The mansion felt different when we got back, like the walls had ears now, and they were all whispering the same thing: They know.

Leonard killed the engine in the garage, hands still white on the wheel. Angel was asleep in her booster, head lolling, that broken bird clutched to her chest like a teddy.

Her little mouth was open, soft breaths puffing out. Peaceful. After saying "Daddy" and "Veronica" like it was nothing.

I unbuckled quietly, heart still racing from the session high... and the com

  • Daddy, I found you a wife.   Chapter 43

    I stirred awake, staring at the empty space beside me.‘When did he leave?’The space beside me was warm, he probably just got up a few minutes earlier.I took slow steps to my room, my phone buzzed with new notificationsI already knew what It was about – the cast airing and the contract signing.Granger informed me that they planned on having a photoshoot, behind the scenes moments and snippets to increase the audience’s opinion on new actors in the show– Me.I couldn't remember the last time I slept in my room, most of the times I slept in Leonard's room. It was basically just for fancy, a place to keep my clothes. I rushed through my daily routine, glancing at myself in the mirror one last time before heading downstairs.Angel and Leonard were already seated at the dining table, the dishes in front of them remained untouched.He glanced at me as soon as I entered, “Good Morning.”I avoided his gaze, taking the seat farthest from him.Leonard seemed to mind, very much actually, hi

    I pulled out my phone from my bag and scanned through my inbox.ClaraTell me you're seeing this, aren't you.It can't be real.Right!!!Right!!!Veronica answer me goddamnit!MiaI don't even know what to say.You're on Thomas fucking Granger's set and I had to find out through the net! I don't even want to know what's going on between you and Hattie On the top of the trending history was me and Hattie with me out faces inches away from each other. Somebody must have taken it while we weren't looking earlier and from that angle we looked…In love.The caption was boldly highlighted, ‘Can you feel the Chemistry🔥’My hands flew over my keyboard to debunk these absurd claims but Lin snatched the phone right off my hands.“Don't!” She held it away from my grip, “Look how many likes it has.”I gritted my teeth.

  • Daddy, I found you a wife.   Chapter 39: Veronica's POV

    I may not have spent nearly enough time to know what Granger was thinking but I could swear on all the grey hairs in his head that it probably wasn't something good.Hannah leaned towards the assistant director, “Her gaze is frightening…perfect for Lenora.”Hattie's gaze was trained on me, she lowered her lids subtly and her mouth trembled as she clenched the hem of her skirt, “Anybody ... .Anybody but you!”Her head snapped upwards, staring right at us with teary eyes, “I would take a knife in the back from anybody…just not you!”I sat frozen in my seat, watching as she acted out her scene.Hattie. Her acting had improved, drastically compared to when we were kids.She was no longer the little girl who tailed behind me for every class and made a ruckus wherever she went, she was an A-list actress now, with a record as clean as it could ever be.Granger raised his hand and motioned for her to stop.“Veronica, why don't you act the scene alongside her.” I stood up and slowly walked to

  • Daddy, I found you a wife.   Chapter 38: Veronica POV

    I had just one question to ask,“Why?” I was more than dumb founded, what exactly was going through their heads? “You are fucking loaded so why on earth would you choose to clean up after an actress. A D-List actress!”This was absolutely insane, every single attire on their skin, heck James's Sneakers cost more than I earned in a month!“A lot of things matter more than money, for one, peace of mind.” Carrots bubbly face turned sullen, “I'd rather have a couple thousand bucks in my account than millions with zero freedom.”I'm not sure she understood the concept of poverty.Acouple thousand bucks would make a struggling single mom worship you and a med student battling with student loan treat you like a living Buddha.“I want to put my degree to good use in someplace other than my mother's company.” Lin adjusted the rim of her glasses, “Now, I'm just one string away from completly breaking loose.”James stared blankly at the table, “I'm just going wherever the wind takes me.”His voi

    I stood paralyzed, staring at the empty space where Leonard had held his phone. The words I’d seen flashed behind my eyes like neon on a dark street: terminated, canceled.The silence in the opulent living room felt like a physical blow, heavier than the scream from last night. Leonard stood rigid,

  • Daddy, I found you a wife.   Chapter 20: Veronica’s POV

    The house was now truly a fortress. The gilded cage was complete.I took a deep breath. It was time to face the day. I dressed quietly, pulling on the simple clothes I packed. Angel woke up soon after, stretching and yawning."Vee stay?" She signed, her eyes still sleepy."I stayed, baby," I confirm

  • Daddy, I found you a wife.   Chapter 19: Veronica’s POV

    But before our mouths could meet, a sharp, insistent ringing sliced through the air. Not Leonard’s phone. The landline in the master study, loud and jarring. It was the sound of the outside war, crashing back in.Leonard pulled back instantly, his attention snapping from me to the outside world, the

  • Daddy, I found you a wife.   Chapter 18: Veronica's POV

    It was real that my eyes felt cold. I was no longer just scared; I was in a clear, hard panic that made me stop shaking and start to think. The rules broke. It wasn't just a rich man's house; I was stuck in a secret war, and the person who made my toast was a fighter.Leonard didn't turn away. He j
