“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
“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
Jenna’s POV I have been trapped in this building for exactly five years now, he locked me up on my twenty-fifth birthday, and on my thirtieth birthday was the day I would escape, or so I thought. *** I lay on the queen-sized bed with nothing but different thoughts running through my head, how did I fall so low, how would I escape, would I spend the rest of my life here? I was once the proud and unreachable princess of the Hidden Valley. My brother who was twenty at that time went to the orphanage, took a liking to my intelligence, and adopted me when I was just nine years old. He was the leader of the Hidden Valley which everyone across the world feared. The hidden valley was like a mafia but my brother begged to defer, he always argued that the hidden valley was a more legal version of a mafia, but we all knew… By the age of 19, I was already a professional in medicine and anything computer related, I was so good to the extent that I was given the name ‘miracle doctor’ a
Chapter 2Jenna’s POVGroggily, I opened my eyes.Wait, I opened my eyes? I looked up at the white ceiling.Am I in heaven, or am I in the waiting room to hell? Hearing the continuous beeping sound, I looked around.I was in the freaking hospital; a drip was attached to my arm, and it was the heart monitor that was making noise. ‘I am alive’ I thought with excitement, That means someone must have rescued me. Is Rio dead? Am I free?But I became more confused when a woman who looked to be in her late fifties entered my room.“You finally tired of pretending, Jennifer, you freaking whore, just because you have not seen your husband for two years, you pretended to commit suicide. What? did you think that would make him pay attention to you again? Can you please just leave my son once and for all? Our Stirling family cannot support you any longer." She shouted in a shrewd manner, and I could only look at her in confusion. I was married, and I had a wicked mother-in-law. I clutched my he
Chapter 3In thirty minutes, I arrived at a bar, wearing a gown that accentuated my features.The bar was attached to a five-star hotel, and the customers of this bar were mainly people from the upper class.I got in easily with my charm and ordered the most drinks I could. And in no time, I gubbled them down. In my previous life, I could drink as much alcohol as I wanted without getting drunk, but this body. I did not even drink up to my usual amount, and I was already flat out drunk.I stood up from my chair in a bid to go home, but I was approached by one of the staff for payment. I brought out my card and swiped it. And the worst thing happened. The card was declined. That idiot should have sent my hundred million by now.“Swipe it again,” I drunkenly said, but it still brought out the same result.“That bastard,” I slurred.“I will pay for her.” A nice-looking gentleman said as he made a move to pay, and I just let him. Although he was handsome, I had no interest in him, Rio and
In no time I took my bath and dressed up, I needed to change my wardrobe. The original owner of my body had been deceived by Alex, her sister to be putting on shabby outfits, from my memory, she indeed did not look like the mrs of a rich family, luckily I was in control now, nobody could deceive me. I put on the best outfit I could find and decided to go shopping for some more later.I got into my car and zoomed off, in thirty minutes I arrived at my ‘father’ house.It was a villa in which they took pride in. My new family were never rich people, they had always been middle class until Adler’s grandfather took a liking to the original Jennifer and forced Adler to marry her, while stupid Jennifer married him for love. Ever since their marriage the Stirling family had always been helping Jennifers, they got them a new house, and a new business and as a result of this, Jennifers family’s ego went skyrocketed through the roof. For some reason they never liked Jennifer and always preferre
I arrived at Livvy’s Cafe. It was a warm, softly lit cafe filled with the aroma of freshly baked pastries and coffee. I closed my eyes and sighed in relief. This was the first time I was able to come to such an environment comfortably. My rebirth is certainly a blessing.I looked up when I heard a bubbly voice shouting my name.“Jenna, Jenna,” the voice called, and I looked up to see her dazzling red-headed lady; she was like a physical ray of joy.I waved back at her awkwardly before walking towards her, because in a way, I was meeting her for the first time, and at the same time I knew her.“Oh my gosh, Jenna, divorce looks so good on you” Amelia squealed, and I smirked.“Like I am so happy for you Jenna, you finally realized how right I was about Adler,” she sighed, toning down the excitement.“Waiter, you can bring the coffee now!” She shouted happily towards the waiter, who was attending to another table, and the waiter nodded with a smile. The coffee arrived in five minutes.“Yo
“I thought you said you are getting married to a multi-millionaire and will not act again?” she asked very happy about my downfall, and yes I remembered her. When the original Jennifer was still an actress she used to be the receptionist around here. “Awn honey you are still a receptionist, I thought you would have become a huge movie star by now,” I said with a sad tone but it did not match the smug look on my face. “Who are you here to see?” she asked, her smug smile morphing into a frown. “I am here to see Ramona” I replied. “Hmm your old manager?” she laughed out loud. “Don't tell me you want to become an actress again?” she asked as she laughed mockingly. “I am here to see Ramona” I repeated again with a do not mess with me look on my face and she calmed down. “Do you have an appointment?” she asked and Amelia who stood beside me immediately looked nervous, because we forgot to make an appointment. But that was not a problem for me with my hacking skills. “Of course,” I

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
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
“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 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
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 “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
