Not long after, Robert came in with the food in his hands. Alice was a little bit shocked as she was found pacing up and down in her room. She waited patiently to receive a scolding from him. Robert creased his eyebrow at the scene before him. She was supposed to be resting due to the pain she was feeling, but here she is pacing up and down for no damn reason. “ What do you think you're doing? Aren't you supposed to be resting by now? " Huh". “ Umm I'm sorry darling, I– I was just trying to exercise”. “ Exercise while being on medication?”. He said as he walked towards her and placed her gently on the bed. His heart raced a bit, she wasn't supposed to be stressing herself for anything because of the health of the baby. He had called his doctor on his way out and asked him the real reason behind her faints, and he had also advised that she rests well. “ Please for the sake of your health and our baby, don't do anything rash okay”. “ Alright, pinky prom
Robert pondered on it for a long while before giving in. It was a long process of thinking. He had the money but it was risky. If the movie doesn't sell he becomes at a loss. He knows Ivana's dad, he was a multi-millionaire, and most of his investment is nothing less than five hundred million dollars. How could he compete with someone like that? Spending money on some sort of things like that seemed tiring, but he could risk it as a form of investment. If the movie makes more sales and views he will have the largest profit. He couldn't just wait as he had already calculated his profit. “ Alright baby, but you promised to give the best of your acting right?”. “ Yes darling I will give my best” she said as she heaved a sigh of relief. “ That was close” she thought. “ Okay it's time for you to eat so you won't get hungry”. “ Alright, and thereafter we will go for a photoshoot. I need to get back to work”. she said as she dived into the plate of food like
Irene woke up feeling energetic . Today was the day. No more practicing, no more second-guessing—just her, the stage, and a room full of perhaps strangers deciding her fate.She sat up, rubbing the sleep from her eyes. Sunlight streamed through the curtains, showing her beautiful skin. "Relax, Irene," she whispered.She went through her morning routine as usual—shower, breakfast,light makeup. As she pulled on her best audition outfit—a simple, elegant purple dress. This wasn’t just another casting call. This was a call to take back everything she once lost. With her script tucked into her bag, she grabbed her phone and listened to soothing music to calm her nerves . Her own voice which she sang alongside the music filled the room. Strong. Determined. Ready.The car ride to the theater felt like a blur. She gripped the hem of her dress as the car got closer, silently mouthing her lines, blocking out the noise around her. When she stepped off, the towering doors of the audition hall l
Irene didn't expect that the audition would be that fast, and now it's her turn. Many of them were already wearing a gloomy expression. “ Guess you're next,” Akira chuckled nervously. “ Wishing you best of luck” coupled with a heart gesture. Irene smiled at her and heaved heavily before walking into the hall, at the back stage Irene removed her mask and walked in. It was a large hall meant for short display of drama, it had a stage designated for acting, its interior decor was one of a kind that spoke luxury. Each design was carefully picked and exuded elegance. There were paintings of different kinds around the hall, the panel of judges sat across the stage for the audition waiting to pass judgement in no time. The room was filled with a panel of judges from the prestigious Agency, known for launching the careers of some of the biggest names in the industry. Irene took a deep breath and introduced herself, sounding confident and charismatic."Hi, I'm Irene Flynn. It's ni
The news that Irene was back to the entertainment industry flew across the internet causing outburst of joy and excitement from fans and well wishers. Irene felt a little puzzled, it seems someone was behind this or it's just lady luck on her side. She kept scrolling her phone on the internet as she just created a new account, making massive followers flood in. “ Where have you been all this while my idol?”“ We miss you”“ Thank goodness you're back”. “ We'd like to know which movie you will be filming next” “ Our most amazing actress” “ We your fans never left you” “ Gosh! She's back, I'm so happy”. Irene blushed at the messages she kept seeing,in her world we're she felt left out, seeing tons of people missing her was a blessing, she felt loved and had hope again. Just then Olivia's calm came in. “ Hey Irene, You're back to the entertainment industry, congratulations once more. I'm so happy for you”.a voice filled with excitement and joy was heard from the other end. “ Yeah
Alice stomped out of the room in anger, she went to a secluded place and called Robert.One ring Two rings…but there was no answer from the other end. She decided to cool off and have nothing to do with Irene until she was done with her shoot.After a while she walked inside and noticed that Irene was done with her shoot, and was about leaving, she glared at her, she wished she could just do something to her at this point, but it wasn't possible at least to save face. She took her remaining photos, wrapped up with everything and rushed home to cry In the hands of her lover. As soon as she got home, she met Robert sitting on the chair in the living room, sipping his drink , watching the news as he clenched his fist in anger.“ Darling .. darling “ she called out severally before he could hear her. He switched off the television as to not anger her, but she had already seen it. It was the news that Irene is back to the entertainment industry. “ I'm back” she said as she beame
Irene woke up to get ready for another day in the life of an actress,Today she was going to the company to familiarize herself with it, Ava had texted her last night about coming to the company.She had to be extra careful now, but before then she had wanted to meet up with Olivia, so she arranged her bed, had breakfast and went out. On getting out, she had this uneasiness, she couldn't get over with. But she didn't have time to think about it as she rushed to get dressed and headed to the restaurant, disguising herself by wearing mask. She hailed a taxi and left in an instant. Today she was wearing a black joggers and a light pink top, adding vabriance to her skin. She entered the restaurant scanning her eyes around it until she met a particular figure, she smiled in satisfaction as she walked towards the table. “ Hey Olivia” she said beaming with smile as she sat down keeping her items on the table. “ Irene, How're you doing?” She replied in respect, as her heart leaped up wit
Irene's hand was tied behind her back as the thugs kept eyeing her, wanting to have something with her turn by turn. By now the injection should have worn out by now. The leader of the thug searched through his call log for a certain number and called Alice was in the sitting room having the time of her life, she had just gone shopping for her next movie shoot, she loves to look outstanding in her dresses so she puts in so much effort on looking good. Robert was not around, but he had promised to invest in the movie so she was definitely getting the female lead role without obstruction. She was loving this life of hers and she couldn't wait to get to her peak of career, she had so many fan lovers waiting for her and hoping for her wins, she couldn't let them down, she had taken care of Irene, she would disgrace her before she even knows it. She had asked them for a clip of the video so that at the moment when she thinks she's bouncing back, she will just ruin her career once and fo
He stepped on his accelerator as soon as he got out of the house. He had connected his device to the locator but hadn't activated it on his device. Soon he was able to locate her, he got to her apartment in no time but stayed far from her view. He didn't want to be caught so soon. He knew he was invading in her privacy but he couldn't help but feel sad, he just wanted to see her once again. Ava accompanied her in packing most of her things inside, seems like most of her furniture just came in and it'll be a whole workload for just her to get through with it.Inside Irene's new apartment, it was a spacious place with just two bedroom and a very large sitting room. it was convenient for just a person and besides the building was hers with a little garden at the back of her house. The thing she loved the most was the space inside of it, the well-trimmed flowers, the privacy that comes with each building without invading the others. " I never would have thought that this apartment w
She fainted. Everyone on the set rushed to Alice as they poured water on her face for her to stand up. She had exceeded her energy limit for today and besides she was pregnant which probably the crew members didn't know as she had concealed the information. Director wang hit his head in frustration as he stared at Alice who was partially conscious. —What was really her problem huh? She gets to display certain problems in each set that she's in. if she wasn't feeling okay why didn't she go to the hospital, first it was Ethan and now Alice. he thought. " Oh my Alice". Irene called out as she pretended to care, she raised her up. The water was a quick aid to make her wake up and now the last person Alice ever wanted to see was the first person that she saw when she opened her eyes. She didn't even have the energy in her to get angry as she stared at Irene with hatred. Irene playfully patted her face in care as she smirked in a way that only Alice could see it as if saying. — if you
Irene walked up to her scene as she met a very irritating scene in front of her. There were roses of flowers in Alice's hand and a few more close to her. She was feeling so shy at the moment and happy as she turned to the rest crew members who were giggling with her. Irene guessed that Robert would have brought the flowers for her to spite her the more but he failed as she had gotten over them both forever. " Hey Irene" Alice called out as she rushed towards Irene with a lovely smile on her face. Irene knew that beneath that smile was a devilish plot. By now people would have noticed that they didn't really get along as they used to. "They don't really talk to each other as much as the rumor says but why is Alice having nice to her"— one of the crew member said to another. " Right, I hate the guys of Alice, she would have been the cause of the whole issue, she's quite troublesome". " I don't believe that. Alice is so perfect and doesn't have issues with people no matte
It didn't take long before Irene got to the location for her shoot. Today she was going to act a talking scene where the guy requests for her trust as many didn't confide in him due to the fact that he brought a stranger to their hide out. Ava walked up to Irene in her dressing mirror as she admired her beauty but looked at her in a curious way. " What's with the look now?" Irene asked as she stared at Ava through the mirror. " Nothing I'm just looking at you... You didn't pick my call at a very trivial time and the rumor might have died down but you still need to be careful as you continue, try not to do anything that will agitate the fans and say it's true.... In all stay away from any scandal”. Ava advised as she tapped on Irene's shoulder in the most encouraging way ever. Irene smiled sheepily, she wouldn't lie ever since she had been in the acting career, she had always had the most supporting and encouraging managers. Olivia was a testament of a good manager, Irene
The sun shone bright as it peeked through the window. Irene woke up looking disheveled and unkept, her manager texted her, telling her that she had a shoot this afternoon. She slept so deep that she woke up late. This was past ten and she hadn't gotten dressed. She struggled out of the bed as she went to the bathroom. She had a very long scene today and it was barely talks. she was so excited but lazy at the moment. She yawned severally before getting started about her day. In the dining room, Alex sat down majestically as he held a book in his hands, glancing from each page to the next. He took today off as he felt like a family man, Irene was his responsibility for the moment. The maids set the dining for eating as Alex instructed—she should be awake by now. Just as he had thought Irene came downstairs from her room, she was looking more dashing than ever. Her long hair landing on her waist. She dressed simple today as she wore a short gown with her crocs for comfort. She was look
In the Flynn's houseMr Flynn sat in the living room as he took his time to watch the news today. He had been on a mission and he just came back so he wanted to meet up with what's going on. Right there the screen to the TV showed the latest news about Irene Flynn—his daughter.—IRENE FLYNN IS SAID TO HAVE SLEPT WITH A SECRET CEO TO HAVE BEEN ABLE TO BAG A ROLE IN DIRECTOR WANG'S PRODUCTION. This statement from the presenter made him clench his fist into a ball. “ What manner of..... Honey” he yelled as he suppressed his anger, gritting his teeth. “ Yes, I'm coming” Mrs Flynn responded as she walked out of the kitchen. She was an elegant, tall, good looking woman. One glance at her one could notice that Irene took her feature from her. She was one hell of a beauty. “ What's the issue this time?” she asked in an unsatisfied voice. They've clearly had an argument and she wasn't happy with him. “ Regarding your daughter's issue. Look at” he said as he pointed to the
Alex's heart squeezed as he saw her tears, he didn't like how she looked so sad before he could react, Irene hugged him and sobbed quietly. To Irene she was just a girl trying to meet ends meet, trying to leave to her parents that she can successfully be what she wants to be with her profession but instead people keep making it hard for her and it was overwhelming enough not to have a shoulder to cry on. Alex stood still, never letting go as he let her tears stain his suit,he wasn't used to comforting someone so he doesn't know what to say at the moment as he let her cry her heart out. After a while Irene cleaned her tears and stared at Alex as she chuckled and said. “ I'm sorry for staining your dress. I'll clean it for you” she went further to remove his suit as she took out a clean piece of clothing to clean it off. “ You don't need to do that” his deep voice reverberated as he sat carefully on her bed gesturing for her to sit down. Irene sat down cautiously as she stared at
She didn't shout loud so as to not draw attention to her because what she was shouting for was meaningless— The account she used in instigating some certain hate comments was disabled.Irene's fan base was not relentless as they reported whatever account that was portraying Irene in a negative angle. Alice's shock was that it had been long she came into the spotlight and her fan base is so supportive and defensive of her which was a thing to envy— She didn't just build fan base she built legacy. “ Is anything the issue Miss Alice?” her manager asked in concern since she was closer to her. " No nothing of sort, I just pressed something I wasn't suppose” she lied. “ Do you know why Irene isn't on set today?”. she added. “ I'm not so sure but if I'm correct I think the director wants to film other part of the scene before hers since she had a perfect take.”. “ This damn director!!” she muttered as she gritted her teeth in annoyance. Her anticipation of this movie wa
She cleared her throat in embarrassment as she recalled her acts last night— Okay yeah I agree but he shouldn't rub it on my face and I don't think that i was that influenced, she inwardly said as she went upstairs to look for a book to read to while away her time. " Phew!! that was close” Mr Gray said as he continued his duty just then Charles call came in. “ Did you disconnect it?” the other end said. “ Yes I did, we were fast enough luckily for. us”. Mr Gray reassured as the other hung the call In Xan Corporation. Alex was looking out the window, his expression not looking pleasant at all. Who dared to stain her name just after she came back to light?. His aura dangerous at the moment causing charles to sigh heavily. “ They were able to disconnect the TV but I guess her phone is accessible and she would find out anytime soon”. Charles stated as a matter of fact holding his breath together. The lady he thought his boss was going to get angry with at the first bump was someo
