Wife of the Next CEO CHAPTER 82
"Good job, actors... everyone of you."As the ending scene sealed with a passionate yet short kiss between the lead actors, we started making arrangements, taking pictures... and now, Director Manuel started his soul-stirring statement."I entrusted Emily with the casting of this movie... that I can say that this movie is one that I will never forget. In the past movie projects and series I directed, Mending Alicia would seriously be one of the most unforgettable for me.""First of all, we were in a rush to finish it. We were all stressed from the few nights we had to stay up just to catch up with the January listing. But the best part of it is that... even though we rushed that it's over, while watching the scenes, it's a rush but I'm satisfied.""Because you know what? Producing a good movie doesn't always mean to have plenty of time filming it, or to have the privilege of being guided by an award-winning director of all time, or to have the best scriptwriter for almost ten years.

"Honestly speaking, if we hadn't been lacking for time filming it, supposedly "Mending Alicia" is the newest Maple View original series this coming January. That's why we didn't have enough time for taping, and a unanimous decision has been made to just make this a movie, which will still be aired on the same streaming platform.”When I opened my eyes as if I had come out of a long sleep, a flat screen TV appeared before me. And Director Manuel's voice made my sleeping soul wake up."The reason why we really need to finish the taping in order to catch up with the January listing, it's because the lead actress of the movie, Corrine Desiderio, had a busy schedule entering the New Year. People will be waiting for him to star in a teleserye that we can watch together on television this coming April or May.”"Literally a busy schedule for me," I whispered.Even though my vision was blurry because I was just squinting, I inspected the surroundings where I got up, and the place is all white.

ELIAS"I still can't believe she'll do such a thing." Standing beside me was Corrine's face, who couldn't stop herself from whimpering as she stared at a long, white coffin where Stacy's lying down. "Then you know it hurts?"I noticed that she was crying all the time, still she's trying to hide it by looking up at the sky. It's the day to take Stacy to her final destination. Corrine's family also decided to bury Stacy right away."On the very last day of our taping, I wished that night would be the last day I would see her face. As if she heard that... she made it true. My together , Eli."The one thing I know I can offer him right now is my warm hug. I first moved her away from Stacy's corpse as if I'm hoping she could calm down if she's no longer seeing the remains of her long lost sister."She did what she thought was best for you, Corrine." While caressing her back, her whimpers continue. "He's aware of how much you hate him since day one you two met, and from the day you implante

In the midst of darkness, someone hooked me out of that shitty place. During the times when I thought the world had abandoned me, I can't imagine I could find solace in his company... not until a horrible episode happens.I couldn't fully imagine that the joy I felt was short-lived. After he brought me out of sadness, he buried me back to hell.He's the only person who pushes me to pursue my dream... he taught me that I'm a worthy person and that I also have the freedom to fulfill my objectives in life.I reached my dream... It's just sad because the moment I finally obtain my victory… he’s gone."Are you even serious? I can participate in the taping even though I haven't experienced being a wedding coordinator! So, what's the use of me working for 1 month just for that?""You're the actress here, Corrine. You should be knowledgeable enough about the role you will play. The thing here is that… this is also for the sake of making the series outstanding. It's a big advantage for you if y

In the midst of walking down the road, I passed a seminar in the capitol. The audience is high school students and the topic is career guidance. Probably for Grade 10 students entering K-12.I suddenly missed the time when I was still in high school, when Mom and Dad were still with me. I've promised them that after ten or fifteen years, they will see me both on TV.I'm dreaming of being a celebrity back then.But things like that couldn't be able to happen. Far from the reality of my dream coming true... 'cause I'm meant to sustain that witches' needs. Maybe Aunt Gretchen was right when she told me that dreaming is only for the poor. She said that we are not poor, so I don't need to dream anymore.My father is working abroad, doing hard work there just to make our life stable here in the Philippines. But instead of being happy, I'm not happy because like my father, I'm also suffering at the hands of his future wife.I am tiring myself to work at home and work the sidelines at a fast f

He hit me with that counterattack. Of course, right? What fool would say that she is satisfied with her life when she is so wrapped up in sadness?"Whether or not you are satisfied with your life, you can dream because that is one thing that will give you the motivation to live... and the joy when it comes true.""Dreaming is free, so don't be mean to yourself. Live for yourself, not for others. You were not born to serve them, because you lived in the world to find something that will make you happy before you even die. Human life is short, are you going to waste your life just to serve others?""It's not bad to have a goal for yourself... because I believe the real joy is when you achieve your goal."After saying that, he left. Instead of feeling sorry for myself in my current situation, I feel more sorry for the person inside that gigantic mascot. He will waste a lot of sweat just for his goal of making people happy.But seriously, I owe that person a gratitude. Somehow I was encour

When I finally got inside my room, I was about to go to the bathroom to take a shower when I noticed something... those posters I collected from different entertainments that I was supposed to be auditioning for, why are they torn?I picked them up one by one, banging on Aunt Gretchen's room. "Who tore these?!"Stacy raised her hands. "Me."I was about to attack her with great anger when Aunt Gretchen blocked me from doing so. "Have you forgotten what I told you earlier?"I looked at her. "Who the hell are you for me to follow you? You're not even my mother, so you have no right to rule my life!”I received another slap from her. "You have no manners, stupid! Have my hands no longer giving you pain, so now you are being brave?!”"You ruined my dream," I murmured. "Your daughter ruined my dream, do you know that?! They are very important to me because listed here are the contact numbers and addresses of the talent agents I am aiming to look for... but now that they are in disrepair, how

"My instinct is functioning really well and great. I really knew I would find you here.” A man came, I felt him sit next to me. "Have you come from Miss Fiona's?"I nodded. "You?""I just got back too. Where were you deployed?"“Amana Beach and Resort.”“Same!” He grabbed my arm. "Irene, we share the same place. I’m going to fetch you everyday at your house, so you won’t be late. How’s that sound?”I just laughed at him before shaking my head. "It's a hassle for you to pass by our house. Your journey will take too long. I can handle myself, I'll just limit reading online books, so I don't stay up late anymore.""Are you sure you don't want to come with me? Even going home?”I shook my head. “Not anymore, Harold. I can handle myself. I'm sure I'm used to going home alone…”And it looks like I'm about to get used to living alone as well."It's up to you," he said. "But you know, I'm excited for next week. My excitement doubled because you are the one who will be there with me," he added

"Are you crazy?" At the height of my tears, I managed to speak. "No... That's not true. Because... maybe you remember me now, that's why you're saying that? You're still the Joker..."I slapped his arm lightly, but it didn't even move his stiff body that stood in front of me. "Don't trip me up... It's not funny-""Irene, I'm sorry," cried Israel as he vainly tried to stop the tears from flowing down his cheeks. "Forgive me if I kept you waiting for a long time when you believed I was still alive. Forgive me because I made you believe I didn't survive the accident... and now... I ask for your forgiveness again for lying to you... again... to be the person who no longer recognizes anything from the past."Just this once, I want this scene to be converted as one of the nightmares I had every night. I can't accept that this incident is real... because the pain we both now experiencing could be hard for us to endure. And I can't even imagine how Israel could ever handle the pain watching m

"Does it look good to me, Corrine?" And Stacy happily shoved the cartier watch that was from me... Eli gave it to the witch."No," I replied sparingly. "Because that's more suitable for a man..." That's why I chose that design... that's because I'm going to give the watch to a man. And seeing it worn by Stacy makes her look like a clown.The anger I had recently, disappeared like a bubble because of the mixture of Stacy's face with what I threw at her teasing. At least, I recovered somehow."Maybe it just depends if the person who gave it to you thinks it's a man," I added.I didn't waste my time to fight with Stacy as I immediately left the dressing room afterwards. My service van is also waiting outside to take it to the SGN Music studio—of course for the rehearsing part of the song that we'll gonna sing on our upcoming TV guesting.The reason why we are going to the SGN studio is because Eli is there, busy with his concert and also rehearsing other songs. It would also be nice to v

"To kill the issue that is spreading about my break-up with Eli, everything is just a rumor," my opening statement as I was keeping my eyes looking strong in front of the camera. "We have no idea who's the person behind leaking this fake news throughout social media.""As we are facing the cameras right now to leave a statement, we are pleased to clarify everything that Eli and I are still in a relationship." At least I'd still call Eli as my boyfriend even only in front of hundreds of cameras and thousands of our fans."I just want to add to what Corrine said, I can assure both of our fandoms that there were no collisions that would ever happen between us. Remember our promise to all of you?"I looked confused at Eli for saying those words that were not in the script. I mean... it's not in the conversation that he needs to say publicly giving assurance to the fans that there will be no break-up between us. He is moving away from the goal we should now."That... I am forever bound wit

"Corrine!""Corrine, wait!"I stopped walking when Eli hugged me from the back. His hands wrapped tightly around my waist, as if he didn't want to let me go."Let's fix it. Let's talk, hmm? If you're not ready to get married, I'm ready to wait." He made his voice sound strong in between his sobs.But, I shouldn't be carried away. I shouldn't be fragile by hearing his words and by listening to his nonstop pleas.I forcefully removed his hand that was clinging to my body, and as I make sure that I can face him without tears flooding my cheeks, I faced him. "Eli, please... don't think that I'm breaking up with you because you surprised me with your proposal."Because in fact, I've been waiting for you to kneel before me and ask me to marry you."It's not like that. My intention for breaking up with you is because..." I couldn't think of anything to reason out."If not, then why?"He was trying to catch my beautiful eyes on him, but I couldn't even look at him in the eye. Because if I do

My jaw dropped. "Y-You're threatening his life again? Is this a piece of a joke, Stacy?"I'm starting to feel my teardrops falling now, add to it the itching of my mouth with what Stacy said.I'm hoping she's fvcking kidding me!"Do you think I have extra time to mock you, Irene? I'm serious, okay?" She pursed her lips as if she was trying to kill me in annoyance. "I will really kill him if you don't break up with him.""N-No." Desperately, I immediately knelt before Stacy even though it was against my heart. "Please... not him. I can't break up with Eli. Don't kill him-""I thought that if you broke up with Eli, our lives would be better." Pointing her eyes at me, she smiled sheepishly. "You'll do me a favor, and eventually I'll return it to you.""Just think about it, Irene... if you divorce Eli, I won't hesitate to kill him anymore. You won't have to worry that someone will try to kill him on the very day of his concert. Your mind will be free to not that he remembers the moment yo
Wife of the Next CEO CHAPTER 76
Instead of arguing with Stacy and choosing to make the trouble worse, I remained my mouth shut instead. The shooting place is not the right place for me to let go of Stacy and for me to exercise my immaturity.For sure, Director's temper will only increase if there is a fight on the set. Our working hours may be more than 24 hours today if by chance.Director let us rest after shooting that imperfect scene, that eventually will be retaken after the short break. I must have missed Eli too much that's why I have mentioned his name during the taping.But the crying scene was still a broken puzzle to me. What were those tears for?"I'm the one you're looking for, Irene," I heard someone say… and it was Stacy. "Yes, definitely. I am the owner of the fan account and the one behind the death threats that Eli receives." And she was saying those words the whole time, smiling."Should I be surprised?""You should've been startled now. That's what I'm expecting." She laughed before going near me
