Chapter 8FELIX "Sir, young master doesn't want to eat." Aiden's nanny told me.I took off my glasses and looked at the middle aged woman."What did he say was wrong? What is it this time?" I asked."He wouldn't write it for me, he just doesn't want to eat." She replied.I stood up and went to the dinning room to meet Aiden sulking.After the incident that morning, he had refused to allow me even touch him.He got discharged. I took him home and cancelled all my appointment for the day as I wanted to be with him. Jasmine wanted to come over but I told her not to because Aiden didn't like having her around.We both went home and throughout the ride home, Aiden didn't even give a glimpse at me.I was careless by making him leave on his own and not tell the butler to go after him.Whatever happened to him was because of my carelessness.When we got home, I put him to sleep.He woke up in the evening and I asked his nanny to cook dinner for him while I worked from home in my study room.
Chapter 9ISLAJust as I was coming out from the dressing room, I heard the workers on the set talking. I hid myself to listen to them."You know the female lead rival right? She's a sly fox. I pity for the real girl that got the position.She just came from nowhere and stole someone else's role.I don't think she'll be able to act properly though, the previous actress was good," One of them said."Yes, that girl Isla, she got her role through connections and her audition was for mere formality as it was already decided to give her the role," Another said.What? What were they talking about?I got this role through connection?What do they mean by that?I couldn't hold myself any longer, I made myself known to them.They immediately stopped talking when they saw me, they pretended to be doing something else."I heard what you were saying but I don't understand a thing you were talking about. What do you mean the audition was just for formality sake and I got my role through connection
Chapter 10PHOEBE"Hey babe." Joe walked up to meet me. Joe usually does come to my shooting site anytime he had the chance.Our relationship was made public so, everybody knew we were both dating.Joe and I have been dating for the past five years and he hasn't spoken anything about our wedding plans.He seemed to me he didn't have any marriage plans with me but I wasn't going to let that happen.I'm going to make him marry me. Now that Isla was back, I was a bit nervous.Before I came into the picture, he had loved her and during the years we have been dating, I've caught him more than twice staring at the picture of Isla. Even the pictures they took on their dates, smiling.On some occasions, he would call her name in his sleep when I touched him.He called her name instead of mine. Anytime I confronted him if he still liked her, he would avoid answering by changing the topic."I thought you said you had a meeting that you wouldn't be able to make it here today," I said.He smiled
Chapter 11PHOEBEI got down from the bed with my body without clothes.I picked up my clothes that were everywhere in the room. I went to the bathroom afterwards. I had my bath and wore the baby robe in the bathroom.I came out with my hair dripping wet.I took the hair dryer and sat in front of the mirror and dried my hair.I looked at the bed and as usual, Joe wasn't on the bed. He was gone.I have never woken up to see Joe sleeping by my side. He would always be gone the moment I open my eyes.On several occasions, after sex, he would get ready and leave. We never cuddle to sleep.I was more like those slut that they have their steamy nights with and the men just fling money at them and leave.The only difference here is that, he is my boyfriend and he doesn't throw money at me after sex.But still, I felt angry. It felt so unfair.I took my phone and went to my Instagram. I posted pictures and videos of me on the set of today's drama. Under my caption, I asked for lots of love.
Chapter 12JASMINEI had tried calling Felix but he wouldn't answer my calls. I just returned from the office but he wasn't there, he didn't even let me know that he would be unable to come to or maybe he had an appointment outside the office.But still, he could have let me know because I told him that I will be coming over to the office.I went over to his house but I didn't meet him or Aiden. The butler told me he went out."You know that's not the answer I'm looking for, Jay." I eyed him.He took out his phone and showed it to me. It was a location."Ever since that incident that happened to Aiden, sir Felix bought a wristwatch tracker and put a tracker in Aiden's phone too.He shared it with me too. Sir Felix and Aident went out together so, they should be together." The butler explained.I looked at the location but I wasn't familiar with the place. It wasn't a place that Felix usually went to. For him to have taken Aiden along, it wasn't about business.I got into my car and dr
Chapter 1Isla"What do you think you're doing with my sister, Joe?" I asked with a clearly shocked look on my face. They were in a fancy restaurant and I didn't want to cause a scene.Too many eyes were on us too.Phoebe and my fiance were smiling and were holding hands across the table. I thought upon seeing me there, they would let go of their hands but I was wrong.Joe didn't look even a bit remorseful."What does it look like we are doing? We having a fancy dinner date." Phoebe replied with a scoff.Joe smiled at Phoebe and kissed the back of her palm. "I don't want to cause a scene here so please can we go out and talk?" I asked gently but I was trying so hard to hold myself from yelling and pulling out Phoebe's hair."There's nothing to talk about, Isla." Joe replied. It was the first time he was saying something since I stepped into this place."What are you saying Joe? Our wedding is on two weeks time but you're here on a fancy dinner date with my sister and you say there's
Chapter 2ISLA"You still don't get, do you? The reason I broke up with you was because you cheated. The man you slept with weeks back wasn't me. Go find the man you had a one night stand with!" Joe yelled to my face.My hands shook as I tried to drink the water on the table but it gave up and the cup fell and broke.My heart was beating loudly and faster, my head was spinning in circles as I tried to understand what exactly Joe meant."What are you talking about? We went to a party together and we got drunk. I remember you taking me to the hotel room and when I woke up, I was naked under the covers.Even if you weren't there by the bed side, I knew it was you." I explained desperately.Let this be a prank."Is this a prank or a lie just to avoid being responsible? I thought you'd be happy about our baby and I thought we liked each other enough to want to have a child together." I added."It wasn't me in the room. We both got drunk, yes. But I left you to use the restroom but when I c
Chapter 3PHOEBEI was twelve years old when dad brought in his mistress daughter, Isla who was nine years old.Mom hated the idea of bringing in Isla but her cute puppy eyes couldn't be ignored. Her mother had just lost her life to cancer and there was no one to take care of Isla.Dad had to take her in. Since dad is wealthy, Isla got to live like a princess. Dad didn't like her that much and I knew.She wasn't pampered like I was but she wasn't mistreated either. But she didn't experience parents love.I liked Isla at first and I was close to her. She looked pitiful and I felt sorry for her that she didn't have a mother anymore.We played as children and we were close.But I started to dislike her when I was starting to get compared with her which was in high school. I was two classes ahead of her but we still got compared.She went on competition and won medals for the school and herself.She was pretty and boys were always hovering around her. She seemed to get all the attention
