"Huh"?Malia asked as she looked at both her dad and mom with a sad face. "Why can't they know you are my mom"?She asked and Ayla made her face her as she tried to explain things to her. "Sweetheart, Mommy is now an actress. If people find out, it might affect my career".Ayla said but Malia wasn't ready to give up."But... I'm not going to cause any problems. I promise".Malia said but Alex butted in."Malia".He called, making her look at him."That's enough".He said and now, Malia said nothing and just put her head down. "Fine".Malia immediately raised her head when she heard her mom speak. "I'll go to your school".Malia's eyes immediately lit up."Really"?She asked and Ayla nodded. Malia hugged her mother so tightly. "Thank you Mom. My friends won't mock me this time around".When Ayla heard what she said, she pulled her gently and looked her in the eyes. "What do you mean by that"?She asked and now, Malia simply smiled."It doesn't matter anymore. Now, they'll know I
Ayla's eyes opened wide when she heard what Fredrick just said. "What"?She asked and she heard him speak again."Come to the agency or better still, tell me where you are, I'll come to you".The excitement could be heard in his voice. "No!! I'll... I'll come to you".She said and he ended the call. After the call ended, Ayla looked at Malia and scattered her hair in confusion. She would have left her at home but the help went to get groceries. Going close to the little girl, she knelt down and asked her. "Sweetheart, do you want to see where I work"?Ayla asked and Malia's eyes immediately lit up. "Can I"?She asked and with a smile, Ayla nodded."But you have to promise me that you won't tell anyone that I'm your mom".Ayla asked enestly asked and Malia nodded before looking at her mom. "So what do I say"?She asked and Ayla thought for a while before she spoke. "You... you are my friend's sister".She said without any complaint, the girl nodded.Soon enough, they got to the
Alex looked at her for a while without saying a word. He was trying to figure her out but he couldn't. It seems like she actually didn't feel anything for him at all. Alexander's slender fingers played with the papers in his hands.Ayla swallowed hard as his gaze on her felt extremely intense even though he showed no emotion at all. "Mr Alexander"?She called and he just kept looking at her. "How long do you plan on staring at me like that"?She asked but he didn't answer her questions."I'll pay you more".He said but she wasn't moved at all. She has finally gotten a job and she enjoyed what she was doing. She also felt like she could have a huge future in the movie industry. She was not ready to risk it all for extra cash. "I'd politely decline".She said and he asked "Why"?She looked at him and sighed before answering."If we tell your parents about us, everyone would know that we are married. I'm sorry but I'm not letting anyone find out that we are married".She said and de
After Ayla left, Devon went to the study with his brother, and with a smile, he asked."So tell me, brother, did I do well"?He asked but Alex said nothing. "Oh come on, tell me did I do well? Huh? Huh"?He kept asking and acting like a puppy wagging his tail. Alex looked at his brother and although he said nothing he went to his drawer, opened it and removed a pair of keys, and handed it over to Devon. Devon stretched out his two hands and collected the keys like it was a sacrifice. His eyes were literally glittering as he kept looking at the keys on his hand and just when he was about to say something, he heard his elder brother speak. "Good job".His eyes were spackling so brightly it was as though he was going to cry so badly. This was the key to the limited Mercedes-Benz that was launched a while ago. He had been eying the car for so long. His brother just bought it last month and has not even used it at all but there were only two of this car in the entire world and now, o
Faith Li invited the crew for her last movie to a small party just to appreciate them and also spoil them a little since the movie turned out pretty well. Ayla had been preparing for this for a while now so practically everything was ready for the event. She dressed pretty simple but she still looked very beautiful. It was a red straight bodyhug gown that got a little bit below her knee. She added a bit of accessories, making sure she didn't do too much, and soon, she was good to go. Her friend Celine agreed to drop her off and although Celine arrived late, Ayla arrived on time as the event was just about to begin.The crew's main creators were all present, the flashing lights were on the rise, the media was like clouds, and there were a lot of fans who heard the wind.There were a lot of reporters as they heard it was the legendary Faith Li who was hosting the event. Soon enough, a simple event became another movie promotion.Most of the media gathered around the female lead act
Ayla smirked at what Sasha just said. She was very sure even Sasha didn't want people to know they were related so her threat was useless.Moving a bit closer, she spoke."Is that what you want? For everyone to know I am the sister you drugged and handed over to men to have their fill"?Ayla turned the question back at her and now, Sasha's hands dropped immediately."What... what are you saying? You don't have any proof".Sasha tried so hard to keep her cool but it wasn't really working. "You are right, I don't. But I can find some if that's what my pretty sister wants".Ayla said and she could see Sasha shake her head a little, indicating that she didn't want that to happen. "Get a grip on yourself, Sasha".Ayla said coldly, looking straight into Sasha's eyes as Sasha also looked back. "I know you followed me into the entertainment industry but you should know one thing, Dad can't protect you here. While you are here, you are at the mercy of the audience".Ayla smiled as it seemed
Ayla had her suspicions on who did this to her but since she wasn't sure, she could not attack so carelessly. 'If this is what you want, I'm ready for you'.She said in her mind. Malia had to go back home so Ayla was left alone in the hospital room. She was looking outside the window when she heard the door open. She was reluctant to look back but when she did, all her anger came back in hundred folds."What do you think you are doing here"?She asked and Sasha had a faint smile on her face as she approached Ayla with a basket of flowers. "Oh dear, are you okay"?Sasha asked and it was at this moment that Ayla realized her cunning sister came to the hospital with a bunch of reporters. Ayla smiled with one side of her lips. She could tell that Sasha was trying to get the favor of people by acting like a caring celebrity. After she dropped the flowers, she spoke. "I would have loved to stay with you but I have a new job to do and it's important I sign the deal as quickly as possib
Ayla smiled at the coincidence. The script was well written but the writer was not well known in the industry. It felt like this would probably even be his debut. She looked at the script and knowing she didn't have much of a choice, she agreed to do the drama. "Really? You'll do it"?Fredrick asked and she nodded. "You can't take back your words".He said as he rushed out of the room. When he was gone, Ayla looked at Alex who just sat there quietly. "Why are you here"?She asked and he looked at her for a while before giving out a light sigh. "Are you feeling better"?He asked and she nodded. She was no longer having any funny thoughts towards him so she could speak to him easily. "I tried to get the CCTV camera but it was completely destroyed".He said, making Ayla look at him before she nodded."I should at least expect all this, she won't go down so easily".Ayla said, making Alex look at her. "Who"?He asked and she looked at him before shaking her head. "It's nothing.
