Sandy lost her balance and fell to the floor. Her entire body was trembling nonstop in fear.…When Colton learned that Sandy was still in Zlokova, he hastily sent someone to look for her. Meanwhile, the police had put Sandy on the list of people wanted for illegal entry.When Freyja passed by the study room with Deedee, she overheard Colton and Leonardo’s conversation. She tightened her grip on Deedee when she learned that her mother was still in Zlokova.Deedee raised her head to look at her and said in a low voice, “Aunt Freyja, you’re hurting me.”Freyja snapped herself back to reality and loosened her grip a little bit. Leaning forward, she touched her hand and said, “I’m sorry. Does it still hurt?”She shook her head. “Not anymore.”Leonardo suddenly opened the door at that moment, and both of them were startled.“Ms. Pruitt?” he said.Colton raised his head and looked toward the door.Freyja met his gaze and lowered her head to say to Deedee. “Go back to your room firs
Daisie was holding a skewer in her hand. She would pull her facial mask down to take a bite every other step, looking like a greedy kitten carefully stealing food from its master.Nollace looked at her and chuckled adoringly. “It seems like I didn’t feed you enough today. You’ve been eating non-stop ever since you came here.”Daisie was stumped.She did not know why, but she felt it was weird when he said he did not feed her enough. She covered her mouth and mumbled, “It has been a long time since I had a skewer.” As if she thought of something, she took one out of the bag and said, “Do you want to try one?”Suddenly, he leaned forward and took a bite from her skewer.Daisie was stunned, and it took a while before she came around to her senses. “Why did you…”When she sensed the gaze from the crowd, she hurriedly put on her mask and said, “What are you doing? Do you want us to get caught?”She did not know why Nollace refused to wear a mask. He had attracted a lot of attenti
Nollace carried her to the bed. Just when he was about to get up, Daisie pulled him downward. Luckily, he was quick enough to prop himself up by placing his arm on the bed. Looking at the woman with deer eyes below him, he gulped hard and frowned. “Daisie, you’re being a bad girl again.”Daisie caressed his lips with her finger and said, “I’m not a kid, so why am I a bad girl?”Nollace took a deep breath and pushed her hand away. “If you don’t stop this, I—”She smiled. “You what?”Daisie had a sweet and alluring face. No men could resist her if she took advantage of her innocent face.She did not have to lure or disguise herself. Her smile was her trap, and no prey could escape it.Nollace did not say anything.He fixed his gaze on her, and his jawline was tightly set.While Daisie was thinking about using the technique she had learned from television to seduce Nollace, he kissed her without any sign.She snapped herself back to reality and placed her hands on his chest, but
Daisie pushed the door of the private room open, saw about five people behind the wooden screen, and walked in.Shannon was the first to see her, so he got up and walked toward her. “Daisie, you’re finally here. Come and join us, and let me introduce the latest investor of our drama to you.”Daisie’s gaze landed on the man sitting with his back facing her. Just as Shannon had finished speaking, the man turned his head slowly and met her gaze.Daisie froze in place for a moment, and she could not believe who she saw. “You...”There was a smile on the corner of his lips, and it looked as warm and elegant as it was back then. “Daisie, it’s been a long time.”Daisie chuckled and patted his upper arm. “Zephir, it’s really you! Since when did you return to Zlokova?”The screenwriters and producers present in the room were all astonished. Even Shannon could not help but laugh out loud. “Do you know each other?”Zephir looked at Shannon, smiled, and nodded. “Yeah, we’re quite familiar w
For now, the only role that had its performer confirmed was Nancy Hanks, and Daisie would play her. And Shannon had been going through and considering suitable actors for the other two leading roles, namely Simon Winchester and Xenos Yates.When the screenwriter asked Daisie for her opinion, she was stunned. “Do you want my opinion?”Shannon waved his hand and explained, “It’s okay, Daisie. Υou have also read the script and the original novel. You can recommend who you think is the most suitable actor for the roles.”Daisie stared at Zephir.Zephir nodded with a smile.She rubbed her chin and gave it a thought. Αfter all, those two characters were supposed to be gay in Freyja’s original novels. However, after her copyright to the novel was acquired by others and changes were made to the original copy, the rather sensitive LGBT relationship was changed into a brotherhood.Simon Winchester was a reporter and was once the son of a wealthy family. Because of the tragedy that had happ
Shannon nodded. “Although I’ve never worked with James, I’ve worked with his mother, Marione Gondalez. Since he’s Marione’s son, his acting skills shouldn’t be too bad.”Daisie glanced at him. “Thank you, Mr. Fallon. Τhen I’ll discuss this matter with him when I get back.”It was eleven o’clock in the morning when the meal was over.Daisie and Zephir sent Shannon and the producers downstairs. After the others left, the two walked to the parking lot in the basement.Daisie walked beside him. “Zephir, why didn’t you say you wanted to be a director?”After not seeing him throughout all these years, Zephir was no longer the elder brother that she knew from school—he looked more mature, handsome, and elegant than back then.He turned to look at her. “You never asked me back then.”She scratched her cheeks and smiled embarrassedly. “You’re right, but I’m surprised that you would choose to get into showbiz.”“Whichever field that I choose, it’ll always be the same.” He stopped, turned
After saying that, he added, “Don’t worry, I won’t get Daisie involved.”Colton pursed his lips tightly for a while. “How confident are you?”He smiled and lifted his gaze. “Are you worried about me, Colton?”Colton clicked his tongue and crossed his arms. “I’m not worried about you. Daisie will become a widow if you take a careless step and die. I don’t wish to see her become a widow at such a young age because of you.”Nollace picked up the cup and said nothing.Colton got up. “If you need help, voice out at any time. You’d better not die.”The corner of Nollace’s lips twitched slightly upon hearing this, and he took a sip of tea.…Daisie was looking for James to talk about him taking over the role, but as soon as she stepped into the studio, she saw Freyja moving boxes.She dashed straight over, helped her with the boxes, and scolded her, “Freyja! Aren’t you on leave? Why have you come back to work all of a sudden? And why are you carrying such a heavy box? Aren’t you afra
Freyja raised her hand and stroked her head. “The nanny at home won’t hurt you, so be brave and don’t be afraid anymore, okay?”Deedee did not utter a single word.“Mr. Goldmann.” The nanny suddenly stepped aside and nodded respectfully.Colton handed his suit to the nanny, and the nanny took it from him and stepped back. He then unbuttoned his cuffs and stepped forward. “What’s wrong?”Freyja said something to Deedee, and the latter took a glance at Colton before going upstairs.She stood up, turned around, and stared at Colton. “Deedee is still mentally scarred. She just won’t follow anyone that she doesn’t know well around.”Colton took a glance upstairs. “Maybe we can find her a therapist to help her out.”After saying that, he turned his head and looked at her. “You’re now pregnant, and you still have to make time to take care of her. And the main thing is that besides you, she won’t let the nanny take care of her. So if we don’t give her the right guidance, I’m afraid that
