SAVING ANGEL
"What do you want in return for saving my daughter?" Japheth Williams asked blankly.
Gilda quickly sprang up, "No. I didn't save her because I wanted a prize, Angel is just too...."
"Then have a nice time," Japheth cuts in and leaves without looking back.
Gilda was taken aback; she saved the billionaire's daughter because she happened to be locked in the same storeroom.
Now her father thought she did it because she wanted something in return.
Getting back home, a wedding proposal was waiting. Her stepmom handed her the proposal, "You either marry him or stop acting."
Stop acting? Acting was her biggest passion and dream. Asking her to quit or get married was too much, and so she left home.
While roaming on the street, another proposal met her again, and this time it was from Seth Williams, Japheth's brother.
"My niece can't get enough of you. Be her nanny, and I'll sponsor your acting career".
Frustrated and desperate, she agreed.
If taking care of Angel alone was the real job, it would be easier, but she was forced to deal with her crippled father, too.
Japheth Williams. The head honcho of the biggest film industry in the country.
It started as a business deal, but how did it end? And who is Angel’s real Mum?.

Chapter: CHAPTER 5There’s no way I’m marrying that old man. Come what may!” I spat, stamping my foot against the tiled floor before spinning on my heel to leave.“I’ve become a maid in my own father’s house. I’ve done everything you demanded since my parents died in that car crash. I obeyed every command, I swallowed every insult, all in the hope that maybe you’d forgive me for my mother’s so-called sins. But none of it has ever been enough! Why do you want to throw me away to that old man? Why—”“I am not asking for your opinions, Gilda!” my stepmother snapped, cutting me off sharply. “You will marry him, and that is final! You will quit acting, you will become his housewife, or you will leave this house with your bad luck!”“You’ll get married to him!” she repeated firmly. “Better that than becoming a whore who sleeps with married men to climb the social ladder. Compared to your mother, who wasted her youth with limited opportunities, this is your one chance.”“This is a shot for you to live a good l

Chapter: CHAPTER 4I grabbed the doorknob, refusing to let go. My heart raced as I struggled against it, desperate to open it back up. But his strength overpowered mine. Seconds later, I heard the sharp click of the lock sliding into place.Horror washed through me.“Why? Why do people keep doing this to me?!” I screamed, pounding on the door. “Am I the only one who doesn’t deserve a chance? Am I the one with no responsibilities to take care of?”The silence that followed nearly broke me.Finally, his muffled voice seeped through the door. “I’m sorry, Gilda. I knew you’d be stubborn, that’s why I had no choice. The management doesn’t want anyone standing in Vera’s way. She’s the star now. Maybe if you had half her fame, you wouldn’t be here.”His footsteps faded, leaving me in the suffocating quiet of my new prison.I slid down against the cold door, my body folding into itself. Curling my legs until my knees touched my jaw, I hugged myself tightly. Again, Vera. Always Vera. It was as if her shadow was

Chapter: CHAPTER 3 Gilda!!” a familiar voice rang out, it was the girl who had played the palace maid beside me. She waved with such enthusiasm, probably thinking I had lost my way.Heat flushed through me from embarrassment. Swallowing hard, I forced myself forward, each step heavier than the last. There was no sneaking out now, not with so many eyes shifting in my direction.Silently, I prayed that this wouldn’t be as bad as I feared. That I wouldn’t end the night regretting my decision to come.“Gildaaa!!” Vera’s voice, sweet as poisoned honey, cut through the air the very moment I sat down at the far end of a long, crowded bench.The main cast sat comfortably on cushioned chairs and polished wooden stools, their placement reflecting the weight of their roles. The extras were crammed together on a hard bench, stacked side by side.No one here knew Vera was my sister. She had made sure of that. Despite sharing the same surname, she always pretended not to know me in public, and people believed her and

Chapter: CHAPTER 2Wasn’t I enough? Was I not pretty enough? Sure, Vera had the curves, the sultry smirks, the revealing clothes that turned heads everywhere she went. But hadn’t Ethan always told me he preferred women who were different? Hadn’t he sworn that he hated women like her?I didn’t know what broke me more: the fact that it was Vera sitting there, smug and victorious; the expression of cruel satisfaction painted across her face as I cried; or the cold, detached glances Ethan shot me, like my pain was nothing but a mild inconvenience.“Look, Gilda,” Ethan finally spoke, and I stared, hanging on to every word as though he might still salvage himself.“Check yourself out… from head to toe.” His eyes raked over me, filled with disgust and disdain.I looked down at myself. A plain red dress, loose-fitting and modest. Nothing like the bum shorts and crop top Vera had tossed carelessly on the floor. But wasn’t this who he said he wanted? A decent girl. He had mocked women like Vera before. He had pra

Chapter: CHAPTER 1 Gilda's POV“Ahhhh, Ethan. Ughhh, ugh, ugh… Take me to hell with you, you’re so good at this… ruin me. Ughnnn.”My hand froze on Ethan’s doorknob. The words and intimate whimpers filled the hallway and split something inside me. I told myself I was imagining it. That they couldn’t be real. But as the moans kept coming, it became impossible to deny.My fingers slipped. I’d been ready to face him, to look him in the eye and demand answers, because Ethan would be the last person to do this to me. We’d been together for years; our third anniversary was just a few weeks away. We’d planned a future together, stitched it up with quiet promises and late-night plans. There was no place in that future for betrayal.I bent to pick up the bottle of water I’d dropped when I first heard the sound and pushed the door open. The sight that met me sent the bottle clattering from my hand again, with water scattering across the floor in a dripping arc.“Ethan?” My voice came out thin. Tears stung hot at
