CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE

“The news will break out tomorrow.” Jonathan sat at the head of the table in the meeting room, surrounded by all the people he paid to keep his company out of the bad spotlight. A deep, exasperated sigh left his lips at the same time he started to massage his temples.  “What do you plan to do?” Jonathan questioned the woman seated opposite him.  She was the head of Public Relations. One of JT Entertainment’s major artists had been in an accident. The other driver had been at fault, but upon further investigation by the police, it was discovered that their artist had been driving under influence. Then he was arrested.  The company’s PR department had managed to keep

CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO

{Dear Lacey Thalmes, Your self-tape audition blew us out of the park. We’re pleased to inform you that you have passed the audition to train as an actor under JT Entertainment. You are expected to be at the company premises by 9 a.m on the 4th of October for orientation. We look forward to seeing you.Riley Jones,Recruiter, JT Entertainment.}It was a short email, quite easy to understand, still Lacey was having a hard time doing that. Her eyes ran through the content of the email two more times before she gave up trying to make sense of it. Add that to a list of the random things that had happened in her life recently. First of all, she hadn’t applied for any audition, so how could she have been accepted? Except…Scrambling out from under her bed covers, Lacey moved to unplug her phone from the charging port, then opened up her phone app. “Happy new month!” Adi’s cheery voice reached her ears immediately he picked up. That’s right, it was the first day of October. Still, Lacey c

CHAPTER TWENTY-THREE

“That pink dress washes you out; next.” “Oh, that’s not good at all.” “Seriously, Lace,” a long groan, “why is your closet so bland?” It was 10 p.m on a Friday night, and while most people were reveling in their weekend break after the hectic week, Lacey was forced to try on dress after dress after dress, desperately hoping that the current one would be the final one. But, alas, Adi kept on saying no to the dress, so much that Lacey regretted taking him up on his offer to come over to help her pick out a dress for the wedding.  Yup. Lacey had finally decided that she would attend the mysterious wedding. If not for anything else than to figure out who sent he

CHAPTER TWENTY-FOUR

“You’re Lacey, aren’t you? I can tell because of the eyes. Mark’s been waiting to meet you.” Mark, that was the groom’s name, Lacey recalled, but why the hell would he be waiting to meet her?   Seconds felt like hours as Lacey stared at the outstretched hand. Seeing that she wasn’t about to shake him, the smile on Adam’s face started to get smaller.  “No?” Lacey didn’t respond immediately. Now the four pairs of eyes that were looking at her had similar eager glints in their eyes. Apart from that, the youngest girl also wore a shy smile.  “I’m Lacey, bu

CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVE

 After driving for a couple minutes, Lacey parked her car by the roadside. Maybe it was because of the fresh air coming in through her windows, but the tears that had threatened to fall earlier were no were to be found.  A calm breath passed through Lacey’s lips as she rested her head on the headrest.  “I feel like I’m in a cheesy drama right now,” she muttered to herself, then let out a laugh that was part humorous and part disbelief.  What kind of person sends a wedding invite to a daughter they haven’t seen since she was born instead of calling her to ask if she would like to attend? If her father…Wai

CHAPTER TWENTY-SIX

“We hope you have a nice stay at Monsoon Resort, Mr. Taley.” Jonathan bopped his head in a polite gesture as he took the key and walked to the elevator. His current location was a remote resort on an island, where he had come for a two-week long nature retreat.  The retreat gave Jonathan an avenue to distance himself from work for a little while, but the main reason he was there was because he found out Jada Reign was going to be staying at the same resort to attend the same retreat. It provided Jonathan an opportunity to meet the director and leave a good impression on her.  The first event of the retreat was an orientation, which was happening tomorrow, so for the rest of today, Jonathan was going to remain indoors.

CHAPTER TWENTY-SEVEN

“That brings us to the end of today!” Lacey breathed out heavily, joining the other trainee actors in a round of cheers for the instructor who just made the announcement.  Three weeks had gone by so quickly at JT Entertainment, and Lacey was enjoying nearly every aspect of it. The classes were more technical than those she took back in college, but the challenge made it all the more fun.  Those were the good parts, meaning there were also the not-so-good parts. It was a tiny issue. One of the other trainee actors had found out that Lacey used to be married to Thomas Wright, and that person thought it necessary to share it to the whole class.  Lacey’s relationship with them had been c

CHAPTER TWENTY-EIGHT

“I think you’re more my type, Lacey.” Those weren’t the words that Jonathan had thought to say, but when it left his lips, he found that those were the words in his heart. In a way, it was aj outward confession to Lacey, but also to himself.  He couldn’t deny it any longer; he liked her. And now, he could freely admit that it played a big role as to why he had been so annoyed at her when he thought she was cheating on Steven. That then hadn’t only been about protecting his brother, Jonathan was ashamed to admit that.  “Also, I’m sorry.” “Sorry?” Jonathan turned sideways for a split second and saw perplexion all over Lacey’s ex

CHAPTER TWENTY-NINE

“You live in the Penthouse?” When Lacey took Jonathan up on his offer to go up to his place, she didn’t expect that he would lead her over to the private elevator. You know, the one that led up to the Penthouse.  A million people lived in their apartment building—obvious exaggeration but fifty floors meant that there were a lot of people going and coming—but Lacey had been vaguely aware that the place was owned by a hotshot politician. Honestly? She’d stopped by to listen to the receptionists’ gossip a few times.  When she mentioned that fact to Jonathan—not the gossip part, but the politician part—he simply nodded, agreeing with her.   &ldquo

CHAPTER THIRTY

It took about a couple seconds for Jonathan’s question to sink in. When it did, Lacey opened her mouth, then shut it. Actually, she didn’t know what to say.  She liked Jonathan, that much was clear, and he liked her back. But it wasn’t easy to make a decision easily when her last relationship had been with someone who ended up betraying her. So, to open up her heart to someone she didn’t know that well…That wasn’t easy.  Lacey was still thinking of an answer when her ringtone filled the space. Until then, Lacey hadn’t recalled that her ringtone being that loud, but maybe it was because of the open air space of the Penthouse, but the sound seemed to fill everywhere.  “...”
