“What nonsense." She muttered while breathing heavily. She was so mad at Avery and everything.She was mad at Prince for going ahead to spread such news because he was fortunate enough to get a job at the place.Lara had already concluded that it was no other person but Prince who must have spread the news.After a moment of silence, she let out a long sigh and fell on her bed. She was exhausted and just needed to sleep. Perhaps, she'd feel better by morning and find ways to tackle the problems in her life.Lara had managed to close her eyes when her phone began to ring again. This time, it was Kyle and he had received a call as well.Gradually, she reached for the phone and answered the call.“Hey babe. What's up with you? Why are you not sleeping yet? I was trying to catch some for myself when your call came in." Lara muttered sleepily.“Have you heard what's going on?" Kyle asked her and the tone of his voice forced her to stay awake.“What is going on, Kyle?” Lara quickly sat up,
His Influence Chapter 1
"Have you seen a guy this handsome? Look over there and see that beauty. That guy is the cutest I've ever met and he's got the body." Molly was lusting after Prince and biting her lower lip seductively. She patted Avery's hand who immediately agreed with her."Yeah, you're right. Even though he's just Lara's PA, I'm going to jump him. I don't care about his status because he sure looks like one who would give me the satisfaction I want. I can just pay him off afterwards." Avery was one to hit the nail on the head and never minces words. Being the one with more action, she made her move and went over to the place where the couple sat with Molly following behind. Pulling out a chair, Avery settled in it and placed her script by the side, her eyes fixated on Prince. The man, on the other hand, was uncomfortable with the gaze on him. Turning his face, he directed his gaze elsewhere. They were at a movie location and he was just doing his job as Lara's PA. Yeah, Lara was his wife and a bi
His Influence Chapter 2
Turning around, Prince's gaze met with a man who looked familiar. He was still puzzled as he could not make a thing out of what was happening. It's got to be a dream. Yeah, he was surely dreaming.With furrowed brows, Prince turned around to gaze at Lara. He suddenly started laughing to everyone's astonishment."It's a prank, is it not? There's no way that this is true. We are husband and wife so the baby should belong to us." Prince was still in doubt when Kyle walked over and held Lara by the waist. Angrily, he rushed over to attack the man but Lovelyn stood in his way."I dare you to lay a finger on him."Prince ignored his mother in-law and continued towards the man whose hands were still wrapped around his wife's waist. However, Lovelyn ran to his front and gave him a resounding slap. "What do you think you're going to do? You think I'd let you attack my worthy and prospective son in law."Stopping in his tracks, Prince lifted his hand and massaged his face that had turned red f
His Influence Chapter 3
Still in shock, Prince tilted his head and stared at the paper on his hands. He still could not believe his eyes. If it wasn't happening before him and to him, he would have thought that it was a movie. It was like one of those things he sees on the screens.He lifted his face and his gaze fell on the man who was going to take his place. Wait! He had already taken his place. As soon as he appended his signature on the paper, everything would be over. His eight month marriage would be gone. All the sacrifices he had made for Lara and his in-laws. Sometimes he wondered what it would have been if his father in law was alive. Would he have acted like the women and treated him like sh*t because he was a pauper?His mind wandered back at the time when he met Lara. She sounded like a lady of great virtues. One that kept refusing to sleep with producers just to get a movie role. Alas, not all that glitters is gold. Prince hit his forehead hard with his left hand as he paced around the place.
His Influence Chapter 4
Kyle took the opportunity to taunt him more. He stopped nursing his wounds and held Lara by the waist. Pulling her closer to his body, he planted a kiss at her lips. "Honey, we're going to have the media itching for more of the juicy news because our names would be on everyone's lips. You will be the envy of those colleagues of yours who have been chasing after me but could not get closer. They'll all watch me place the trophy in your hands. Hahaha.""Ofcourse, you're the best my dear Kyle and my daughter deserves the best. Not some dumb pauper who has wasted eight months of her life. I'm glad that it's over now." Lovelyn chipped in.Crystal had been without a word, she just sat at the couch watching all the drama. She suddenly stood up from her chair and walked towards the door. Opening it, she said. "It's the least I can do for my ex brother-in-law. Don't say I'm not being considerate because I just helped you open the door."They all began to laugh at Crystal's little drama.Princ
His Influence Chapter 5
Prince slid into the car, settling at the passenger's seat. Letting out a deep sigh, he lifted himself and checked out his face in the mirror. He had a black eye and his forehead was swollen. If it weren't for his shirt that shielded his bare body, he would have had more bruises. However, that didn't stop his body from aching him. Kyle had struck him a few blows at his stomach and chest. He'd admit that the guy was quite tough because the fight lingered on with no winner. If Lovelyn hadn't ended it by slapping him on the face, they would have fought for a long time until there was no energy left for them to continue.George stood outside for a while as he pondered on what Prince just said. 'What does he mean "my shattered heart". Did his wife cheat on him?' George kept thinking hard.He lifted his gaze and it fell on the women who were still stunned. The man that they were gossiping about was a rich dude. That didn't look like someone who was pretending. Clearly he has a luxury car a
His Influence Chapter 6
It was bustling around the New Haven hotel that afternoon as the media were seen everywhere. They had gotten a tip about certain celebrities that would be holding their engagement ceremony at the hotel that afternoon and had run to catch the real gist. Every news station wanted to carry it as no one would like to be left behind. This was something that would trend for a very long time. The best part was that it involved two big shot celebrities.Every other celebrity that was associated with the two would also be attending the ceremony. The media thought that it was crazy to have an engagement this loud. How would the wedding be then? They were there for the engagement ceremony but couldn't wait for the marriage. It was going to be another bang.The hall for the occasion had been set and beautifully adorned with the guests already waiting for the celebrants and family. With the journalists hovering around the place, they would always rush towards any car that pulled over.Soon, a lux

Lara screamed but the music playing at the party would not let the people hear her. She took a quick glance at the ladies who were perplexed by her outburst. Running out on her colleagues, Lara rushed towards the place where every face was smiling except for hers. Some hours ago, she was over the moon but a phone call had just changed that mood.Searching among the crowd of jubilating people, Lara could not find Kyle. She scanned through the whole place but there was no sign of him. Lara was confused. She had no idea what was happening. Apart from Molly and Avery who saw her receive the distress call, no one else smelled any rat. Even the media didn't see any suspicious movement. They also had no idea when Kyle left the place.As she was searching for her fiance, many of her colleagues met her and congratulated her. She only managed to fake a smile and nodded at them.Kyle's parents didn't come to the engagement ceremony, they had other duties to attend to but promised to be there a

The place went completely silent for a while.After some time, Lovelyn turned to her younger daughter and they exchanged glances.They still could not comprehend what Lara was trying to say to them.“I don't quite understand what you're saying. Please explain better." Lovelyn said to Lara, her eyes fixed on Lara in a serious gaze.“Mom, if we don't do anything about the situation, we might find our career dead soon and everyone will forget us." “That's what it means." Lovelyn’s mouth opened and she lifted her hands, putting them on her head. She knew exactly what that meant. It means that the money would stop coming.If Lara no longer gets movie roles, she'd be completely irrelevant. There would be no more and wealth in flow.She won't be able to afford the luxurious lifestyle that she was already used to.Lovelyn only owns a boutique and the boutique won't be able to fund her lifestyle. Especially if Lara no longer gives her money to add to the business.If they have to depend com

Lara got down from the car and Kyle pulled her into his arms in a tight hug.“I'm sorry honey.” He apologized as he reached for her forehead and planted a kiss on it."I didn't mean to hurt you with my words. I just overreacted and I promise it won't happen again.”"Are you sure?” Lara stared into his eyes, waiting for a response.“I'm sure." Kyle nodded his head and forced out a smile. “We'll go through this together and see the end of it." “I believe that if we work together, we'll be able to sort things out. And in the end, things will go back to the way they were." “Ok, we'll work together and deal with the issue." Lara was anxious and so was Kyle. They didn't know who their enemy was so it was going to be difficult to tackle the situation.The have to know the source of their problems before they can deal with it. But for now, they have no idea who was pulling them down.“And about our wedding. I totally understand that we should tackle the matter at hand before planning our w

By the time Lara and Kyle came out of his Manager's office, they were completely exhausted and it was almost dusk. All the bad news they'd received that day was already weighing them down.Just like the previous day, it had been bad news and more bad news.Many other producers were no longer willing to work with them. Just like Royal productions, they would no longer be working with them.Everything was happening so fast and they could not comprehend it.If someone was after their careers, then that person must be very powerful.As they got into Kyle's car, they both sat in it totally lost in their thoughts.After a moment of silence, Kyle started the car and began to drive to Midday avenue, Lara's home.“What are we going to do about the situation?" Lara interrupted his train of thoughts. Kyle let out a deep sigh and quickly glanced at her with a long face. “I don't know. We just have to keep trying or we'll soon be forgotten celebrities and our careers, dead." Kyle's voice was co

“And you should know something. If you continue like this, you'll find yourself without a job one day. And you might not be able to get another anywhere else.”"Just be careful how you treat people, especially those who have done nothing wrong to you.” Prince concluded. He glared at Steve for a while before walking away.While Prince made his way to the diner hall, Steve remained motionless at a spot.He could not move an inch and kept pondering on Prince's words.He even had to ask himself why he hated Prince. At the end, he got the answer to his own question.There was no reason for the hatred towards him . It's just that Prince was liked by people. Unfortunately, no one notices him at all.After a long pause, Steve rolled his eyes and muttered to himself. “Whatever. You're in no position to render me jobless.”With that thought in mind, he walked away from the lobby and went back to work.Prince got to the dining hall and his eyes caught the strange man stealing glances at him in a
Chapter 28
George pulled over a little distance away from the restaurant and turned to Prince.“It won't be too suspicious if we stop before the restaurant. You won't want your former colleagues to give you a suspicious look.”"Especially when they see you alight from such a car.”George's car was a luxurious one and if Prince's former colleagues saw him in it, they'd raise eyebrows at him and ask questions.He was not ready to answer anybody's question.“Alright, drop me off here and I'll walk the remaining distance." George pulled over by the side of the road and Prince alighted. “See you later." As he zoomed off, Prince started towards the direction of the restaurant and the strange man's car continued to follow him.He got into the restaurant and was greeted by some of his colleagues and they were happy to see him, except for one person.It was his rival during the time he was working at the place as a waiter.Steve never liked Prince because he was regarded as the best staff.A lot of cus

The call finally went through and Mr. Patrick answered from the other end of the line.“Hello, Sir. I'm sorry for taking time to answer your call. I was so busy and…”"It's ok.” Prince did not allow him to finish. He already knows how busy the man can be."I just wanted to find out about something.”Prince turned to the direction where the strange man sat but he pretended to be doing something else, pausing the video he was making.Prince turned back to George, completely oblivious of whatever was going on.George, on the other hand, was busy on his phone and didn't notice anything.None of them suspected anything wrong.“What do you want to find out about?" Mr. Patrick inquired."It's about my brother. When was the last time you sent some money to him?”Mr. Patrick remained silent and quickly checked his account book."It's just a few days ago. The day you called me and asked that I send some money to him. Even though he was not due to receive his allowances.” Patrick replied to him.

Prince just stood at a spot and started laughing.“A thief and a fool." He muttered to himself after he stopped laughing.His action got the girls more confused and they wondered what was going on.Why would the taxi driver ditch Prince just like that?Avery stepped forward and inquired. “I hope you haven't paid him already? And if you want, we can drop you off wherever you're going." Avery's offer of help was an excuse to find out where Prince was going. “No, thank you." Prince replied to her. He gave each of them an intense glare for the last time and warned.“Don't you dare follow me again or there will be consequences." With that, he walked out on them and boarded the next taxi he saw.When Prince met up with his friend, George, the latter gave him a confused look before inquiring.“What took you so long? Do you know that I've been waiting for you for more than thirty minutes." "I was being followed by some nosy girls so I had to ditch them before coming here.” Prince replied
Chapter 25
Prince did not speak further and decided to swallow the threats he was about to make.There was no point threatening the girls as they'd hear from him if they run their mouths and speak out of turn.Avery and Molly stared back at him in silence with their mouths open.After that, Prince turned around and began to walk away.“Something happened between them. If not, he won't be so defensive.” Avery muttered as soon as Prince was out of sight.“Yeah, that's right. We have to find out what happened between them. There's also something going on between Lara and Kyle and we should find that out as well.” Molly added and they both looked at themselves and nodded.“And when we get any interesting information, we can just sell it to the media." The girls were not sure how to get the information about Lara and Kyle so they decided to follow Prince.They believed that Prince knew something and they intended to find out what he knew.Prince, who had walked away from them, boarded a taxi and was
