“I want more money and I need it to always come directly from you.” Austin quickly stated without mincing words.

He could see that Prince had refused to listen to him. It meant that he had to keep doing things his way.

Austin just has to keep blackmailing him.

“You are dumber than I thought. Look, Austin. You better go and work hard if you want to earn some money. I'm not giving you any more money.” Prince gave him one last cold glare before walking away.

"When you're done watching the TV, you can find your way out of my house.” Prince added as he began to ascend the stairs without looking back.

He knew that Austin was crazy but not crazy enough to bite the hands that fed him.

If Austin decides to go to the media and ask for some money in exchange for information, he won't be getting so much from them. Unlike what he gains from Prince.

Prince was just indulging his excesses because of the blood relationship they have.

He was earlier afraid that Austin might reveal his identity to ever

    “We finally meet again." The person spoke in a little loud voice and they turned to the direction of the voice.Prince saw that it was Casper Woods and his wife, Margaret Klinton. They had bumped into each other the previous day and Casper said some mean things to him.Prince had also given him a little taste of his own medicine and Casper swore to make him pay.Casper had an intention of making Prince lose his job because of their last encounter.“Come on, let's not deal with this." George whispered to Prince who only smiled back at him.“Don't worry, I can handle him. He's not a big deal.”George and Prince stood in a spot, waiting for the couple to catch up with them.When they stood face to face with each other, Prince waited for Casper to throw demeaning words at him like he did the last time. However, he turned to George and forced out a smile before saying to him.“Did you say that you're his boss?" “Yeah, that is accurate. Do you have a problem with that?” George gave him a r

    Lara instantly answered the call as if she was expecting Kyle's call.They had just parted ways minutes ago but somehow, Lara wanted to hear from him.There was something Kyle wanted to say to her but he was holding back. It only meant that it's something serious.Lara never imagined that she'd get a breakup from Kyle over a phone call.“I'm sorry, Lara. I can't continue this relationship. I'm calling off the engagement and it's a good thing that we haven't announced a wedding date yet.”"I don't think this relationship will continue to work because I don't see any future in it.”For a moment, Lara went completely dumb as she tried to comprehend the words that Kyle was saying.He must be bluffing.When Lara found her voice, she managed to mutter. “You're joking, right?" “I'm serious about everything I just said. It's obvious that we're not meant for each other. If we are, our engagement should have brought about progress." “It should have brought about a lot of good things but the r

    Lara clenched onto the birthday invitation card from Avery and began to squeeze it in her hands, throwing it into the trash immediately.She has no business with Avery and wouldn't dare go to her birthday party. That'd mean disrespecting herself.If she dared attend the party, she'd be the object of discussion at the place and would surely be humiliated.Many other celebrities would be present and they'd use the opportunity to rub her failed career on her face.“Come on, let's get out of this place." Kyle said to her and they started towards his car.When they were settled inside it, Lara gave him the answer to the question he had earlier asked."The doctor said that I'm stressed and it's affecting the baby. He said that I'm thinking too much and if care is not taken, I might lose the baby.”Kyle pursed his lips and stole a glance at her before giving a response.“It's a good thing that you heard it from the doctor. He's a professional in the field and you must listen to him.”"After

    Kyle and Lara drove out of the hospital and they went to a restaurant to have lunch together.The couple ordered their lunch and had started eating when Lara asked him a question.“Have you heard anything from the guy that was asked to investigate Prince. What did he find out?" “He actually found nothing on Prince.” Kyle muttered angrily and continued his meals.He was just angry about the whole situation. Things were getting worse and he could not control it.When Lara heard the update about Prince, she was somehow relieved. She still did not believe that Prince was capable of ruining their careers.If it had turned out to be Prince behind their downfall, she wouldn't be able to face him when they accidentally meet next time.Prince was going to make a joke out of her misery.Kyle saw Lara's expression when he relayed the news and inquired. “Tell me, are you relieved to know that Prince is not behind everything." Lara did not give him a response. She only focused on her food but k

    After a moment of silence, Prince gave a response to George's question.“I've thought about it but what do you want me to do? It's going to be hard for me to find real love especially after I reveal my identity.”"I had to work as a waiter in my own restaurant just to find love. And when Lara came by, I thought that my search was over but I was wrong.”"Lara is just like every other girl and who knows what the next person I meet would be like.”"You have to give it a trial. Maybe you should search for love again before revealing your identity." George suggested and got a questioning look from Prince.“I think it's a good suggestion. You see, I haven't really thought of that." “Yeah, I'll advise you to get a job at a different restaurant. You must go to a place where people frequent. I'm sure you'll find someone who would love you as a waiter.”"But you must never be a live-in son-in-law again. You can just rent a simple apartment to show her if she's really interested.”"Moreover, yo

    George had to leave the brothers alone the previous night.He knew that anytime Austin comes to Prince's house, it was always about money. At the end, Prince would end up giving in to his excessive demands.He was being paid a monthly allowance for doing nothing. And as if that's not enough, he'd spend the money lavishly and come demanding for more.“I told him off. He won't be getting anything from me apart from the monthly allowance he gets.”"We both know that he won't be able to do anything because he'd end up cutting off his means of livelihood.”“It's not like I did something wrong which he's threatening to reveal. I'm just not ready to show myself to the world and he's taking advantage of it.”George nodded in satisfaction. Just what he wanted to hear."It's good to hear that you're taking charge of the situation. Austin won't be able to blackmail you again. He just has to make do with whatever is given to him.”"Yeah, that's right.”Prince was soon done with his breakfast and

    She wanted to run back to her car but it was too late. And at that time, she could not cover her face with the little cloth on her hands.“Look, It's Lara Norman. The movie star everyone is talking about. Come on, bring out your phone, let's make a video of her.”"Yes, make sure you capture her face.” As the onlookers continued to converse amongst themselves, Lara saw a few bring out their phones to make videos of her. However, she didn't want that and quickly covered her face but that didn't stop the people.She could not also tell them to stop because they wouldn't listen to her.When she saw that they would not stop making videos of her, she hurried away and met with Kyle who was still waiting for his phone.Fortunately for Lara, the people did not follow her and the mobile phone department had just a few people who were trying to buy a new phone.At first, Kyle could not recognize Lara because her face was covered. But he quickly recognized her when he saw Derrick behind her.“Wh

    Kyle would not go completely broke even though his career has been put to a stop. However, he won't be able to afford the lifestyle that he was already used to.His standard of living went very high as he was one of the best actors. But since he won't be earning from movie projects any longer, he has to lower his standard.While he was earning big as an actor, he acquired a few commercial spaces where he rented out to small business owners.The occupants of the commercial space pays him only a few thousand dollars monthly and he'd have no choice but to survive on the rents which would be barely enough for the standard he had set for himself.In the past, he spent hundreds of thousands dollars a month but now, he has to make do with a few thousand dollars which would be difficult to adjust to.Kyle got dressed up and got into the car. “Drive me to the mall." He said to his driver who obeyed immediately.The man drove off immediately and on the way, he stared at Kyle from the mirror and

    Kyle got to the dining table and drank his hangover soup before having his breakfast.After breakfast, a thought came to his mind and he decided to call his manager. Maybe the man must have spoken with some of the production houses.It had really been a while since they spoke to each other. The man, on the other hand, had not even called to find out how things were going with Kyle and Lara.Swiftly, he took his phone and put a call across to Mr Chamberlain.The phone rang a few times before the man finally answered the call.“Hello Mr. Chamberlain. It's been a while since we spoke to each other. Tell me, have you been able to speak with any producer on our behalf." “Kyle, uh… No producer has called me for your sake and when I tried to bring your name up before them, they seemed not to be interested in hearing anything about you." “I'm sorry about that." The man replied and there was silence between before Kyle thought about something and inquired.“Wait, does it mean that you've bee
