Chasing After My Wife Chapter 23

Jillyanna chose a white off-shoulder dress which was three inches above the knee. She paired it with a white sneakers and a white scarf was wrapped around her braid to give an accent to her hairstyle.
She put on some lip gloss and face powder to freshen up her look.
Her phone rang while she was preparing herself. Without checking who it was, she answered it directly, keeping it in between her face and shoulders.
"Jillyanna speaking." she greeted the caller while fixing the things she needed to bring for her work.
"Yna, this is Joven. We're on our way to the amusement park. We'll prepare everything for the video while waiting for you." Joven, her video editor and graphic designer, called her for their work.
"Thanks J. I will be there in a few minutes." Jillyanna responded while placing all her stuff into a big handbag. She checked herself on the mirror for the last time before running out of the house. "I'll be off to work! I'll let you know if I can come back for dinner." she dashed out of the house to get in to the garage, leaving her message to the people sitting at the living room.
"Be careful on the road!" Sky called out to her as a reminder.
Jillyanna stepped on the accelerator and maneuvered the car to her destination. She was going to film a surprise for her fans. Many celebrities thought that she was heartless and that she didn't really care about her fans. Since her debut anniversary was just around the corner, she'd release a song dedicated to her fans and the film was going to be at the amusement park.
Jillyanna arrived not long after and the filming team, led by Joven, had prepared everything. They have an idea as to where the shooting will be held and the kind of set up that they wanted to get. It wasn't much of a stress for Jillyanna at all.

"We'll start at the lake side." Joven informed her while taking a big hat for her. "I need you to stand there at the bridge. We'll let the wind blows and you try to keep the hat in place. I'll take as many pictures and videos as possible for us to choose. Your eyes must show the longing you have for someone."
"Yes. Yes. I'll do my best. Should I let down my hair?" Jillyanna asked while waiting for the make up artist to finish her look.
"No need." Joven answered while aiming his camera at her to get a better angle.
Jillyanna tried doing what Joven asked her to do and she managed to give him a satisfying result after five minutes. They continued their filming, this time Jillyanna was being filmed while walking around the park until she reached the ferris wheel area.
"Mommy, look at her. She's really pretty. She looks like a princess." a little girl whispered while pointing at Jillyanna, making her blushed from embarrassment.
"Yes. Big sis is beautiful. You should start eating healthy food as well to become pretty like her." the mother responded with a smile while trying to get her child to eat a sweet corn.
"Is she an actress? Is she filming?" a teen aged girl whispered to her friends.
"She looked so familiar, specially her eyes. I feel like I've seen those eyes before." another young girl stated but they didn't bother her since they saw the filming crew taking videos of her.
Jillyanna just smiled at them and looked up at the high ferris wheel. Since she was a child, she wanted to ride the ferris wheel but her mother was scared of heights so it never happened.
Suddenly, everything turned pitch black. A faint scent of mint drifted off to her nose. The scent was so familiar to her that she recognized him the moment he got closed to her.

"Would you like to ride the ferris wheel with me?" Travis whispered beside her ear. His hot breath fanning the side of her face making her felt itchy to beat him instead.
"I'd be happy if you stop covering my face." she answered softly. When Travis let go of her, she turned around to face him with her smiling eyes.
"Cut!" Joven called out which made them realize that they were in a middle of filming. "I like that gaze. I like the interaction. It would really be great if we could use that video."
"This is..." Travis was shocked and felt a little awkward for what happened. When he turned to face them, the director was even more shocked to know who it was.
"Are you guys planning to have a date? Can you guys do it after filming?" Joven asked, not willing to postpone the film and not willing to make enemy with the devil as well.
"Can I join this filming? What's this for? I can be a handsome partner." Travis offered himself, making Jillyanna laugh.
"It's fine. We can do this. I didn't know you're here already." Jillyanna responded while walking towards the crew. "This Travis. He's my..."
"...soon to be husband." Travis interrupted her which made her turn to face him abruptly.
"What husband are you talking about. Cut it out." Jillyanna rolled her eyes at him while trying to get back on track.
"It doesn't matter. Anyway, I can really work for you." Travis insisted to be part of her work.
"I don't have money to pay you." Jillyanna answered before getting two bottles of mineral water, giving him the extra one.
"You can pay me with a dinner date. How about that?" he whispered just enough for her to listen.
"Whatever."
"Jillyanna, we could really use him. He's got the quality we need in him. His body, vibe, expressions, everything!" Joven stated for her to understand his point.
"I can agree to that. A dinner date is fine as well." Jillyanna retorted before checking her dress and her make up.
"That's it. Let's get this done." Travis said excitedly but he had sent a message to Joven already.
DON'T LET HER KNOW WHO I AM.

The Adventures of Alan
What happens when a university professor somehow ends up in another world, where magic bends the laws of nature? Alan is, albeit unwillingly, about to find out. As a professor of physics, he has a decent understanding of how the world works, or so he likes to think. Armed only with his knowledge, Alan is thrown into a world very different from his own. In his new reality, he will meet both friends and foe, he will seek knowledge, he will build power, and perhaps he will even find love again? Follow Alan through his adventures, and find out for yourselves how he deals with the challenges thrown at him by a new world, while struggling with the issues brought with him from his old one. * Author’s note: A fair warning. This is the first time I’ve published anything, and basically the first time I’ve written anything more than mandatory school-stuff. The story will probably have inconsistencies, grammatical errors (not my native tongue, though that excuse is getting old), and potentially confusing (missing?) plot. I will naturally do my best to write something worth reading, but my main goal in writing this story is to have fun and explore the limits of my own creativity. My hope in publishing it here, is that I’ll reach someone who enjoy the story, and can push me forward towards writing more, as it is difficult at times to find the motivation to write just for myself. Additionally, I can’t really promise to have regular updates, as I have a full-time job that often likes to take the ‘full-time’ part literally, and a sporadic social life that occasionally surprises me (happy surprises mostly, so I shouldn’t complain). I’ll aim for once a week to start with, and take it from there. Happy reading! Cover photo by Jeff Hire (/photographer/gun4hire-58415), from https://freeimages.com/.

Contact First
2039 - Earth A narrow beam energy signal appeared aimed squarely at earth from the TRAPPIST system. The communication consisted of a layered set of repeating data over several thousand wavelengths. Over the next few months scientists discovered that the lower wavelengths carried an encoded numerical language which could then be used to interpret the more complicated messages carried on the higher wavelengths. After half a year of painstaking work the signal was fully decoded. It described a small satellite launched along a precise trajectory towards the fourth planet of our solar system. Included was a package of advanced research that humanity would need to have ready in order to receive the satellite and decelerate it safely. The alien data provided the kick that humanity needed to turn from petty squabbling and unite to explore the final frontier. Major government and corporate leaders worked together to create the framework for the United Federation of Sol. UFS spaceports went from scaffolding to daily launches in every major city around the globe. Ships floated like dandelion seeds, spreading on solar wind to grow into colonies. 2397 - Mars orbit, Egeria Station The command center was a hive of activity as checks were conducted and systems initialized. Scientists flitted by like mayflies as communicators beeped and holoscreens spat out green tinted readouts. Nervous energy was thick in the air as everyone anticipated the culmination of over three hundred years of work. Massive fusion reactors under the planet's surface thrummed with barely restrained power as energy fed into a gleaming metallic maze criss crossing the planet. Metal fingers reached up, overshadowing the mighty olympus mons and trying to grab the stars. All over the solar system, people quickly turned to look as gigantic energy lances shot from the dusty fourth planet. Two years later. The same people that clapped loudly at the successful activation of project Hermes now wait with baited breath. A silver capsule trailing bright photonic sails is captured by a net of grav beams and guided with care bordering on reverence into the station. Holoscreens across the headquarters project an image of the sleek craft settling in the bay. Data connections are established and the holoscreens blink to white. Slowly an image forms on the screen. Across the headquarters people stare in wonder as a wholly alien face stares back. "Contact established. Welcome to the universe."
