Yvette calls them and the call is on speaker for me to hear too. “Don’t call here again. We have already chosen someone else. We don’t want anyone who’s involved in such grave scandals!”He hung up even before Yvette says anything to plead.Senmira has been acting so smug. No wonder she knew everything. I can’t tolerate her acting so arrogant!But in a few minutes, we receive a call. It’s the same endorsement company. “Miss Wilson, I apologize dearly. I didn’t know you were referred to us by the Marshall’s themselves. Mr. Jay called himself to let us know. Don’t worry, we’ll sort out the contract accordingly and we’ll send it to your company by the evening.”What just happened?“Mr. Jay is Kayden Marshall’s personal secretary if I’m not wrong.”No Yvette, you’re not wrong. And I myself don’t know what’s going on. But before I could even talk about this further, Senmira barges into the room, fuming with anger.One could see imaginary smoke coming out of her ears, I bet. “Zara, what rig
I woke up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom. Kayden was sleeping on the couch. I saw him lying there.Unfortunately, the couch is short for his 6’2 height. He has to put his legs up to fit on the couch.I felt slightly uncomfortable to see him sleeping like this. I approach the couch and lower my head.He looked so serene sleeping like that, a masterpiece from some painting. His brows were relaxed and lacked the usual sternness, making him look gentle.I instinctively went closer to him to take a better look. I can’t believe this Greek God kinda looking man is my husband.He looks even better than celebrities. Maybe Kai is famous because of these genes. Even the Governor is pretty handsome.Although Kayden and I have been married for quite some time, this was my first time observing him with such detail.His eyelashes long, his lips full… oh those lips… Can I just-“What are you looking at so sneakily?” I heard a muffled voice.I fell on the ground landing on my butt.W
We enter the room and I see the Governor dressed in home wear. He sat there looking at some documents and appeared to be very busy. Even at home, he’s working.“Ken, why are you so free to come home today?” Kayden’s tone is very casual.I, on the other hand, am very nervous. I never thought I would meet Kenneth Marshall one day. Plus, he’s my elder brother-in-law.Kenneth saw me and immediately smiled before walking towards me. “This is the first time we met. Forgive me, I was a little busy with work. And Kay has shielded you too well, rarely brings you home.”It’s probably because he could not be bothered to bring me home since we are not true lovers anyway. I shake Kenneth’s hand that he extended. “Mr. Governor, I’m Zara Wilson.”He chuckles. “Oh please, call me Kenneth. We are family.”I smile. Kenneth does not look the same as he does on television. But now that I see it, all three brothers have clear similarities.Soon, Lily came in. “Have a seat all of you.”I quickly join her.
Pov: KaydenI look at Zara resting on the couch with a silly smile on her face. Walking over I ask, “What happened?”“I was reading the piece of a news article that was published on the promotion of our new series. We even made jokes about each other, like how I’m clumsy and nobody thinks of me as a woman on the set. Everybody laughed and the promotion was successful. The host was happy to question us, there were cheers and Linda was pissed at my popularity that’s a bonus that I got. Most importantly the director praised me personally and said I have a lot of potential in the future.”She shows me the article on the phone and I smile sweeping a glance across it. She was so easily satisfied.We retreat to our room. Zara opened her wardrobe, took out her pajamas, and went to the bathroom for a shower. After a while, she yells from inside. “Kayden, who bought these pajamas? Why are they see-through?”“Huh?” See-through?“They are almost translucent.”I frown and open the wardrobe to take
Pov: ZaraThe series which I was in finally aired and the attention it got was immense. There were advertisements around every corner and the fanfare was on a different level.I could see them even when I went shopping.But right now I just began to get some exposure. I’m not as well-known as Kai or Freya so people outside don’t recognize me. I was still an ordinary person.But it was clear that the series was already receiving attention from the broadcast of its first episode. Its viewership ratings stood firmly in the first place and its related news fully occupied the list of hot topics. And the few main leads inside began to be roped into various methods to generate hype.The response from Kai’s fans was huge. Every day, his fans followed him around noisily as he attended his promotional activities.On the other hand, Freya kept a low profile. She didn’t attend promotional activities and only went to a few important places. One could tell that she had the style of a goddess.A sma
Pov: KaydenMonica stood before us looking from me to Zara and back. Although she was shocked to see us there, she still smiled and conveniently stepped between Zara and me, pulling my arm.“Kay… What are you holding? Let me have a look.” She stretched her hand towards the beautiful packing which had the shops name ‘Carving Time’ on it. I didn’t even notice the shop’s name. My whole attention was on Zara and how excited she looked.I subconsciously evaded Monica. “It’s nothing.”Monica stiffened but then pursed her lips. “Didn’t you bring anyone along? Why are you carrying this? Give it, I’ll do it.”“No need.” I tell her straight.For some reason I didn’t want anyone to see this. It was something that Zara and I shared and seemed private.Monica doesn’t protest but silently glares at Zara who in return just sighs. I don’t know what Zara did to make Monica detest her so much. But then again, it would be even more weird if she liked Zara.“Why are the two of you here?”“We just had din
After Monica left, I asked my subordinates where Zara has gone. They know that since she has married me, her safety is also of utmost priority.Soon, then brought me along and we found Zara strolling alone by the side of the road in the direction of our home.I caught up with her. “Why did you leave on your own?”“Why aren’t you with Miss Jensen?” she asked perplexed.I’m not sure if I appreciate this question. “Why? Did you want us to be together for long?”“Yes.” She answers almost immediately. “It is rare for you to have bumped into each other.”“You’re very thoughtful.” My words were laced with sarcasm. Should I be praising her for being such a good wife?“Of course, I am.” She goes on without taking a hint of this situation or my words, as usual. “My personality is just… I forgot the idiom, how does it go? It is used to describe someone who’s generous…”“Magnanimity is the generous greatness of spirit?”“Yes, exactly. It describes me perfectly!” she pats her chest feeling all pro
Pov: ZaraKayden returns to the room and I couldn’t even dare to look at him. I constantly evaded his gaze.“On that day, why did you and your manager go to the hotel Ken was staying at?”I raise my head before pausing. I thank god for him changing the topic. Things would have gotten really awkward. “Oh, Kai invited everyone from the production. So I brought Yvette with me. Kai said it’s your family’s hotel.”He sat down in deep thought. I don’t know what he’s thinking but he suddenly asked about that day out of the blue. “Why did you start asking about this all of a sudden?”“It’s nothing. Go to sleep.” He smiles.“Okay.” I didn’t give this much thought.The next day, I see an increase in my followers on Instagram and Twitter.A lot of people love my character and sympathized with her. The character was considerate of others in every aspect, was easygoing and dashing, and never dragged things out. But she would always get hurt in the end.Due to this, all the attention on the main fe
