Chapter 31
Jason Miller did not take losses quietly.After the board meeting two days ago, he had sat in his car for twenty minutes without starting the engine. His hands were on the wheel, jaw tight, staring at the road ahead. Chloe had walked out of that room with her company still in her name. That alone was enough to make his blood hot. But what burned worse was that nobody could explain how she had done it. Who was the investor? Where did the money come from? No one could give him a straight answer.He drove home that night, telling himself it didn't matter. Starlight Studios was a dead horse. Her little film project was a desperate joke. She was buying herself a few more weeks, and then the studio would crumble on its own. He just had to be patient.But patience had never been Jason's strong side.By the next morning, he was on the phone with his father."She bought herself time with some shadow investor," Jason said, pacing his penthouse office. "No name. No face. Just a wire from an LLC

The air inside the studio felt heavy. It was only ten o’clock in the morning, but the energy that had been there the night before was gone. Chloe sat at her desk with her head in her hands. The email from Gordan’s office was still open on her laptop. It was formal and brief. It said that the Caldwell Estate was no longer available for filming. It mentioned that another party had offered a better price and that the contract was already signed. It did not mention Jason Miller by name, but Chloe did not need to be told. She knew his touch. This was a direct strike to the heart of her project.A soft knock came at the door. Tessa and Riley walked in. They did not look happy. They had both seen the update on the production calendar. Riley looked like she wanted to kick something, while Tessa just looked tired.“Is it true?” Riley asked. She dropped into the chair across from Chloe. “Did we really lose the estate? We were supposed to start moving the gear there tomorrow morning.”Chloe lo

Chloe looked at Alex and then looked back at her laptop screen. She knew that Alex had bought the Blue Water land. She had been there when the news broke that the land was worth two hundred million dollars. She knew he was rich now. But she had never even thought about using that land for her movie. To her, that land was a business asset for the city. It was a place for a highway and for big government projects. It was not a place for a small movie crew with cameras and cables."Alex, I know you own the land," Chloe said. Her voice was tired and she sat back in her chair. "But that does not change the fact that the Blue Water site is a mess. It is a construction zone. The government has their people all over it. There are security guards and fences. There are engineers measuring the dirt every single hour. We cannot just walk in there and start filming a scene. We would be in the way of a national project."Alex did not look worried at all. He leaned against the door frame and kept

"How much would you charge us?" Chloe asked. "We do not have the budget for a place like that. Even a small fee for a site that big would be more than all the money we have left. We would be broke before we even finished the first week of shooting."Alex smiled and shook his head. He looked like he found the question funny."I am not charging you anything." "I told you before that I am here to help you and I'm your husband Chloe. The land is sitting there. The construction for the highway will not start for another few months. Right now, it is just empty space with a great view. I am giving it to you for free. You can bring your crew and your trucks and your cameras. I will tell the security team to give you whatever you need. If you need power, we will bring in generators. If you need a place for the actors to sit, we will set up tents.""Alex, that is too much," Chloe whispered. "You are giving up a lot just to help this movie. You could be renting that space to developers for thou

The move to the Blue Water site happened faster than anyone expected. By the next morning, large white trucks were parked across the gravel. The sun was just starting to rise over the river. The light hit the water and made it look like silver. Chloe stood near the edge of the property and looked at the massive cranes and the half-finished concrete structures. It looked powerful. It looked like the perfect place to film a movie.Riley was running around with a clipboard. She was shouting orders to the crew. She looked happier than she had in weeks. The director of photography was already setting up his cameras. He kept pointing at the bridge in the background and talking about how beautiful the shot would be.Alex stood a short distance away. He was talking to his security team. He looked like he belonged there. He was the owner of this giant place, but he did not act like he was better than anyone else. He simply made sure that the gates were open and the paths were clear for the

Chloe turned to him. She thought she had heard him wrong. "What did you say?""I said I can do it," Alex repeated. His voice was steady and calm. "The costume has a mask. The camera will be far enough away that no one will know it is not Marcus. I know how to jump and I know how to fight.""Alex, no," Chloe said. She grabbed his arm. "That is fifteen feet high. You are not a professional stuntman. You can't just jump off a building because Marcus is being a coward."Alex smiled at her. It was a small, confident smile. "Chloe, I told you I would help you finish this movie. This is just another way to help. I am more than just a nobody. I can handle a little jump.""But the fight scene," Sam said. He looked Alex up and down. "It's not just a jump. You have to fight three trained stunt performers. They are going to move fast. If you don't know what you are doing, someone will get hurt.""I know what I am doing," Alex said. He looked at Sam with a look that was so serious it made the dire

Jason Miller sat in his small and dark apartment. The walls felt like they were closing in on him. He looked at the screen of his phone. He had seen the social media posts from the film crew. He saw the pictures of the Blue Water site. He saw the cranes and the river is now beautiful because Alex cleaned the dirt away from it.Most of all, he saw the smiles on the faces of Riley and Chloe.Every time they succeeded, he felt like he was losing even more. His life was a mess. Sarah was gone. His money was gone. His reputation was in the trash. He blamed everyone but himself. He blamed Alex Reed. He blamed Chloe. He wanted to see them fail. He wanted to see the whole movie project burn to the ground.He picked up his phone and called a number he had used only a few times before. It was a man named Mick. Mick was a person who did dirty work for the right price. Jason did not have much money left, but he had enough to cause some damage.“Hello?” a deep and gravelly voice answered.“It i

Alex stepped into the light. He did not say a word. He twisted the man’s arm, and a loud pop echoed through the air. The thug dropped the hammer and opened his mouth to scream. Alex hit him once in the throat and then once in the chin.The man went limp and fell to the ground without making a sound.“Hey! Who’s there?” another thug shouted. He had seen his friend fall.The other nine men turned around. They saw Alex standing there. He looked calm. He looked like he was waiting for a bus.“You chose the wrong place to break into,” Alex said. His voice was low and cold.“Get him!” Mick shouted. “It’s just one guy! Break his legs!”Three men rushed at Alex at once. They swung their metal pipes. Alex did not move until the last second. He stepped to the left, letting the first pipe miss his head. He grabbed the second man by the shirt and threw him into the third man. They both crashed into a pile of wooden pallets.Alex moved like a blur. He was no longer the quiet driver. He was a maste
Chapter 39
Chloe Miller drove back from the Blue Water site with her heart pounding against her ribs. The image of those ten men lying on the ground would not leave her mind. They were large, scary men who looked like they were used to hurting people. Yet, someone had defeated all of them in total silence. She kept looking at the note in her pocket. The words were simple but they felt very heavy. Someone was watching over her project. Someone was protecting her dreams when she was not even there to see it.She pulled her car into the parking lot of the apartment building. The night air was cool, but she felt hot from the adrenaline still moving through her body. She walked up the stairs and opened the door to the apartment she shared with Alex. She expected the place to be dark and for Alex to be asleep. After all, he had worked a long day as Victoria’s driver. Victoria was not a kind boss, and Chloe knew that being her driver was exhausting.When she opened the door, she saw a light coming fr

Chloe did not argue with him. She knew Alex was a man of few words. He never boasted, and he never complained. Even if he had fought ten men to save her movie, he was the kind of person who would never admit it. He would rather she think he was just a simple driver who was clumsy with a car engine.“Wait here,” Chloe said. She went to the bathroom and found the small green first aid kit. She brought it back to the kitchen and sat down at the small wooden table. “Sit down, Alex. Let me fix it.”Alex hesitated for a second. He looked like he wanted to say no, but then he saw the look in Chloe's eyes. He sighed softly and sat down across from her. The kitchen was very quiet. The only sound was the ticking of the clock on the wall and the distant sound of a car driving by outside.Chloe opened the kit and took out a bottle of antiseptic and some clean cotton pads. She soaked a pad in the liquid and gently pressed it against the cut on his knuckles. Alex did not flinch. He did not even bl
