Jake stood on the soft sand of the Silver Planet island with a cold breeze fanning him as his brown eyes searched around for Sonya. He rushed to the suite with concern etched on his face only to find his friend sitting on the couch with a gamepad in his hand. “Did you see her? We're supposed to meet today for our anniversary.” “You can just call her.” his friend said his attention towards the screen while tapping on the pad in his hands “Did she forget?” Jake whispered to himself trying to shake off the creeping doubt. With a heavy heart, he dialled her number, his fingers trembling with every press. He pulled out his shirt as he was met with a sweaty body after the silence on the other end. He walked dejectedly into their small room. They were on friend vacation and Jake shared the same room with his friend but not today. He wanted to check if she was in the room and if she had intentionally left his call ringing. He entered the room without struggling, he walked around the room eased by the privilege to explore his wife's room filled with her flowery scent. He wandered along her silky silver dress on the counter arranged with the shoes, he smiled as his heart pounded in his chest with beautiful illusions of his wife looking for their dinner. “She got a nice dress for our anniversary, Sonya won't stop surprising me.” he whispered to himself. While drinking the sight of the silver dress his eyes stumbled to an envelope on the table beside the bed, the envelope was so attractive with the flowery embodiment on it. What is in the envelope? He wondered as he fought the urge not to peep but finally did. His eyes were brimming with shock, surprises and emotions as he read the note in the envelope. “I am three weeks late… you might not understand that is why I attached the pregnancy strip. I am pregnant.” Jake held his hand to his mouth as he looked at the pregnancy strip by the bed, excitement reeled in his stomach. He held his hand into a fist with excitement, his throat rippling with veins and he couldn't wait to hear the news from her tonight on their anniversary day. He looked around and brought out his phone as he walked out and nudged his friend on the shoulder. “Let's organize a party in Soho house, it will be on me. My wife has made me proud. In fact I'm the most happiest man on the Silver Planet.” — With excitement Jake dressed in the best suit he had come along with, his friend called him regarding the boarding of the exquisite Soho House but he could get the commoner suite because the exquisite suite had been chartered and most of it because of Jake money but he didn't mind. He dropped his phone with a sweaty palm. The surprise he had for her couldn't wait to unveil as he rubbed them together to keep his hand warm. He told Sonya in his text that he would meet her in the park with the car he rented but she hasn't showed up. “Did she forget?” Jake whispered to himself trying to shake off the creeping doubt. “She wouldn't, besides the gown must cost a fortune for her to forget, especially with the good news at hand.” With concern he pressed the phone again, his fingers trembling with each press, especially now that she's pregnant. Jake muttered to himself. “Is she alright?” He gathered himself together and dialed her number again, this time he was lucky she answered his call. “Sonya, Sonya where are you? Are you alright?” he paused to hear her talk when she's quiet he proceeded. “I have been waiting for you.” Instead of the usual calm soft voice he was expecting to hear, he was met with a raging voice. “Jake! You're blowing my phone off with your unending calls and texts. Take breaks!” “I thought something was wrong, today is our anniversary. And I wanted us to spend the moment together. Surprising you.” Sonya laughed hysterically over the phone. “With what?” she hissed then ended the call before Jake could utter a word. Jake had emptied his pocket to collect the Soho house for their anniversary, and that was because he saw Sonya was already with the dress on her bed. He thought something was wrong somewhere staring at the phone screen for Sonya to call back but she didn't. He calmed down and texted her one more time as he thought she must be acting out of hormones then a call rang into his phone, he was so quick to answer it. “Sonya I understand why you're anxious…” “Honestly Jake, don't you get tired? You're so poor and you disgust me, what can you possibly organize, if not for a breadcrumb party. Stop trying to act romantic, you should be more practical like focusing on making a decent living.” The word struck Jake like a fist to heart leaving him in frustration and confusion. How could she say something like that when he saw clearly that they were good all this while and even went on trip with their friends and the pregnancy. He thought all these things were to bring them closer together. “Sonya, I love you and I promise you won't regret the time you spent with me. Don't throw what we have away.” Jake said with a shaking voice. “Love? Hahaha, you're funny Jake. Love won't put food on my table. Love won't give me the kind of life I want.” Sonya killed the call before Jake could say another word. A heavy weight settled in his stomach, weighing him down to the earth, he was shattered, the baby name list as well as the red roses in his hand fell and smashed on the floor. He couldn't believe his ears, he hit his head on the steering wheel when his phone buzzed with a text. “Hey man, you need to come over. This instant something is not right!” Jake drove the car straight to Soho house to meet his friend. “What happened? Did you use the money on something else because it's all about Sonya, she would get mad when she comes and think i'm tricking her. Don't ruin today for me man.” He warned Trent. Trent reared back pointing his finger ahead of Jake. “Look man. You’re still bothered about Sonya? Strange enough she just passed with a man.” Jake heart skipped a beat as he saw the same silky dress from this morning on his wife and she stood laughing alongside a man. Everyone walked up to them. “It was you guys that rented the Soho House, and gave everyone a free treat.” The man laughed charmingly and replied. “I rented it out to surprise my lovely woman over here.” Sonya gazes up at him, her eyes brimming with affection. “It must be a strong relationship for a man as busy and reputable as him to celebrate with you today. Is it your birthday? Your anniversary? What are we celebrating?” They guests were eager to find out and Sonya smiled lightly with a second glance at the guy, he nudged her to go ahead. “We’re celebrating our anniversary.” Jake felt a bang of thunder in his head. “That can’t be Sonya, she won’t hurt me and disgrace me in public.” Trent squeezed him on the shoulder assuredly. “So you guys have been together for a year and the love is still brimming. We’re so impressed to learn this.” “And the baby?” Jake asked silently, “he can’t be responsible for the pregnancy.” He whispered to himself. “They're acting right. Trent.” Trent shook his head to snap Jake back into reality. He felt his hand trembling, his phone almost slipping from his hand, confusion and betrayal drowned out the sound of the crowd cheering for the two couples. “You must be ready to propose to her tonight, I can see you’re not yet married.” “We will be getting married in a month, and we’re already expecting a baby.” Sonya quickly replied, her voice laced with sweetness and she hugged the man tight.

Is it a crime to love you?”Sonya was dead silent for a while. “You owe that to my father because you put him in that situation and the petty money you give me cannot provide the life I want.

That would be the better, young master.” Jake, folding his arm by his side in hesitation, gazed down the road. “Are you going to defy me? Taking advantage of my current situation to get me back that is so much like him.” Jake unlocked the door but found out it was still locked despite his protest. “I'm sorry young master, but you have to come with us.” The car engine started and they revved onto the highway.

I was there Sonya.

“Jake, where did you get so much money from?” Young master Manson asked in surprise.Jake smiled generously but his eyes were slightly cold. “Don’t worry my old friend, Manson, I didn't steal them, I have found a new girlfriend, not only is she considerate but richer.”“Black diamond card?” Manson exclaimed with doubt. “Did you discover it on your way here? Or did Sonya finally settle you for being her side piece by giving you an antique?”Jake's eyes flew with disgust. “How can it be, you’re thinking too much Jake, she’s so petty.”Manson, annoyed by this fact, wore a decor on his face and smiled awkwardly. “Jake, you're surprisingly going from Sonya to a very capable woman in a week! Haha.”The black diamond gold card was issued by the Crystal Planet only and there were only a few of them, to be specific there were sixty of them and these sixty diamond cards were distributed among the top rich families.

Jake had just hung up on Janet and another call entered, Jaje picked up the call and the image of his friend showed up. “Jake you divorced Sonya! I didn't think you'd ever do that!” His friend looked at the bed behind Jake and shot a shocking glare at Jake, “How did you get such a lavish apartment in r is that a wallpaper behind you?” Jake nodded and replied, his face stoic with no expression. “No, it's my apartment.” “There is a classmate gathering tomorrow, you must come,” he said. “Classmate gathering!” Jake asked in surprise, even when he was together with Sonya he wouldn't attend the classmate gathering, he would listen to his classmates mocking him and calling him all sorts of bad names. “Yes, it's the same date every year, you should attend this time around.

He spent such a huge amount after his break up in total. What kind of person is his girlfriend? She is so stupid that he would give Jake that much money! "You even got a VIP suite?"

You’re trying to get a position as extras in the production and Wong brought in for an audition.” Jake pinned them on the spot with his gaze.The boy's eyes lit up as Jake slipped into the geek talk.

The following day Jake woke up in his apartment ready to handle whatever they brought his way. As he walked into the lobby of the movie company he noticed a young woman near the entrance passage of the lounge kicked immediately into a radiant smile. “Good morning sir, welcome to the Silver Planet one and only movie industry, how can I help you?” she smiled bashfully at Jake's overwhelmed trance. “We've decided to name it Blakes Production. How does that sound?”Jake was struck by her demeanour, and within a short period of two days, Wong Lee was not only impressive but was ready to take the bull by the horns.Jake soon exited the passageway to hit the massive door that was the heart of the movie company despite not being in the centre, the craven was designed to act as a starting post for acting activities. With some living quarters for actors in case of nights.“In here.” Wong Lee said. “Edward and I put in the room for workers just ahead of shooting at night. They will sleep over.

The director feigned understanding towards Jake, raising his eyebrow, “Young master, you're very brilliant, you already know what I was going to do, nothing will hold me back again.”Jake betrayed no surprise at his response, the leverage was too huge to be thrown out. The gathered people hooted with derision. Jake cold stares bored into the director.He thought, the first time doubt crept into the director's mind, Despite holding the phone to his ear Jake was unfazed, he’d met his match, had he not? No, he couldn’t believe that this man was just like the others but a small voice of reason said to end before things got out of hand. As Jake shrugged off the unwanted touch the director searched for something to gain the upper hand. Looking into Jake's eyes he found only quite resolve, his lip twitching but he held back his cynical comment about a threat that unnerved him far more than any raised word could.“You can’t scare me with your icy gaze, except you get on your knees and beg.”

Jake was still in shock; he thought Sonya had followed him inside the private suite to ruin his afternoon but it wasn’t Sonya as he expected.“Miss Prescott I think there is some misunderstanding from your end.” The security grabbed the woman and helped her to calm down.“This is not young master Edward, but his friend.” Prescott was engaged to Edward before he went to work for the movie three years ago, despite having told Prescott to move on she's still hung onto him and kept tabs on him so when Jake made use of the membership card her system was alerted.“You're not Edward?” she asked sober now that Jake didn't bother attending to her but instead walked out of the suit. “Where is that bastard! Does he think he can hide away from gimme forever?” She aggressively flinched her designer bag in the air.The manager ran after him. “Please young master don't tell anything to Edward about today, he will be mad and I will end up losing my job,”Like a chattering bird the manger kept fallin

I can't remember the last time I had a parfait.”The other lady giggled as they found themselves a spot to sit down. One of the ladies was Sonya and the other was Grace, her friend.They had planned to try out Windows Restaurant for a while now so while Sonya was rushing to go to the movie theatre to witness Jake's action she bumped into Grace.Grace brushed her hand inside her bag and jumped up excitedly holding a reservation ticket in her hands. “Grace you're amazing, how were you able to get your hands on that ticket?”Meals in Windows Restaurant were high-end, a single meal cost one thousand.

Jake sighed and rubbed his chin as he walked towards the receptionist, he rested his arm on the desk beside the movie director. “Arrange a meeting with Mike Sheldon. I want to know how he hit such a huge client in one night, maybe he can set me up with him.” The director said ignorantly, mesmerized by the luck that shone on the Forbes house to locate him, his company was already going down and the only way to keep his head high was to get the super-rich mysterious man to invest in his company. “I don’t have all the time in the world director. My client here wants to have his contract terminated with immediate effect.” The director whirled around furious and sneered. “Get lost! I was expecting a wealthy and well-dressed successor to come through for Edward, not a fool dressed in rags.” Edward panicked; he had been so focused on terminating the contract that he didn’t realize the director's temper would ruin things. “Brother Jake you’ve annoyed the director, he is just about money.

Edward walked into the company to sign in as usual. At this moment, a few young actors of his generation rushed over to him, the gaze in his eyes predicted their actions."Senior Edward! Why are you here? It doesn't seem like you have any jobs to do today. I'm afraid you can only stay in the longue to drink coffee all day since you are banned after all." one of the upcoming actors reminded him the moment he wanted to sit down."Senior Edward, look, your recent schedule is as empty as a blank sheet of paper! You can have a really good rest, and I’m so envious of that! Ah! I've been too busy lately. I have to shoot a commercial for my endorsement later. See you!”"Senior Edward, I heard that the movie you acted in was removed from the market because you were blacklisted by the company. That's such a pity!

Jake held his hand to the banging feel of the hard blow on his cheeks, he spit to the floor as he watched James pass through the entrance with his friends with boisterous laughter on their face. “Welcome sir, you can have your seat by the edge there. What would you like for a drink? We have our famous martini and wines waiting to be served to our VIP guests.” The manager, Cain said with a warm smile, that Jake found cocky. The security continued with the gleeful smile at James and his friends before returning his mean gaze to the man dressed in cheap denim trousers and shirt. “I want to meet the owner of this place.” Jake demanded tightening his jaw. The founder’s gaze fell on the ruckus at the entrance that stirred a discreet murmur among the customers. “Oh brother Sheldon.” Jake called when the old man dressed in a designer suit got closer. Another hit was blown into his stomach. “How dare you mutter the name of our founder, you should be begging for your life at this rate,
