CHAPTER 41

The atmosphere was tense as the barking of a man filled the air." Why did you go near my things?! Did I not warn you to stay away from this room?!"The little voice of a scared woman followed. " I'm s-so sorry, I just wanted to h-help wash t-them."" Wash?! For what? You suddenly want to play the role of the maid, right? So be it! You'll be assigned some domestic duties around the house. After all, you need to earn your keep for living here." The man said in a cynical tone." N-no that's n-not it. I'm your wife, Hughes. It's my duty to c-care for your needs."In response to that, a huge breathy laughter ensued. " W-wife? " He laughed again, this time around, much longer. " Don't joke around, woman. You lost that right the moment you choose to frolic with my brother." He said Icily. " If you want to be a wife, you can head over to him like you've always done. Leave my stuff alone!" He bellowed, grabbed the shirt in her hand and stormed out of the room.The woman, visibly hurt, headed

CHAPTER 42

Deloise headed back to Royal Arts with a dark cloud over her head. She was unusually quiet and her colleagues felt an odd aura around her.Some people interpreted it as pride resulting from her successful filming and snuck disdainful looks at her while others couldn't be bothered to care. Deloise was part of the crew who couldn't be botheredAs the van drove out of the area, her mind returned to the moment she felt the soft lips of Aaron covering hers in a dominating kiss. No matter how many times she replayed the scene in her head, she managed to feel a flutter in her navel which gave her sensations she was apprehensive to figure out.The interesting thing was that every single time, she would replay the events after the kiss and she would feel tears threatening to break out of her eyes. After countlessly going through the unending ritual, one thing was clear to Deloise.She was not okay.She wanted to scream, claw, and wreak havoc on everything around her. She needed to let out the

CHAPTER 43

“ I’m sorry.” Deloise couldn’t make out what he meant by that. Something told her it was just another attempt at making a joke of her but the words in itself kept her rooted in spot.“ Listen, you don’t need to leave. I understand you can’t stand me right now so I’ll do you a favour and leave.” Aaron added solemnly, getting up.Surprised, Deloise took a sharp turn, loss for words, and gauged the genuineness of the scene playing out before her. She wasn’t sure how to approach the unsolicited apology dished out to her.Wearing his heart on a sleeve, Aaron got up, tired of the back and forth between them and awakened to reality. Things were way too broken to be fixed by a mere apology- no matter how sincere.“ No! There’s enough room for us both.” She spoke hurriedly when he made to leave, only noticing how needy she sounded after it was out. “ That is, if you are up for that.” She rectified, avoiding the intensity that was his eyes.Meanwhile, Aaron was stunned. He couldn't help a ghos

CHAPTER 44

Esther was in her living room, late in the cool evening, and leisurely watching a program with the lights dimmed. Ever since Karen travelled, she found herself having more nights where she lounged alone, chasing some level of entertainment before she bowed out of the fight in retirement to bed.This night was no different, she relaxed into her chair, at the brink of letting go but was jolted by three successive bangs from the front door. Her eyes flickered to the time, not expecting anyone. She warily stared at the door, wondering what and who was behind it.“ I know you are in there! Open up!” A loud, angry and unfamiliar voice came from the door.Esther felt chilled to the bones. Was she being robbed? She scanned the room for the nearest weapon she could utilize- which ended up being an old flower vase she doubted could inflict a reasonable amount of pain.The door frame rattled at the amount of force exerted on the bangs that followed, her heart fell into the abyss that was her gut

CHAPTER 45

The words were out before he could stop them, “ I’m sorry to be a bother, I’ll be on my way if that’s what you need.”Esther couldn’t speak, with one sentence, Daniel rendered her speechless. Taking note of what her silence implied, He picked up the glass and in one shot gulped down its contents. He felt his throat constrict in pain but it was nothing compared to the pain he felt in his chest. He never believed a time would come when he’d be considered a nuisance to the one he cherished for the major parts of his life. No matter how stubborn and determined he was to get things back the way they used to be, there was only so much he could do at a time.With that, he stood up, so quick that he wobbled a bit, “ Thank you.” He said, after seconds of contemplating his parting words.“ You can stay the night!” Esther piqued, her tone desperate. “ I mean, it’s already night, and you aren’t quite sober.” She excused, and felt the room suddenly grow hotter.“ You don’t need to do that, I’ll

Esther watched Daniel reach over for a spoon, dip it into the batter, then into his mouth. She felt stupefied as he made an open show of how thoroughly he enjoyed licking the batter, forbidden thoughts flashed into her mind-frame.“ oomph..” He groaned and she just might have gone nuts. “ Still my favourite, so fucking perfect.” He cooed, staring her dead in the eye.Was he still talking about the cake? Scratch that, the batter. She blinked and watched him take a couple spoonfuls- THE BATTER!Esther’s eyes widened and she smacked his hands away mid way into the bowl, “Get your filthy hands off my cake!”Daniel stopped for a second, wore a mock-thinking pose, looked her over, then said, “ No.”He took up the bowl from her unsuspecting figure and in one second, took another large spoon of the sweet batter.“ Hey! Drop that!” She yelled, getting offended.“ You know the drill. Come get it.” He responded with a grin.Esther let out an exasperated huff. “ We’re too old for this. Give it ba

CHAPTER 47

Deloise walked into the restaurant wearing a beautiful smile. Her smile grew when she spotted Doris, who didn't miss a beat to point out her tardiness." Look at that, I was kept waiting by a newbie in the business, maybe this is a sign." She stated, matching Deloise' smile. " Take a seat, sweetheart."" I apologize for my lateness." She sat down, " I was supposed to spend five minutes with my lines and somehow, five minutes turned into ten. I promise this isn't a habit." " Oh don't worry, I know how submerging the job can be. Believe me, it took everything to stop acting but I still can't get over reading and interpreting a good script." She buzzed, " If it makes you feel any better, I just got here myself."" You used to act?" Deloise eyes turned the size of saucers, " What happened? Why did you stop?" Doris smiled at her curiosity, " That's a story for another day. Today is all about you," she brought out an envelope and pushed it across the table, " have a look." " What's this

CHAPTER 48

After a night at the club, Anna stood by the sidewalk, waiting for a cab back to the hotel. Her satin-thigh-split dress left little to the imagination on a Monday morning. Somehow, despite how blurred her night was, she managed to get out of the club house intact. Unlike people who lost their belongings while in a haze, she got lucky.Grumbling about the chilly weather, she spotted her hotel across the road and mindlessly dashed towards it. Unknown to her, the lights turned red. A black SUV screeched to a stop in front of her. Before the assailant could step out, her sight was spotted and she fell unconscious. In that state, Anna got bundled into the car, headed to the nearest hospital. She felt herself in motion after a few minutes and immediately sat up, eyes aghast. " Who are you? Let me go!" " Sit tight. We're going to the hospital. Do you have a contact? Maybe your mother?" Her abductor said, and she couldn't help but notice his tightened grip.Suddenly, everything returned t

CHAPTER 49

“ What’s wrong?” Aaron asked as soon as they finished their lines. She met his gaze across the table, “ What do you mean?” “ You know what I mean.” His eyes narrowed, “ What’s got you bothered?”Deloise let out a humorless laugh, “ Didn’t know you cared.” “ Stop avoiding the question. You’ve been absent minded- much more than usual. If we are going to get things done, we need to fix whatever’s got you in a mood.” Deloise wasn’t having a solid day, more so with Aaron’s intent to get her speaking. “ What? Looking for another flaw to use against me?” She chuckled but Aaron maintained a plain face. He didn’t find her funny. “ Just a bit tired, okay?” She said, ready to leave the school diner.“ Let's play a game.” Aaron leaned into his chair, “ Tell me what’s up and I get to tell you anything you want. No secrets, No lies.” That caught her attention. Deloise gauged him with an inquisitive look, “ Why?” “ Let’s just say I’m a bit too curious.” Aaron placed his elbows on the diner

CHAPTER 50

“ Congratulations! Welcome to Evolve.” Doris chorused with a clasped hand. “ I knew you wouldn’t disappoint.” Deloise heaved a sigh of relief. It was finally done. She was finally on her way to becoming something decent. She could sense it. “ Thank you very much. I appreciate your trust and this opportunity.” “ No, thank you.” Doris insisted, “ I’ll communicate the details to you at a later time. I’m guessing you have a shoot this morning?”“ Yes.”“ Great. I’ll catch up with you later. I need to process your contract.” She informed, “ Welcome once again. I promise you won’t regret it.” Doris spoke enthusiastically, waving as she left the dinner.Deloise had a residual smile on her face. She felt excited, the same way she felt when she first landed in New York. One thing was apparent, it felt good to feel wanted, to achieve set goals, to live the life she’s always dreamed of, to see it slowly but surely being manifested. It didn’t take long before she got to the set. Today, she h
