Chapter 11 – Kicking out Piper and his brothers
“Well, that is my condition. If you break up with me, I will tell my father to withdraw everything. So, what do you think? Do you still want to break up with me?”Piper was certain that Ezrah would change his mind. After all, he prioritized money more than anything in the world.Ezrah thought carefully. That partnership would boost the Gannons’ finances by twenty percent, but if he moved on so fast, then it would only confirm Ethan’s accusation that Piper was the reason for Zora’s death.In the worst case, he would lose his position to either of his elder brothers, and that would also mean disaster for the company, which has thrived over the years under Ezrah’s leadership. After coming to a conclusion, he pushed the file he was scrutinizing before back to her.“You should know by now that I’m not one who flinches at threats. Goodbye, Piper.”Piper was so shocked, a tear dropped down her cheek. Was Ezrah planning to remarry Zora’s dead body? How could he let go of such an opportunity b

Chapter 12 - Go back and audition
Coco had forgotten to warn Zora about the Queen of the movie industry, Bianca Davis. Anyone who wanted to climb higher would have to kowtow to her as she was the fiancée of the producer, Zane Green himself. The actresses patronized her as her recommendations were always final, and no one dared to cross Bianca. Sadly, Coco was not in Bianca’s good books as a result of continuously refusing to dance to her tune. She ended up not only with minor roles but also with bullying like this during auditions or the main shoot. “It's alright, Zora. Please don’t get into trouble,” Coco whispered in her ears, but Zora was too upset to be reasoned with. Having dealt with Ezrah’s brothers, she hated the likes of Bianca, who felt like the world revolved around them. Director Sonny saw everything unfold and did not utter a word. It seemed like Bianca met her match this time or Coco got the right person to stand in her defense. “No. She stepped on your foot. I saw it, and she has to apologize,” Zora

Chapter 13 - I would prefer a much older woman.
Zora felt at a loss. If the producer sacked her, then who was this man to tell her otherwise? Perhaps it was because he hadn’t seen what had transpired earlier. She tried to explain it to him. “But…” “He’s Mr. Newman,” Coco took the words out of her mouth. Zora stared at her with confusion on her face, not knowing who Mr. Newman was. Coco understood the confusion on her face, going on to explain. “The biggest investor of the production. He must have seen everything through the CCTV.” It was one of Mr. Newman’s hobbies to casually check if his money was being put to good use. One of his clauses was also to bring up new faces in the movie industry, as viewers tend to get tired of the old ones unless they are extremely good. It was better for him to weigh his options the right way. Zora was glad the studio had cameras. At least there was someone higher than Zane to give justice to someone like her. She stole a glance at him, seeing how the man had paled, and even Bianca had moved away

Chapter 14 – What would you do in my shoes?
Mr. Newman’s expression was slightly sorrowful as he revealed, “As a babysitter.” Zora scoffed and was about to refuse when he made the greatest revelation. “But you would have to marry him. It’s simple. I want you to marry my son for one year. I will pay you handsomely for it.” Zora didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. This was the most ridiculous thing she had ever heard. After experiencing a loveless marriage firsthand, she was not willing to make that mistake again. Not even someone as powerful as Mr. Newman could make her consider it. “Mr. Newman, I think you have the wrong person. I’m neither ready to be a babysitter nor get married. I’m sorry, but you just wasted your time.” She opened the car door, about to step out when he explained calmly, “My son had an accident and is in a vegetative state. Before that, a girl was pregnant for him but died giving birth to his child on the same day he had the accident.” Zora paused, puzzled by the revelation. This situation seemed more

Chapter 15 – You came at the right time
Coco weighed the options. Zora had married Ezrah with a prenup, but in this situation, she would walk away as a billionaire. She only wanted the best for her best friend, telling her exactly what she would have done under the same circumstances, given the same situation. “It’s not a bad idea since he’s in a vegetative state. You can check his health records and make sure he isn’t waking up anytime soon. Also, make sure you put everything into writing. Have the contract signed in your interest.” “Trust me, that money would be a great start-up for whatever business you want to venture into. Minor roles would never give you that amount even in twenty years.” Zora thought through Coco’s suggestions. Her family’s net worth was worth millions, and after a few years, she could return to New York after her companies were flourishing and begin to avenge her dead child. “I think you have a point, but I will still think about it a little. Let’s eat first. I need a lot of rest.” Back in New Y

Chapter 16 – I won't just believe that she's dead
Lake Chapman was Ezrah’s best friend since childhood. However, unlike Ezrah, he only had a sister who didn’t care about the family business. The dark side of it was the fact that all the pressure remained on Lake, making him too busy to even listen to the news. If his sister had not called him to gossip about Ezrah’s predicament because she had eyes on Ezrah unknown to Lake, he would not have taken time off his busy schedule. With two busy friends, it was almost impossible to see each other. Phone calls were even a luxury between the friends. Ezrah had not thought about calling him since the tragedy, not wanting to burden him with his bad luck, but since Lake was in his office, he could download everything to the latter. Lake was saddened, taking in Ezrah’s tired form and asked seriously, “So what is this I’m hearing about your wife? I mean, I never got to know her but she seemed like

Chapter 17 – Sufficient Evidence
Ezrah couldn't comprehend why Zora would fake her death, so he didn't attempt to investigate the matter. However, Lake's revelation was an eye-opener. Even if it wasn't the case, at least his curiosity would be satisfied. He couldn't shake off the memory of their argument on the night of the divorce. Could it be that Zora wanted him to be happy with Piper? Who told her that her death would make him happy? Or did she want to taunt him? If not, why die right after the divorce? Lake was determined to get someone to look into the matter. "I will talk to someone, but I doubt how quickly we can get it. For now, I will make time to accompany you to the funeral. Let's confront her family together. After all, they have no right to keep it from you." Ezrah shook his head bitterly, feeling like he had been deceived. No wonder Zora insisted on the divorce no matter how hard he tried to delay it. Then again, he had Piper, and that was his weakness. "Don't you understand? We had already divorced

Chapter 18 – Asthma Attack
Zora’s mother was disinterested in the conversation, knowing that her husband could handle it. There was no need to feel guilty since Ezrah never treated their daughter like a wife. Now that she had her freedom and peace of mind, they would never allow Ezrah to ruin it for her. Zora’s father stared at Ezrah, an expression of shock and admiration on his face as he asked with interest, “You have proof that she isn’t dead? I’m also interested. After all, she is my daughter. Where is she? Give me her location, and let’s go find her.” If Ezrah said he had proof, the middle-aged man had no doubt it was so. Therefore, this was the best solution to come up with, neither agreeing nor disagreeing with Ezrah. Ezrah was having a headache as this was not the reaction he expected. “Stop pretending. Zora faked her death, and I believe you know something about it,” he accused, but the light in the middle-aged man’s eyes refused to dim as he stared at Ezrah with expectancy. “She did?” He turned to

Chapter 19 – Too sassy for my liking
Coco didn't understand Zora's reason for wanting to help, but she knew that Zane and Bianca's sidekicks wasted a lot of time searching for the inhaler. That time could have been used to rush Bianca to the hospital. However, Coco remembered that Zora had a very kind heart.That sassy and feisty personality only developed after the divorce and faking of her death."I need a napkin or towel, and honey," Zora yelled. One of the crew members came running towards her with a napkin."Here. I got one.""I got honey," another crew member yelled and ran towards her, while the rest watched like bewildered spectators.Zora took it and instructed, "Back up a little bit. Give her some air," pouring an amount of honey into the napkin, she instructed Bianca as she pressed it onto her nose."Breathe in through your nose, and out through your mouth."Bianca obeyed, but Zane was uneasy since Zora and Bianca were not technically friends. He was worried that Zora might worsen his fiancée's condition. Afte

Chapter 20 - Exposed
“Are you sure about this?” Zane asked Bianca seriously, adding, “I already intended to reward her in cash. She’s a friend of Coco, meaning she might just be broke and did it to win your favor.”On the hospital bed, Bianca was upset by Zane’s words. Before now, all she thought about her was her fame and glamorous impending wedding. However, being on the verge of losing her life, she realized that there were more important things than fame and money.Being human mattered more than bossing people around. No one was able to help her except the very person Zane had fired because of her, so what if Mr. Newman had not intervened? Michelle would not have survived, so Bianca could have lost her life.“How can you even think that? If she wanted my favor, she wouldn’t have pulled my hair, and not after Mr. Newman stood up for her after you fired her. She saved my life, so giving up a role of 10 million is nothing. I already have two more scripts worth more than that and can still get more.”Zane
