.It was already 4 p.m., and the sky was beginning to become red.“Why are you back so early?” I asked, looking at him, who sat on the couch in the living room, as he went through some documents, plus he looked like he was going to a function.“You are late,” he said as he crossed his legs and took a look at his watch."Oh, I went to see a patient,” I explained, and he nodded.“Do you need me for something?” I asked with a raised brow.“Of course, we need to be at Xander’s banquet in an hour; we are already late,” he said, looking down at his watch again.“Xander is holding a banquet, and why am I hearing about this an hour before? I don’t have what to wear,” I said, glaring at him, and he chuckled."Yes, you do; just go upstairs and get ready,” he chuckled, and I looked at him with a confused gaze as I headed upstairs.“What is the reason for this banquet?” I aske
Authors POV Just as Adrien was about to talk, they heard a commotion; they all looked to see that it was the top actress, the movie queen, Ivanka Shanks. She was dressed in a blue bodycon gown that was encrusted with rhinestones; it was the latest piece designed by the top brand victorious-open’s top designer, Marcello Jino. Ignoring everyone who looked happy to see her, she walked straight in their direction. Jenna thought she wanted to talk to Simon, who was her colleague, but she was wrong. “It’s been long, Adrien,” she said with a small smile, not even sparing Jenna or Simon one glance. "Hmmm,” Adrien nodded in response with his famous nonchalant attitude, but Ivanka did not mind; she was already used to Adrien's behavior. Seeing Ivanka and Adrien together piqued everyone's interest; some bold and audacious people found a way to get closer to them to hear their conversation. After all, it was not a secret in the circle that Ivanka was the next Mrs. Lockwood; they were childho
Authors POV She stalled for a while then decided to speak up when she concluded that the time was right. “What do you want, Miss Shanks?” Adrien asked with a very visible frown on his face, then he realized that he had not seen Jenna for a while. “Where is Jenna?” He asked again, not giving Ivanka the chance to answer his first question, but that is what Ivanka wanted; now she could direct Adrien to Jennifer's Scandal without anyone suspecting her hand in it. “I think I saw her leave a while ago with a waiter; I think she poured a glass of wine on her,” she said, trying to sound ignorant. She did not need to worry about Adrien finding where Jenna was; he was Adrien Lockwood; he could even find the president if he wanted to. “Do you think something bad has happened to Miss Lyons?” she asked, but Adrien chose to ignore the way she addressed Jenna; he was more concerned about what happened to her; she was also pregnant, so he could not help but be concerned. He sent Mr. Smi
Authors POV “Next time you want to pull a stunt like this, just let me know; I will have one of my men carry out the plan for you; it is not good to get your hands,” he said as he took hold of her hands and led her back to the banquet hall, shocking Jenna. Adrien held her hands so naturally, plus he spoke more words than he normally did; maybe he was a little bit drunk, she thought. “You do not blame me for the ruckus I caused?” she asked, and he shook his head. “I know you; she must have provoked you first; you were probably using her scheme against her, right?” he asked, and Jenna nodded excitedly. "She was very stupid; she offered me an orange juice mixed with aphrodisiac, not knowing I am a pro in medicine. I decided to play along with her, then I made her fall into her trap later.” Jenna laughed with a triumphant look plastered on her face. They eventually got to the banquet hall and saw that the banquet had already come to an end, and the only people that were there
Author’s PoV The next day the news of Adrien's marriage had already spread around the upper class; even the regular citizens knew about it, but they did not know to whom, like the people of the upper class who were invited to Xander's banquet, so the regular citizens assumed Ivanka was the new Mrs. Lockwood. Once the news broke, Ivanka kept on receiving nonstop congratulatory messages from her fans and other actors and actresses who thought she married Adrien. Seeing those messages was just like a smack in the face for Ivanka, knowing that Jenna was Adrien's real wife, but she did not step up to clarify; it would be embarrassing for her, a whole movie queen. After a while, an anonymous entertainment influencer dropped the bombshell that it was not Ivanka who was married to Adrien but another woman. Adrien decided to validate the post by using his company's official page to like the post, he even reposted it, causing a stir around the world and bitterness in the hearts of Iva
Authors POV The movie set was not too far from Lockwood enterprises, so Jenna was not too late when she finally arrived, but she still received Ramona’s reproachful gaze. “I think I would have to pick you up from your house; maybe you would be early for once,” Ramona said, and Jenna laughed. “I am not joking.” Ramona crossed her arms. “I know,” Jenna laughed harder. She smiled at her assistant, X Bodyguard, who also made it to the set before she did; it turns out everyone arrived before her. She walked into the building together with Lucy and Ramona, and the first person to run her mouth when Jenna walked in was Dinah. "Jenna, do you know how rude you are being? You have no respect for anybody in the industry; you do things at your own pace, and we all have to cater for you!” Dinah shouted angrily. “I am just ten minutes late; I am not the one that asks you to come earlier than the aforesaid time, so keep your grumpiness to yourself, okay,” Jenna said as she walked p
“1, 2, 3, action,” Jessie started, and Simon and Jenna immediately got into character, running as the men in suits pursued them. As they ran, Jenna’ would stop for a second and throw darts at her pursuers before running again, but more of the men in suits appeared and began shooting at them.Just when they were about to exit the building, Simon was shot, and Jenna’ shouted in distress.Jenna, Simon, and Lanagay finished this scene in just one take, making Jessie beyond happy.“If you guys can keep this energy throughout the movie, we might finish filming before the predicted time,” Jessie Rose laughed happily.Just to be safe, Jessie had them act that scene out one more time before he moved on to the next, and Jenna also had to be in that scene.She went back into her room for a costume change and came back out wearing flared jeans, a white tank top, and a patterned t-shirt over it.She was going to act this scene out with Dinah, and Dinah's role character was 'Mikah', who was Nyx's f
Authors POV The next day Jenna woke up earlier than usual just to make it to set on time; this time the set was not indoors. It was in an abandoned warehouse that was rented. With Lucy by her side, she made her way to her car. She had become accustomed to the fact that no matter how early she woke up, Adrien would always wake up earlier than her. Lucy offered to drive because Jenna was not fully awake. The set was quite far from Adrien's mansion, so it took more than an hour to get there, but Jenna was still kind of early. Jessie was already there directing how the props should be placed while Ramona sat in one corner waiting for her arrival; almost all the cast members who were having their scenes shot were also present. After nodding to Jessie, she approached Ramona, who looked pleasantly surprised. “You are early today." Ramona smiled for the first time, and Jenna chuckled. “Don't get used to it,” Jenna mumbled. “What did you say?” Ramona ask
“Oh that, yes, I change my mind; you should definitely let your old life affect your present,” he said, making Jenna believe that the man was just as clueless as he looked and he was just messing with her, so she took a step back intending to leave.“Wait!” the old man called out, causing her to pause in her tracks.“What do you want?” she asked.“Your enemy, the one you want to run away from, is back,” the old man said, suddenly shedding his earlier playful demeanor; he now had a powerful aura.Jenna, who seemed to know what he was talking about, ran away like someone was pursuing her; she did not stop until she entered her car, and then she started hyperventilating.Did that mean Rio was alive; he never died? But she was sure she saw the news about both their deaths on the news. But then it suddenly hit her: he must have reincarnated just like her. She had to find him before he found her; she could not let him become so powerful again. If he found her again, she knew she would never esca
“Why could you let this happen? What about Ivanka? How will we explain this to her?” “ Adrien brought her hopes up just to disappoint her like that,” she complained, and the loving, gentle look on her mother's face instantly became stern while Grandma just sat in the corner, looking like the drama had nothing to do with her. "Brooke, we owe Ivanka nothing; she was the one who chose to build up this entire fantasy about her and Adrien in her head. Adrien never told her he was going to marry her, nor did I or anybody else in this family, but I can't say the same about you. And why do you feel like you have the right to dictate who gets to come in and out of your brother's house?” Adrien's mother reprimanded, and the waterworks instantly started flowing. With tears in her eyes, she ran to Grandma's side and held her hands. "Grandma, please tell Mom that she is in the wrong,” she said with tears pouring down her face. “I can't, plus I like Jenna,” Grandma said, turni
But luckily, food was already prepared, so Jenna whiled away time by munching on food and scrolling through the internet. And of course, Dina’s live stream went viral. Passersby’s criticized her for her lack of professionalism when acting and also wondered who was livestreaming as it was an anonymous account. “Jenna dear, you are back early,” Adrien's grandma said excitedly as she slowly walked into the dining room. “Oh grandma I thought you were asleep,” Jenna said as she stood up and helped Adrien's grandmother sit down. “Oh yes, I just woke up,” the old woman said. “I have been meaning to speak to you and Adrien about something, but you guys are always busy,” Grandma said, and Jenna nodded, prompting her to go ahead. “I want to go back to the Lockwood family home,” the old woman smiled. “But who will take care of you?” Jenna asked with a worried look on her face; she did not know how attached she had become to Adrien's grandmother during her stay
“I pierced you? Be for real, Dinah and stop trying to make up excuses for your incompetent acting.”Jenna said and after a brief pause she continued M“I wonder how you made it this far in the industry,” Jenna mocked. "Dinah, go take a break; in an hour we will try this scene again,” Jessie said angrily, then walked back to his seat and sat down. “Simon and Lanagay, you are up!” He shouted, still angry at Dinah for ruining his scene. Dinah, who had gone to cry in her dressing room, did not know the trouble that was brewing online because of the livestream. The makeup artist, seeing what had gone down, went to Dinah’s dressing room to comfort her. “You!” She shouted when she saw the makeup artist causing the woman to cower in fear. “did you not say you applied the poisonous foundation on Jenna’s face ?” she requested, angrily scaring the lady. “Of course I did; I don't know why she did not react.” The makeup artist defended. "Dinah, do you want to kno
