Eloise paced back and forth as she waited for Cadence to arrive. She didn’t hear her last statement since Ollie had started vomiting, but she wished that Cadence would come soon.

After a few more minutes, someone finally knocked on her door. She sighed in relief and went to open it.

“Oh, thank god, you’re here. Ollie is very ill, and I—”

She stopped talking when she realized it wasn’t Cadence she was talking to.

“What are you doing here?” she snapped.

Vaughn looked at the distressed Eloise and took a step forward.

“Ollie? What did you mean by Ollie?”

Eloise sighed and ran her hand through her hair. She can’t believe that she’ll be revealing it like this.

“Isn’t Cadence coming?” she asked.

“She’s not,” Vaughn insisted. “Now, what do you mean by what you said?”

Just then, Ollie’s voice was heard from their bedroom.

“Mommy!” he called out.

Eloise ignored Vaughn and quickly went to their room. Vaughn followed from behind her, his heart beating fast inside his chest.

    Vaughn glanced at Eloise and smiled when he saw her sleeping figure. She looked so peaceful like this, but he knew that she endured so many hardships for the past year. Xavi was right when he said that Eloise was the best thing to ever happen in his life. Vaughn was just stupid, naive, and prideful to realize it back then. And now, he doesn’t even know if he could take her back. Eloise mumbled in her sleep, causing Vaughn to let out a chuckle. He went to her and carried her to the extra bed, covering her body with a blanket. “Sleep tight,” he whispered as he observed her angelic face. After making sure that she was sound asleep, he went to Ollie’s bed and moved his hair out of his face. Vaughn was glad that he was already sleeping soundly. His heart ached to see him in so much pain. “Son,” he tested out the waters. Surprisingly, it sounded natural—like he was waiting for this moment. “Son,” he repeated with more confidence this time. “Sleep well, my son,” he whispered, bending

    Eloise feels like this is all a dream. For the past day, the three of them had spent time in their own little world—with no one interrupting their peace. It was strange how it felt so natural. But it was scary at the same time. She didn’t want to get attached to Vaughn too soon. “He’s fast asleep,” Vaughn said, glancing at Ollie. “Hmm,” Eloise hummed. “He sleeps really well. That’s one thing I’ve never had a hard time with when he was younger.”“Umm, if it isn’t too much to ask, how was Ollie when he was younger?” he asked. Eloise smiled as the memories flashed back in her mind. “He was such a cute kid,” she recalled. “Even cuter than now.”“How’s that possible?” Vaughn asked. “He’s so cute right now.”“Well, he was. But he was also very sickly. Trips to the hospitals weren’t uncommon when he was younger.”Vaughn frowned. “Is he alright now?”“Yeah,” she nodded her head. “It was mostly during his time as a baby. He was born premature, partially my fault, so he was more sickly t

    It was another day, and Vaughn couldn’t wait to wake up. Actually, he hasn’t slept at all since Eloise gave him the approval as Ollie’s father. Eloise woke up and saw Vaughn pacing back and forth. “You look like a zombie,” she deadpanned. “Did you get even an ounce of sleep?”“Nope,” he responded, still pacing back and forth. “Are you nervous?” she asked. “Very,” he said. “I’m afraid that he wouldn’t like me.”Eloise shook her head. “He’s been pestering me about his dad for an entire week now. I think you’re safe.”“You think so?” he asked. Eloise nodded her head. “I know so. Let’s just wait for him to wake up.”Eloise prepared breakfast while Vaughn followed her like a lost puppy. “Do you have anything else to say to me?”“You don’t have any work today?” he asked. “Tomorrow,” she responded. “But Ollie’s going to be discharged tomorrow. I don’t know who’ll take care of that. Maybe I can ask for leave—”“You have me,” he cut her off. “You don’t have to worry. I’ll take care of i

    “Are you sure you’ve got it?” Eloise asked, unsure whether to leave Ollie in Vaughn's care. “Yes,” Vaughn said. “We’ll do some fun dad-and-son things.” “Please don’t have too much fun,” she warned. Vaughn chuckled. “We’ll be safe, don’t worry. Just do well on your shoot.” “Are you also sure that it’s okay for you to miss work like this?” “I’m the boss. What can they do? Fire me?” She narrowed his eyes at him. “Alright…I’ll be back after lunch. Prepare his discharge papers in the meantime. This is also the money to pay for his hospital fees. You can—“ Vaughn held onto Eloise’s hand and shook his head. “I’ll pay for this.” She shook her head. “I have money saved up for these kinds of events. Just take it.” He sighed, folded the envelope, and placed it back in her pocket. “Eloise. We’re co-parenting now. I hope you’d let me spoil you rotten—I mean, Ollie. I haven’t been there for the first four years of his life. Let me handle this.” Eventually, Eloise caved in. She’s not

    “Wait, director,” Eloise tried to plead. “Listen to me, please. My side of the story is—”“My decision is final, Eloise. I don’t tolerate homewreckers in this set. Pack up and go home.”As Director Hugo left, Alina went closer to Eloise and whispered in her ears. “I told you not to mess with me.”With that, she left Eloise all alone in the office. With only herself in the room, she felt tears brimming in her eyes. She couldn’t stay here any longer, so she quickly ran out of the office and out of the set. She ignored Katherine’s calls and ran to a place far away. She sat down on a bench and started sobbing. This has been her lifelong dream. She thought that moving away to a new city meant having a new life. But why are the people from her past haunting her up until this day? She covered her eyes and continued crying when she suddenly felt someone hold onto her wrist. She lifted her head and saw Vaughn looking down at her with a concerned look. “Vaughn?” she muttered. “What are yo

    “This isn’t a good idea,” Eloise said, holding onto Vaughn’s arm. “There are still opportunities to act in the industry. I don’t want to get between your relationship—““For the last time, Eloise. You aren’t ruining anything. It has already been ruined because she cheated on me. You’ve got to think for yourself this time. Is acting your dream?”“For a long time now,” she sighed. “Heck, I love acting so much that I memorized Zoe’s lines in this movie to better understand my character. God knows I’ve wanted this more than anyone.” “Then don’t give up on it. Especially if it's because of something you didn’t do.”“Can I stay in the car, please?” she softly asked.“Of course,” Vaughn said. “Wait here for me, okay?”Eloise nodded her head. She never imagined that the day would come when Vaughn would pick her over Alina.Vaughn left Eloise in the car while he trudged to the set. He felt their gazes and whispers as he walked but ignored them. He only had one objective in mind. They were cu

    “What did he say?” Eloise asked when Vaughn entered the car. “Everything’s settled,” he said. “How about Alina? How did she react?”“Let’s just say she’s going to get some bad news today,” he smiled.“Why are you so happy about that?” she asked.He shrugged his shoulders. “She deserves it.”Eloise sighed. “So, what will happen now? Did they reconsider my role?”“Even better,” he smirked. “I landed you the major role. You’re playing Zoe now.” “What?” she exclaimed, not believing his words. “How did that happen?”“You’ve practiced her lines, right?” he asked.Eloise nodded her head. “Then you’re perfect for Zoe’s role. There currently isn’t any understudy for her, so I suggested you. Director Hugo has always been impressed with your acting, and this is a good chance.”Eloise couldn’t help but smile. “I still don’t know why you’re doing this for me.”“I’m making up for all my mistakes. And you deserve it. You really do.”“And Alina?” she softly asked. “Did you break up with her?”Vau

    Thankfully, Alina hadn’t bothered Vaughn and Eloise since she threatened them in Vaughn’s office. Her reputation had hit rock bottom, too. A lot of people were glad that she had been removed from “Dreams Come True,” and it seemed like her career is well and over. However, despite the public’s happiness with her removal, they weren't pleased with the new casting too. This is Eloise’s first project, and although she has gained a few fanbases here and there, people are questioning how she got a lead role as an unknown actress. Today was their first shoot with Eloise as the lead character, and she was nervous about acting in the main part. “Eloise!” she heard Grayson call her name. She turned around and nervously smiled at him. “Hey.”“Hey, you!” he smiled, nudging her shoulder. “So, you’re my Zoe now, huh?”She nodded her head. “I guess it turned out that way,” she nervously chuckled. “I’m sorry if I mess up on some parts. I’ve gotten immersed with Bonnie, so it’s hard to get out of

As she took her first steps down the aisle, Vaughn couldn't tear his eyes away from her. She looked like an angel, a vision of beauty that took his breath away. At that moment, he was reminded of all the struggles they had gone through, all the obstacles they had overcome, and how far they had come to reach this point.

Despite the numerous controversies that surrounded it, “Dreams Come True” still managed to capture the curiosity of viewers. “Grayson, over here!” The paparazzi and cameramen scrambled to get interviews and pictures of the young actor. The girls waiting outside the red carpet screamed as they were grazed by his handsome presence. “Why are you all alone tonight?” One interviewer asked. Grayson smiled. “Don’t worry. My Zoe is coming here later.”That’s right. His “Zoe.”Grayson had tried inviting Eloise to the red carpet-event, but it seemed like she already had someone else in mind. At the end of the day, the only version of Eloise that would be his is Zoe. Because the real Eloise already belonged to Vaughn. It was hard to accept at first, especia

    “Xavi, let me go,” Cadence said, trying to tug her arm away.“Let’s talk,” Xavi said, locking themselves in a stock room and standing in front of the door.Cadence bit her lip in embarrassment.“There isn’t anything to talk about,” she muttered.“That’s not what I heard.”“I was just ranting to Eloise,” she said. “We should really go. Our break is almost over.”Xavi sighed and held onto Eloise’s shoulders, gently slamming her back on the door and caging her in his arms.Her eyes widened in surprise.Well, that was hot."Listen to me, please," Xavi begged. "I can't let this go on any further."Cadence slowly nodded. “I know this might sound stupid after I rejected you just yesterday, but I have realized that I like you,” he said.Her mouth went agape.So, it wasn’t just her imagination?“What do you mean?” she asked.He sighed and leaned even closer to her.

    The office was busting with the usual sounds of ringing phones, clacking keyboards, and business talks. In the highest office, near the large windows, Vaughn and Eloise shared an intimate moment, their eyes locked with affection as they leaned in. “Can we do this here?” Eloise asked. “I could literally see some of your workers walking past the office.”“It’s a one-way mirror,” Vaughn said, placing a gentle kiss on her lips. “We’re not going to get caught.” With that, Vaughn captured Eloise’s lips in a hot kiss, their tongues battling for dominance as they ventured into their new relationship. Eloise wanted to laugh since the two of them seemed like teens. It was like they had a newfound relationship, and everything just seemed to be exciting. The kiss lingered for a moment, their faces flushed with a mixture of excitement and lust. They stole glances at each other as they kissed, loving the way their lips felt against each other.

    “So, why did you call us out for a drink again?” Dylan asked, popping a chip in his mouth.“I think I know why,” Red said. “Did Cadence finally confess to you?”Xavi stopped mid-drink. “Did she tell you?”“Yeah,” Red chuckled. “She wanted to confess no matter what. Actually, the lunches we had for the past week were filled with conversations about you. You’re so oblivious.”“Fuck,” Xavi cursed. “Am I really that oblivious?”“Yes,” his two friends said in unison.“But how is this a problem anyway?” Dylan asked. “I thought you wanted to give every girl a chance until you find the right one.”“He still does,” Red responded. “But Cadence is his f-word.”“His fuckbuddy?” Dylan asked with wide eyes. “Damn, Xavi boy. I didn’t know you had it in you.”“No, idiot,” Red slapped the back of his head. “Cadence is his friend.”“Oof,” Dylan winced. “That’s even worse. So, you rejected her?”Xavi didn’t respond.“You did,” Red deadpanned. “I can’t believe it. Are you allergic to good women or someth

    The plan was all set. Cadence drove her car back to her apartment during the lunch break just so she could ask Xavi to drive her home. Fortunately, he agreed, and now all she had to do was confess her feelings. “I thought you came here with your car this morning,” Xavi said, opening the car door for her. “Uh, no. You must have seen wrong,” she bluffed. “I took the bus this morning.”“Oh,” he said. “Must be my imagination, then.”“Yeah,” she nervously chuckled. “Thanks for agreeing to take me home, by the way.”Xavi shook his head, walking over to the other side. “No worries. I can take you again tomorrow if you’d like.”Cadence smiled as she sat in the passenger seat. Her heart beat even faster in her chest. How the hell is he making her feel giddy even until now? Xavi got in the car, too, and he started driving to Cadence’s apartment. It was only a short drive from the office to her apartment, so Cadence had to act quickly. “How was your day?” Xavi asked. “I heard you went out to

    “We broke up,” Xavi calmly said, taking a sip from his coffee. Cadence almost choked after his revelation.“What?” she asked, some of the whipped cream from her frappuccino on her nose. She couldn’t believe what she just heard. Xavi chuckled and reached across the table to wipe her nose. Cadence felt another tug in her heart. For the past few days, she had been contemplating whether to forget about her feelings for Xavi, but it’s times like this that make it so difficult for her to move on. “We broke up,” Xavi repeated. “Trina and I.”“B–but why?” Cadence stammered. “I thought it was going well for the two of you.”“I thought so, too,” Xavi said. “But I saw her true colors. I visited her last night to surprise her, but I found another guy in her bed. I really thought she was the one, but I guess the right hasn’t arrived in my life yet.”Cadence pursed her lips together.
