Just as I was walking down the stairs, I saw Ryan walking into the house and Mary taking his bag, and I rolled my eyes. She always tried her best to make her presence known to Ryan. “Where are you going? he asked. “Good to see you too. You know, after such a long time of not seeing each other,” I replied sarcastically as I rolled my eyes. “It was just one week, Eliza,” he said with an amused gaze, and I scoffed out loud. I did not fail to see the look of dissatisfaction on Mary’s face; even after six whole months passed, she still kept her hopes up. “Are you going to tell me where you are going?” He asked again. “Why don’t you ask the personal assistant you sent to spy on me?” I said as I walked past him with attitude, and I heard his loud laughter as I walked out, contrary to what I was expecting. I was not really angry; in fact, I knew I was not supposed to, but I felt flattered that Ryan wanted to be informed of my whereabouts. It was just fun giving him attitude. I understoo
We slowly pulled away, and I looked at him with idignation. “What is wrong with you? Someone might have seen us,” I said with an angry look as I puffed my cheeks while he just chuckled. “So what? I will be glad if others see,” he said as he made his way to the driver's seat while I entered the car. "You are so insufferable. I puffed my cheeks. “Let’s go public. I want everyone to know that you are married to me. I don’t want small actors lusting over my wife,” he said as he looked at me with a darkened gaze, and I rolled my eyes at his jealous antics. “Is this about Garret? How many times do I have to tell you that he does not feel that way towards me?” I said this after I let out a frustrated sigh. “You would not know because you are blind, but as a man, a very smart man to be exact, how can I not know when someone has feelings for my wife?” he said as he drove off. "He knows I am married, so even if he does have feelings, he won’t try anything,” I said, finally giving into his
“Welcome once again to Celebrity Homes. Now that all our invited guests have arrived at the home of Johnson Larrey, whom you all know and love, we are going to finally reveal the surprise guest who you have all been waiting for.” The host said so, and I looked forward to it. “The first surprise guest is..." The host did not complete his statement just to build up excitement in the audience. “Zeke Harry,” he said, and Sarah Lindsey immediately started screaming. Even though I could not lie, I was also very excited. Although Garret was the movie king of the year, Mr. Zeke had been the movie king for multiple years; he had a really deep condition in the acting industry and was around Melisa’s age, in his mid-forties. “So nice to meet you, Mr. Zeke. Can I get your autograph?” She asked excitedly and motioned for him to sign it at the back of her shirt. "Sure, I just need a pen,” he said with a smile, and her eyes widened anxiously. “Pen, I need a pen!” She shouted, causing Johnson’s w
Two days had already passed. We slept over at Sarah Lindsey’s house on the second day, and on the third day we went to Mr. Zeke’s house. Today it was going to be Lisa’s house. And I could sense her excitement. Even though Mr. Zeke was a very rich and well-known actor, he was also known for his humility. Because he was still single and had adopted just one child, he did not go overboard with his house; therefore, Lisa concluded that she was the one with the largest home. We got to the gate of the villa, and as expected, there was a reaction from Sarah, but Mr. Zeke and Johnson acted more reserved. “Your house looks lovely, Lisa." Sarah complimented, and Lisa smiled humbly, but deep inside, she was happy with that compliment; she probably even expected more. If only they knew that it was my parents who owned the villa in the first place. We walked through the large door and into the house. "Welcome, Miss Lisa,” a butler said, and I looked at him in shock, since when did they have a
“What did you just say?” She asked, looking shocked as his knees almost buckled beneath her feet. “I am pretty sure that you heard me clearly, Lisa,” I said to her as I crossed my arms while looking at her with a smug expression. “So you did get married; why, Eliza? Why would you do such a thing without involving only family?” She said it angrily, and I had to give it to her; her acting was becoming more and more impressive. “Eliza I was not mad at you when you asked my dad to make you the CEO of the company; I was not mad at you when you asked for the house, but this time, you have gone overboard with your willfulness,” she said while looking angry. Everyone around just watched us; Johnson and Zeke looked worried on our behalf, while Sarah looked like she was lipping the drama. Of course, the director and the host were both living for the drama, and because of it, I am sure the views would have doubled. I was pretty sure that my aunt was viewing us, and she must be so mad, which m
As I ran my hands through the keys of the piano, I got lost in the music and began to sing as well. “Moonlit memories, a dance with the unknown, In the verses of the wind, our stories are sown. The pain of goodbye, the joy of hello, In the lyrics of life, we find where we grow. Through the echoes of the past, I'll find my way. a symphony of courage, breaking through the grey. With every note, a journey unfolds. In the rhythm of life, our story's told.” I sang with my eyes closed as I resonated with the lyrics my mother formed. She has always wanted to be a musician, and that was why my dad established the company—he wanted to see her shine. But when it was time for my mom to actually pursue her dreams,she backed out because she was scared of failure. She died without being able to share her amazing talents. How sad. That was why I decided not to be cowardly again, because I did not know when I was going to die, just like my mom also did not know that her death day was near
My uncle and aunt look so infuriated by my actions, while the other shareholders just look puzzled. “What is going on here, and who is she?” The second-largest shareholder asked, which caused my uncle to look a little bit flustered. “She is a nobody, and neither is she a shareholder,” my uncle said with a boot-looking expression, and I smiled. I could not help but anticipate the big reveal. My body was literally itching to throw the property papers at his face, but I had to choose the right moment to do it so that I could be dramatic and satisfying. “Leave now!” Lisa, who had been on her good behaviour, suddenly hit the table and shouted. She pointed at the door, gesturing for me to leave, and I literally laughed out loud at how naive she was. Did she really think that I was going to leave just because she said so? “I would go if you gave me a valid reason.” I smiled smugly. “Of course I have so many!" Lisa laughed angrily. “Number one, you are not a shareholder, and number two,
As I got home and parked my car by the driveway, my aunt kept calling me. With annoyance, I asked my personal assistant to pick up the call. “What do you want now?” I asked angrily. “Should you not be taking care of your husband?” I asked sarcastically. “You bitch, your uncle would not have been in this position for you. You made him so angry that he even had a heart attack, after all we have done for you!” She screamed at the top of her lungs. “Please keep quiet, mam." I heard from her background that it was probably the paramedics talking to her; she was not even considerate enough to talk in a low tone just so that her husband could recover, yet she had the guts to blame me for her misfortune. “Mrs. Greene, you never did anything for me; all you guys did was make my life miserable. You would not have had the lavish lifestyle you are used to if not for my parents. Let me remind you that your husband was just a common manager of a software company, and you were still a parasite, s
