“Daddy… Allow me to call you that one last time.I’m not angry with you anymore, okay?” Selene forced out of her trembling lips, her hands trailing Declan’s toned abs. “Please, don’t take me to the hospital, okay?Allow me to end this misery in your arms. It’s going to be a very long night, don’t you think?I’m really tired, Daddy.”When she made the final declaration, she felt so light, even though her body felt like it was going to explode from the intense heat coursing through her being. Selene was finally happy that she was going to end her miserable life that only existed to be fu*ked by a man for survival. “What’s the worst that could happen?” She thought resignedly. She felt it was better to end things naturally than fight any further. She hasn’t gotten any better, and if for anything, her condition worsened after her miscarriage.When Declan told her they were related by blood, she cried and went into brooding for a long time but taking things from a brighter side, she felt

“Mmmmm!!!” Selene stirred in her sleep, awakening to the sweet and aromatic scent of a sumptuous spread on the table across from her. When she suddenly opened her eyes, she noticed Declan standing at the door, looking tantalizingly bare chested.She couldn’t tell whether it was his looks or the various dishes spread on the table, but she felt her morning could never be any more beautiful than it already was. “Huh?” Speaking of mornings, she suddenly realized that the sun was seeping into the tent, and it was so high that it definitely wasn’t the early morning sun. Selene quickly reached for her phone and widened her eyes in shock when her mind registered the time. It was twelve thirty in the afternoon, and there was no way she had an excuse to give the directors. “Shit!!!” She quickly pushed the duvet off her body and attempted to jump out of bed. “Ouch!” She plopped back onto the bed, her waist hurting like she fell from a height earlier. Even her body felt so sore that Selene

“How come Selene isn’t here? I was reliably informed that she was here a while ago.Why are you saying otherwise?” Celeste’s voice seemed low, but the director could feel the coldness in it. “Ma’am, all the cast have been advised to remain in their tents. Something happened yesterday, and for that matter, we cannot allow you to see her.” The producer regarded Celeste in an equally calm voice, letting her know that no one was going to leave their tents to speak with her. Moreover, she wasn’t there to have a one-on-one meeting with Selene. All she wanted was to be able to watch her daughter act out her scenes. It was going to be the first time she would be involved in anything that concerned her. She missed all the important dates in her daughter’s life, including her first birthday, first day in school, parent student games, and many more memorable events that she felt Tara had stolen from her. At a point, Celeste asked herself why Celeste would get to be with her daughter after e

“Okay, Lulu… Let’s hear it. What do you wish to tell me?” Lulu reckoned that the faster she got the issue off her chest, the better it would be for her. After all, why would she need to keep such a secret from someone who was being this nice to her for no reason? “I was the one who paid the bartender to spike your drink on the day you were captured with a strange man in the bar. I was even supposed to prepare a VIP room with cameras to capture your activities with someone, but I developed cold feet. Then, my brother fell sick and I totally forgot about everything. I’m sorry for trying to ruin your reputation. You really didn’t deserve that.” Looking at the panicky sight of Lulu, Selene kept her mouth shut, only addressing her silently with her gaze. Lulu felt so self-conscious that she wished the young lady would have said something to her already. The silence was killing her, but Selene was also in deep thought. “I’m really sorry, Ms. Grey. That night, Director Pierce was su

“What were you doing with my daughter, you leech? What do you want with Selene? Wait, were you the one who paid the producer to tell me everyone was supposed to be indoors? Declan, you did this!” Celeste attacked Declan as soon as he was about to exit the restricted zone. He had successfully dropped off Selene and Chloe without being spotted by anyone. However, he was a little surprised to notice that his crazy sister was lying in wait for him. “Madam Bigshot, please do not make a scene out here. There is no paparazzi around, you know!” He blatantly mocked her for chasing clout, and Celeste wasn’t having any of it. “What do you mean by that, you bastard? I asked what you were doing with that little girl just now.” Seeing how uptight Celeste was getting, Declan couldn’t help but decide to give her a dose of the same medicine she had been dishing out to him for the last thirty-four years. “You call Selene your daughter? Are you kidding me? The last time we spoke, you were wil
