My drama soon began filming and I go to the filming sight.As I am putting on my costume I hear the cast coming in one by one. It started getting crowded. The moment Kai enters all girls turn to look at him like lovestruck fools.After I finish getting ready, I head to the waiting area and sit there till my scene is not announced. The costume is a little heavy and it also has a cape-like thing that spreads on the floor.In order to carry this dress without getting it messed up, I lift it up in my hands but I step on something at that same moment.I only realize when someone called out, “Whoa! You stepped on Freya’s dress!”I turn around and see Freya lifting her dress. She looks at me and smiles. “It’s alright.”“I’m so sorry, Ma’am.” I apologize profusely. Way to offend people on my first day. What the hell is wrong with me?“You are the rookie who’s playing Estelle right?”“Yes ma’am,” I reply immediately.Freya seems to have a good temper. “Not bad. Do well. All the best.”“Thank
“I won’t be able to sleep on the floor like this… can we ask someone to bring another set of…”“Are you trying to tell them clearly that we sleep on separate beds?”“Then what do we do now…”Kayden frowns and throws his jacket on the bed. “I don’t care what you do I’m going to sleep.”I look at him with my jaw dropping down. Just now he said he will sleep on the floor. What is this?“No, I want to sleep on the bed too. You were the one who insisted on staying here.” I jump on the bed, burrowing myself in the blanket. I know this guy has OCD with the way he behaves, he needs everything very clean.A mischievous idea enters my head. “See this whole bed is now covered by my smell and bacteria. How will you sleep here now?”He narrows his eyes as I lick my fingers and wipe them on the blanket.“What the hell are you doing?!”I lift my head. “What? Don’t you know how animals claim their territory? They spread their smell everywhere. That’s what I’m doing!”The veins on Kayden’s forehead po
Pov: KaydenWe leave the Marshall Residence. I was really surprised, at how smoothly things went. I can tell everyone likes her very much, be it my mother or grandfather.But again, they’ll like anybody as long as she’s not Monica. They are also of the thought that Monica might hinder my way ahead and she’s not as simple as she looks.But I’ve been with her since I can remember. There’s no way anybody knows her as well as I do.Suddenly Zara yells, “Good Lord!”I glance sideways to see her shocked looking at the title and property deeds she got as our wedding present.She was reluctant to accept it maybe because she didn’t feel worthy of it but I explained that she deserves it as the daughter-in-law of the Marshalls.While smiling, she looked at the two packets repeatedly. “It looks like there are some benefits to tolerating your bad temper.”I look at her. “Money-grubber.”And on top of that, she’s the first daughter-in-law of the generation. There’s much more to come in the future.
I wake up immediately as I sense some moments around me. I am anyway a light sleeper. My eyes instantly searched Zara. “What happened?” I look at her with slight anxiousness. “Is there anything wrong with you?”Zara shakes her head, “No, I just pulled on my wound slightly.”I stand up quickly hearing this and lift the blanket to check her wound. It is still tightly bandaged and probably would not lead to complications.I let out a sigh of relief and frown at her. “Be more careful. Don’t move too much.”Last night, she mumbled time and again, and her groaning made me feel uneasy because I couldn’t do anything to take her pain away. She’s lying here because of me.I could only hold her hand and stay beside her. Around dawn, I couldn’t keep my eyes open.Henry saw this and wanted me to sleep in the adjacent room but each time I moved, Zara would groan in pain.Thus, I dismissed Henry with a gesture of my hand and stay there looking after her the entire time.Fortunately, the doctor said
She is dressed in a striped hospital gown and I recall her soft flawless skin. I felt uneasy realizing that it could be marred by such a large scar, all because of me.“…Is it because you feel guilty?”“Shut up.” I snap. But I indeed feel guilty.Ignoring me, she continues, “If you feel guilty, you should treat me a little better. It’s good enough if you don’t throw me out for no good reason.”I freeze. I recall the day before when I leave her out. My anger was triggered only because of her.For as long as I can remember, there had been no woman like her who is audacious enough to speak to me like this.But now, as I look at her, I merely say, “Okay.”She raises her head in surprise. I didn’t say anything further. I sort out the prescribed medicines that the doctor has given and pour a glass of water for her.Seemingly, she does not feel that terrible now, and slowly the night falls. Zara felt a little dazed and on the verge of falling asleep. She narrows her eyes at me, “What are you
After half an hour's drive, I reach Monica’s house.I walk in to see her lying on the bed with half of her body exposed. She looked ill but she has makeup on her face. I blank out when she hums softly. “Kay, if you didn’t come, you wouldn’t have been able to see me anymore.”I walk over to her. “How did you fall ill? You were completely fine until yesterday.”“I don’t know. I only know that I cried the whole night and I couldn’t eat anything. I called the doctor over, but she didn’t know what was wrong. I thought I was dying.”How is she about to die? Zara was the one who almost died! It made me angry at how lightly she is using the words such as dying. “Monica, I didn’t go to your birthday party because something urgent cropped up on my end. It was a life-and-death situation. I had no time to spare on other matters which includes this very instance of you suddenly calling for me to come. I really shouldn’t have come at all.”How can she be so thoughtless?My words were probably harsh
Pov: ZaraAfter returning home, I felt much more comfortable. All the apparatus in the hospital actually dampened my mood. Especially after I found out how much money it costs per day to stay in the VIP ward, it made me more uncomfortable.Kayden focused on his work, as usual, the next day. When he left, I insisted on going to the filming site.Mr. Jones stopped me a lot but I was adamant. “I can’t. How many days has it been already? The production team won’t want me anymore if I don’t go.”With no choice, Mr. Jones had to let me go making me promise to take care of myself. But I’m pretty sure he sent people behind me in secret. I didn’t mind them as long as they don’t hinder me from doing what I want.The film site was bustling and the production staff was not troubled by my absence which I was grateful for. But seeing me in a wheelchair, they walked over to me concerned, “What happened, I saw your post on Instagram. You were hospitalized?”“There was a car accident. Luckily, only my
I was still sprawled on the bed when I hear Kayden come in.“Zara, why did you run off to film the series when you’re not fully recovered yet?”Oh, the nagging. Mr. Jones must have told him everything.Kayden comes forward and frowns. “Hey, can you be a little more careful when you lie down?”“Why must I be careful at my own home?” I say indolently. “My life would be redundant otherwise.”Kayden picks up the blanket from one side and covers me with it.I wriggle my waist. “What are you doing? It’s so hot.”Kayden turns his head away. “Even if you want to seduce me, at least do it with panties that can do the job.”I blank out at what he said. I was wearing a homely pair of casual shorts that were on the loose side. Underneath my panties were presently exposed.Blushing, I quickly pull my pants up and stand up. “What? It’s not like you haven’t seen it before anyway.”Kayden smiles and comes slightly closer to my face. “So you are saying since I’ve seen it, I can see it whenever I want
