All Chapters of Reclaiming My Life: Chapter 11 - Chapter 19

As the premiere started, Giselle seemed bothered as Damian sat beside her. She couldn't push him away since people are everywhere, especially her co-stars of her movie. She glanced at Ellie’s direction and saw that she looks worried as they exchanged eye contact. Giselle's hands started fidgeting and she just couldn't focus on the event knowing that the person she hated the most right now is right beside her, sitting and putting up faces so the public wouldn't be suspicious of their marital status. During the twenty minutes of the movie, she stood up and excused herself. Damian held her wrists, looking up at her, “Where are you going?” he asked.Giselle ignored him and didn't answer. She immediately walked out from the backroom where no one could see her. The man from earlier was standing the whole time from the back and saw her pass her by. He walked after her and called“Hey, wait!” I turned around and saw the man from earlier. Giselle frowned. “Leave me alone,” she stated an

I stared at myself in the mirror as I fixed my make up and hair. I am wearing a casual yet elegant looking outfit for my dinner with Cale. The memories where I went on my first date with Damian often came to mind. And I hate the fact that I kept remembering it. My phone pings abruptly so I picked it up to check my notifications. It's just random people tagging and privately messaging me. Some are asking for my side of the story and some are just plainly hating me. I turned my phone to ‘do not disturb’ and shut it down. Victoria has already done a lot of damage to my image. And I don't think she'll stop anytime soon. My heart sank as I thought of it. All of this happened to me because I trusted and loved my husband.I placed my phone on the drawer so I won't be tempted to look at it and see what people are gonna say about my issue. Tonight, I wanted to know everything about myself, even though there's another person involved. I have to keep in mind that I'm going to dinner with C

I received an invitation for the exclusive gala. The host and organizers only select a few celebrities and, fortunately, I am part of it. These types of parties are a great opportunity to meet new people and to increase your social status in the entertainment industry. A lot of famous people are invited here too. For instance, veteran actors and actresses, top models, fashion designers, singers, and even producers. They held these kinds of galas every year. Since it's exclusive, I can't even bring a plus one. But it would be nice to bring Ellie with me if I had a chance. Days passed by, and I arrived at the venue. I only saw a few paparazzi around. They took photos before I went inside. The lights are glowing in a vintage way. I greeted every single one I knew as soon as they noticed me. “Giselle! So glad you made it!” Alexandria Chepliev greeted me, she's the main reason why such galas existed in the first place. She owns a huge business empire throughout the country, especially

After a late night of work, I was about to go home when I noticed Cale right there in the parking lot. He's sitting on the hood of his car while scrolling through his phone. “Hey,” I called to get his attention. He immediately looked in my direction and smiled. “Hey,” he said and walked towards me. I was about to ask him a question about what he was doing here, hanging out in the parking lot by himself, when he abruptly gestured with his hands, “May I carry your things for you?”“Uhm…” That was the only word I could utter as I stared at his hands. I was completely speechless by his actions. I know I agreed to see him for a social experiment, but this is quite sudden for me. He slightly tilted his head, looking at me confused. I awkwardly smile, “I got this. Don't worry.” “No, it's okay.” He insisted, “The only thing I could do to fulfill my role is to make everything look convincing. How else will you make your husband furious if our ‘affection’ doesn't look realistic?” I blinked
