Fame Building System Chapter 92
Mia didn't spend as much time as she would have loved in the shower because it was less than an hour to nine, their appointment time. She didn't also have the luxury of admiring her room. As soon as she was dressed, she opened her laptop to send Christopher a copy of the proposal document. It was then that she saw an email from James saying that he had an emergency and would like a reschedule of their meeting. What the hell? James must be kidding! He had an emergency. Really? Did he realize how much it cost her to be in Bali? They literally flew down to Bali yesterday to be able to make it in time for the meeting. She also had to stay up to finish some paperwork last night because of the meeting, despite her exhaustion. She didn't have a proper bath even when she needed it badly, and all of a sudden, he wouldn't be able to make it for the meeting because of an emergency? Alright, someone needed to talk about how much of an asshole James was, because why in the world would he do t

Mia spent exactly two hours in the bathroom and immediately prepared for a swim. It was a good thing she added a swimming trunk and some bikinis to the list of things she got at the supermarket. But for the impromptu nature of their trip, she wouldn't have bought the swimming trunk. Again, she had something else to thank Christopherfor. It had been years since she last had a swim, precisely five years. Aiden was the last person she went on a swim with. It was during one of their dates. Aiden. Her brows furrowed at the sudden realization that she hadn't thought of him in a while. Just as Tracy and her mom said, focusing on work was really working like magic. She was too preoccupied to even think of him or the misery he caused her, and much to her surprise, she wasn't just focusing on work, she was moving on. Speaking of Tracy, she hadn't spoken to her since she got to Bali. Her mom also. Neither of them knew she was here. She might as well give them a call now that she remembered.

“Welcome home, darling,” Mrs. Bella says as she welcomes Mia in. “Go in, take a shower, and come out and have a nicely cooked meal I made myself,” she said, smiling.“Thank you, grandma; I’ve been waiting for a long time for that.” She says this, smiling.“But before that, please let me introduce my family to you. This is Lucas, Emma, and my stepmother, and this is Mrs. Bella, my mother-in-law,” Mia says."Welcome, please come in and have a seat. I’ve always wanted to meet you,” she says, inviting them in."Richard, please take Mia to her room and help her get dressed up so we can all have dinner together and get to know one another.” Mrs. Bella says:.“Thank you for everything,” Mia says, hugging Mrs. Bella."Common, let’s go,” Christopher says as he leads her to the room. “You have to freshen up, take your drugs, and look beautiful for the dinner.” Richard continues.Mia smiles as they both walk to the room, without observing the fact that Emma has been looking at them disdainfully

“Where are we going? What of grandma? What do we do about her? Is there anywhere we can run to that he won’t find us?” Mia asks, looking desperate.“I don’t know, but I think I know what to do now that you mention it. I’ll confront him; it’s better to confront him than to keep running all my life. I know I didn’t do right by him, but I’m tired of being pestered and running for my life.” Christopher says,“What are you saying if he kills you? I still don’t get it. What exactly did you take away from him?” Mia asks,“Let me tell you the full story: five years ago, Jack and I were working on a project that involved five million dollars. It was supposed to be our breakthrough project that would bring the big money we’ve always been looking for. But we were short of funds to finance it, and we had to take drastic measures. There was this man, Mr. Roosevelt. He was the boss of a multimillionaire company that made billions in revenue. He had built up a stack of gold as a backup for his fina

She brought down his hand and collected the glass of wine from him, putting it back on the table.“How dare you speak to the heir in such a manner? Have you no respect?” “You could’ve been put behind bars if you you had spilled as little as a drop of that drink on his suit” Matilda said calmly with a very serious look on her face“By the way that suit you just called fake, is worth all the cars in your Father’s garage combined”“How da…Do not interfere!” Elizabeth was about to speak before she was aburptly interrupted by Matilda.Suddenly Richard burst out into an uncontrollably loud laughter as everyone else followed suit.He continued to laugh out loud for a while, holding his belly until the effect of Matilda’s words slowly died down.“Being the heir to the janitor's closet is certainly not a position you should be flaunting around in such vicinity” he said sarcastically.“And just who do you think you are to have spoken to me in that manner, do you know who I am?” Richard asked,

He let it ring the first time thinking that the caller might have made a mistake and would not resend the call.After a short while, it rang again and this time he picked it up furiously wondering who it might have been that was bent on disturbing his sleep that very early in the morning.As soon as he got a hold of his phone, he hissed and rolled his eyes upon realizing that it was just his alarm.A few days before Anna rescued him from being crippled by Richard’s bodyguards, his routine for the past few years had required him to wake up very early in the mornings for deliveries.He took up the mid-morning shift and the day shift at the delivery services due to the fact that he was desperate to make ends meet.He dismissed the alarm and sat up, realizing that he couldn't fall asleep anymore.“Man, this delivery job has really messed up my sleeping routine” He thought to himself as he scratched the back of his head, yawning with his mouth wide open.Now that he was fully awake and he

The entire place was arranged and decorated with ornamental flowers of different kinds, from the ceiling to the very floor of the hall. ...the types she liked.The exquisite place was a hall adorned with soft, twinkling fairy lights that draped from the ceiling, which was complemented by the glowing crystal chandeliers that hung down from the ceiling.The reflection of the lights on the floor was magnificent; it was quite obvious that the floors had been thoroughly sprayed and polished.Given how few the tables and chairs were, it almost looked like a dinner party for a very limited number of guests.On almost all sides of the hall were snack tables. The name of the hall was Masa, one of the biggest and most expensive luxury restaurants situated on that side of Midland City.He bought out the entire place for a special event that he wanted to host.He had planned out something grand for that day, and it was all for one person.Staring at the quality of his expenses and slowly nodding

Ana stared at Mia for a second, trying to process what her best friend had just said about the Maximus man...."You know saying such a thing without evidence against a man of such nature is very dangerous right?" She lowered her voice, trying to allow no one else here their conversation."Look, the rumours in this city are always true and if what they say about Maximus being a rapist is real, then I think I would be justified." Mia was about to say something, but a sudden uproar behind them had cut her shut.They both watched as a man engaged his partner in a heated argument, before eventually pouring a milkshake on his head. Mia felt pity for the innocent woman and even though Mia warned her not to move from her seat, she felt the urge to go console her.While taking a seat beside the woman, Mia was about to speak her first word, when she felt her phone buzz through her purse. She excused herself and pulled out the phone to see what was happening. It turned out to be a text message

Chapter 161 (Finale)
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
