"The secret agent I asked to bring you back told me about what happened when he saw you at your mom's house. He told me you were about killing yourself with a knife. I really can't tell what would have happened to me if you died. Please don't ever try taking your life again."

"Grandfather, I promise I won't ever try that again. Now I know I have a family, I have no reason to commit suicide again." Elmo assured the old man.

"Alright, I hope you keep your words. Uh I also had the agent to investigate where you have been living all these years after your mom's death and he told me you have been staying with your in-laws. I can't believe you were always treated badly by those mothers and daughters duo!" He said.

How could they treat you like a worthless? I'll make sure they pay for all they have done in ten folds! Firstly I want you to tell me what punishment you want to punish them for all the unjust done to you, if you want I can get her ruined forever so that even if they tried getting back to the top they will only fail!" Anger filled him as he muttered those words out.

"Grandfather I don't think you need to get involved in this and as for Kiara and her family will definitely do something about them." He said in a cold tone.

"Okay fine I wouldn't interfere just make sure you make the right decision." He said looking at his grandson's cold demeanor.

"Okay grandfather."

"Let's go back inside." The old master said and they both went back into the villa.

Meanwhile at Fallon city, Elmo's mother in law was so happy about how things ended between Elmo and her daughter.

"That impoverished son in law of mine is finally gone. I'm  so happy that my daughter won't be with that poor, low wrecked man. Now she will be with Mr Henry after all Mr Henry is wealthy and influential." Camilla smiled to herself as she imagined Kiara and Mr Henry being together.

Just as she was smiling to herself she saw Kiara walking down the stairs with two luggages in her hand.

"Where are you going with this luggages?" Camilla asked, looking confused.

"Mom, we are going on a vacation to another country. I really need to clear my head for something so I feel leaving the country for a while is the best.

"Okay so have you booked the tickets?" Camilla asked.

"Yes. In fact our flight will take off in the next two hours."

Elmo could be seen on the terrace looking at the dark clouds with a glass of red wine.

His nut brown eyes listlessly looked out at the already dark clouds. There were no emotions on his handsome face.

He had not even drank any of the wine

Holding the glass in his hands, he stared at the shining star.

However, there was an air of loneliness and desolation about him, as if he had been abandoned by the entire world and was only left with the moonlight..

The image of the person who used to call him Elmo which used to sound totally different to him flashed past his mind.

When he saw her with another man, his cold hearted expression went down at that moment.

Although she has always said he doesn't love her, he knew deep down that she knew that his love for her was incomparable.

But what happened at the end of everything; pain and heartbreak..

He can't believe he got cheated on.

Elmo tightened his grip on his wine glass.

The night looks beautiful but with her not by his side, the beautiful moon somehow looks meaningless.

He snapped out of his thoughts when the chilly breeze hit him.

Elmo immediately gave a call to Peter, his best friend and told him about everything that has happened to him so far at the Lara's mansion.

“Elmo, I am surely going to come to the villa tomorrow so be expecting me. Make sure you text me the address. Okay bye!" Peter said happily and Elmo hung up. Still with his phone, his finger pressed on the message button. He wants to send a message to Kiara asking how she is doing but then stops himself after remembering what happened yesterday.

How could he forget what he saw in the hotel?

“No I can't..

Whereas at the new mansion which Kiara bought for a change of environment, she was on the balcony looking at the beautiful shining star with a gloomy expression on face.

Just looking at her back, one could see the alluring figure she possesses. Without even looking at her face, anyone seeing her back would definitely know she's a beauty.

Her worried eyes were just looking at the dark clouds. Her eyes kept staring at her phone from time to time. 

"Why hasn't Elmo called yet?" 

She was worried that he has been away from the house for two nights now.

"Could it be that he has gone back to Lara's mansion and didn't meet anyone there. Should I ask the housekeeper whether or not Elmo came back?" She picked up her phone and dialed a number which was picked by an old man.

“Has Elmo come back yet?" She asked and when the old man said no she hung up immediately.

Just then, Camilia came to the balcony and saw her daughter's worried face.

“Mom, do you think Elmo is still upset?" Kiara asked immediately after seeing Camillia.

Hearing her daughter calling Elmo's  name. She frowned.

"Why are you calling that worthless man's name?" She asked coldly.

"Mom, Elmo left home looking angry yesterday and I don't know how he is now. I'm sure he must be sleeping on the street or maybe under the bridges. And what if some harm comes to him?"

"Elmo left willingly, we weren't the one who chased him out. So what's our fault with him being harmed?"

"Mom, I'm to blame."

" I was the one who slept with Mr Henry because you said so. You told me if I slept with Mr Henry, he would make me act in this new movie which would make me famous all over the world and not only in the country."

"Kiara!" Camilla raised her voice. " Don't tell me you have started having feelings for that low wrecked man?!"

"Mom…uh uhm how could y-you think so? Of course I am not feeling anything for him."

Hearing her reply, Camilla's expression changed to a sweet one.

 "That's my girl! You know I want the best for you; don't worry, I will introduce you to someone who is wealthy. When I am talking of wealth, I am talking of someone who would be able to buy the lastest things without any stress."

"You should only listen to my words and I assure you that if you listen to me, you will surely be happy. You know you are the most beautiful woman ever who many wealthy men would be willing to marry without any delay. Even many ladies are dying and wishing to have this face of yours. You know if I announce that you're single, thousands of men will be in the queue just to marry you. And in fact you're aware that Mr Henry likes you."

After Camilla feels she has somehow made her daughter understand, she leaves the room feeling a little happy. "I don't care if he gets hurt, all I know is that I am happy that he has left for good." She smiled weirdly.

After Camilla left, Kiara came back to her state of thinking.

"Elmo I hope you're not gone forever. I hope you will come back?" 

She wanted to call him but couldn't due to the fact that she thought Elmo might see it as though she was begging him to come back. If she called him, it would be a total shame to her, after all she was the one who chased him out herself.

"Yes I know Elmo will come back. After all, he has no place to stay." She assured herself with that word as she left the balcony to her room.

  • Chapter 181: Regret

    Wasn't she the one planning the downfall of Lily, so how was Lily able to win against her!? God! Why! Camellia, who had weakened on the sofa, had to take a hold of herself. She managed to regain her composure, before saying. "Kaira, sobbing won't do a thing. Remember Elmo?" She asked, out of the blue. Kiara glanced at her. "Elmo? Why are you bringing him up all of a sudden?" "Remember, Mr Henry had said Elmo is now wealthy but we refuse to accept it. What if he's really wealthy, why don't we give it a try and meet him?" Kaira shook her head in disagreement. " I don't believe it and even if he's now wealthy it's pointless! Have you forgotten how I said Elmo treated me at the film launching party? He really won't help me!" She said "Shut up, Kiara." Camellia snapped. "Having a doubtful mind won't help you. Let's believe that Elmo would be wealthy and he would help us!" Camellia yelled in a harsh tone. Kiara's mouth closed. She didn't dare to refute Camellia's words knowing fully

  • Chapter 180: Heavy blow

    "Mom, honestly, there was nothing important between Lily and me. She merely asked for forgiveness and such," Kiara recounted the restroom incident to Camellia."Is that all Lily said? She didn't cause any trouble, did she?" Camellia's tone indicated her uncertainty to what Kiara was saying.In Camellia's perspective, Lily might have threatened her daughter, which explained Kiara's reluctance in explaining what had happened in the restroom."Mom, I'm not lying whatsoever!" Kiara felt wronged, seeing the doubtful look Camellia was giving her."If you're really telling the truth and not hiding anything, then why didn't tell me all this when I was asking you?" She gave her an I-caught- you look."I refused to tell you anything, because I feared you might go meet Lily and create another chaos again." Kiara responded truthfully."oh, so that's it.""Yes." Kiara said. "When Lily apologized to me, I felt it was all a pretense. I'm sure she has something up her sleeve." "You think so." Camell

  • Chapter 179: Warning

    Seeing the expression on Kiara's face, Camellia finally get her mind straight and kept calm. She knew forcing Kiara to speak might result in something else so it was better to just hold her calm and wait for Jiara to cool down. Silence befalls around them. None of the two said a word, only heavy breath echoed next to them.Kiara already knew that Camellia was giving her time to get her mind straight. The feelings and weariness back at the restroom had made her a little suffocated that was why she was like this now and the only way to remove those feelings was to keep calm and get rid of those feelings.After a good two minutes, Kiara who had finally gotten hold of herself spoke."Mom, I'm fine. There's nothing much to worry about." She squeezed those thoughts out of her mouth with the intent of trying to comfort her mom.The thought of telling her Mom everything that had conspired between Lily and her at the restaurant.She was afraid that if she should bring it up, then maybe anot

  • Chapter 178: Doubt

    Lily offered a small smile. "I appreciate that, Kiara. Maybe we can find a way to work together without all the tension. After all, we both have roles to play in the film."As she smiled, her pretty and classy face shone across the restroom. Based on her beauty alone, it will make others see her words as nothing but righteous. Even if they did hear and plead words and some doubt still lingers in their heart, it would immediately be dissolved upon seeing the beauty in front of them.However,Kiara was different. She sneered inwardly, she wasn't that gullible to stupidly believe any pleading words from Lily. She knew that Lily accepted to be the second female lead with the intent of snatching the female lead role from before, so how could she be so stupid and foolish to be easily fooled with this whole facade from Lily.Even if she was the one in place of Lily, she would not simply foil all her plans and foolishly or pitifully find peace with herself. Never!As Lily kept on speaking, Ki

  • Chapter 177: Only on the surface

    Lily's eyes narrowed, she at first thought Camellia was just one of those crazy fans of hers. She had wanted to even force a smile, but upon hearing the word of Camellia, she asked. "Yes, I'm Lily. Who are you and which daughter am I troubling?" She asked, with a curt tone. Camellia could already see that she's a proud and cocky actress. Just who the hell does she think she's to speak to he with such tone. She managed to restrain her anger for later."I'm Camellia, Kiara's mother and I know you know why I'm here." She frowned, as he muttered those words out. Lilky ewned closer to her chair, before she spoke with a mocking smile, "Oh, you must be Camellia, Kiara's dear mother. I've heard so much about you."Camellia's lips curled into a disdainful sneer as she retorted, "And I've heard enough about you, too, Lily. You should be ashamed of yourself for what you've done to my daughter."Kiara had been on the verge of intervening, hoping to de-escalate the situation, but her mother's c

  • Chapter 176: Fierce protective instinct

    Camellia's face remained widened for a while, as she heard the words of Chloe."What are you really saying? Mr Henry is a good friend of my daughter Kiara." The truth was that Camellia had never really told her friends anything much about Mr Henry. She had only randomly told them that Mr Henry was their helper and also a friend to Kiara, but who would have expected that Chloe would see through all their lies.How would she have known all this!?Her mind kept on running differently.For Chloe to be able to confidently tell her all her lies, then it means that the others already knew.No, that's not possible.She silently prayed for it not to be true."You must be wondering how I know? Well, let me be good and reply to you. I got to know.." she paused as she quickly corrected herself. "No, we all got to know from the day we started noticing that this so-called person, you call your daughter friends and helper is always visiting your house." She said,with a sly and mocking smile."
