Chapter 7 : The Interview (Part 1)
Miss Grace Winters, You're Next".
Her heart stopped, her hands were sweaty, her body was moving on its own accord and her mind was all over the place. So many questions ran through her mind. She couldn't help but look around to all the crying girls that looked at her with jealousy, she couldn't blame them though, they had looked at each girl that entered the elevator with the same eyes, but each girl had either come out crying or with a huge frown, some even left the building disappointed, she had thought they had rejected them until she saw some girls still sitting down and waiting, then she knew the results would be announced later. The girls that left already felt they had lost and wouldn't be able to get the chance at all.

She thought hard on it before breathing in and going straight to character, She closed her eyes as she connected to her most painful memory, the day her father was buried, 10 years ago, she remembered crying and weeping close to the corpse when she tried giving a speech about him, she could remember the pain and she tried to connect to that pain as drops of tears fell from her eyes to her cheeks, she remembered the distraught look on her mother's face as she said her last goodbyes and that was all she needed to be Anita. Opening her now puffy eyes, with te

Chapter 10: A Decision Made By The Panel (pt2) Leonard knew Grace was perfect for the role, She had the beauty that intoxicated him, The smile that he couldn't forget, the innocence that radiated of her and what he was most curious about.

"Good Evening Ladies, Can I have your attention please?". Mr Justin, spoke in a polite voice to all the exhausted ladies in the Lobby. He was Accompanied by Jane, The receptionist who attended to her and another unfamiliar lady who was still dressed in a professional attire, The both ladies had purple gift boxes in each of their hands, though Jane's was slightly bigger. Grace wondered what was inside the boxes at first sight but decided not to think much about it as it would be revealed later on. The sound of The managers voice was like a bell rung to most of the sleeping ladies. It was inevitable to fall asleep, even Grace did, it wasn't a bad thing though, they were all exhausted and tired, which was expected, they had been seated at the lobby for almost ten hours, some had arrived at 9:00 am to secure a good space at the lobby due to the crowd and had been there ever since, it was already 8pm now and even though Grace and her mum had arrived a little
“Are You okay?’’. Eliene asked once Grace had seated in the car. “I don’t know Mum”. Grace brought her knees to her head hugging it. She stiffled a moan as she began crying uncontrollably. Her cries were loud and each sound felt more painful than the last to Aliens. “No Amore, No!, don’t cry”. Eliene pulled grace close to her self hugging her tightly. With Her free hands she patted her shoulders softly as she allowed her to cry. Knowing that it was better for her to pour it out, than bottle it in. There was a comfortable mixture of crying and the soft sounds of patting that Eliene was doing and soon Her loud wails were just soft sniffing here and there. “Thanks Mum”. Grace said sitting back in a normal position. "Do you know why I wanted this part so much Mum?" Grace asked after a short while. "Because you've always wanted to be an Actress". Her mum answered turning to face her. "No, You're wro
Chapter 13: The lion and the Lamb. His Limousine was parked in his reserved spot with two other cars parked side by side all belonging to him. Three guards stood besides each car protecting it, though it wasn't needed as they were all bulletproof. As he got closer to the car, the three guards greeted him, he nodded in response as one walked towards him with a file which he handed to him. "From Zack Sir". The guard told him which he nodded understanding, he expected it. Zack always have his guards bring the information , He was his personal investigator, but he was never allowed to enter the company or his house, he could only give his guards as they were trusted and weren't allowed to open parcels but only deliver them to him. He held the parcel before walking towards the limousine and stopping abruptly. "Vincent?". "He's inside Sir". The same guard replied. He nodded before entering the opened car. Vincent immediately starts the car a
Memories of the previous day flooded Grace's mind as she woke up, past emotions still eminent in her mind, a sense of disappointment, but also a sense of understanding. She remembered the little talk she had with her mother and it helped sooth her worrying mind. She rubbed her eyes for a while adjusting it to the already bright day. She turned left checking her little desk clock, it read 8am, she gasped a bit before laughing at herself, she had slept a lot, again. Shaking her head, she turned towards her bed as she began her morning prayers, she expressed her thanks to God for the new day and for the blessings In her life. After thanking God, she prayed for grace throughout the new day before saying her Grace. After the short prayer, she got up from her bed, arranging it in an orderly manner, and heading to the bathroom to officially get the day started.The bath was short but refreshing, helping her stay cool for the day ahead.

It happened so fast that she couldn't realize what had happened at first, only the strong hands that wrapped around her waist brought her mind back to realize she hadn’t been crushed by the car. Then who was holding her? Another question popped on her mind, though Her questions were answered as she slowly opened her eyes to see an all too familiar face standing inches away from her face again. Standing in front of her was the ever handsome and well sculpted Mr Black who was dressed in a blue velvet Armani suit with expensive jewelry to match.

She looked at him completely lost still, shock and surprise where two emotions that stuck on her as she looked at the beautiful creature, who was still looking at her with worry. She
