Thanks a lot for your support and gems. Its heartwarming.
Zora’s mother was disinterested in the conversation, knowing that her husband could handle it. There was no need to feel guilty since Ezrah never treated their daughter like a wife. Now that she had her freedom and peace of mind, they would never allow Ezrah to ruin it for her. Zora’s father stared at Ezrah, an expression of shock and admiration on his face as he asked with interest, “You have proof that she isn’t dead? I’m also interested. After all, she is my daughter. Where is she? Give me her location, and let’s go find her.” If Ezrah said he had proof, the middle-aged man had no doubt it was so. Therefore, this was the best solution to come up with, neither agreeing nor disagreeing with Ezrah. Ezrah was having a headache as this was not the reaction he expected. “Stop pretending. Zora faked her death, and I believe you know something about it,” he accused, but the light in the middle-aged man’s eyes refused to dim as he stared at Ezrah with expectancy. “She did?” He turned to
Coco didn't understand Zora's reason for wanting to help, but she knew that Zane and Bianca's sidekicks wasted a lot of time searching for the inhaler. That time could have been used to rush Bianca to the hospital. However, Coco remembered that Zora had a very kind heart.That sassy and feisty personality only developed after the divorce and faking of her death."I need a napkin or towel, and honey," Zora yelled. One of the crew members came running towards her with a napkin."Here. I got one.""I got honey," another crew member yelled and ran towards her, while the rest watched like bewildered spectators.Zora took it and instructed, "Back up a little bit. Give her some air," pouring an amount of honey into the napkin, she instructed Bianca as she pressed it onto her nose."Breathe in through your nose, and out through your mouth."Bianca obeyed, but Zane was uneasy since Zora and Bianca were not technically friends. He was worried that Zora might worsen his fiancée's condition. Afte
“Are you sure about this?” Zane asked Bianca seriously, adding, “I already intended to reward her in cash. She’s a friend of Coco, meaning she might just be broke and did it to win your favor.”On the hospital bed, Bianca was upset by Zane’s words. Before now, all she thought about her was her fame and glamorous impending wedding. However, being on the verge of losing her life, she realized that there were more important things than fame and money.Being human mattered more than bossing people around. No one was able to help her except the very person Zane had fired because of her, so what if Mr. Newman had not intervened? Michelle would not have survived, so Bianca could have lost her life.“How can you even think that? If she wanted my favor, she wouldn’t have pulled my hair, and not after Mr. Newman stood up for her after you fired her. She saved my life, so giving up a role of 10 million is nothing. I already have two more scripts worth more than that and can still get more.”Zane
“So, what if I agree to help you grasp the script? Would you still refuse the offer?” Zora thought about the question thoroughly. This was going to stretch her as she never had a passion for acting but just decided to try it out because Coco proposed it.Suddenly landing a major role? What if she messed up the production? As the perfectionist she was, that would kill her.“No,” she replied over the phone. Everyone around was disappointed as they felt that she was the only deserving person there was. She saved Bianca and her audition was great.Bianca mused over the situation, took a deep breath before saying, “there is always a first time for everything. What if you go with the minor role and realize that you are even better than the one who took up the lead role? Trust me, you would regret it for the rest of your life.”Zora thought once more about her revenge plan. What if something goes wrong with her contract with Mr. Newman and she ends up on the losing side? At this moment, she
What Zora did not expect was for the man to project something from his phone. On the wall in front of her, there was a comatose man in a luxurious room, on a luxurious bed. There was a nanny attending to him, making her understand that he was watching through the CCTV cameras in his house.Zora was uneasy. “There is a camera in his bedroom? I want to have a separate room and also bring my friend along,” she placed her demand.Mr. Newman was slightly uncomfortable since there wasn’t going to be anything intimate. His reason for keeping the camera there was solely up to him.To not ruin the contract, he said, “The cameras were only installed there because he was single. If you sign the papers, it would be deactivated. As for your friend, we can make the arrangement.”Zora trusted him and therefore fished for a pen in her handbag, resisted a little, but signed the contract in the end. Then, she took a copy and gave one to Mr. Ne
“Mistress, it's dinner time and the table is set,” a maid said politely to Zora, who frowned a little. She had just come out of the shower, wearing loose, silky pants and pajamas. They were neither transparent nor tight. Due to the summer heat, she left her hair loose, opting not to use the dryer. Even in a loveless marriage, she was addressed as madam and mistress was inappropriate in a comatose marriage. Not hesitating, and as a woman who once managed a home, she corrected the maid. “Call me Madam. I’m not a mistress but Sebastian’s wife.” The maid was reluctant, as the nanny had instructed them in the kitchen not to address the woman as Madam, and also specified that Sebastian would send Michelle out of the house as soon as he woke up. She, who once wanted Sebastian dead, now wanted him to live just so he could kick Michelle out of the mansion. Since she was married to Sebastian by Mr. Newman, she couldn't be easily gotten rid of or manipulated. The nanny felt threatened by Mic
“Michelle, or whatever your name is, don’t you think you are stepping out of line?” Amir was cold and condescending, underestimating Michelle and feeling it was time to put her in her place. Michelle remained unfazed, knowing that Amir was powerless. “I think I need a pair of glasses because I don’t see a line drawn,” she said sarcastically. Coco and the maids giggled, and even though Amir glared at them, the maids put on serious expressions while Coco remained indifferent. “Feel free to be sarcastic, but stay away from the nanny’s affairs. I have decided that she joins us for dinner every night, and that is final,” Amir slammed his hand on the table in anger, causing Coco, the nanny, and the maids to panic. Zora, unfazed, spoke leisurely, “Really? Alright. As Sebastian’s wife and co-owner of this house, I declare that all maids and domestic workers join the dining table.” Amir glared at the maids, causing them to shiver. One of them spoke up, “But Madam, there isn’t enough food to
“Piper? What happened to her?” Ezrah asked worriedly from the other end of the line. He must have broken things off with Piper, but he still cared for her. She was his first love, and despite her constant disobedience, she never truly offended him.“I don’t know all the details, but I heard it was a suicide attempt. Her mother found her unconscious in the jacuzzi in a pool of blood. She had been feeling depressed lately, and we thought she would get over it. We never expected her to slit her fingers and await death.”Ezrah closed his eyes in deep thought. Why did all the women in his life resort to death as an escape from him? At least Piper was still alive. “Which hospital is she in?”There was a brief pause on the line before Mr. Henshaw replied. “You don’t have to come. It's a four-hour drive. I'll just check on her and arrange another day for the meeting,” he said sternly.Though he wanted Ezrah and Piper to get married, Piper’s obsession was out of hand, and he didn’t want to enc
