chapter 13

.•♫ Mr and Ms. Act-ress ♫•.×÷×÷×÷×÷×÷×ＲＥＢＡＣＣＡ And that's how, Nick started to behave. I'm his obsession. But.. I can only see a pure torture. I don't know why he loves to torture me but he never gave up. Don't you guys ever think he is a green flag which I am avoiding. No. Nick and green flag? Never. They are polar apart. Because, he fucked many poor girls. He blackmailed many of my partners to get down from our company. He tried to drug me. He tried to kill Len. And of course, Len didn't like the thoughts of him and this made, Len worry about me. We started to spend more time. Once, Nick misbehaved and seduced with me and the same day they got into some fight. Also, not to mention.. A very good fame over night.That's it. Len started to be over protective towards me. Len started to disguise Nick. And, Nick.. Vice versa. My dad, Jeter is a businessman and he was in his 60's. So, I handle both of our companies. But before that, my dad signed an agreement with Hall's Era for promoting our publishing house. Even, this made Nick's work easy. I tolerated it enough. But, today.. It was overboard. He literally tried to sell our copyrights to some other publishing house. And yes, I didn't tolerate that. He had tried to torture me and Len.. But, our careers can't be ruined because of him. So, he himself.. Backed off saying he can't work which was good news. If the point comes to me, I cared for both of them. I never confessed my feelings to Len because somewhere I blamed myself for ruining his friendship. "Rebecca Jeter will never do that." That's how Len supports me every time in the press conferences and controversies. So, how can I betray his trust? Even though he strictly has to follow the rules which are made by his parents. But, he's always a mature and smart boy I will ever meet. His parents don't like me. Yeah! They blame me here. I mean only Jocob Watson, Len's dad doesn't like me where Kaye, Len's mom is a sweet heart. She loves me. Haha.."Hello? Where are you, ma'am?" I heard him. Len. I immediately came back from my zoning out. "No where. Just beside you." I say chuckling where he rolls his eyes. "We should go now. Look, Mr. Jocob keeps on calling me as if I was a little kid." He says where I roll my eyes now. Like why? Literally Len is pissed off by his own father. I mean, He is twenty-six and still Jocob behaves so possessive around him. I- Never mind. I take my seat and he drops me at our publishing house. "Wait Reb!!.. I wanna.. Ah! Actually, Meet me today near Lake's View Cafe. Tonight. At 8 PM. Bye.." He says without waiting for my reply. He drives away immediately and I scoff at that. Shy Len is cute sometimes. I smiled at that thought and was about to enter my cabin.But, I paused and gazed at dad, who was sitting on my chair and it seemed there were some people around him. The cabin was crowded. He actually doesn't stop here to meet me, then why today? What happened?Shit! Copyrights thing? "Dad?" I interrupted the meeting and my dad smiled at me. A nervous one."I am coming, Reb! Wait for me outside." He says to me where I try to argue but he glares at me. I half heartedly nod and walk out of the cabin. I wait for him for an hour and he walks out after that. "Dad? What happened? Who were they? Is this about copy rights?" I start my QNA with him where he smiles big. "Nothing, kiddo. Actually, they were new colleagues. Hmm.. To be said my old ones. I rejected one of them and they got furious. Nothing to worry. Let's go home. I am so tired." He says and I let out a relief chuckle."You scared me, dad. You are turning to 60's but still you have enemies. Insanity on peaks." I say and he laughs. "Yeah!! Why not? If you have enemies, that means.. You are getting successful, Kiddo. Well, take me as an inspiration." He says hugging me and I hug him back. "You are always my inspiration, Dad. And You want me to live till 60's? Are you serious? I really don't wanna live in my sixties. Maybe.. Forties are enough.. Even, fifties. But I won't make it out till the sixtie..." I was cut by his words. "Shut up!! I will kill you if you say another word. Don't wanna live? Stupid girl. Everyone wishes to live for a hundred years but here look at you?" Here goes my typical dad. He shouts at me where I close my eyes. It's going to be some argument now. "Anyways, I can't argue with you right now. Let's go and have some Champagne. It's been a long time." I say and he looks at me in disbelief. "Dad!! Please.. Sorry! I will stay a thousand years. Happy?" I say with my pleasing eyes and he walks away, humming a little. But Len? God! I need to meet him as well. "Dad!! Len called me. So, can we drink now or let's do this after I meet him?" I ask him where he smiles big. Okay!! I got him."Dad.. No..""Aww... You are going to meet your lover. Okay Okay. Fine, have a good date." He says and wicks at me. "Dad... It's not like that. I-" I try to say but whom am I kidding? "Then what? Len called you then it must be something important for you, right? I mean he is more important for you." He says and I immediately nod as No. Of course, my dad comes first. Then Len. "Dad!! Please, now stop teasing me." I say and he hugs me. "Len is a good boy for you, Kiddo. Go and meet him. I can wait for you." He says and I hug him back. "And yes, don't forget your protection." He says and I groan in disbelief. "We are not that deep, dad. I don't know about him but he is having Marley. His childhood best friend. I mean, this world ships both of them. Even, the same goes with their families. Maybe.. I don't have a chance." I say sadly and my dad makes me sit on the nearby couch. "Kiddo! Always remember, close negative eyes.. Open positive. Len always cared for you. He always fights for you. But, doesn't mean.. My daughter will get hurt. If he is happy then.. You are happy too. Right?" He asks and I nod. We had this conversation before too. And this is what dad taught me. He says "If we love someone.. We have to take part in their happiness too." "Yes, if he loves Marley.. I'll stay away from him. But I will never do something like Nick." I say to dad and he gives a proud smile. "That's my strong girl. Now, go and work. We will meet tonight. And Champagne, forget that. It can wait." He says and gives me a last hug. I hug him too and after that, he walks out of the room. *Sighs*My whole life just sucks. Time ticks to seven in the evening. Okay!! It's time to meet Len. ×÷×÷×÷×÷×÷×A/N -Hey Lovies! So what do you guys think? Will Rebecca confesses her feelings to Len? And what are your thoughts about living? Comment down.
