“What are you doing here? Did you finally figure out that you're not suitable to be in the fashion line? So you chose to go into acting instead. I don't think you're much of an actress though. You'll probably get replaced after the first shoot” Brandon smirked “Get out of my way” Laura's brows pulled into a frown as she pushed Brandon away. What an annoying human? Who did she offend for her to meet with several annoying people in a single day? Brandon stumbled to the side but steadied himself almost immediately. He hurried his steps to her and said “So, what role are you playing?” “Why must you be so nosy? Mind your own business” Laura fanned her fingers across her ears as though a mosquito was roaming around her ears “You know? You should be happy I'm speaking to you. Most ladies will give anything to have the privilege you are taking advantage of” Laura stopped walking and turned to Brandon “Alright Brandon. Please, stop giving me this privilege. I'm so tired of seeing your fac
She pulled her fingers and bit the inside of her cheeks so hard that it almost bled Brandon returned to Ambrose and asked “Are you better now? Does it still hurt?”“It's better, thanks” Ambrose replied Brandon noticed Laura's gaze on him, so he turned to her and said “What? Is it bad for me to render help? Because it seems like you always find a fault to everything I do”“You two know each other?” Ambrose's gaze alternated between Brandon and Laura “No”“Yes”The both of them answered at the same time. They both glanced at each other when they heard their countering replies Laura was the first to sweep her gaze off Brandon and looked at Ambrose “I don't know him. I've only met him once”Brandon placed his hand on the left side of his chest. He gritted his teeth and slightly opened his mouth “That hurts. Your denial hurts, Laura”“I speak the truth. I don't know you” Laura replied with a straight face. She spoke aloofly to Brandon, a complete opposite of the softness she usually us
Brandon whistled and mumbled next to Ambrose's ears “Nathan got you there, didn't he?” He then went to Ella and took the bouquet from her “This belongs to Ambrose, not you” He smirked at her and took the teddy bear from the delivery manHe handed everything over to Ambrose and said “Your boyfriend sure is a caring man” Then, he winked at her “I need your signature, miss”The delivery man said to Ambrose. She gave the things in her hand to Laura and went to sign “Who would have thought something like this will happen on the first day on set! This is a good omen for you, Ambrose!” Laura smiled Ambrose replied to Damon's message “I love it, thanks. Muah!!” She then lifted her head to look at Laura and replied “I guess”“You have no idea how happy I am to see Ella embarrassed. Her wings are damaged” Laura said Ambrose just smiled and didn't reply. A few minutes later, the break was over and the director called everyone to acting again The scenes that involved Ella were complete messes
Before Baron could get down from the car, Ambrose slammed the door shut and hurried to go inside the house However, Baron moved swiftly enough to catch up to her. His usually radiant face was now filled with gloom. His beards had grown beyond its usual level. He looked like a shadow of his former self Nobody knew about this, but for the past weeks, Baron had been facing immense pressure from his father He thought it was an easy task to run a company, how wrong he was! It was real loads on his shoulders, so many sleepless nights and sacrificesHe barely had time for himself. All he did was bury his head in work. Since his company wasn't as high end as Snyder's corporation, he didn't have as much people to share the work with. So, he had to cater for some things himselfWork was boring and hectic. He badly missed the times he wasted his time away in the club and hanging out with friends doing completely useless things. Earlier that day, he gave up, dropped all he had on his hands an
“Mum, what are you doing here? You didn't say you were coming. Honestly, this is a huge surprise” Ambrose tried to avert her mother's thoughts from Baron. She knew her mother well, she got worried easily. And if she told her that Baron once tried to forcefully get close to her, she might drag her back to Dallen Haves “Don't cover up my question. Who's that man?” Her mother asked again Ambrose took a deep breath and replied “That's Baron. He said he likes me, but I don't feel the same for him. He has been pestering me for a long time” Ambrose replied. She didn't lie, sort of. She just fabricated a bit of the truth Her mother stared at her for a few seconds before she looked away and replied “Stay away from that man. If possible, get another apartment, so he wouldn't know where you live. I don't want him anywhere around you”Ambrose rushed to her and hugged her tightly “Alright, mother. I missed you soo much. I haven't seen and touched you in three years”A smile broke on her mother's
She couldn't let it slide just like that. She was sure Ambrose knew from the start that the package was for her, but she didn't step forward to receive it because she wanted to embarrass her in front of everyone Yes, that must be it! "You'll pay!" Meanwhile in Damon's office, Oliver walked around the office, reminiscing about the past years when he still visited the office as often. While Damon engrossed himself in his work. Attending to several issues at once. Orlando clasped his hands behind his back and stood behind Damon as he worked “Nathan, about breaking off the marriage agreement between you and Ella, it has to be discussed with Ella's family. It's better if it's done as soon as possible. Things like this shouldn't be left dragging for too long” After Oliver was done walking around the office, he went back to the sofa“ I already spoke to her mother”Damon replied “Really? When was that? What did she say about it?” Oliver asked Damon thought for three seconds before he
Damon's eyeballs moved as he tried to make sense of what he heard. He came after that boy died. Did that boy die before his mother gave birth to him? “How old should the boy be now, if he were alive?”Damon asked “24 years”“The same age as me. What do you mean I came after he died?” Damon asked Carter closed his eyes and shook his head “Kid, trust me. It's better if you don't know these things. Just keep living your life and pretend you didn't come across that picture”“I won't hesitate to slash your ears off if you don't answer me” Damon's voice was laid with dangerCarter heaved a deep sigh before he said “ Paula is not your biological mother”Gbam!!! Damon felt as though a roofing of glass just shattered on his head. His grip on the knife loosened and the knife fell to the floor Seeing that Damon was discombobulated, Carter pushed him off him and ran away. Damon didn't have the energy to go after him. He sat on the floor with a heart weighing heavy His mother wasn't his biolo
Tom picked the picture and gazed at it. It was a photo of Ambrose in her college. She was smiling and talking to a felllow student “What has such a gorgeous girl done to offend you, princess?” Tom finally asked “That's none of your business. Will you help me with this?”Tom smiled and tapped his shoe on the floor. He twirled the photo in his hand with his eyes lingering on Ella's face “I need more clarity. What exactly do you want me to do to her?”“That's completely up to you. Just make sure she doesn't recover from it for a long time”“Where does she stay?”Ella told Tom all she knew about Ambrose. Where she lived, schooled and where she worksElla knew Tom would help her to do anything she asks for. He has been on her tail for so long, since they were teenagers, wooing her and trying to be in a relationship with her While Damon was away, Ella's mind didn't really drift to having any relationship. She liked her solo life. So long she had money and could look down on others, she w
