As soon as she left, the phone in Jessica's hand rang and she excused herself to answer it. Having nothing else to do, Roxanne and Audrey searched for a spot and sat down. Then took out their phones to handle their company affairs. "How did she react?" Lucian asked from the other end. Jessica sighed and folded her free hand under her bosom. "I saw nothing on her face. However, I believe she was hiding how she really feels." "I feel so too. Pierce called me this morning and told me what she said when she saw the news. Apparently, my little sister has decided not to be so boring and deal with her enemies accordingly. I can't wait." Lucian retorted from the other end. The two talked for some minutes more before the call ended. When Jessica turned around, she almost got a heartache. It was Alicia's assistant. The one who had walked up to Queenie and spoken rudely to her."Seems you love snooping around." Jessica said with a frown. The assistant merely looked her over and walked pa
Alicia had to leave almost immediately as she received a call from Velon. When she got to the man's office, she noticed there was a kind of celebration going on. She had been gone for a week, filming. Velon had been constantly reminding her to be careful as any strenuous work could affect their child. She didn't knock on the other and opened it as soon as she got to Velon's office. His secretary was taking some notes. She couldn't help but frown with displeasure when she noticed the shortuniform skirt the latter had on. Velon didn't notice her countenance as he had his head lowered onto a book. When he raised his head, she had changed the look to a cheerful one. "You came so fast. I guess you're done with filming for today?" The man asked brightly and walked towards her. "Absolutely." Alicia replied charmingly and leaned over for a kiss. The secretary soon excused herself while the couple dallied. Soon, their clothes were off. "You sounded like what you had to tell me was so
Vincent had only gone a little further from the house when Queenie asked him to turn around and head back to the house. He obliged and when he got to the house, he saw a familiar black Porsche shooting out of the gate and the horrified looks in the eyes of the maidservants. He needed one to tell him Pierce's weird temper had kicked in again and it was all because he argued with his younger brother. Again! Queenie didn't have the time to notice their expressions as she walked hurriedly into the house and straight into her room. She pushed the door open and heard a cold voice. "I think you should leave!" "Oh, if you say so." She muttered in disbelief and turned to walk out only to hear the man's hurried voice. "No, I wasn't talking to you." Slowly, she turned to look at him. With a shrug, she walked towards the man who was still embedded in a tuxedo. "I received an emergency call. Was told you were not fine." She said and looked him over. "However, you look fine to me." The ma
Nighttime in Maile, The Knights' MansionThe Knights triplets stood with their hands behind their back, facing their father who laid weakly on his bed. He had requested their presence and as such, they remained quiet till he spoke."I entrusted my company to you to manage in my stead. I am not dead, at least not yet. So any major decisions concerning the company ought to be discussed with me." the man began."Lucian, you've been in charge. Can you explain to me what it is that I'm hearing?" He asked Lucian who stood in the middle, directly opposite the sick man.Lucian leaned forward to answer. "Father, what I did was a smart move. Velon's company was dwindling and he couldn't keep up with it anymore." he explained."That is no reason for you to buy that bastard's company!" old Knight retorted. "I've always told you boys that nobody, nobody should involve themselves with Queenie or that peasant of a man she calls her ex-husband!" he added."It was solely for business purposes father.
When Queenie looked towards a direction, she thought she saw someone duck. So she got up and headed towards the pillar. When she got there, she found no one there. Just then the phone in her pocket rang and she took it out to see it was Audrey calling. "What is it?" "It's almost eleven and you're not yet in the filming set! You're clearly giving Alicia something to slander you with." Audrey huffed from the other side.Queenie held her forehead with her free head and sighed. She had totally forgotten! Glancing at her time, she assured Audrey. "If the director asks where I am, tell him I am on my way." "I've been telling him that for about an hour. I don't know what he'd think of me if I tell him that again." "Then you tell him I live three hours away." Queenie retorted and headed outside the house. "Don't be so shameless, Queenie. Since you knew that, why didn't you leave your three hours away house on time?" Audrey fired back. Queenie was about to retort when she heard Direct
Cameras, lights and everything needed forshooting the scene were all up before Queenie walked into the stage. She had also changed into Esther's character. She acted her lines when being handled roughy by the hoodlums before she took off. She had run for a bit when Daryl called off the scene. "Stop!" Queenie was ready to be reprimanded as she knew fully well she was supposed to fall on her stomach. When he saw her face, Daryl knew she did it on purpose. "I guess the stunt doubles should do this." "For something as simple as falling? Even a pregnant woman like me can do it." Alicia laughed from where she sat. "Ok, I'm exaggerating. That'd be quite a risk for my child. But why can't Queenie do it when she's not pregnant? Unless she really is." Alicia concluded. Jessica huffed out angrily and looked towards Alicia. When she was about to say something, she felt something tug her clothes. When she looked beside her, she saw Audrey shaking her head while mouthing the word, "Don't do
When Queenie returned back to the table, Pierce noticed the odd look in her eyes and asked. "Are you alright?" Queenie stared at him for some seconds before shaking her head. "I don't think so." Pierce got up from his chair and walked towards her. Without knowing it, he had attracted the attention of the people in the hotel. They soon took out their phones to take pictures. Pierce couldn't be bothered by them as his main focus was on the lady before him. "Let's go to the husband as soon as possible." He said and held her hands. On their way out, Queenie suddenly felt dizzy and slumped. The man scooped her into his arms and headed directly for the car. Vincent, who was smoking outside, saw them and threw the burning cigarette to the ground, extinguishing the light with his foot before rushing to open the door. She was taken to Hiltonia's Central hospital where she was admitted at once and treatment commenced on her almost immediately. The man waited anxiously for her outside. W
Filming shoot the next day. Queenie walked in with two assistants, a worried look in her face. She turned to Roxanne who was beside her to ask, "Have you tried contacting her again?" Roxanne nodded. "It's not going through. Says it's out of reach." "When I'm done with today's scene, we will go in search of her." She muttered and walked away while Audrey and Roxanne exchanged a worried glance."I think Pierce should have an idea of where she is. I'll give him a call." Roxanne said and excused herself. Audrey kept her eyes at them both. Three minutes later, Roxanne returned back to where she stood, a worried look in her eyes. "What did you get?" "He doesn't know. At this point, it's either the Baynes has her or she has been kidnapped." Roxanne concluded. "I'll go for the first. I'll give her brother a call." When the call connected, she heard Jessica yelling in the background before the noise got drawn out. "Is that Jessica?" Audrey asked. Michael Bayne, the first and only son
