CHAPTER TWO

~~~~ELISA HOUSE~~~~

"Mother!" Nora screamed out as she searched everywhere for her mother but she was not in the house.

"Nora, What happened?". Her mother who rushed from the garden up to her asked.

"I am no longer getting married to him. He break-up". She said with tears rolling down her pale face.

"Why will he do that? What happened?". She asked as she walked up to Nora.

"I... I cheated..."

Nora couldn't finish up her statement when a slap reached across her face.

"How dare you! Did you want us to go back to those old days when we had to live like perverts? Uh!?" She yelled.

"Mother! Lower your voice or it will bring down this building". Nora muttered.

"And so!? Do I look like I care about this damn building!?"

"All I need is your answer! Do you not like the way he treats us?". She asked as she placed her hand on her b**b staring at her daughter with disgust.

"You caused this sh!t and now you expect me to clean the mess?".

***

After she finished her food, she began to introduce herself to the strange man who seemed like a long-time friend to her.

"I am Ivan, I am a twin but I lost her in a car accident and my stepmom has to take care of me".

"She treated me harshly but I have to be strong cause I promise to make my father proud". She paused.

"Proud? Every child will surely want to do that". Mr. Lucian interrupted.

"Yeah but mine is different because it is a must for me— I have to become an actress by all means because that is what my parents have always wanted me and my sister to become. Yeah, they used to be top scriptwriters". She said with tears rolling down from her hazel eyes.

"It's alright dear. I guess all your long-term wait is over as I will introduce you to the acting world". He said, making her chuckle.

"Why the chuckles?". He asked.

"Cause you are pulling my leg— Do I look like a fool to you?". She asked, staring at him.

"No, besides I haven't introduced myself. I'm Lucs Lucian of Lucs groups". His intro made her jerk off.

Her cheeks immediately flushed red as her heart skipped at who sat beside him. "A... Are you the almighty president of the Lucs? The major shareholder of the starlight movie industry?"

"Yes. It looks like you know much about the acting world".

With a cruel smirk on the corner of his lip, he uttered. "Now you see that I can help you".

“She is too desperate just as I am”. Lucian said inwardly.

"Please help me, I will do anything just to become an actress". She pleaded as she went on her knees.

"Will you do anything?". He asked, staring at her.

"Yes, for sure". She replied with happiness in her voice.

"You have to go on a long-term mission which will be in a contract form between both of us". He said.

“Contracts?". She asked herself.

"Okay, sir but can I know what mission?". She asked with desperation in her voice.

"You will get married to my stepson... walk up to him, lure him, tame him, make him fall in love with you, make him get obsessed and break his heart! That's the mission" he echoed.

"I... Can't". She stuttered as her lip shivered in fright.

"You are going to be acting in the major role of Arrow and Heart, 3 million dollars for your upkeep". His words made her eyes flinch rapidly.

"Did you just say I will be acting the major role of Arrow and Heart? And 3 million dollars for upkeep?". She asked with her heart skimming at each word with her mouth wide open.

"Yeah, and you will be acting more if you cooperate".

"I will sir". She summoned some courage to speak up.

She has no choice but to accept it because if she doesn't, she will never get this sort of opportunity again.

"Failure to do as I instruct you will lead to your death. Take and spend your night there". He stretched a card over to her and walked towards his car.

“Should I be happy or sad?”. Ivan asked herself as she took in the card.

"Why not allow me to give you a ride or you don't take rides from strangers?". He asked, pissing her off.

"I do. In as much as I won't get chopped, why not?". She chuckled and walked into the car.

~~~~~~~~~~

"Luca, why the hell are you doing this to yourself? Don't you know you are hurting?". Grey who managed to bring him home muttered.

"Isn't it worth the pain? Uh!"

"Guy you aren't like this. Pull yourself together".

"I want her back___ So badly". He groaned as he gulped down a full cup of alcohol.

"There are millions of ladies out there, why bother yourself over her when you can get any lady at your feet". Grey spat rudely.

"But I have to get married in 30 days. Which lady will ever love me in between 30 days?". He asked as he paced the room weirdly.

In anger, Grey yelled before walking him into his room. "You are drunk!"

"Why is he acting this way?" Ivan, who just walked into the mansion, asked.

"His fiancee gave him a hot blow". Lucian said with a smirk.

"Uh!?". She gave him a confused look.

"She cheated on him with his best friend".

"Woah! It looks like I came at the right time—best timing." A cruel smile made its way to her face.

Can't believe she changed from a calm, pitiful and caring lady to a lady who doesn't care about anyone's feelings.

"Familiarise yourself here and introduce yourself to him as my guess and try to get close to him."

"Okay, what next?" She asked with concern even if she despised what she was doing.

"On that screen is what he likes and dislikes, as well as his taste in dress and favourite meal." He said.

"Okay —I think I have to start working." She said and sat gently on the couch.

"I will bring you the sexiest dress in this city first thing tomorrow morning so be awake…"
