Themis' POV"From now on, you are going to drive me anywhere I want to go." Mrs. Wesley said to me while we were inside my car going back to their house."H-Huh? But I still have to go to work, Mrs. Wesley. That only means there would be times when I wouldn't be able to drive you to wherever you want to go.""I don't care. You don't even have any money when you married my daughter. At least you can return the favor that our family is giving you by serving as my driver. You know you can't complain because our family feeds you." She said again.I just heaved a sigh and continue driving until we finally reached their house. Mrs. Wesley even told their butlers and maids not to help me with the things that she bought. I don't even know why she was doing that to me, but for sure, it has something to do with my position and my status."Mrs. Wesley, I will go home now," I said politely.She turned around and looked at me. "Make sure to go here early tomorrow before you go to the company build
Winter's POV"Excuse me, can you repeat that part again?" Ian said to me for the fifth time.We were already doing a script reading for the new movie that I have to do with him, even though that's the last thing I want to do. "I already read that part a hundred times now," I said, irritated."Then repeat it again. At least pour some emotions into it."I was about to yell at him, but then Haley stopped me by holding my arm. Right. There are so many cameras around us, so I have to behave well. And aside from that, he keeps on threatening me he would spill my past if I don't agree with what he wanted me to do. What a pain in the ass.I covertly rolled my eyes as I heaved a sigh and started reading that line in the script once again.We kept on repeating that until he got satisfied and the script reading finally ended. "We're finally done! We will begin shooting the first episode next week!" said the director to us."Olivia, give me my bag." "Y-Yes, Miss Winter.""So, see you next we
Winter's POV"What are you cooking?" I asked when I saw Matthew in the kitchen. He then stopped what he was doing and looked at me. "Oh, you're already awake. I'm just making pancakes. Do you want some?""No, thanks. I won't eat anything you made." I said then I sat down. "I understand."The maids prepared my breakfast while Matthew also sat down with me. I raised my brow while looking at him. "And who told you you can sit here with me?""Huh?""I hate it when someone joins me while eating breakfast. You can go to your room or to the living room to eat your stupid breakfast.""You don't want to have breakfast with me?""That's right. I don't want to eat with someone like you. So, go ahead and leave me alone here."He nodded his head as he stood up and brought his plate to the living room.At least he obeyed what I said. Seeing him pissess me off a lot. Good thing I don't have a taping with the other asshole today, so I won't be able to see Ian."Miss Winter, where are we going today
Themis' POVWinter and her assistant have been following me since I left this morning. I don't know what their reasons are, but she's probably trying to know something about me. One of these days, I'll expect her to hire a personal investigator to watch over me every single day. I need to give her assurance that I am not doing anything fishy. She needs to believe all the lies that I told them."She followed you yesterday?""Yes, I think she still has doubts about me. One of these days, for sure, she'll hire someone to watch my every move."Mr. Wesley nodded his head as he spoke. " I see. Winter is really a smart kid ever since. She always has doubts about the surrounding people. I can't blame her, though. But don't worry, Matthew. I will help you with that. You also have to be careful from now on. Maybe she could even put a listening device to one of your things, so you need to be extra careful.""I understand, Mr. Wesley.""By the way, I've heard that ever since you came, our sales
Winter's POV"Cut!" the director shouted as soon as we were done shooting the first part.I immediately moved away from Ian and asked Olivia for alcohol to wipe myself since I just touched the devil. "Are you that allergic to me?" Ian asked me sarcastically upon seeing me wiping the hands that he just touched. "Uh-huh."He laughed. "I should be the one wiping my hands from touching you. We both know who has the dirtiest hands here."I almost slapped him from saying that, but I held myself back. I just widened my eyes at him and glanced around to see if somebody actually heard him say that. Good thing Olivia was the only one standing beside me."Shut the fuck up." I whispered to Ian, who just smirked at me.He really keeps on bringing that up whenever I annoy him. If only I could do something for him to stop bringing that up. Why do I even have to meet him again?"Miss Winter, do you want to have some water?" Olivia suddenly asked me."No, thanks."After a few minutes, we began filmi
Themis' POVJust like what Mr. Wesley told me the last time we talked to each other, Winter really assigned a private investigator to watch my every action. Good thing the investigator introduced himself to me since his boss is also Mr. Wesley. He said he just did what Winter told him to do so she wouldn't get mad."Master Themis, based on the information that I have gathered, the CEO of Hansel Corporation happened to be near the venue of the party twenty years ago. He and his family have been so quiet about the issue, too. As if they don't want to disclose information about what happened and what they did there. Also, these are the other person of interest." one of my trusted men and private investigator, James, said to me as he placed a pile of papers including different profiles of possible people that has something to do with the killings that happened twenty years ago."I understand. Thank you, James. I will take a look at those papers later when I'm done with my work. Also, how'
Themis' POVI was able to catch Winter while she was trying to investigate inside my room. I just pretended I had no clue about what she was doing so she wouldn't be so suspicious of me anymore.I knelt down and reached for the box under my bed. I had to lock my door first before finally putting that on my bed and opening it. Anyway, it has nothing important in it except the stuffed toy that mom gave me back when Tim and I were still kids. All the other things were papers from Mr. Wesley's company. I decided to put the teddy bear inside the closet, but as I was about to put it there, a photo fell to the floor. It came from the shirt that the bear was wearing. I quickly picked that photo only for me to realize that it was actually a photo of me, Timothy, and Belle.The photo was taken back when we were just kids. That time when Belle said she misses her parents so much. That is why in the photo, I was consoling her by patting her head while Tim was posing in front of the camera.Tim m
Themis' POV"Matthew, you should wake up now. Matthew."I slowly opened my eyes and saw Winter's face staring back at me while still wearing black lingerie. Her hair was falling down on her shoulders.Winter?Wait, what is she doing here in my room early in the morning?I immediately sat up on my bed and had to blink a few times before realizing I was seeing Winter in front of me. "W-Winter? W-What are you doing here?""I'm just here to wake you up. You still have work today, right?" she said in a sweet voice."H-Huh?"Winter smiled, then she run her fingers through my hair to fix it. I almost pushed her away."W-What are you doing?""I was just fixing your hair. Come on, you should already take a shower now, then let's have our breakfast," she said as she stood up without removing the smile on her face.She walked toward the door and was about to go outside, but then I called her."W-Winter.""Huh? What is it? Do you need something?""What's happening? I mean, is there a problem?"Sh
