After arriving at the airport I took a taxi straight home.
'Yes am back to were it all started' I said to myself, took a deep breath and walk into the mansion. Everyone, the maids, guards, look at me with an aww look.
'Am no longer the little naïve, shy, innocent and calm girl they once knew. Now…hahaha…. am crazy. Yeah though am a small actress in a local acting industry I still fight for my dreams.' I halt when I saw my father, his wife and there daughter.
I smiled dryly and said "Am home…..who missed me?"
"Why are you back???!!" Father said
"Honey calm down she just came back why don't we let her rest first….." Marie my stepmom said. She's a quiet devil….a pretender…she is a good actress too in front of my father…I guess her daughter got the professional acting skills from her.
"Sister…. Welcome home" said Jolene.
"A point for correction Jolly , I AM NOT YOUR SISTER!!!!" I glanced at her.
"Get out…..out….you ungrateful bitch….you bad egg….." dad yelled.
"Honey calm down she's just a child" Marie said
"Yes daddy I'll talk to sister" Jolene said.
"You should be thankful to your mother and sister…..if not them I'd have abandoned you by now" father yelled
"Mother???, I don't remember having one and as for my father……I don't even believe I have any" I said and walk down to the basement where I've lived all my childhood and youth.
I started cleaning the basement and arranging my stuffs when the two witches from the East side.
"Seem you know your place in this mansion" said Marie
"Of course I do, unlike others who only know their place is in another man's bedroom" I answered with a smile like nothing happened.
"You slut!!!, why are you back??" Jolene yelled
"To see if I can move around like your mother…. Looking for married men to snatch" I said. I could see them burning up in anger, I was winning their little game.
"Gem….don't anger me or else you want to see your dead mother" said Marie
"Of course I'd see her. But as for you two???, hahaha…..you big daddy Mr. devil is waiting for you……" Marie got too angry as she raise her hands and slap me.
"I promise you….you will not live long….just like your mother…." She said.
"Let's see who get to meet big daddy first" Jolene said and dance after her mother. I gnashed my teeth in anger.
"Oh and by the way…..I hope you haven't forgotten what I said when we were 16?, I promise that I'd take everything away from you…. EVERYTHING YOU LOVE AND CHERISH" Jolene said.
I picked up my phone and say my company calling me. I cleared my throat.
"Hello?"
"Miss Gem?"
"On the line"
"Yes…. We'll be expecting you tomorrow….your manager has been selected and auditions are already lined up for you…. Please be here very early tomorrow"
"I will, thanks".
I sigh……Let's see how tomorrow goes.
Jolene stole the flashlight in a press conference.
"aww…..she's a goddess" The girls praised. Every men wish to be with her, while every women dream to be her.
The press will soon begin.
"Wow goddess Jolene….you're really sparkling today…." The lady who was interviewing her said.
"aww….stop it am blushing" Jolene said
Both ladies laughed.
"There are rumors that you'll be acting as the female lead in a new movie 'Rate My Heart RMH'?"
"Oh yes…..and auditioning is already out….. we'll be working with other acting industries this time" Jolene said
"Speaking of industries….have our goddess ever dream of entering IM Industry?" she asked
Jolene smiled brightly and sigh "It's every actresses and actors dream to be there. I know that one day I won't only get there I'll be there" Jolene was so confident.
"I heard rumors that the President of IM is very handsome and charming but keeps a low profile!"
"I've heard that too" Jolene said
"Have you ever imagine marrying the king of entertainment, that is the President of IM and become entertainment first lady?" she asked. Jolene was one donkey who dance happy when a shinning carrot is thrown at it.
"I don't know…..I can't make decisions now…..who knows if my future husband is watching this show….." she jokingly said and everyone laughed.
"Back to business….how is your next movie RMH going to be?"
"Well….am gonna put all my effort to be the best….let's just wait till the movie is out….. you'll gonna love it" she said, winks and smiled.
"Thank you goddess Jolene….."
I was seating with my new manager and our industry President.
"I want you in that movie….., try and get the spot of been Jolene elder sister in the movie. I've heard of your acting grades back in the States I hope you can do well" Mr festus said.
"But sir….that role is a little too hard…. Remember it's just her first movie….she….."
"Manager Ruth…..I'll do it…..no…. infact I can do it…..let my see the script reading……", she look at me in surprise and gave me the script "Show me the hardest scene" I said and she showed me. It's when the elder sister who was a psycho have act hurt, happy, plain, filled at the same time. "Ha…..price of cake…..let's go" I said
"Go were?" Ruth ask
"To the auditioning we don't want to miss it" I said
"But you've not practiced" she protect
"Don't worry…..am already loaded….let's go…we don't have much time" I said and she look at Mr festus who only smiled and nodded.
After our little makeup and outfit. We arrive at the auditioning.
We were a bit late but we're able to still cover up due to Ruth smart move.
All eyes were on me. Eyes that were saying who is she?, why's she here?, what's with her dressing?.
I didn't mind them I just took my seat and close my eyes relaxing waiting for my name to be called. Ruth was not happy with my behavior I was too relaxing and calm while she was shaking all over getting nervous on my behalf.
"Miss G are you sure about this?" she asked I didn't answer. Well that's because I've fallen asleep. "Oh God…..help me please…let the ground just swallow me up.
"Number 34" they called and Ruth wake me up. My eyes was red and it look tired.
