The next day, Ambrose sprawled over her bed. The blanket that was meant to cover her laid messily on the floor. Her hair was spread over her pillow as she slept in a star position The golden sunlight seeped from her window and rested on her face. Her phone beamed indicating a message came inAmbrose rubbed her eyes and groggily reached for her phone. The slumber she felt flew outside the window when she saw the headings of the message It was an email stating that she was picked to enrol in the movie she auditioned for. However, when she scrolled further down, her brows creasedShe was given the role of the second female lead instead. It was better than nothing. The earlier smile found its way back to her face. She took a screenshot of the email and forwarded it to Damon with a caption "Honey, look, I made it!" A reply came in within seconds " Expected. You did well" Ambrose's smile was so wide it almost reached her ears, she immediately typed a reply "What's my reward for gettin
" There's a need. I'll be her friend first and then put a few good words in for you, so she'll know what a good person you are. I've taken it upon myself not to let you die a lone man" Brandon said the last sentence with more seriousness " Fine, do what you want " Damon replied and ended the call. He went back into the house and ate his breakfast. He didn't meet Oliver at the dining area Damon was halfway through his meal when an image flashed through his mind He saw a small boy, seated on the same spot he was, eating his food and next to the little boy was another boy at his right and a girl at his left. The boy and girl were arguing, the little boy in the middle ignored them and ate as though nothing was going on around him The flash of image in Damon's head came with an ache in his head. He quickly downed a glass of water and massaged his forehead. As he was doing this, a man came into the hose. He was holding a suitcase and was wearing a labcoat One didn't have to think much
Baron took a few steps closer to Damon. He had been restless the past few days. How was Damon able to climb the ladder so quickly? The feeling of restlessness grew inside him which was the reason he went to visit Damon's house He had been going since they released him from the hospital. He was sure Damon would, one day, visit the place and he was right Damon glanced at him before he properly closed the door and advanced to leave " It'll shake tables if I were to take a photo of you coming out of this house and then send it to Mr Oliver" Baron folded his arms across his chest and lifted a corner of his lips"Are you threatening me?" Damon stopped in his tracks and asked " No, not a threat. I'm just saying, I can easily put an end to your shenanigans. Don't go around thinking you're above me, just because you've borrowed someone else's name. You're still nothing! Mr Oliver would show you no mercy when he finds about your lies " Baron said Damon gave Baron a small smile" Go ahead an
"Although it's not the role I hoped for. I've came to a realisation that even the second female lead has more significance than the main female lead in the movie" As Ambrose spoke, she remembered Ella who she bumped into the other day and her mood dropped "You don't have to feel bad. It doesn't matter which role you get, you'll outshine the rest of the casts" Damon said when he saw the change in her moodAmbrose giggled and playfully hit Damon's shoulder "Oh you! You've gotten really good with words" She wagged her finger at him and placed her other hand on her waist "You're not allowed to speak like that to any other lady. Most especially that Ella girl" Damon replied "Is that a hint of jealousy i suspect?" He curled the corner of his lips up and made himself comfortable on the sofaAmbrose scrunched her lips in disdain. She hated to admit it, but Ella was beautiful. She had a pair of does eyes that made her even look more feisty Her figure which was already to die for was embedded
Ella looked around and was fascinated at the romantic air on the floor. She doubted if it was Damon that planned all of that. He always looked cold and didn't like to express his emotions. She thought "It's impossible for Nathan to take a fancy to this plain Jane instead of me" The floor was meticulously designed that she was almost jealous of Ambrose. She maintained her countenance, smirked slyly at Ambrose and took a few steps further Ambrose lifted her head and saw Ella. Her inflated mood dropped. Why in the world was Ella there? " A man rich enough to give me princess treatment" Ambrose scrutinised Ella from head to toe "Unlike you who's trying so hard to get a man that has zero interest in you, my man will give the world for me" Ella balled her fists that her nails almost pierced through her palm. But she smiled anyway, trying to conceal the effect the words gave her. She wouldn't give Ambrose a chance of superiority "In case you're not aware, I and Nathan are engaged. Would
The dinner ended beautifully well with another present from Damon to Ambrose. He gifted her an emerald green wrist chain Just as Ambrose promised, she didn't take off the necklace he had given her during her birthday. It was always there to adorn her neckBy the time they were done with the dinner, the day was already dark and there was a chilly mist in the air They clasped their hands together as they went down the streets "Why can't everyday be like this?" Ambrose asked in a hush tone "Very soon, my dear. Once all is settled, I'll spend the rest of my days pleasing you" Damon replied A few metres behind them, Ella was in her car staring intently at them, trying as hard as possible to see who it was that was with Ambrose. She could only see the person from the back. Ella didn't wait all the while for them to come out. She just so happened to be passing by at that time they left the restaurant.Ambrose and Damon took a left turn, cutting Ella off her detectory job. Ella started
Damon's hand stopped midway for a second in the process of putting food into his mouth. He dropped his spoon back on his plate and raised a brow without responding to what Mrs Evans said "Get someone to call Mr Oliver down here. I'm sure he'll be happy to hear this" Mrs Evans said " I got back less than a week ago. Someone who doesn't know better would think you have ulterior motives with your desperacy to get married to me" Damon's eyes were downcast and there was no emotions in his words "Of course, I am desperate to get married to you. You're my fiancé! It's better for us to get married as soon as we can" Ella slightly raised her voice. It was the first time she spoke that way to DamonShe didn't understand why Damon didn't find her appealing, most men did. "Calm down, darling" Mrs Evans poured herself a cup of juice and then gently stoked Ella's hair as though calming an angry beast. "Don't get yourself all worked up. Nathan had no objection to getting married to you. He know
"Answer me!! Were you at Francier's Meal last night?" Ella asked again when Damon didn't answer "You speak of getting married to me. But you still have so little trust in me" Damon responded Ella saw that she had crossed the line and have bursted out without any rational reason. The last thing she would want to happen was to use her own hands to push Damon away How else would she get to be Snyder's family young madam? She reduced her tone of voice and replied "I'm sorry, Nathan. My outburst was out of the love I have for you. It just hurts that you don't want me to be close to you in any way" "Condone yourself" Damon spat and dashed out of the room. Ella pushed the books off the table in anger. There was one way that'll keep Damon chained to her for life, whether he wants or not. And that was to get pregnant for him Oliver holds the final say and he obviously would be delighted if Damon bears him a child. Then, Damon would have no choice but to get married to her Ella knew th
“Reynold Smith? Isn't that Ella's biological father? Who knew he had so much love for his daughter that he can anchor all her crimes. Tsk” Orlando adjusted the shades on his face as he walked next to Damon Damon's face was still. He has accepted his fate. He knew that soon enough, his secret will be out Before that happens, he needs to make sure that Ambrose is safe. He needed to be rest assured that Oliver will be in good health If that happens, he will spend his life in jail in peace, knowing he's laid a path for the ones he care about He pulled a few strings to get some producers and entertainment firms to pay attention to Ambrose. He was confident in her skills and was sure that those firms would try to poach her soon. Even when he's in jail, Ambrose wouldn't have any issue with money “I wasn't aware that he's in the city. His presence here will cause Mrs Evans a lot of headache. That's not my problem anyway. What do you plan to do now, Nathan?”Orlando said “Get a doctor to
At the police station, Ella was placed back in her cell with cuffs in her hand. She was looking down at the floor with her back rested against the wallMr and Mrs Evans dashed into the station and ran to Ella. Earlier, the policemen found her inside the well, took her back to the station and called her parents to inform them Tom, on the other hand, was in hiding. He attempted to fly out of the country but since the borders were closed, he couldn't. So, he went into hiding. The police already termed him wanted “What were you thinking?! I'll never expect this from you in a million years. Do you know how much damage you caused? Look here and answer my questions!” Mr Evas gripped the cell’s gate and glared at her“Honey, calm down. Can't you see how injured she is? At least, show some sympathy”Mrs Evans turned to Ella “Darling, raise your head and look at mummy. What happened? I won't believe all that was said about you until I hear from you. Tell me, what happened!”“It's you that has
Ella tried to push him off but a lady's strength can't compare to a man's strength. Tom mercilessly ravaged on her body, without a care of the situation of things After he was done, he left Ella's naked body on the floor and put his trouser back on. He glanced at her on the floor and said “Now, the deal is over”“You'll regret this, you fool”With pain soaring over her body, she managed to push herself to the corner of the van She wanted Damon and only Damon to have her body. She kept herself all these while for him. Even though she wanted to get back at Damon for putting her in jail, she still didn't want any man to touch her She glared at Tom with hatred bursting through her lungs as she picked up her torn clothes on the floor and tried to cover herself with it Tom didn't pay any attention to her, he picked up his phone and was about to make a call to some of his men when the van stopped Ella became alert. She tried to fasten up the process of wearing her dress but she wasn't fas
Ambrose took a huge gulp as her eyes darted round the corners of the room. Her lips spread into an awkward smile. When she glanced back at her mother, her mother was still looking at her with expectations of answers to her question Ambrose dropped her smile and her shoulders. She heaved a heavy sigh. She had no choice but to tell her mother everything Besides, she's always been a bad liar. And if there's anybody that can easily detect when she isn't telling the truth, it'd be her mother “First, promise to stay calm, okay?”“I won't promise that. I can't stay calm. In fact, as we speak, I'm not calm”“Promise you won't get mad?”“Tell me the truth first”“Okay” Ambrose closed her eyes and opened them “Damon isn't actually Auntie Paula's son. He's actually the grandson of a powerful family” Ambrose couldn't possibly tell her mother the real truth. It would be dangerous for more than two people to walk around with the knowledge of what Damon is really doing. She had to fabricate a li
Ambrose went to set that day, but found out that the movie production was on hold and would probably get cancelled soon. They haven't been able to peacefully shoot for three days streak without a problem arising Just the previous day, Ambrose went missing with no one's knowledge of how it happened. The next day, she returned to set as though nothing happened The recent incident was Ella's arrest and the news shocked everyone. They were even more shocked at the cause of her arrest No matter how much Mr Evans and his wife tried to bury the news and keep it a secret from the world, the news still seeped outCould Ella really be behind Ambrose's disappearance the previous day? Everyone was aware of the bad blood between Ambrose and Ella. But didn't Ella have bad blood with everyone? Carl and Lora were exceptionally happy when they got the news of her arrest and they even went as far as celebrating over a bottle of alcoholAlthough Carl was sad that the movie was on hold, he wouldn't
Mr Evans pulled his brows together and went to the man. He tapped his shoulder When the man turned back, Mr Evans’s brows creased further. Reynold was putting on a cap and a mask which concealed his face Before Mr Evans could say anything, Mrs Evans called out to him “Darling, come over here. Let's ask about how we can get our daughter out of her”She deliberately called Ella their daughter just to assure him that he was her father and whoever came earlier wasn't real. And also, to divert his attention so Reynold could go away Mr Evans looked back at his wife. When he turned back to the man, he was no longer there. He took rapid steps forward and looked left and right, but he didn't see him anymore He returned to the station and said to the policeman “I'm her father. Listen, my daughter was accused of the crime. She's innocent. Surely, for this fact, there should be a bail for her”“Listen here, the man that filed for her arrest is ready to push this matter until she's jailed under
Meanwhile, the previous day, Mrs Evans didn't plan to stay over at the hotel with Reynold. However, when she stood up to leave, Reynold yanked her back onto the bed and pinned her down. He locked the door and didn't allow her to leave He said he wanted to spend more time with his wife. Mrs Evans had no choice but to stay, he's her husband anyway Besides, she would just cook up an excuse to Mr Evans. He trusted her blindly and she was confident that he would believe her When she got a call from him, Reynold’s arms were tightly wrapped around her waist with his head on her chest. He heard everything Mr Evans said and immediately got off the bed “Ella has been arrested?” He asked as he watched Mrs Evans move around in panic to get her things and leave “Yes, you heard what he said. I need to go to see things for myself and get her out of there”Mrs Evans said as she put on her bra and her clothes Reynold got down from the bed and began to get dressed as well “What are you doing?” M
“What?! Get your hands off me! Why am I being arrested? I have done nothing wrong!”Ella yelled as she struggled with the policemen. She tried to wiggle her wrists out of the cuffs, but they were to no avail “You're a suspect for the mastermind behind the kidnapping and attempted rape of Ambrose Kinn. I suggest you cooperate with us and come to the police station” With a hostile face, one of the police men said Ella wasn't having any of it.”Suspect? Mastermind?! I didn't do any of those! I'm innocent. I don't know what you're talking about. Let me go! How dare you handcuff me like a criminal without any proof, this is against the law!” Ella kept sprouting words. How could she, a pampered princess, step into a station. Her dignity would be crushed! She was more scared that she would be exposed. Besides, she was truly guilty of all that they said. But, how did they find out? Did that bastard, Tom, blow her cover? She had been on the edge of her seat since morning, trying to call Tom,
Damon's heart wildly hit against its cage. Is this the end? If he was to run away, where would he go? After all, there's a possibility that he isn't the real Damon. And Ambrose? He didn't want to taint her by allowing her to be with someone that has a bad reputation At that point, he wished he didn't accept Mrs Evans’s offer. He wished he layed low and continue to live his life as before. Then, he would not have had to face everything he was going through. He wouldn't have burdened himself about the awful truth of his past Damon's heart clenched. What should he do? Where should he go? Everything was crumbling It took him a lot of strength to stuff his tears back in. His trembling hands scrolled down the page to see the “evidence” they mentioned To his greatest shock, there were photos of a casket and an old photo of Damon walking along the streets. Damon tapped on the screen and zoomed in on it. They weren't evidences! They were bullshit! All those things didn't prove anything.
