Jayden returned to the living room of the police station. Lea opened her eyes and sat up straight. She looked at Jayden in confusion. "Oh, I fell asleep. Why didn't you wake me, Jay?" Lea asked, writhing in pain. Jayden laughed and sat by Lea's side. He reached out and smoothed Lea's messy hair. "You only got less than fifteen minutes of sleep, Lea. I just went to the bathroom, and spoke to the police who are processing this case, asking about checking the water that was accused of causing the problem." "Fifteen minutes? Ooh ... that's the deepest sleep I've ever had in the last month," Lea said happily. Jayden smiled. He had ordered his men to oversee the laboratory examination process for the mineral water previously drunk by Fely, because he was worried that fraud would occur in the examination. Dalton Braiven and Garry Eich could have cheated on someone they didn't like, in this case Lea. The living room door opened and a police officer entered. "Ms. Amarin and Mr. Jay
Chapter 41 The Father Decision Lea sat in the car with the doors and windows wide open, enjoying the clear night sky and the stars starting to appear one by one, bright and very close. Lea and Jayden were up on a hill on the outskirts of town. Jayden invites Lea to this hill to relax for a while, after the tension of the day yesterday. "Since I was little, I often come to this hill to unwind or just relax when I feel tired. This hill is calm and the air is fresh," said Jayden this afternoon when he picked Lea up. "Lea, have you watched television?" Jayden asked, turning on the television in the car. "The police will release the results of laboratory research and doctor Jaxon's diagnosis report on Fely's health condition, in about ... five minutes." Lea stared at the television which had started to turn on, broadcasting a soap commercial. "Oh? I thought the police would only release it on the internet, in a short review on local news sites," Lea said surprised. "They will
"What's your plan for today?" Jayden asked, rolling up his car window.Lea didn't answer right away, but instead looked closely at Jayden. Jayden looks very different today. He wore a light blue long-sleeved shirt, the sleeves rolled up to his elbows, wore a dark blue tie that hung low around his neck, combined with black trousers and shiny black leather shoes.With one glance, Lea knew that everything that stuck so snugly on Jayden's athletic body were expensive items from famous brands."Jay, are you going somewhere or attending an important event?" she asked. "You are very neat and look formal."Jayden was a little taken aback by Lea's question, but quickly pulled himself together. "I just drove a CEO to an important meeting and he asked me to dress like this. His driver always dresses like this too and today I'm his replacement."Jayden couldn't say that today he had to chair a shareholder meeting at his company because a problem had occurred."Ah, I thought you had something impo
Eloise Althea.Lea stared at the woman's photo on a gossip site that discussed the world of entertainment.People called Eloise the goddess of golden hands, because the models she chose and educated were bound to become famous and successful. She is a star maker.Lea felt that moving from Nina as an agent to Eloise as a manager did not seem like something that would make Lea's steps easier.She also felt sure, Eloise had prejudiced against her even though they had never met. At least, Nina must have said many things about her and Lea was sure that whatever came out of Nina's mouth about her would not be something pleasant.Leah took a deep breath. The difficult situation was not yet over. However, this time Lea is determined to take better care of herself and strike back at anyone who wants to hurt her. She didn't know Eloise yet, but she knew that Eloise might make things difficult for her. Leah would not let that happen."Lea, have you been waiting long?" asked Jayden who suddenly a
Eloise looked at Lea in disbelief. "What do you want to say, Ms. Amarin?" Lea clicked her tongue casually. "I'll allow you to just call me Lea, because we'll be working together." "I didn't say that I have accepted you under my management, Ms. Amarin," snapped Eloise in an annoyed tone. She was a bit confused by Lea's easygoing attitude and wasn't intimidated by her at all. It's impossible that Lea doesn't know who she is. In the world of entertainment at Sky High, Eloise is one of the people who is considered a major influencer on the development of fashion. "Of course you will be my manager and take good care of everything, Eloise," Lea said with a smirk on her lips. "We're going to help each other and make big things together, profit and prosper together. You can't help but have to work with me." "You are so presumptuous, Amarin!" snapped Eloise angrily. "Tsk tsk, don't be grumpy. You've got enough wrinkles in the corners of your eyes because you forced yourself to be mean
"Lea, have you been waiting long?" said Eloise, dragging her suitcase. "I'm sorry I'm late. I have something to take care of at home, about my parents." "Oh, it's okay, Eloise. Are your parents okay?" asked Lea intently. "Yes, yes, they are fine, thank you. How are you, ready?" asked Eloise while noticing Lea's casual appearance this morning. "You look cool and beautiful." Lea smiled happily because Eloise liked her appearance. She wore a black tank top overlaid with a cream croptop jacket, tight black jeans, which wrapped her shapely legs nicely and cream colored boots to match her jacket and handbag. Lea also only wore light makeup and made her hair into an arbitrary bun which was a bit messy, but instead made it look fresh and natural. Eloise admits that Lea has a unique and eye-catching beauty, moreover she is skilled at mixing and matching clothes and hairstyles to create certain styles that are pleasing to the eye. "Eloise, will Fely be leaving with us? She hasn't come unt
Eloise likes Jayden. Who's not. He was a handsome man with exotic honey-colored skin and almost perfect features in every part of his face. Plus, he's got an athletic body, with firm muscles in all the right places, broad shoulders and a broad chest, it must have been a pleasure to be in his arms. He would soon be famous for starring in even the cheapest of movies, just by her deep, piercing gaze, or charming smirked smile. However, listening to her conversation with Lea at the airport when she joined, Eloise was a bit worried. It seems like Jayden has only been lucky in his physical appearance, but not in his professional life. Hearing the conversation between Jayden and Lea, it seemed like he was a freelance driver who worked for the rich and probably did a secret thing or two for them too. Eloise admits that Lea and Jayden look well-matched and their relationship seems to be going well, because both of them put forward an attitude of mutual respect and support for their respecti
"Ms. Lea Amarin, please enter the judging room," called a woman with a committee tag on her shirt. Eloise squeezed Lea's hand hard. "Good luck, Lea. I wish you all the best." "Thank you, Eloise. Don't worry too much, OK?" Lea tidied her clothes and stepped into the judging room. There were several people in the room, but the one who stood out the most was a man in a green beret and wooden-rimmed glasses. He stood out as he sat in the middle of several other people, with an eccentric appearance and a very sullen face like someone who had just lost all his stock. "Mr. Maximo, this is the last audition participant, Ms. Lea Amarin," said the woman who had called Lea. Maximo Alo, a renowned director of video clips and short films, raises his hands in the air in dramatic fashion. "Lastly? Oh my God, what are we supposed to do if this one is just as bad as the last one?" A slender man dressed like an office worker, in a shirt, trousers, and tie, cleared his throat to Maximo's right.
Five Years Later."Do not touch me!" demanded Lea in an icy voice. "Sleep outside and don't come in before I call you." Jayden was stunned. He accepted the pillow and blanket that Lea gave him with a sad face. "Baby, come on, I promise I won't touch you, but let me sleep next to you, OK?" Jayden coaxed gently. Lea turned Jayden around and pushed him out of the room, then closed the door and locked it. Jayden looked at the bedroom door languidly and headed for Luke's room. He shifted his son's body slightly then positioned himself next to him. Luke woke up and saw his father curled up beside him. "Dad? You got kicked out again?" asked Luke in a sleepy voice. "Yes. Your mother just finished taking a shower and was wearing the kimono that I just bought for her, suddenly she was crying and angry with me." "Does she not like her kimono?" "He said he liked it when I gave it to her this morning, son, but then he said I purposely chose a color that made him look fat." "What color d
Firts Entcounter."You are Jonathan Issac, the actor," Liam said, looking at Jonathan closely. Something sparks in his eyes when he shakes hands with Jonathan. Jonathan nodded. He didn't expect that a computer genius and internet expert could be so handsome and stylish. He is even more handsome than his fellow actors. "You are the cousin of Jayden Franzine, the computer genius?" Jonathan asked. "Yes. Why? Don't I look that smart?" Jonathan imagined a middle-aged man with a slightly pot belly, a half-bald head, and plastic-rimmed glasses that went down to his nose, not a man with a sexy tan skin, a tall, athletic body, and a face like a grown man's magazine model. "Uncle Liam!" shouted Luke who came out of the clinic while running towards Liam. The man scooped Luke into his arms. "Ohoo ... my cool nephew, how are you, boy? How is the application you are working on?" "I have to fix some things, uncle." "Bring it to me later and we'll fix it together." "Yes uncle. I'll ask Dad
"You're an ordinary human," Leon said while looking at the woman in front of him. "But you are very beautiful and you have a very bright aura." Shery looked at the man in the colorful Hawaiian shirt who looked happy and always smiling. "Yes, I'm human. However, since childhood I've been involved in the werewolf world, because my great great grandfather is the only human doctor who is recognized and given a special title--Werewolf Vet Specialist by the White Fur pack after successfully treating prince Vonsha White when he was attacked in border to Brazil by wild werewolves who staged a coup d'etat, then my great grandfather, my grandfather, and my father passed on and now I'm also a vet for the werewolf," Shery answered while holding her chin up high. Leon's eyebrows rose. "The doctor who was given the title ... wait, you're the granddaughter of doctor Tonnam Kim and the son of doctors Patricia and Darius Lee?" he asked. "Wow!" Shery interrupted without answering. Since the beginn
Shaira is proud of what Lea has achieved. She was also deeply moved when Lea mentioned his name in the speech and expressed her appreciation."Tony, I'm going to get some wine," Shaira said, pointing to a corner of the hall."Don't drink too much, Shaira, you tend to get grumpy when you're drunk," Tony warned. "You're not a very good drinker either."Shaira gave her thumb and walked to a corner of the hall where a long table served various drinks and sweet pastries.Shaira was standing at the side of the table, trying several types of wine, when suddenly ...“Oops, sorry,” Shaira said. She stared at the man in front of her, whose jacket was wet with spilled wine from the glass in her hand.The man was wearing a khaki suit and now a large purplish red circle was starting to spread over the khaki color. Shaira quickly took out a wet tissue from the bag and patted the stains on the suit."Stop, stop, miss, you will only make the stains stick to the suit," Ricky said annoyed, holding Shai
Dalton tries to persuade Fely to eat, but in vain. Fely was getting more and more gloomy and emaciated, but this morning when Dalton was delivering breakfast to her room instead of Nyla, he tripped over something near the nightstand next to the bed.He bent down and picked up the white object and stared at it in disbelief. A test pack, with two thick red lines. Dalton's face went pale. He noticed Feli who was sleeping on her back. Dalton quickly descended into the dining room and approached Nyla."Honey, do you know about this?" asked Dalton while handing the test pack to Nyla who was setting the table.Nyla stared at the thing Dalton proffered with bleary eyes. She took it with trembling hands. "Fe-fely?"Dalton fell on the dining chair, limp. Nyla sat on another dining chair nearby, just as limp."How about this?" muttered Nyla. "It will be a disgrace and the talk of the people."Dalton was stunned, unable to answer his wife's question. Nyla looked around her now empty house. She fi
"Fely, come on, you have to eat," Nyla coaxed gently. "Look how thin your face is."Fely turned her body while pulling the blanket. "There's no use for me to eat, Mom. My life is over. Just let me die so I won't trouble you," said Fely in a hoarse voice.Nyla cried sadly. She never thought of her family would be this devastated. Fely will no longer be able to work in the entertainment world she likes for the next five years, which means that her career in the entertainment world is truly over. How come. In the next five years, Fely's age will increase and even if she has strong connections that can bring her back to a career in the entertainment world, she will still experience difficulties.Garry has officially announced that he has broken off his engagement with Fely and will withdraw all of his shares in Echo entertainment.That means, some of the entertainment shares that have been withdrawn by Garry must be immediately replaced by other investors, or Fely buys all the shares with
"I can't believe this is actually happening," Lea muttered. She turned and faced Eloise. "Is this good enough for me?"Eloise's tears welled up in her eyes. She grabbed Leah's hands and held them tightly. "I know, one day you will shine like this and your light will not go out because someone is protecting you."Lea smiled. "Thank you for coming, Eloise. I really appreciate it."Eloise wiped the wet corners of her eyes. "This is my honor. After all, I am only human. To be able to see a ceremony like this is an honor for me."Lea and Eloise turned to the door at the same time, when they heard someone knocking on the door, then Shaira's and Shery's heads appeared."Come in! I'm done," called Lea.Shaira and Shery entered, wide-eyed at Lea's appearance."Oh my, Lea, you're such a fairy!" cried Shery in amazement.Shaira was speechless, just stared at Lea in awe. Lea smiled. She wore a white, low V-neck dress, with long sleeves and an A-line cut that flared below her legs. A chain necklac
Lea and Luke's chins almost dropped, looking at the interior of Franzine manor. They never thought they would be able to see the luxury of noble houses that they had only seen on television before through movies or dramas, in front of their eyes, in real life.High ceilings, wide marble staircases, large glass windows, and solid teak rich doors, like a classic impression of a manor built by the ancestors of the Franzine family, combined with luxurious and minimalist modern themed furniture, making Franzine manor feel alive and extraordinarily beautiful."Dad, how many floors are there in this manor?" asked Luke, looking up. "Three floors and an additional floor above which is made into a dome garden. I'll take you there after we meet everyone.""Master Jayden, you've arrived," said a midled age woman dressed in a light blue uniform that greeted Jayden, Lea, and Luke at the entrance.She looked at Lea with a fascinated gaze. "Owh, you look even prettier than I see in magazines or tele
"Move?" asked Lea with raised eyebrows. "Why should we move?"Jayden was drying Luke's freshly washed hair. He stopped rubbing Luke's head and looked at Lea. "Luke is getting bigger, he needs more space to grow and also a more pleasant social environment. The apartment feels a little cramped now. Isn't it, Luke?"Luke nodded with a thumbs up, not daring to make a comment for fear that Lea would still be upset with him.After Jayden confessed his true identity to Lea, Luke, Jonathan, Ricky, and Tony respectively admitted that they already knew who Jayden was.Lea is very upset because she feels lied to by everyone. However, Lea's anger didn't last long, because she realized that Jayden was also thinking about her career and self-esteem, so she had to hide his identity."Moving where, babe?" Lea asked finally."Would you and Luke come with me in the morning? My family wants to see you," Jayden said carefully. "No coercion, only hope."Lea laughed at Jayden's words. "All right. What time
