“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 said with a fake smile and she immediately started searching on her system while I started typing away on my phone, just in time for her to press the enter button.

“Oh you have an appointment for 10 am,” she said in a monotone voice and I simply nodded.

“Go ahead, you are quite familiar with this place so there should be no need for my directions”

Using my memory I made my way up to Ramona’s office using the elevator while Amelia waited for me at the reception.

Once I got to her office I went in.

“Who is that can you not knock?” Ramona asked angrily, she was middle-aged with dark brown wrinkles on her forehead. She had been working at times entertainment agency for more than ten years yet she was still in this old cramped office.

“It's me, Jenna,” I said unapologetically as I took my seat, I guess I still had my princess attitude from the Hidden Valley.

“Why the hell did you come back here?” she asked as she typed away on her computer not even paying any attention to me.

“Of course, I want to renew my contract,” I said as I crossed my legs in a carefree manner.

“Jenna you don't just get to walk in and out of this agency like you own the place, okay? You had so much potential back then and what did you do you just left me, at the peak of my career also, and now you think you can just waltz back into my life?” she suddenly stood up, banging her hands on her desk in anger.

I felt bad, for both Romona and myself, sigh, Romona was abandoned by a rising artist, and I entered into the wrongdoer's body and now I have to take all the blame for her.

“I am sorry okay, I have realized my mistake, that is why I want to come back” I replied also standing up, I did not like the feeling of somebody looking down on me.

“Well I am sorry Jennifer, even if I want to accept you back, the company would not even look in your direction, I don't think any company would be willing to sign you” she sighed as she sat back in her seat.

“Why is that?” I asked.

“That's because you have been canceled okay, you have been canceled by the Stirling family, apparently you offended them and now they do not want you to be able to go back to the entertainment industry, I am sorry but there is nothing I can do” she turned her face away.

And I was filled with rage, how dare those people? Who did they think they were to meddle in my life? Before I did not take the whole acting thing seriously, but now I was filled with rage.

“Okay, your conditions in this company do not seem good anyways, why don't you quit and come work for me, I can start my own entertainment agency” Yes I could make one that could rival the stirlings and make them bankrupt.

“It does not work like that Jennifer, first of all, my contract with this company has not expired, and secondly even if you start your own company it would be swallowed up within minutes, you do not have a backer, the world of business is tough, even if you want to act on your own, the Stirlings have blocked all your chances to bag any big role, I suggest you just give up,” she said as she went back to her business.

Without even replying to her I walked her out of her office, I was going to confront those stupid Stirling, who did they think they were, maybe when I give one of them an incurable illness, the rest would learn to fear me.

I had to get my prestige back as the miracle doctor.

As I came down from the elevator I saw Amelia who asked me how it went but I just shook my head and we started to walk out together.

And then I saw him, in a navy blue tuxedo, his dark brown hair gelled perfectly to the side, an air of nonchalance and ruthlessness around him that made me shiver.

Of course I knew him, he was Adrien Lockwood, at just the age of thirty he is the successful CEO of the Lockwood Industry, the top leading industry in the world. His company dabbled in almost every business there is, he had five-star hotels, he manufactures cars, televisions, phones, and other electronic devices, he also has an entertainment agency, that was the best there is, it only signed very talented peopled and top actors and actresses. And a very well-known fact about him, he was very very ruthless.

I knew him from the hidden valley, he visited once with the request for me to treat his chronically ill grandmother for a very large price, of course, I was going to agree, but Rio ruined everything, he came in and rejected Adrien's offer and banning Adrien from the Hidden Valley.

When I asked Rio why he rejected Adrien, his reason was that Adrien looked at me more than once, and he hated it when men looked at me multiple times. I should have realized how crazy Rio was at that time, but I just excused him thinking that he was being overprotective.

I wonder how Adrien's grandmother is doing now.

He seemed to be also coming out of the Times entertainment company, I wondered who he came to see.

After I came to my senses, I quickly dragged Amelia whose legs seemed to be frozen all the way to my car and I drove off.

“Oh my gosh Jenna that was Adrien Lockwood, I mean THE Adrien Lockwood!” she shouted excitedly.

“I saw Amelia, I am not blind,” I said as I continued driving.

“Don't tell me you are not excited even a little bit, I mean it is the Adrien Lockwood”

“Well I am not, now quite before we get into a car accident,” I said.

I looked at the rare view mirror of my car to see his car driving behind me together with his convoy, but I did not think much about it, maybe he was just going the same way as I was.

I sighed in frustration due to the sudden roadblock.

“Oh freak, just a way to make my day better,” I said in frustration.

My attention was quickly drawn elsewhere as I saw people gathered around an elderly-looking person asking for medical assistance.

It was my time to shine and regain my title back, I guess I would start from the roadside.

I turned off my car and ran towards the crowd.

    “We need a doctor, a doctor!” another old man who stood beside the old man who had fainted shouted as I approached them.“I know medicine,” I said in a confident tone.“Jenna, what are you doing? You don't know medicine” Amelia tried whispering but I guess some people.“Young girl this is not a game, this is about somebody's life you can't just do anything that you want,” said a lady who looked like she was the same age as me, she had black hair, reading glasses on, and she was undeniably pretty.“You don't look a day older than me,” I said feeding her the same energy she used to shut me down.“Whatever” She rolled her eyes at me and turned towards the old man who was crying for help.“Don't mind her sir, I am actually a medical doctor, let me check how your boss is doing” she said in a confident tone as she crouched down to reach the unconscious old man’s level.One look at the man and I knew what was wrong with him, the old man had pronounced tremors, and shortness of breath, and he

    “What?” I asked in confusion. “Mr. Lockwood, maybe you meant to say something else, I said, trying my best not to look affected by his aura. “I saw what you did there earlier. With the sick old man,” he started. “What does that have to do with us getting married, Mr. Lockwood?” I asked. “I did my investigations; that old man has Erezobia, but you, who has no record about learning medicine, were able to give him the emergency treatment so easily, something that would require a bunch of experts to do,” he said with his legs crossed, looking all mysterious, and it clicked. No wonder he suddenly gained interest in me; it was because of his grandmother's illness. “My grandmother also has Erezobia,” he said. “Hmm, really ?” I said, trying my best to look surprised, but I guess such simple acting cannot deceive Adrien. “You don't look that surprised, Miss Lyon,” he said with a serious look. “Wait, how do you know my name?” I asked; it had been barely twelve hours, and he alrea

    It was evening, I and was in the car with Adrien, alone.“So what happened to your driver?” I asked as I repeatedly tapped my lap nervously.“I sent him on an errand, why?”“Oh it's nothing, I was just wondering,” I said.Luckily we got home in time, I went to my room and he went to his.“Finally” I muttered to myself, although I had gotten a bit comfortable around Adrien, but he was still Adrien, unlike Rio who would give the feeling of safety before revealing his through colors, Adrien has always been famous for his ruthless ways, although I do not know what he did to give him that reputation, but his aura alone was enough to keep me on my toes when I was alone with him.I took a quick shower and changed into my nightgown, I was about to sleep when someone knocked on my door.“Who is it?” I asked as I covered myself with the duvet.“It is me, “ he said and I immediately sprung up from my bed.“What do you want?” I asked him when I opened the door.“Here,” he said as he handed over a

    In no time, a month had gone by, and I was preparing for my audition and to visit Adrien's family. Amelia was more than excited to help me shop for Adrien’s mother and grandmother, so we agreed to go to City Mall together.“Jenna!” Amelia called out as she pulled me into a tight hug upon entering Adrien's home.“You are so clingy,” I said with a scrunched nose as I gently pushed her away, trying my best to hide the little smile.“Are you ready to go? Gosh, I am so excited; it has been a long we have gone shopping together." She squealed, but I noticed something weird about her aura; she did not look all as excited as she claimed she was.“Once we find something for Adrien's mom and grandma, we are out of there,” I warned, and she chuckled in response.“We will see about that,” she said with a smug look.After notifying the housekeeper that we were leaving, Amelia and I left.We entered my car, and she kept her phone on the usual spot whenever she wanted to do her daily vlogging, whi

    “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?

    “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

    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

    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 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
