BACK HOME AGAIN…

After I got to the airport, I went straight home in a taxi.

"Yes, I'm back to where everything began." I took a deep breath, told myself, and walked into the mansion. Everyone, including the maids and guards, looked at me in amazement.

"I was no longer the quiet, shy, naive little girl they knew before. Now, hahaha… I was crazy. Even though I was a small actress in my area, I still worked hard to reach my goals. When I saw my dad, his wife, and their daughter, I stopped.

I gave him a sour smile and asked, "I'm home. Who missed me?"

"What are you doing here?!" Daddy said.

"Honey, don't get so worked up. She just got back. Why don't we let her rest first?" Marie, my stepmom said. She was a quiet witch, a liar. In front of my father, she was also a good actress. I think she taught her daughter how to act like a pro.

"Sister, Good to see you, "said Jolene.

"One thing to change I'm not your sister, Jolly!" I looked over at her.

"Get out, get out, you rude brat, you bad egg!" yelled Dad.

"Honey, she's just a child, so calm down," Marie said.

"Yes, daddy I'm going to talk to the sister, "Jolene said.

You should be grateful to your mum and sister because if it weren't for them, I would have left you by now." Father was angry.

"Mother? I don't remember having one, and I don't think my dad did either. I don't even believe I have any." I said, "Let's go down to the basement," where I've lived since I was a child.

When the two witches from the Eastside came in, I had just started cleaning the basement and putting my things in order.

"It looks like you know where you belong in this house," Marie said.

I smiled and said, "Of course I do, unlike other women who only know their place is in another man's bedroom."

"You slut! how come you're back?" Jolene yelled.

"To see if I can move like your mother, I'm going to... They want to steal married men." I said. I could see how angry they were getting; I was beating them at their own game.

Marie told Gem, "Don't make me mad unless you want to see your dead mother."

"I would definitely see her. But what about you? hahaha… you big daddy Mr. devil is waiting for you." Marie was too mad, so she put up her hand and hit me.

She told him, "I promise you, you won't live long, just like your mother."

"Let's see who gets to meet big daddy first," Jolene said as she followed her mother around the room dancing. I ground my teeth in frustration.

"Also, I hope you don't forget what I told you when we were 16. I promised that I would take away everything you love and care about." Jolene said.

When I picked up the phone, I saw that it was my company calling. I shook my head.

"Hello?"

"Miss Gem?"

"In danger."

"Yes, We'll be waiting for you tomorrow. Your manager has already been chosen, and auditions have been set up. Tomorrow, please be here very early."

"I'll do it. Thanks."

I sigh.

Let's see what happens tomorrow.

At a press conference, Jolene took all the attention.

The girls said, "Aww, she's a goddess!" Everyone wanted to be with her, and everyone wanted to be with her.

Soon, the press would start.

"Wow, goddess Jolene, you are shining like a diamond today." The woman who was asking her questions said.

Jolene said, "Aww, stop it, I'm blushing."

Both of the women laughed.

"I've heard that you'll play the female lead in the new movie Rate My Heart RMH?"

"Yes, we'll be working with other acting industries this time instead of auditioning," Jolene said.

"Speaking of businesses, has our goddess ever thought about going into the IM industry?" She did.

Jolene gave a big smile and a sigh "It is the dream of every actress and actor to be there. I know that one day I'll not only get there but also be there." Jolene was so sure of herself.

"I've heard that the President of IM is very handsome and charming but stays out of the spotlight!"

"That's what I've heard too," Jolene said.

"Have you ever thought about getting married to the President of IM, who is the king of entertainment, and becoming the first lady of entertainment?" She did. Jolene was a donkey that liked to dance when someone threw a shiny carrot at it.

"I don't know. I can't make a decision right now. Who knows if my future husband is watching this show," she joked, and everyone laughed.

"Let's get down to business. What's your next movie, RMH?"

"Well, I'm going to do everything I can to be the best. Just wait until the movie comes out. You'll love it." She spoke, gave her a wink, and smiled.

"Thank you, Jolene, for the goddess."

I was sitting with my new boss and the head of our industry.

"I want you to be in that movie, so try to get the part of Jolene's older sister. I've heard about how well you did in acting back in the U.S., and I hope you do well here "Mr Festus said.

"But, sir, that part is a little too difficult... Don't forget, this is only her first movie."

"Yes, Manager Ruth, I'll do it. No, I can do it. Show me the script reading," I told her. She looked at me with surprise and handed me the script. I asked her to show me the hardest scene, and she did. It's when the older sister, who was a psychopath, act hurt, happy, plain, and full at the same time. I said, "Ha, that's easy, let's go."

"Where?" asked Ruth.

"We don't want to miss the chance to try out," I said.

"But you haven't been practising," she said.

"Don't worry, I'm already full. Let's go.

There isn't much time left." She looked at Mr Festus, who did nothing but smile and nod.
