Chapter 98: Mastermind Immediately, Elsie lunged to the window where she watched his car speed away. She wondered out loud, "What is so important?" Elsie recalled seeing the caller ID - it was April. Was April in danger? Or is she hurt? Why did Aiden leave so suddenly? This was not the first time he ran off after one call from his sister. Yet, today seemed more urgent. Closing her eyes, Elsie offered prayers for his safety. It was late and the roads were covered in snow. Pulling into a driveway, Aiden rushed in huge steps towards a house. He pressed the bell, waiting for a response. When April opened the door, she was delighted to see the man she had su
Chapter 99: What if I told you I was reborn? In his study, Aiden sat cross-legged, his gaze focused on the document in his grasp. It talked about a merger with one of his clothing companies in the UAE with another famous brand in the locality. It had been cross-checked by several associates, which confirmed the terms to be favorable. Still, Aiden Scott cared less about their opinion. He meticulously ensured that everything was as it was supposed to appear, with no fraud. As if anything could pass under his nose! At this time, Elsie, clad in a red skinny blouse and black shorts, skipped in. Her face shone with delight and ecstasy. As she neared him, her bold fragrance demanded his attention, causing his gaze to shift to the woman staring down at him, wearing an infinite smile on her pink l
Chapter 100: Bye blue Elsie's eyes widened in surprise at Aiden's demand. "Reward you?" she repeated, her voice laced with confusion. Aiden gently took Elsie's hand and brought it to his lips, planting a tender kiss on her knuckles. "Yes. A reward for being such an outstanding husband." Elsie smiled, teasing him. "Who said you are outstanding? Why are you bent on saying things that I didn't say?" Aiden's scowl transformed into a mischievous smirk as he leaned in closer, his lips brushing against her ear. "Should I bend you over? Isn't that your favorite position? What? Right here like before?" "Shut up!" Elsie's cheeks flushed with a mixture of excitement and embarrassment. She struggled to escape his grip, but he only tightened it there more. As their eyes locke
Chapter 101: You are playing with fire Inclining her head, Elsie gasped, "It's you?!" Leila stood there in awe, clothed in a wet slim knee-length dress. "What are you doing here?" She asked, looking panicked. Her gaze darted to the exit, her brows raised as understanding of the opened door dawned on her. "I could ask you the same," Elsie's lips twitched as she stood with the help of Leila. She gaped at Leila's wet clothes in confusion. Why would she be taking a shower with clothes on? Unless she was aiding another in taking her bath. "Um..." Leila licked her lips, clutching the side of the dress too. She lowered her voice, "I was washing the bathroom. I mistakenly turned on a faucet and it rained all over my body."
Chapter 102: I found the book Elsie carefully opened the door and peeked out, ensuring the hallway was clear before she continued her search. The pain in her leg was persistent, but her determination outweighed the discomfort. Elsie halted midway to take in a deep breath and to let her ankle rest. She brought out her phone and with a few moves, she cut the power supply to the east wing of the house where she was. This was to hinder any recording by the cameras. Soon, she carried on. Arriving at the secret door, she punched in the codes to no avail. Dahlia was a smart woman, and she changed the codes the second she found out Elsie had exited the room. Stopping at Dahlia's office, she gave the doorknob a jiggle to open, it was locked. She took out a hair pin
Chapter 103: Phine Asong is not a whore Again, Elsie ignored the snarky comment. It was obvious that they thought she could not act and a waste of their time. Elsie Ross was an unknown actress with no past works, how could they trust her to act such a career-lifting role when Trixson Dale, an actress with years of experience, already had it and was doing well too. "You can act, right?" Suzy mocked with a degrading chuckle. Her eyes glanced over Elsie's outfit, and she turned to the other panel members, then back to Elsie, her cold words demeaning. "I hope you didn't put too much work on your outfit because you know the panel are all men." At her comment, Director Lee chuckled, his hand slipping in between his legs to cover the bulge growing there. Elsie wore an overall, as per the character, but she looked even more radiant and enchanting in it. Elsie turned red with anger. She pressed two fingers into her palm to control her temper. She won't let it work again
Chapter 104: Bring his fantasies to reality "Time's up!" Suzy yelled across the room, staring down at her stopwatch. It was already past time, and she disliked how enthralled they were already about Elsie's acting. "No, Suzy. Go on, Elsie," the bald man, Simon, urged, his eyes glued to the scene in front of him. The other members, who were also captivated by Elsie's acting, spoke up. "Yes, we should give her more time." "I'd like to see the end of this," Bryce added, mocking Suzy with a smile. This made her cross her arms over her chest. As such, Elsie carried on with the scene. Elsie remained on her knees, tears streaming down her face as the reality of the situation sank in. She had been so certain that she and Ethan had a connection, a future together. But now, to see him with her own sister, it was a devastating blow. As per the scene, she imagined Rachel approaching, placing a gentle hand on her shoulder. "Elsie, are you alright?" she asked, her vo
Chapter 105: He hates staining his handsElcilia leaned in closer to the video camera as she paused, then added with a wink, "And who knows, you might even have some fun trying on different options for him later..." Elsie could not help but smile at that. Soon, she heard the sounds of footsteps approaching. Just from the powerful strides, she could guess who it was. "No, we will be leaving tomorrow. I cannot wait any longer. It has been postponed for too long," she heard him tell the other person on the line. 'They must be talking about the honeymoon,' Elsie thought, a smile creeping onto her lips. Five days on a fancy island with Aiden was more than a dream come true. She had already planned a lot of activi
