“Don't you get it? We are going to die! We are all dead! This is not the end, this is the beginning of our misery!"

“And… cut!” The director's words cut through the air, and the camera’s recording light went off.

"That was great, Carter!”

“Get it, girl! Get it, girl!" Members of the production crew there laughed and clapped at my acting.

We had been shooting for four hours straight with only brief breaks for outfit changes.

I sighed and wiped away the fake tears and blood on my face, then grabbed a bottle of water from one of the staff members, extending their hands to me.

Julius, my co-actor, smiled and nodded at me before turning away.

I began to walk away from the scene and towards the set-up tent.

A staff member trailed behind me with a small fan, and another walked towards me with a makeup box in hand.

“You did well, Miss Carter. I wasn't wrong about you," the director said when he approached me.

I looked up and nodded my head.

"I look forward to doing more work with yo

    ALEXANDER I smiled widely as I stared at my palm. Her touch still had a tingling sensation around my hand, and I didn't want it to stop. I remembered that look on her face when that man talked about our marriage back at that damn meeting. She looked like she would puke at that table. It was still impossible to believe that she was the one who held me, who hugged me, and let me love her. “Are you there, sir?” My smile fell and my head jerked up when my secretary's voice snapped into my ear. "Yes,” I muttered. "What should we do, sir? Should I call for a meeting now?” He asked. I looked at the closed door from where I stood and my chest clenched. This was about my company's stocks but I couldn't just leave her there alone. I had to be by her side and protect her from danger and pain. I gulped hard and slammed my eyes shut, taking a deep breath at the decision I had made. “Schedule the meeting for tomorrow," I answered. “What? But–" “I'll call you tonight," I cut him off and

    ASHLEY I shivered and winced as the nurse applied antiseptic to the small cuts after taking out the splinters in my palm. She smiled warmly at me and covered the wounds with a plaster. “It's not that bad, right?" Alex suddenly asked and the nurse turned her attention towards him. “No, it's not," the nurse replied. Alex sighed and squeezed my shoulder, leaning closer to stare at my palm closely. He had been sitting beside me since the nurse started dressing the wounds and hadn't left my side, even for a second, and he hadn't taken his eyes away from my face. He was always whispering soothing words to me whenever the pain struck. “You don't have to be so worried about me, I'm fine now," I muttered but he shook his head. “No, I'm fine being here, besides, I would be home if I wasn't here," he said and my brows raised. “Then… you should have gone home," I replied. The smile on his face faded and his eyes darkened at my words. I could see his fist clench and his eyes narrow in a

    LILIANThe phone rang and I jerked my head up from the script I was reading. I got up and walked towards the phone then accepted it and placed the phone to my ear.“Hello?" I answered, darting my eyes over to the wall clock."Are you ready to send it?” His voice pierced into my ear and my heart dropped. I clenched my fist and cursed under my breath, slamming my eyes shut."What do you want?” I asked in a hoarse voice."Money!” The voice boomed and rage washed through my body.I sighed and ran my hand over my forehead, trying hard not to swear at him."I gave you money last week! Do you think I make money every day?” I groused loudly.My heart jumped and my skin crawled when I heard a shatter from the corridor.I looked at the closed door and slowly crept up to it, then opened the door slightly. I poked my head out and looked around the empty corridor, my heart racing wildly."Who is there?” I asked but no one answered.My children had gone to school and Alex was at work. The housekeep

    ASHLEY My lashes barely batted as I stared at his flushed face with a heart that raced like it would explode in any second. “Montgomery? Won't you sit?" Someone spoke and I tore my gaze away from him. “I apologize for being late," he muttered and walked towards me then slumped down into a chair beside me. I shuddered and frowned deeply, my heart twisting in anger. My hand, which was wrapped around the glass of wine, shook as the men turned their attention towards Alex and asked him questions about his plummeting company stocks. I looked at my father and noticed how quiet he had gotten. I guessed he wasn't expecting the son of a bitch at the gathering too. He was the youngest among them all and spoke the most, replying to every single question fired at him. I gripped the glass tighter whenever he spoke and turned to look at me. Half of the time, his eyes were fixed on me, and the other half was spent talking and glancing at my father and the men there. “How is your wife? I h

    ASHLEY I adjusted my dress and applied lip gloss on my lips then straightened up and got up. I walked out of the room and headed down the stairs, sighing loudly as the car honked outside. “I'll be there!" I yelled at whoever was outside and turned off the TV before reaching for the knob. I got out of the room and walked to the car parked at the front of the house. I walked towards the car and poked my head in, my eyes narrowing to my father who was seated at the passenger's side. "Good morning, father,” I greeted and he turned his head in my direction. His face lit up, and he chuckled loudly, then reached forward towards me. “Come inside, my dear, come inside," he waved his hand at me. I forced a smile onto my face and nodded. "Hold on, let me lock up,” I said and spun around for the door. I locked the door and headed out of the porch then walked into the car. We didn't say a thing to each other until the driver had driven a good mile away from my apartment. "How was you

    ASHLEY The look on his face was indescribable. He looked like he had seen a ghost, or as if he had just heard the date he would die. “What? Why are you so surprised?" I asked in a casual tone that got him even more pale. “You… I… I…" he stuttered as his hand waved from me to him. He was trying so hard to comprehend my words. “You… Did you just say you'll be my girlfriend?” He asked, his voice almost breaking. I was at the brink of laughing out loud at how he looked but I held myself back, still deceiving him with that unreadable face. "I didn't say I will be your girlfriend, I only gave you an example of the people you could ask,” I said calmly. He gasped and blinked back tears. His actions shocked me to the core and I couldn't help but snap my head back in shock. "Why are you acting like you just got the best news ever?” I questioned, unable to hold back anymore. He chuckled and began to move towards me, a large grin on his face. “Because this is the best news ever!" He h
