Hi guys, this weekend is busy for me with many chores so the next update will be tomorrow. However, I will release three chapters on Monday and Tuesday to make it up to you. Thanks for all your support!
“Where is the storeroom?” Ezrah asked as Landon responded, “It’s not necessary. I would find a way out, but I just want you to keep an eye on Michelle.” Ezrah had a feeling that something was wrong for Landon to be locked in the storeroom, but before he asked, Landon explained further. “One of her co-stars, Bianca, called, but because Michelle was going on set, she gave her phone to me, and I answered it.” Ezrah was not liking this and asked, “What did she say?” “Bianca said that she heard a conversation from one of the actors on her set in Morocco, warning another actress to stay away from Michelle because of Mr. Newman but did not get the details. She wanted Michelle to be careful as it seemed someone was planning to harm her.” Feeling uneasy, Ezrah began to look around for any clues, getting none as Landon continued to speak. “Now that we have been locked here, it only means that the person is close.” “Thanks for telling me. I will take care of it.” Ezrah did not plan to wai
Ezrah had not studied the script and had no idea what was supposed to happen.However, when Michelle’s enemy in the script, which happened to be Edmund, pulled out a dagger from his long boot as part of the costume he wore, Ezrah panicked. Though he had seen Edmund before, the only people he could trust there were Lake and Coco. Without thinking, he dashed through the woods from the short distance between them, colliding with Michelle.“Ezrah, what the hell?” Michelle yelled when Ezrah took the stab that was meant for her.Everyone was shocked because it was not supposed to be a real dagger.The original prop was designed in such a way that though it looked like a real dagger, the fake one was plastic and would slip into the handle. That would make it appear as if the sharp end had penetrated through the body of the actress when in actual fact, it slips back into the handle. When the cameras are paused, the fake blood would be used by the make-up artist to make it look like a real
Coco went to embrace Michelle comfortingly as Lake spoke with a cold expression. “Don’t worry. The culprit will be brought to justice.”Ezrah was his best friend, and it hurt Lake that someone had dared to outsmart them.Just as Ezrah would have done if Lake were the one in this condition, he was already making calls here and there as Landon assisted the Miami Police Department with investigations.It took hours before the doctor came out. “Family of the patient?”The three people stepped forward, but Michelle’s words caught the doctor's attention. “I’m his wife.”Lake and Coco took steps back. Though they knew she said so to get firsthand information, it warmed both Coco and Lake’s hearts.The doctor was shocked as he recognized Michelle from her movies but acted professionally.“Please come with me.”Lake and Coco followed when Lake said, “we are his family too.” The doctor stared at Michelle and with a nod, he allowed them.At the doctor’s office, Michelle asked eagerly, “How is he
“Do you have any idea who is sponsoring her?” Lake asked seriously, considering every means to bring the person to book.Sebastian answered over the phone, “Aside from my cousin, I can’t think of anybody else.”“Rush? But Ezrah has kept a close tab on him, and there hasn’t been anything fishy,” Sebastian recalled.There have been no meetings between Piper and Rush, nor any calls between them.Sebastian might not have proof, but his gut told him so. Aside from him and Ezrah, the only person around Piper’s circle rich enough to sponsor her was Rush.Piper hated Michelle, and Rush hated Ezrah. Those two made the perfect pair. “Shall we bet?”“No. I believe you, but we need evidence. You know that Rush would not try to hurt Michelle. That is the reason for my insistence on evidence,” Lake stated his claim.It made sense to Sebastian. Indeed, Rush would not plot something like that against Michelle.His style would rather be to kidnap and force her to do his bidding.“You are right. I will
“Please tell me everything,” Lake said eagerly. Landon began to explain the details as fast as he could.“The investigators got Interpol to arrest Bianca’s contact in Morocco. According to her, the person she was talking to on the phone was just trying to teach Michelle a lesson.”“By stabbing her with a poisoned knife?” Lake was enraged, but Landon calmly responded over the phone.“No. She tampered with Michelle’s makeup to cause irritation on her face and make her quit the production. However, Michelle had used her own makeup from her new collection line for the production.”This was probably not what Lake wanted to hear. “Okay, so it means a lot of people are after Michelle. How can you prevent that?” He asked, gaining Michelle’s attention as well.She was aware of the dangers in her line of work, such as jealousy, but she had been careful through it all.“Bianca said she faced similar instances, which is why she took a long break. However, acting is her passion, and with her husban
“Excuse me, ma’am,” the nurse asked, and when Michelle turned to face her, she was shocked.Her colleagues from earlier had mentioned it, but she could not believe that one of her favorite movie stars was right there at the hospital.Forgetting what Michelle was even screaming about, she instead asked, “Michelle Banks? Can I have your autograph?”Michelle paled with annoyance, temporarily forgetting that she was a star but still looking in the direction the man was running.“Not now. That man came out of this room,” she pointed in the direction he went, hoping the nurse would call for hospital security.“Are you sure?” The nurse asked, looking clueless and Michelle, upset, forgot to filter her words.“You are useless. Check if everything is okay with him.”The nurse understood that the handsome man on the bed must be a relative of the movie star and went to check on Ezrah.“Please relax. Everything is fine,” she said after checking the monitors.A bodyguard soon arrived, and Michelle k
A month ago in New York, Piper was derailed after Sebastian’s refusal to let her parents see their daughter.She did not even know the girl’s name or where Rush’s father lived. The last time she met Sebastian’s father was at the hospital and she was too eager to return to Ezrah to care.Piper walked into a bar and began ordering drinks. By the time she was done, her legs felt like jelly, and she fell by the wayside before the cab she ordered could arrive.When she woke up, she found herself in a small dark room, tied to a chair. She had been kidnapped.“Help! Anybody help me,” she yelled, not knowing her location. The door opened, and two men walked in. Fear registered in her eyes as she feared what they planned to do to her.“What do you want with me? I don’t have any money. Please let me go,” she cried pitifully, but the man showed no expression.He brought a phone and activated the speaker. “My boss wants to talk to you.”Piper swallowed tightly and answered. “Who is your boss, an
“Good news first,” Rush replied, not bothering to turn around to look at the man behind her. The bodyguard revealed. “We have a doctor who can treat you. He’s in…” “The bad news?” Rush asked. He had already heard of the Doctor, the one he was speaking on the phone with before the rude interruption. “We got someone to finish off Ezrah at the hospital, but Michelle appeared in time and now she won’t leave his bedside.” A frown squeezed Rush’s face as he turned the wheelchair around. After sending the money to Piper, she had not given him any updates on the state of events. “Wait, how did he end up at the hospital?” Rush asked seriously, wondering what was going on. He did not like this. Any attack on Ezrah that did not finish him off would only bring about huge consequences. The bodyguard was sweating nervously. “Boss, I thought you knew. There was an attempt on Michelle’s life, but Ezrah saved her and took the stab for her.” Rush’s brows raised. This showed that Ezrah
