Cali woke up early to jog for the first time. She thought that she should get fit again because she gained three kilos within a span of a short time. She needs to burn down calories because a celebrity needs to have perfect curves to avoid bashers and body shamers, especially in her hometown. Most Filipino have toxic attributes when it comes to biases.   Perci heard her footsteps as she descended the stairs. He stood up and called Cali, "Where do you think you are going?" He asked.   "Hmmm...jogging?" she replied. She is standing on the 4th level of the staircase. She had to stop because Perci distracted her.   "With whom?" he asked. He was leaning on the fiberglass divid

She wore a sexy strapless golden branch Sequined mermaid tail dress. Everyone at the party is wearing a black suit and black outfit because it is the theme of the party. She was speechless when she saw the man on the stage as the emcee announced the new investor of her agency. It was her husband whom she left for fame and money. He looked at her with smugness on his face. Her heart beat fast when he descended the stage and went straight to her. He grabbed her hand and dragged her to the garden of the hotel.   "Aren't you glad to meet your husband, whom you left for money and fame?" says Flint, the male lead of the drama. He was able to deliver the line with the right emotion, a bitter tone.   Perci signaled the camera team to stop filming. "That's it for today. See you guys next week. Happy n

  She woke up with pain in her head. She squinted her eyes upon realizing that it is not her room. She checked on herself and asked herself if she had done a stupid thing again. She tried hard to recall what happened, but it stopped when she had fallen asleep on the bar.   She stood up to leave Perci's room. She jumped in surprise when she saw a scary-looking lady with messy hair, messed-up mascara, and smudged lipstick on the body-sized mirror.   She glanced at it again and realized it was her reflection. She touched her hair and smelled it. It does not stink; it opposed her expectation. She carries her face and almost twitches her hair. The make-up is scattered everywhere.    "How kind Perci is for putting conditioner on my hair but did not even bother to remove my make-up?"

Perci was born in America. Therefore, he was a registered American citizen according to the jus soli law of American citizenship. His grandfather was a business tycoon and had established an agency for artists, actors, and actresses. Their family belongs to a clan, circles of distant relatives who also had different businesses and companies, but holds common shares of assets. His parents decided to stay in the Philippines when he turned one year old. That time his grandfather was sick. Perry had no choice but to help his father in the company. To protect Perci from the media, they had to keep his profile low. The time will come for Perci to meet the noisy world of the capitalist. When Perci turned eight, an unexpected thing had happened. He was with his mother at a grocery store. He got lost, and a matron appeared. He was crying while walking in every aisle of the store.   

The security team arrived to escort them to the SUV; however, the reporters have been throwing questions at them.    "Is it true that you two are in a live-in setup while shooting for your drama?"    "What can you say about the citizens who are called immoral and have no sense of decency?"   "Ms. Cali, please answer our question!"   "Ms. Cali!"   "Ms. Cali."   "Mr. Perci, please clear things for us."   They kept on ignoring the questions until they reached the SUV. Perci and Cali removed the mask and shades.   "How did this happen? I thought our arrival was a secret?"
