Jenna’s POVIn other not to draw too much attention to ourselves, Adrien led me towards the back entrance where the CEO of Denver's Entertainment used to enter the building when he did not want too much attention on himself.“So this CEO, is he your friend?” I asked as we passed by a group of guards who let us in at the sight of Adrien.“Kind of,” he said as walked faster and I had no choice but to speedwalk to match his pace.“Slow down okay” I whined, and then we entered the elevator leading to the CEO's office.It opened and I stepped out after Adrien and we stood in the office of the Denver Entertainment Agency CEO.And there he sat, looking all mysterious, but his face literally lightened at the sight of Adrien.“Adrien, you are finally here, what took you so long” he said excitedly as he stood up and walked towards us.“Stuff” Adrien replied as he passed the ceo side and took his seat.By“You must be my sister-in-law, I can see why Adrien could not wait to marry you, welcome to
After getting Xander's permission I went outside on my way to times entertainment. I had to book an Uber because it was Adrien who dropped me off in the morning hence no car.“To Times Entertainment Agency please,” I said to the Uber driver as I got in the car.Times Entertainment was not far away from Denver’s Entertainment because they were both located in the business district.Remembering that the annoying receptionist at times would ask if I had an appointment, I began to type in some codes on my phone, and boom I was able to hack my way into their system and secure myself a reservation.“We are here,” the Uber driver said when we arrived and I paid him.“Jennifer?” she called out looking visibly annoyed by my presence.“Hmm” I gave her a sarcastic smile“What are you doing here, I thought you got rejected?” she asked.“Oh I am sorry, I did not realize that the job of the receptionist is to ask about other people's business” I retorted.“I want to see Ramona, you can check in you
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
Choosing to ignore Linda and Liana, Ramona and I went to her new office, and I realized that it was right beside Liana’s office; it would be rare to have a peaceful day with how close they were.Ramona’s office was the same size as Liana’s office, but it was bigger than the cramped-up space they gave her in times of entertainment.“Wow, Jennifer, thank you so much,” she said as she placed her belongings on her desk and sat down, while I sat down in front of her desk.“You are welcome, Ramona; you deserve it; all I want from you is to make me the next movie queen,” I smiled.“You want to overthrow Grace Grace?” She asked, and I nodded casually, and her gaze turned serious. ”“You do understand it would not be easy, right? Garcia has been an undefeated movie queen for years, plus she has one of the best managers,” Ramona reminded.“I know, I will be the one to take her crown; that is why I convinced Xander to make you my manager, remember?” “Times have suppressed your abilities for yea
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
Adrien Lockwood The scene was bustling with excitement, Xander was having the time of his life getting drunk with his other friends as ladies surrounded them in a bid to get their favor and, I sat in an isolated corner with an annoyed look on my face.Of course, I should have guessed Xander was up to no good when he invited me to meet with his clients in a bar. “Are these the clients you called me to meet?” I asked with a raised brow, the fact that I was patient enough to even watch their activities get to the stage of drunkenness was shocking, what got into me today?“Adrien, I did not lie to you I swear, I was indeed going to meet with my clients here but they bailed halfway, I did not want you to waste your time so I called my buddies and the ladies so you could have fun, you don't have to be so uptight all the time” he replied with a nervous smile.I knew he was lying, plus he also knew that I knew that he was lying, but was I going to say anything? No. I was too bored
The next day I sat in my office trying to accomplish some important task before I headed out to have a meeting with a potential client.After a while, I heard a knock on my office door.“It's me, Mr. Lockwood,” Smith said before he walked in.“This is all I was able to find about the lady from yesterday,” he said, and I nodded for him to go ahead.“Her name is Jennifer Lyons; she just got divorced from Adler Stirling a day ago when she found him cheating with her sister. She was once an actress, but she quit when she got married into the Stirling family and her sister took over. Plus, she severed all ties with her family yesterday, and she does not have any notable talent apart from acting. She was also previously a signee of Times Entertainment,” Smith summarised, and I nodded. So her name was Jennifer, hmmm.“Let's go,” I said to Smith as he stood up to walk out. I had to go to times to discuss my acquisition plan with them.The meeting did not take long; they were unwilling to acce
Jenna’s POVI decided to keep the baby since Adrien decided to step up, plus what are the odds of getting pregnant in both lives? I guess I was just destined to be a mother.“So you plan on telling your family that you are the father?” I asked Adrien as he drove away from the hospital, with his convoy following closely behind us.“Of course, I am the father now, remember?" Adrien said, and I let out a small laugh. Who said Adrien was ruthless? He was clearly a cutie patootie.I heard him say the most words in a day; that was quite funny.“Wait, I still have to go to the mall,” I reminded him as he was about to make a turn leading to our house.Amelia had already been taken home by one of Adrien’s guards, so I had no one to shop with, so I guess Adrien would be my scapegoat.After a few minutes, we finally arrived at ‘Big City Mall’. Looking at the large letters in front of the mall that spelled its name, I looked at Adrien with a raised brow.“I still don’t understand why you would na
“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
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
