“He tried so hard to replicate the real thing, it’s impressive…well I’m back now, and your services are no longer needed.” Myra knows this is the end of her and Pierce, seeing the girl who looks strikingly similar to her holding his arms in the hospital. No amount of hoping she can win him over, and living in a world of delusion can make the multi billionaire CEO, Pierce Blackwood hers. To him, she’s just a stand-in, after all. When Pierce’s ‘true love‘, Tami, returns, Myra knows it’s time to step away. There’s no need to humiliate herself anymore when the man she loves clearly has his attention on someone else. Determined to reclaim her dignity, Myra breaks up with Pierce, blocks his number, and decides to leave the past behind. But just when she thinks she’s free, Pierce corners her once again, unwilling to let go. “Are you done with this tantrum? Now come home with me.”
View More“Today really sucks huh?” Hannah sympathized. I let out a disgruntled breath in response. Since I joined her at our spot, I had planted my head permanently on the table with my eyes closed. To open them would mean I acknowledged my existence, and if I did, then my thoughts would stray to my evening with Pierce. And God, I wanted nothing more than to forget how willingly I gave myself to him. “And you refuse to tell me what Pierce did this time?” She poked my arm with a perfectly manicured finger.“I don’t wanna talk about it.” My voice came out muffled.“Gelato?”I propped my head up with my palms and watched as she gently pushed a bowl towards me. Pistacchio flavored. I grabbed a spoon.“You’re not ready to talk about Pierce, so let’s talk about work.”I let out a defeated groan and planted my head on the table again. Hannah chuckled, “Oh come on.”“My life so far has been one mistake after the other.”“Oof, that’s a bit harsh.”I raised my head. “I went through my script, Hannah
Pierce stepped out of the shadows as he pushed his phone into his pocket. “Myra, I apologize for not being here to welcome you. I had to take a call.” He slowed to a stop opposite me.My heart sped up and I was arrested by his piercing gaze. The fairy lights cast a glow behind him giving him a look of an God with a halo around his head. A rugged one that would only drag me into the debts of hell.His hands rose gently to my face and caressed my nose gently, chasing the thought of him as a deity to the back of my mind.“Did you just boop my nose?”His lips twitched upwards in humor. “I thought you spaced out. You look beautiful as always.”I looked down at my pants, sweater and sneakers combo. It was hardly what Pierce would classify as beautiful, but I smiled. A compliment was a compliment. “So, what are we doing here?”He stepped to the side giving me a proper view of the gazebo again. Then he waved his hand like he was ushering me forward. Fighting the flutters in my stomach I wa
Jace was darn near bursting, it momentarily got my mind off my own dilemma. Jace being mad was definitely a favorite pastime.“She is not. My sister.” He said stiffly, just as Lily’s cheeks colored.Jeremy’s laughter died down as he looked between them, no doubt embarrassed he made the mistake.“She's actually mine…” I added with a sympathetic smile. “Oh, my bad…The way they were arguing, I thought…my mistake.”“It’s nothing to worry about.” I assured him. “Right, Jace?”“Nothing.” “I mean, if we’re being sentimental she would be a perfect little sister to you.” I grinned at him. “Thank God she’s not, I would’ve shipped her to France.”“I’d rather be in France than here with you.” Lily muttered as she chipped pieces of the table.Hannah turned the concoction she was making into one of the empty glasses and pushed it towards Lily and winked. She muttered her thanks. “I should return these, in case the bartender needs ‘em.” She packed up the shakers and hurried away from the table.
“To the main lead.” Hannah said and raised her shot glass.” This outing was another one of her ideas, after I told her about the successs of my forced interview.Even now it felt unreal that my plan had worked. “Ehyyyyy” Lily chanted but blushed and looked away when Jace glared at her like she was an alien. I smacked his head and rolled my eyes, “can you stop bullying my sister? Let her be happy for me.” Then to my sister, “Lily, I don’t care if we’re celebrating the birth of Christ, you’re not drinking alcohol in front of me.” I chided as I motioned for her to drop her full glass.She grumbled but did as she was told. Hannah chuckled. “There’s apple juice if you want, I’ll make a mocktail for you. Lets go get some fancy cups.” She offered, and Lily’s smile returned.“Look at you, you’re glowing.” Jace said while Lily and Hannah were gone.“Why wouldn’t I be, I just got the job of the century!”“Just admit you’re happy that you’ll still see my face.” He joked.My smile faltered re
When I had collected my breath, I moved gingerly to the back of the building. There had to be a back entrance.Found it!The parking area looked empty. Unless someone was in the car watching me break into the building. No it wouldn’t be breaking in, I had a keycard.As I walked to the door, I prayed it would work.I pressed it to the door and waited for the click.ClickI sighed and pushed the door, sliding between, before I shut it. Now I just had to find room B4. I weaved around the building, doing my best to avoid passing workers. Finally, I found the door I was looking for.When I walked it, I was stunned by all the activities. Everyone seemed to be busy with something that I looked odd just standing there.A man walked past me going through a list, unaware of the intruder-me. I needed to find the audition area.I heard a booming voice from a microphone.“Again Felicity. I need you to show passion. That man opposite you is the love of your life; I need to know it from looking at y
I pushed Adams away from me, stumbling backwards. “Why did you do that?”He looked surprised by my reaction. “I’m sorry, I guess I’m still moving too fast for you, but I-I thought we were there already.”“Where?” I asked him confused. He ran his fingers through his hair, messing up the perfect sleek. “Don’t play this game Myra, it’s time to be serious.““Adams I am serious, and I’m not in the mood to have someone else make me look stupid for not knowing something, so please enlighten me.”“The flirting, you finally share your problems with me, you asked about my relationship status…I get that you’re shy and trying to be ladylike by not being forward- ““Adams…”“-and now that Pierce has had his fill of you, we can finally be together.““What did you say to me?”“Don’t worry Myra,” He said hurriedly. “I don’t judge you for it. I understand why you were with him.” He moved towards me and tried to grab my hand.“I was WITH him, because I love him.”“I told you Myra, I understand, you d
Myra’s PovWhen I entered the party venue my eyes roamed the room searching for Pierce-no, for Adams or Jace. “Hey pretty woman.” Adams said as he approached me with Jace by his side. He gave me a quick hug before he stepped aside. This was the first time I was seeing Jace since failing my interview, but I had spoken to him on the phone.He punched my shoulder gently. “Better luck next time.” ”Thanks. When’s your callback audition?”It was then I saw Pierce. My heart ached as I had missed him. A lot. Fake relationship or not, I loved having Pierce around me.My lounging turned into anguish as I watched him brush a strand of hair from Tami’s face and lean into her, intimately. Her smile brightened even further. It tore through me like a knife. I looked away before I could witness more, like Pierce kissing her. “…so I won’t be here for long. I’ll have to get back home early.”“To practice your lines?” Adams asked,“No, to take a long nap, sleep is important.”“Are the both of you
“No, you’re supposed to be my voice of reason.” I panted as I stepped away from the punching bag and sat on the fake grass carpet of the gym, resting my head on the wall behind me. I could feel my good hand begin to throb from the exertion. “Where’s the ‘you think you should tell him about the pregnancy’ or the ‘there’s no way he’s getting married, you’re blowing it out of proportion’. I get nothing from you.”Hannah abandoned the punching bag and came to join me on the floor. “The way I see it, you had a sucktastic day yesterday; you just need to vent today; we can worry about logic tomorrow. Besides, do you actually want me to start on the pregnancy issue again?”“No.”“Good, how’s the morning sickness?”“Gone.” Thank you, God. I still hated mangoes though but would not barf after I got a whiff of them. What a sad life. “And how do you feel now? Are we still angry at article writers around the world?”I smiled. “Only a little bit.”In truth, I wasn’t angry at the article, Isabel, o
As I stepped out of the building, I tried to hail a cab but they kept passing me like I wasn’t even there. A particular cab sped along the road with his hornblaring and I stepped back quickly, to avoid being hit and instead, collided into a solid chest. “I would recognize that blond mane anywhere.” The owner of the solid chest said smoothly. “Adams? What are you doing here?” I asked, confused. “I came to see a friend in the area, I though I should grab a snack around here and here we are. You look like you had a bad day, did the interview…”I shook my head bleakly. Adams sighed and grabbed my hand. “Let’s get you some comfort food.”“What do you know about comfort food?” I grunted but followed him.Thirty minutes later and I had down a burger the size of his fist while I explained what happened. “You seemed pretty prepared Myra, what happened?I could not tell him that I was thinking of Pierce and Tami, “I just… I blanched okay, I got really nervousand just-I forgot the lines, my
