Sold? Oh Please. Chapter 290

Mary, Patricia manager and publisher wrapped a coat around her star as soon as the scene ended. Patricia was done for the day, so they simply packed up and headed for her vehicle.
"I need to use the bathroom." Patricia whispered into Mary's ear and walked back.
Mary headed to the vehicle, where she saw Tony alight with his actress. Choi Yujin, she was a support role, she was no Jessie but Mary could see her appeal.
She opened her mouth to call for him but he already walked into the building. So instead she stood waiting for Patricia. Who was currently taking way too much time for just a bathroom break. As she began to walk in to look for her, Patricia dashed out the building, her eyes filled with both rage and tears.
"Patricia?!" Mary exclaimed as she regarded the woman tugging on the vehicle door.
"Why the hell isn't it open?!" She yelled.
"Calm down, calm down. It's still locked." Mary said applying substantial pressure to the key, the door clicked open.
Admist all her frantic pulling she finally managed to pull open the door and dash inside. Mary walked around to the driver seat immediately and got it, shutting the car she didn't quite start it yet. There were more pressing matters.
"What the hell happened Patricia?"
Patricia shook her head. "I can't tell you, I can't tell-"
"Patricia!" Mary yelled causing the already startled woman to look up. Mary watched her from the mirror. "What is going on? What happened? Tell me."
"I'm screwed, I'm screwed." She mumbled looking frantic and quite mad actually.
"What do you mean you're screwed?"
"That video? I know who sent it to my grandfather's party." She said.
"You do? Who?"

"It was Jessie." She affirmed.
"Jessie?"
"Well actually it was Tony but I'm sure Jessie told him to do it, he said she didn't but she..." Patricia cried.
"She knows as well... why are you crying? This isn't enough to make you cry, what else happened?" Mary asked. Still trying to wrap her mind around the fact that Tony would actually tell her something like that. No way Tony did that himself, he didn't have the capability of bypassing Lee cybersecurity.
"He... he said he has more videos, he said he has, he had, no he said he has a video message from Hyun Jin, before he died. It's, it's about my family." Patricia spoke, struggling to breathe through all the words and crying.
"What do you mean about you family? Do you really believe that?" Mary asked.
"He... Hyun Jin, he... I gave him a file, it contained all the dirty secrets, well the ones I has access too while he was still alive." She said slowly.
"What?!" Mary exclaimed. "Why the hell would you do that?!"
"Incase! Incase grandfather found out about him, he needed something to defend himself with." She wept.
"Was the auction house there?" Mary asked but Patricia remained quiet. "For crying out loud Patricia was the auction house there?!"
"No! I didn't have any evidence or a paper trail of the auction house. George hardly makes any mistakes." She mumbled.
"Well then..." Mary sighed and relaxed visibly. "It appears there is an upside to that uptight man. What was in the file?"
"Um... there was, there was..." she tried to think.
Mary turned to face her. "You have to remember every single thing in that file. Every, single, thing."

"And Tony has that? How sure are you?"
"So sure that I saw it myself before coming here." Patricia replied, her initial shock fading away and her tears drying up.
And suddenly Mary knew why she had been so frantic.
"You saw him didn't you?" She asked softly.
"It doesn't matter now, he's dead, he's gone. The main problem now is that we can't let anyone not a single soul see that video. If anyone does? I'm dead, I swear that old man will kill me." She frowned, her face morphing into one look that Mary utterly detested.
"Don't you dare hurt Tony!" Mary scolded her. "He has children!"
Patricia only scoffed. "When you play with fire expect to get burned. This isn't just about my pride now Mary, my literal fucking life is on the line."
"I get that, I do but give me a few days, that's all I'm asking. Let me get the videos for you. Hmm?" Mary pleaded.
"Fine, ten days. That's all I'll allow. And when you fail, I will handle things more efficiently." She said matter of factly.
"I won't fail. I won't."
**************************************************
"Say Patricia, I was really scared to hear that you tried to kill yourself. I must say it pretty disappointing, your such a bright and lively person to think you were going through such. I'm mortified. I can never imagine how you must feel."
"Well Amanda, I can't imagine it as well." Patricia replied.
"What? But, you were in the hospital for-"
"Oh I just had food poisoning, that's why my stomach was pumped. I ate something bad." She smiled.
"Then the news-"
"Is false."
George stood stiff and erect beside the older Kang man as he watched the television. George couldn't bring himself to look away from what was probably going to be his doom in a few moments.
Xavier Kang turned off the television and tossed the remote to the table before him. Sighing he stomped his stick on the ground before him, taking his sweet time before speaking. Only he didn't speak, before George could escape in a flash the old man stick swiped one of his legs from right under him and George fell back.
"Get up." He ordered.
Groaning George got up from lying on his back but he remained kneeling.
"I gave you one job to do and you couldn't even do that!" He spat through gritted teeth. Looking down at the younger man, "I thought you were different. It appears I was wrong, i thought out of all my children you were the most like me. But you are just as useless as the lot of them." The older man spat.
It was already incredibly humiliating to kneel before him like this. So he said nothing but waited for it to be over so he could let loose on the person responsible.
"Fix it!" He commanded.
"That wouldn't be wise sir." He spoke. "If she takes back her word then it would affect the family as well."
"Hmm... why did I have to have such useless things around me?" The old man asked, his question directed to no one in particular. "Get out. Call me Sevas."
George rose immediately and walked out. Informing the secretary as he walked past.
Sevas the head secretary of the Lee foundation. Walked in promptly and bowed.
"Find it, do it now." The older man ordered.

The Demon’s Bride
Elise had about to change into the dress that was lying on the corner of her bed when she heard a knock lightly calling from her door. Curious, she turned the door knob only to have a tall man towering in front of her.«Master Ian!» She called.Ian smiled with the usual mischievous smirk that he always used. His crimson eyes trailing a little over her room and spotted the black dress over her bed and shifted his eyes over to the woman in front of him. He stepped forward and spoke. «Where did you acquire that dress?»«Mr. Harland gave it to me.» Elise replied and strained her neck to see Ian’s brows knitted in its elegance.«Do you know why a man would love to give a woman a dress?» He gave the riddle that she always had to think twice before replying. But this time, she found no answer and instead shook her head. «I don’t know.»His grin grew bewitching as though something had stirred deep inside the scarlet eyes that he had. He slowly slid his hand over the collar of her dress, sending a cold shiver that startled her for a moment due to its freezing temperature. After unbuttoning the first two buttons on her collar, he tilted his head down, whispering to her ears. «Because they want to be the one to undress the cloth.»He paused and kissed her neck, turning the pale skin to red before retracting his move to fix his eyes on her and leisurely replied. «Unfortunately, you can’t wear the dress over there with this.» He chuckled and passed a box over to her hand. «And the fortunate news is I prepared a dress for you.»

Choosing His Luna (bxb)
This is a story I have published on Inkitt and I thought I'd post it on here too since I've started to update it again. 😅 I hope to continue to do so although the updates will probably be only once or twice a month.The chapters are a little shorter than what I normally post on Wattpad but I hope you enjoy them all the same.‐-----------------------------The fateful day had finally arrived, the one which I had been preparing for since birth, one which my parents had been preparing for since I'd been conceived. Well, that wasn't exactly true, my parents had been preparing, and I on the other hand had been mostly unwilling with the whole affair. See I was a werewolf, my whole family was, or pack if you will. It was tradition for all those of marriageable age to gather on the strongest werewolf pack in the world, to try and impress the next Alpha to be, the most powerful werewolf in the world. It was a major honour to be chosen by the Alpha, for the individual and their whole pack. So here I was, packing a bag for the journey and time I would be spending at the strongest pack in the world, which was called the Stentorian Pack and was located deep in the mountains surrounded by forest. My parents thought I had a chance, they'd told me what to eat, how to act, and how to look all my life, needless to say, it had gotten old pretty quick. All the lack of control I'd had over my life had boiled down to this day, it had all been for this day. I had to be the most attractive, smartest, and likeable... you get the idea, and I couldn't help but feel inadequate.
