Georgina stood there gaping at Denise like she had seen Angel Lucifer in person. She couldn't just believe that the dumb girl they had bullied since they were born was talking back at her. She did the only logical thing she could have done at that moment, according to her: raised her hand and made to slap Denise.But like Denise had decided; she had seen and taken enough.in this house and it was enough. She raised her hand and held Georgina's. She couldn't let herself get slapped. Not anymore. She was through with that. The only reason she had allowed them to beat her however they wanted was because she was young and didn't know where she would go if she ever left home.But now that her father had refused to take her to theUniversity despite her good grades, she had nothing to lose. It's time she taught them a lesson they will never forget."How dare you!" Georgina screamed as she tried to take her hand from Denise's hold but she found that she couldn't. The grip Denise had on her ha
Denise felt braver than she ever has. She wanted answers and she wanted to leave here. She couldn't stay with these people anymore but she couldn't leave without the answers she wanted. She felt like screaming her heart out but she couldn't give them that satisfaction. She refused to break down l before them."How dare you!" Mr Ashton bellowed. "How dare you talk back to me? You are an abomination to this family! You caused the death of my sister and you are the one to talk? I will tell you why you are an abomination!" He continued but his wife pulled his hand as if asking him not to say anything."You want to know why I call you an abomination? I will tell you," he hissed but one again, his wife pulled his hand."Darling. Please don't. Just punish her for beating our children," she whispered but Denise heard her clearly."Why shouldn't he tell me? Don't you think I deserve the truth? Just tell me!" She screamed and Mr Ashton had had enough of her 'nonsense' as he called it. He looke
After Denise got to her house (if you would call that shack that), she put water in the one basin she owned and went to the shared bathroom outside her house. She had to lock her house first because she didn't want anyone to get to her house and maybe take the little she had. That's how little faith she had in humanity and she had every justification to think that.She slept with a smile on her face as she remembered the girl she saved and that the following day would be the auditions. She didn't have an eventful night, obviously, and she slept soundly until the time she normally woke up. Anyway, in this place there was no chance of oversleeping because people woke up as early as four to open their small businesses and others to go looking for work. That meant that the noise itself would wake someone up if your problems didn't.She got ready for the day. The auditions would start at ten but she preferred to be early because the last thing she needed was to be late and annoy the judges
Denise left that salon with a smile. She had not known that a simple beauty procedure could bring out her beauty in that magnitude. She felt like a totally new person and she could already imagine herself as Laura King. She knew she had the right height and size. Even her face, she knew that would be an added plus. What she wasn't sure of was her acting. She had never done it professionally but she was confident in herself. She was a go getter and she would do it.She boarded a vehicle and by nine thirty, thirty minutes before time, she was already at the venue. They were to do auditions in the hotel that had been mentioned in the advert and it was her first time being in such a place. It did not take her long to arrive as she had decided to be generous with herself. Since she didn't know the city well and she was not sure where the hotel was, she decided to take a taxi there and here sg was. When the receptionist who gave her the script saw her, she was flabbergasted and she looked
Laura carried her bag carefully and walked stealthily towards the safe. When she got there, she looked all ways to make sure that she was alone. She then placed the bag she was carrying on the ground and knelt on one knee.She looked at the safe and smiled. She caressed it and her look said that she had found her baby. She looked like a psycho who worshipped a safe at that moment. "Oh, my baby. How I love a good challenge," she said with an excitement that clearly showed that she was a pro at what she was about to do.She then opened her bag and produced a pen, a writing pad, a stethoscope (she had made hers from materials she could find) and a timer.She placed the watch at the floor and smiled, "only two minutes to break you. I love breaking beauties don't worry. I will take good care of you," she talked to the safe again with a smile and she giggled. She looked like a beautiful psycho who was entirely focused on what she was doing.She then took the stethoscope and placed the diap
That man, John, did as he was instructed by the director. He was a nice man who talked to Denise like a normal person. He didn't have any attitudes and was actually very nice. They were having small talk as they walked towards a phone shop just a block away from Global Scope Studios."You know D-Nice" John started and Denise looked at him, "I've been in this industry for a while now. I have photographed and videographed a lot of models, actors and actresses, and I have to say, you are very talented and nice. I am sure for your character, there will be very very few MTs," he praised her and she felt nice. But..."What are MTs?" She asked as some of these movie terms were still new to her."Oh, sorry. Because of your good acting I forgot that you are new to all this. MTs are multiple takes. You see, when filming a scene, each scene filming is called a 'take'. Many actors and actresses do like two or three takes before a director is satisfied. Others do even fifty or more takes. Like the
Denise had never been in such a car. She was thus enjoying the view and the ride and she really wasn't paying attention to where they were going. She had never been to the city before because as she was growing up, she was hardly ever taken anywhere. She wasn't even allowed to go to her grandfather's burial either. All she knew was the way to school and back home. All she knew about the town or cars and such was what she read in magazines and saw on TV and nothing else. Thus, this was a first and very enjoyable to her. She thus enjoyed looking at all these buildings and all these businesses. She didn't know that the city was this big. She was mesmerized and lost in her own imaginary world.She promised herself that one day, she would also own a building like this and start a big business like these people. She would become her own boss. One day, people would relate the name D-Nice with her. She swore to make it a house hold name.She was brought back by Fey shaking and calling her."H
Denise looked at that man wide eyed. As she watched, Fey run and hugged him."Uncle, you are bad. Why did you tell your secretary not to let us in?" She complained while pouting and the man patted her back with a caring expresion about his face."It's not that baby. Why would I tell her not to let in my favourite niece? It's just that I'm so busy and wanted to catch up with some work," he said as he looked at Denise.Denise felt her legs give and she saw the office spin. She then started free falling and before she could hit the ground, the man was there to cushion her fall with his large arms. Since he was tall, he had reached her before Alex, who had gone to the dispenser to get water, could reach her."Is she sick?" He asked looking at his sister."No, as far as I know, she has been well since we met and hasn't shown any signs of being in any kind of discomfort. I haven't seen anything odd," Alex answered as she touched D's forehead."No fever, she seems okay," she said and the man
