Fame Building System Chapter 44
At home, Silver is sobbing hard in her bathroom."Oh goodness gracious, I believed Kelly would be my everything; how dare he allow those stinky rogues to lay their forbidden hands on me?" Arrrrrrrr” Silver lets out another big scream while replaying how the thugs mishandled her in batches of flashes through her head.In a very disgusted state, Silver tries to remove her scattered hair from her face. She turns to peer into the mirror to see the greatest shock of her life. She lets out another scream, and fresh tears start to pour again."I can't believe that Kelly is good for nothing, asshole; his immunity and power in the town are false; he cannot protect himself, let alone his girlfriend." I trusted him with my whole self, Silver said stupidly. Silver cannot bear the weight of shame that her boyfriend's carelessness has brought upon her. "How shameful; that was a disgrace!" Silver says, almost bursting into another scream."I must call Clara and tell her.Silver grunts amid sobs. The

"Silver ?""Yes, handsome?" Silver responds with a seductive voice, trying to be alluring with her smile as much as possible.Silver is dressed in a thigh-length, hot red mini-sleeveless gown, exposing her shapely, sumptuous legs and curves. A silver necklace hangs on her neck, and this draws attention to her models like collar bone and full blossom. Her long, black, lush hair partly covers her face, and she makes a feminine effort to dress it aside. She wears magenta lipstick, and the dangerously seductive fragrance of her perfume quickly hit Christopher's nostrils once she walked in. She walks slowly towards Christopher in six-inch shiny silver heels, in the most torturous way a woman could be. Each meander towards Christopher made his eyes dazzle. She's sexy; he cannot deny the fact.Even though Christopher is moved by his ex-girlfriend's sexiness, he is still firm in his discretion."What brings you here? Why do you barge into my room without knocking first?" Christopher questions

“You see, there's an upcoming mega proposal pitching event that had been in the government's plan for months ago now.The plan is to invite business-minded individuals to pitch their ideas and get endorsements from investors and other forms of funding. However,there are selected niches that will be qualified for funding and investment, and any participant that pitches an idea from unincluded industries will not be qualified.”"How did you know so much about the business proposal event, Dad?“Have you forgotten that the rich must look for sustainable ways to get richer, my son? You seem to really underrate my influence and capacity," Mr. Frank said in a bass voice, and his bold laugh sounded rather like croaking."I know so many powerful officials in government; don't forget. I would have even bought the plan and saved myself the stress of guessing what the winning industries would be this year, but the secretary to the office lamented that the present governor is a no-nonsense man who

"You?" Lawrence squealed, pointing a finger at Frank, after they had both submitted their confused proposals."What are you doing here?" A loud bass laugh escapes from Frank's throat."I'm here for just the same reason as you are, boy.” He said with his voice, even more thickened by disdain."What more can you do, Hun? I got my son back, but your men had injured him. That was not our agreement, and you broke the oath. You should steer clear of me and my son; otherwise, I will have to expose you and your dirty deeds to the world. I will tell the authorities how you were a human trafficker, with plausible proof. You are tall for nothing, coward!""How dare you call me a coward?” Then a ridiculous thought strikes Lawrence."But you know I have done better than a woman would have, scaring you out of your wits and dealing ruthlessly with your boy, yeah? A smile akin to venom mixed with ridicule hangs on Lawrence's face.Christopher walks into the premises, and Frank makes rubbish of Lawren

"Hello, young lady." Lorraine welcomes Stella, who is about her son Kelly's age. "How do you do?"."I am well, ma'am.".The two ladies quickly get acquainted with each other and cooperate to care for the ill Kelly.“Mr. Frank has employed me as his personal assistant since you traveled."."Oh, I see," Lorraine stated with confirmation of her ex-husband's dependent attitude in her mind."He can't do things by himself; he has to always call on another human being; even a crucial skill such as nourishing one's self is left in his case in the hands of someone else!" All these Lorraine said under her breath, keeping a serious facial expression, and loud enough for both her father and personal assistant to hear. Kelly and Frank can instantly decode Lorraine's communication, while Stella is left to wonder for minutes what the side comment was.Kelly is done clearing a plate of garnished chicken soup and leisurely eating an apple when Dr.Bernard returns into the room to give Kelly his last do

The business proposal pitch applicants had been staying glued to the news more than ever before. Lawrence's anxiety had doubled in amount. He had even called his father-in-law, Mira's father, and told him about the situation. Christopher, on the other hand, is calm, even though he is quite uncertain about the outcome of events to expect.While Mr. Frank told Kelly with what seemed like overconfidence that he would definitely emerge as the winner in the proposal pitching contest,."I'm seriously looking forward to you being among the selected applicants, dad." Kelly tells his dad with an air of strong hope."Don't worry,we have won it already.” The father and his son chat in their private car all the way home, while Lorraine listens in silence."I'll make you dinner," she finally breaks her own silence as she gets down along with Frank and Kelly from the car. Frank is up to his fruitless, silly pranks again, and unlike Kelly, who responds with a thank-you delivered with a tone of true a

Christopher ascends the stage,takes the microphone from the host, and clears his throat before he begins his speech."Ladies and gentlemen,this proposal has been prepared to tap into the renewable energy sector.We are a group of industry experts seeking to create a supplementary source of power to the national grid supply in Mexican states and beyond, extending to the global market.We want to start manufacturing solar panels in numbers, for the utility of citizens of our states especially inhabitants of the suburban developing areas, as well as for exportation to neighboring countries and worldwide, to drive the economy.The renewable energy sector in our country has a lot of untapped potentials and I and my team of industry experts are prepared to explore and leverage the renewable energy space for economic development.” At his mention of the term "team," Christopher's mind wonders back to the bidwriter and the chartered accountant, whom he had hired and met at the exquisite busines

The man—male—down the alley was Skull .After ten years, after all the executions and burnings, a Skull male was prowling toward her. Pure, solid Skull . There was no escaping him as he emerged from the shadows yards away. The vagrant in the alcove and the others along the alley fell so quiet Mia could again hear those bells ringing in the distant mountains.Tall, broad-shouldered, every inch of him seemingly corded with muscle, he was a male blooded with power. He paused in a dusty shaft of sunlight, his silver hair gleaming.As if his delicately pointed ears and slightly elongated canines weren’t enough to scare the living shit out of everyone in that alley, including the now-whimpering madwoman behind Mia , a wicked-looking tattoo was etched down the left side of his harsh face, the whorls of black ink stark against his sun-kissed skin.The Morse codes could easily have been decorative, but she still remembered enough of the Skull language to recognize them as words, even in such a

What she wants?Mia wasn’t naive. She knew very well that Christopher wouldn’t be able to get out of this mess without her. It seemed he had made the mistake of angering Arthur and at least, she was able to help him. Even if it meant giving up her own freedom.Why she was so nice to the same man who had abandoned her many times when she needed him but now she felt the urge to give herself up to help him… she didn’t know. But he was her brother and she felt somewhat responsible for him.“I… I want my brother safe,” she began to speak after a moment's pause. “I want him to leave alive. I want to see him leave alive and for your men to never go after him again.”“And in return, you’ll take my offer,” he mused. Mia nodded and the smirk on Arthur’s face widened.“That’s a deal,” he responded, his tone final. Mia felt a little bit of relief, even though her heart pounded in her chest.Then, his hand snaked up her arm and she gasped at how warm his palm was on her cool skin. Up her arm, to h

The next morning Mia and the Emissary set off to the King's palace. She had figured out a way to get back without any suspicion and while she had instructed the Emissary to help find Thorne, it was left to her to find a means to get to the location of the Shadow Star.Stepping into the boaders, where the gigantic palace had been built upon, all Mia needed to do was to act as though she had been hurt and with her skills in pretence, no one would question her.The moment she noticed the guards were coming close to her hideout, Mia stepped out, holding one part of her arm and hissing in pain. She looked up to see the guards coming towards her direction. The moment they laid eyes on her, one of them rushed over to help steady her body. Mia looked to see the others moving to her hideout to figure out how she had arrived. As they arrived at the entrance of the mansion, some of the soldiers also rushed over to help her and while they head into the luxurious living room, Mia over hears one o

Anna was taken out of the underground in silence to live in Christopher's mansion and resume the underground at night when she's well rested.Her room was beside Devon's room and well furnished, equally as his own, with luxurious closets large enough to open a boutique.Anna could not stop exclaiming and thought of exactly what was going on.It was the third day she was taking Christopher home after the night she passed out without seeing Christopher himself. She was left alone in the room, only to be taken care of by maids attending to her needs. She needs fresh air, at least, but at the same time, she is scared of breaking the rules.That morning, she had just showered up early and was creaming her body before Christopher walked into her half-nakedness.It was nothing to Christopher, as he has seen her that way several times, but the amusing part is the fact that Anna was covering her body and not throwing herself at him."Out of your clothes! Like right now, put it off." Christop

“How dare you?" Christopher roared like a lion as the champagne got emptied on his dress and flowed freely down his pants. Anna shook terribly, looking for napkins to clean Christopher's suits and shoes. She just emptied a glass of champagne."I'm terribly sorry! I wa---sss" Anna stuttered, trying to complete her words, when Christopher dragged her hair and pulled her up. "You are here to pay your brother's debt, but it's obvious you're not capable!. "Christopher said with a very intimidating voice, letting out goosebumps on Maria's neck."Please, I feel weak! '' Anna begged amidst her tears. She had never felt this way in her entire life, looking for means of survival.She felt her strength leaving her and let her body fall on Devon's hold.Everyone in the VIP room's eyes widened."This baby is indeed grounded!" One of them commented and signaled Christopher to take Anna's body away from him.Before they could move, Christopher gave them a shock. He carried Anna himself to his cl

Without doing extra training between the stacks, Mia found herself less exhausted when she left the library. Christopher had retrieved her from Windhaven after two and a half hours, and she’d already been so bored sitting in Rhys’s mother’s house that she’d nearly smiled to see him. But Christopher ’s face had been tight, his eyes cold and distant, and he’d barely spoken to her when Rhys had appeared. Rhys had barely spoken to her, either, but that was to be expected. It was better if they didn’t speak at all.Yet Christopher hadn’t said more than “I’ll see you later” before leaving again with Rhys after the High Lord had brought them back to the House of Wind, his face still tight and angry.With the extra energy buzzing through her that night, wondering incessantly why Christopher had been so upset, Mia didn’t feel like eating in her room and falling asleep. So she found herself in the doorway of the dining room.Christopher was lounging in his chair, a glass of wine in his hand, st

Hoping Virgil wouldn’t come shove him over the railing for disobeying her orders, he said, “All right. Throw the right hook.”Mia did so. And dropped her damn elbow.“Get back into position.” She did, and he asked, “May I?”Mia nodded, and kept perfectly still as he made minute adjustments to the angle of her arm. “Punch again. Slowly.”She heeded him, and his hand wrapped around her elbow as it began to dip. “See? Keep this up.” He maneuvered her arm back into starting position. “Don’t forget to flow the weight through your hips.” He took her arm, keeping a good foot of distance between their bodies, and moved it through the punch. “Like this.”“All right.” Mia reset herself, and he took a step away. Without his order, she did the punch again. Perfectly.Christopher whistled.“Do that with more force and you’ll shatter a male’s jaw,” he said with a crooked grin. “Give me a combination one-two, then four-five-three, then one-one-two.”Mia ’s brows bunched as she reset herself. Her fee

Five days later, Christopher sat before the desk of the library’s high priestess and watched her enchanted pen move. He’d met Virgil a few times over the centuries—found she had a dry, wicked sense of humor and a soothing presence. He’d made a point not to stare at her hands, or at the face he’d only seen once, when Mor had brought her in so long ago. It had been so battered and bloody it hadn’t looked like a face at all.He had no idea how it had healed beneath the hood. If Madja had been able to save it in a way she hadn’t been able to save Virgil ’s hands. He supposed it didn’t matter what she looked like, not when she had accomplished and built so much with Rhys and Mor within this library. A sanctuary for females who’d endured such unspeakable horrors that he was always happy to carry out justice on their behalf.His mother had needed a place like this. But Rhys had established it long after she’d left this world. He wondered if Azriel’s mother had ever considered coming here, or

Curled up in bed, a book propped on the thick down comforter, Mia was just getting to the sizzling first kiss in her latest novel when a knock thudded on her door.She slammed the book shut and sat up against the pillows. “Yes?”The handle turned, and there he was.Christopher still wore his leathers, the overlapping scales of them full of shadows that made him look like some great, writhing beast as he shut the door.He leaned against the carved oak, his wings rising high above his head like twin mountain peaks.“What?” She slid the book onto the nightstand, sitting up further. His eyes dipped to her sleeveless silk nightgown, then quickly returned to her face. “What?” she demanded again, angling her head. Her unbound hair slid over a shoulder, and she saw him mark that, too.His voice was rough as he said, “I’ve never seen you with your hair down.”She always wore it braided across her head or pinned up. She frowned at the locks that flowed to her waist, the gold amongst the brown g
