Twenty Six
Jeremy Lee, born Lee Yihuang, was a 54-year-old billionaire who owned Lee Productions, the biggest movie and reality TV production house where the most famous Asian stars were born and bred. Jeremy Lee had five children: all girls. Ming was unfortunate enough to be the smartest, prettiest and youngest of the group, which meant that her dad kept a special eye on her.
Which was probably awful considering Mr Lee was notorious for his dictator-like way of running things. Sources claimed that his own employees nicknamed him as Kim Jongun's stepbrother. Thankfully, it was just a nickname and not the truth because I don't think I would've agreed to meet him otherwise.
In just two hours, June and I had dug up everything we possibly could on Ming's father. If I wanted to convince Mr Lee to invest in the movie then I needed all the help and knowl

The Wrong Cinderella One
"May what the hell are you wearing?!"I winced, folding my arms around my chest. I knew that she would have a problem with my simple choice of attire but not so much to actually yell at me."It's my favourite t-shirt." I replied.Rachel stared at me, her eyes wide. "You can't go to the interview dressed like that!"I shrugged. "Well I can't change now so let's get this over and done with."I ignored her protests and walked off onto the brightly lit stage. Jason and Jet were already seated — clad in sleek, black tuxedos."Hey boys." I greeted them, my smile wide.Saying they were shocked would be an understatement. Before they could comment, however, a wide-smiled woman strutted towards us, a stack of cue cards in her hands. I took my seat between the boys and turned to the interviewer whose name I honestly didn't care enough to find out. If Luke and

The next two weeks went by pretty quickly. Everyday June and I counted down the days until the audition and imagined how hot the actor who played Ace, the male lead, would be.We were planning our outfits in June's room the night before the audition when all our plans came crashing down."I'm sorry darling but you won't be able to audition." June's mom announced, as she entered the room."What?!" June and I exclaimed."We have to go to your great uncle's funeral, June. And May, I'm really sorry about this but family comes first." June's mom looked at me.I could tell she wasn't sorry at all. Once, a long time ago, June's parents and mine were best friends. Our moms had even gotten pr
The Wrong Cinderella Three
I was always a weird kid. In kindergarten, I didn't really like talking to anyone. In fact, my mom says that I hardly ever spoke.I would always stare quietly at my surroundings, never bothering to comment on anything or anyone. The only time I seemed happy was when I was reading. I loved reading: it was the one thing I looked forward to every day. The beautiful tales of princesses and wizards turned my extremely boring life into a life of adventure, laughter and glass slippers.My book obsession only grew as I grew older and eventually I felt more like myself when I had a heavy paperback in my hands. I became known as the weird book girl and it didn't bother me because they were all missing out on the best thing ever invented.I loved my books alright but I had never, ever thought tha

Fiveyears earlier"Bye dad! I love you!" I yelled, waving as the car rolled out of the driveway."Bye May!" He yelled back.I closed the front door and turned, nearly bumping into my gigantic brother. I was tall alright but he waslong. We both had my dad's genes to blame for that."Why were you yelling? You're going to see him in a few hours." He scowled.I rolled my eyes. "What's wrong with telling your parents that you love them?"Matt gave me a disgusted look. "You're so weird."I ignored him and, standing on the tip of my toes, I

I hurriedly wiped my face, shame flooding through my veins.The remainder of the heart-wrenching sorrow that had interrupted me halfway through my audition still churned in my gut.I needed to throw up. Unfortunately, t didn't seem as if I was leaving any time soon."I think we've just found our Sapphire." Andrea laughe
The Wrong Cinderella Six
As soon as we got home, I forgot about my mom's tea and I shot to my room. I quickly connected my phone to the charger and dialled June's number."Did you get it?" Was the first thing she asked as soon as she answered."I don't know." I answered honestly."What do you mean you don't know? Was the audition bad or good?" She screamed.I winced, removing the phone from my ear. "Well I think I nailed it! I even cried! I think it was perfect...except I overdid it a little. Okay a lot. I didn't even get to finish the whole monologue."She paused for a second. "What happened?"Somehow she always knew when something was bothering me.

The Wrong Cinderella Eight
"June!" I squealed as she let me go.It had been three months since she left for the funeral and I had missed her so much. My summer had been more boring than usual without her to drag me out of bed.I had a theory that her mom prolonged her trip in order to keep us apart. I didn't have any evidence though so I couldn't say anything. Besides, it didn't work either way because June and I talked for at least three hours everyday."What the hell did they do to you? You look stunning!" She replied, gaping at me.I shrugged. "Well thank you and it was these three that made me look this amazing. This is Jeane, Kayden and Rachel."The three of them greeted June as they made a few more adjus
