“Yo, Declan Grayson. Now that you’re a business tycoon, have you forgotten about your big brother? How long has it been?” Garrett Grayson teased from the other end of the line. Declan was shocked to see his brother’s call. The last time they spoke was a few months ago when Declan traveled outside the country and met him at his school. Garrett said his dream was to complete his Master’s degree, hence, he compelled their father to keep running the family business, while he took a break to learn more about business. The decision was a difficult one for them, as their father wasn’t willing to go through the stress of managing his companies anymore. Their eldest sister didn’t have any interest in the family business, as she was busy pursuing her dream of something else, carving a name for herself in her field. Even though she supported in her own way, she still wasn’t interested in the day-to-day running of the company, and someone needed to be in the seat of authority and hold th
“Mom?”Selene called out gently when she realized Tara just wouldn’t get the words out of her lips. She wasn’t trying to be too pushy, but they needed to be fast with their discussion, so she could get on with her reason for being there.“I just wanted to hear you call me Mom, one more time.” She confessed, much to Selene’s shock. She could never tell that her simple form of address could have such an effect on her mother.“Mom.I’m sorry for everything I said to you.You deserve more than what I said in a fit of anger.I know I acted like a spoiled and unruly kid, but
“Why are you confused about the question, or perhaps, you were not even sick in the first place?”The Assistant Director was wondering if the young lady was just a bad liar or a terrible actress. Either of the two would still mean she was a bad choice for the current role. They needed a person who was talented, versatile, and able to fit different roles at the same time. Selene portrayed all that they wanted in the audition videos she sent. Even when they had a face-to-face via video call, she seemed to be a natural.He had vehemently argued with Director Pierce over the young lady for such a long time, as he wanted to overturn the decision of the judges to make her the lead actress. His only reason was that she was inexperienced and shouldn’t be trusted with anything so big on her first try. However, every other judge, including the Assistant Director made him understand that they would lose a great deal if they let her go. They also reminded him that everyone was once a newbie, an
“Lock down the place. No one leaves the conference room. Not even a fly.” Declan’s cold and menacing voice sounded through the receiver, and Bruno could only respond in the affirmative. He was seated in the back seat of the limited edition Bentley, Boris driving at full speed. Meanwhile, he left a few instructions for Bruno to carry out in the Grand Lumen Hotel. If any of the artists had toyed with Selene in any way, Declan was going to deal with them ruthlessly. All he needed was the doctor’s diagnosis before he’d know how to handle the situation. It was as if other road users and traffic signs were nowhere to be found. Boris needed not to be told to step on the gas, as the two had a tacit understanding by merely staring at the unconscious body of Selene, who lay limply in Declan’s embrace as if she already bid goodbye to the world. “Please, Bunny, stay with me. Bunny, please say something. Ask me whatever you want to know, Bunny. I’ll tell you anything. Please… Just sp
…Few hours earlier…Tasty Treats Restaurant“How long has it been, Chris?I don’t remember the last time you invited me to check anything at Peak Grooves.Am I just a terrible client, or you’re too good to worry about?” Declan smilingly took a seat across from his guest as he spoke out in jest, “Today must be really special. Tell me, what’s the occasion?” He asked after adjusting himself comfortably in the lush cushion, spying his friend expectantly. It wasn’t every day that a man like that called him out for a meal, and he was confused when he received his call in the morning. “Come off it, Declan.You are the only businessman who allows a contractor to make all the decisions. How the heck didn’t you end up with a crook?”Christopher retorted, earning a low chuckle from Declan. “Let’s just say, I have the best engineer in the whole of Bloomsbay.What do I have to worry about?Hahhahaahh!After all, considering all the magnificent structures you pulled up for me, I might as wel
“Chris, this isn’t good.I just saw Selene being driven out of the hotel.She seemed to have passed out.”Tara mumbled with shaky hands, fumbling with her car keys.“Yes. Yes. I’m tailing them at the moment.With the route they are taking, I believe they’re headed towards Elite Touch Medical Centre.Please, let’s meet up as soon as possible.”Tara responded to a few more questions from her husband and finally ended the call with the words,“I don’
~~~Violent Sexual Content Proceed with caution~~~…“Here you are!” Director Pierce declared giddily, masking his joy with a cold voice. As soon as his words fell, he tightly grabbed onto the young lady’s hair, safely securing her in his hold.Lulu had been hiding on the stairs that seemed a little too dark, yet, she enjoyed the solitude. However, her heart threatened to lunge out of her throat when she heard the familiar voice behind her. She sat quietly, her jaw resting in her palm, as her folded elbow rested on her knee. Her tired gaze was fixed on the dark path ahead, her thoughts running wild with a lot of unforeseen pressure weighing on her young shoulders.On impulse, Lulu quickly lunged to her feet, only to be restrained by a sharp grip on her hair. “Ouch! That hurts…” She exclaimed, instinctively holding onto his hand in a bid to stop the pain, and begged, “Please, let go…” However, the Director looked left and right, assured that no one else was around, then he mot
