20. "Andy?" Macy asked in a small voice that showed she feared what was coming. She didn't know where this was coming from or going and her heart told her that it won't be good. "I... I...," Andy began but he couldn't say anything else. "Just tell them Andy," Angela began. "What do you mean?" It was their father, Christopher Philips who asked this time while looking at his adoptive daughter. "Daddy, Macy slept with a random man when she got drunk that hight at the Gala and put it on Andy. Andy was just so nice that he didn't want to tell the truth but now he can't take it anymore," Angela said and everyone's eyes were how on Macy. "Andy? What's going on? What is Angela saying?" Macy asked with tears now in her eyes as she didn't even have an inkling of what Angela meant. "Oh, stop it! Stop pretending," Angela mocked and that made Macy's tears just fall heavily. "Andy?" Macy asked again and Andy looked at her. "I'm sorry Macy. That night after you got drunk you didn't go to ou
By the time Richard was done with watching all the video clips Asher had prepared, he was feeling like ending the Philips family. He couldn't understand how a family could hate their child so much. Weren't they happy finding their long lost daughter? "Give Diamond Studios ten million dollars as the final investment on the movie and there will only be one condition, cast Macy Philips in the part she wants. "Brother, are you sure?" Asher asked surprised. It wasn't that ten million was a lot for Richard but that he has never helped anyone else again. Richard was an ice block. He never cared about what others needed or wanted as long as it never involved him. All Richard did was donate to the philanthropic charities their family worked on and he did that anonymously. But this was an open war on the Philips. Why was Richard doing this? In one of the clips he watched, Macy and the rest of the crew who would be involved in the shooting of the movie Major Calamities were in the openin
22.It had been a week and Macy was back to work and Richard was just there smoothing things out for the Dragon Empire without much to do. His days were low key as he supervised his daughter's meals, her meds, which had reduced and he was happy that she was good, supervising her homeschooling, playing for her, going to the office for a few hours and then coming back home to play with her. He didn't want to inconvenience Macy by sending Melvin to her because he knew that she is busy getting ready for the upcoming shooting. May had managed to infiltrate the crew by pretending to be Macy's assistant. From the report he got from May, Angela was fuming. She wondered how and why Macy got an assistant. She, Angela, was the one allowed to assign one to her and since, according to Angela, Macy wasn't a star like her, she didn't need an assistant. Thus, Angela asked May to leave because she won't be paid and Macy said that she was there because she was Macy's friend and had decided to help
De La Paz wasn't like how Richard expected a capital city to look like. It was a run down town that didn't qualify to be called so. It looked like it had been a thriving town once but had been run down over time. It was like no one invested in real estate industry in this city for from this side of the town, there weren't any new buildings around. Ever heard a capital city devoid of at least one sky scraper? Yeah, that was De La Paz for you. 'Wow! This is the worst president even. Some countries should come and see this so as to appreciate what they have,' Richard thought as he walked around. He wondered how these people had survived this far. In a country with less than twenty million people in total, he expected better. No wonder the population was declining every year. People of Dela Lucia didn't want to give birth and now that he had seen it with his own eyes, he could tell why. From the report on this country that he read on his way here, he could tell that the youthful popul
"So, you are telling me Dog sent you?" President Antonio asked for the third time as he looked at the documents this Kano guy came with. If this was anything to go with, then he was even qualified than Dog was. But what Antonio didn't get was why Dog never talked about this... what did he say? "How did you say you are related to Dog again?" Antonio asked. "His mother, Maria De Santos, was my mother's cousin. My mother and her family migrated to Africa when my father got a job in Kenya. That's where I have grown up in," Kano said in a heavy African accent which was funny but cause he was so white. "But you look nothing African. In fact, if I am not mistaken, you look,... you look...," Antonio seemed to think trying to place the face. "Oh, sorry I forgot to tell you. I am half Latin and half Greece. My father was, is, Greece. I seem to have taken my father's face than my mother's. Also, going to school in Kenya gave me the African accent. And that's why I also speak Swahili," Kano
Meanwhile.... In a cafe in Washington, Macy was taking her morning coffee while she talked to May. Up until now, she didn't believe that she had an assistant who didn't ask for anything. May usually said that she was working for the experience. "Don't worry about money. I have enough to get me by. I just need the experience," she would always say. May not only cared as an assistant but also as a body guard. Since May joined her, life got easier. It had been a few days into the filming and Macy was yet to get to filming as they started with the main leads parts. "Today is the first day to start shooting. How do you feel?" May asked as they took their coffee and croissants."Truthfully May, I am nervous as hell. Not because of the cameras, no. I have been in front of enough though as a double stunt mainly, but this is my first major role. I really don't know how to feel. Also, I'm nervous because I don't know who the investor who asked for me is. Why did they ask for me specificall
The director returned after a few minutes and he was followed by four men. One looked like the boss and the tiger three like his body guards. "Everyone, please meet Mr Queen Gray. He is the investor who gave us twenty million for the movie," the director introduced and his brow was sweating. It was clear that he wasn't ready for the impromptu visit of the rich manMurmurs started going around the people who were there."Do you know him?" "No. I have never heard of him either.""Macy, do you know him?" Another actress seated next to Macy asked. "Never even heard of the name Queen Gray," Macy said. "Mr Director, may I see the script. Where are you shooting today?" The man, Mr Queen, asked and the director rushed to give him a script and a chair was provided for him. "Here. We are at scene ten of act one," the director said as he opened the script. "Okay, let's see what you all are doing," Mr Queen said as he made himself comfortable. The director briefed him about the movie in ge
What made Richard good at what he did were a lot of things. One, he worked alone. This meant that there were no chances of being betrayed by anyone like what happened last time when he was forced to work as a group. Working alone made him efficient and minimized risks. Two, he was the master of disguise. He could turn to anyone whenever the situation called for it. Then, he was never afraid of a challenge. He loved what he did and facing a challenge even if it was scaling mountains or walking for miles or going without food, he could take them all. That was what was happening right now. After he left State House, the first thing he did was ditch the disguise he was wearing as Kano and go to the hotel he was staying at and check out. After that, he dumped the vehicle he took because he knew driving a government vehicle would sell him out. After that, he entered a public toilet and he came out as an American who was there for tour. He wanted to go around Dela Lucia and see the famo
