LOVE IN PARIS: Married To My Brother-in-law

When they arrived home the next morning Eriq, Knox, Angelo and Leila were all waiting for her beaming with smile, each holding a bouquet of flower.

Angelo was over the moon as he walked up to her offering his congratulations whilst grinning from ears to ears.

"People are now going to ask if your autograph through me now, isn't it amazing?". He grinned.

"Then perhaps Miss Mabel would notice you or should I say Mrs Smith". Eriq grinned mischeviously and in a moment hadan infatuated look on his face. "Master can I have . ."

"Scram". Angelo hissed, hitting the bouquet of flowers on his head, the petals scattering over the polished floor.

"Oh, my. Poor little thing suffered from your temper, what a waste". Eriq exclaimed, shaking his head at the wasted bouquet of flowers.

Yvette nodded her head amusedly, these two were really something else.

"Olivia and Odiette dropped this over". Knox stepped in, offering the bouquet of flowers.

"Something came up so they couldn't wait". Leila explained and walked towards the couch with Yvette, away from the still squabbling mens.

"The opening ceremony for the drama is tomorrow". Leila began. "The novel was insanely popular and now that's it's about to be adapted into a movie, there's a lot of hype even though filming hasn't started yet, I'm afraid the slightest mistake . ."

"Leave the preparations to me". Zeke who was descending down the stairs stepped in smoothly.

He then turned to Eriq who was just settling on the couch with a sullen look. "Prepare and send over the best stylist and designer from Starlight over tomorrow morning".

The two ladies mouth slacked as they gazed at him. Starlight Entertainment, a subsidiary of Starlight Corporation was a grand company established six years ago and ever since it was established it was a frontliner, rivaling several other companies most especially Silverscreen Horizons entertainment.

Even the designers, stylist, model , actress, actor, even the staffs never got along with each other.

"Why should I help her?". Eriq groaned in protest. "Although she's your wife she's from our rival company".

"Well, you'll help her because I asked you to". Zeke replied domineeringly without missing a beat.

After a while oof grumbling and mumbling, Eriq reluctantly agreed muttering something about not wanting to get on his bad side.

"Then I think I should take my leave. Prepare for tomorrow". Leila said and stood up and Eriq also followed suit.

The duo left leaving Zeke and Knox who were the discussing the company's affairs and she alongside Angelo who busied themselves in a movie.

"I'll be leaving today, my flight will be arriving any moment for now. Is there anything you wanna go talk about?". He asked his sister.

"Well, nothing". She replied, she indeed had nothing to talk about, she was contented with her current lifestyle and could only wish for happiness.

"You've checked up on your patient because I know ever since you've arrived you're all and about around Zeke or Eriq and Knox leaving no time for such ".

"Hmmm. But he's hale and hearty, merrily enjoying his married life and disregarding us friends". He blurted out then paused realizing he's let the cat out of the bag.

"Huh?". Yvette was stunned. "This patient of your's, who is he ?".

Angelo could only scratch his head as he pointed to the figure seated several feets away from them. "Your husband". He admitted quietly.

Her eyes widened in confusion gazing at Zeke as she asked. "But he looks perfectly healthy, what could possibly be wrong?".

"Well, concerning this I can't disclose my patient's information. It's improper so you might as well as ask him yourself".

But before she could even reply, he stood up. "I'll take my leave now and don't bother with me , just go get prepared for tomorrow. It's gonna be a long day".

She could only watch quietly as he left and soon Knox followed suit. The evening passed by in a blur with her reading her script and he working on his laptop without disturbing each other.

When the next morning arrived, it was bright and filled with sunshine bringing along with it the best designer and stylist from Starlight Entertainment.

True to their reputation, they worked swiftly and efficiently dressing her in an elegant royal crimson red floor length dress. The dress was lavish without being ostentatious, emphasizing her natural grace and beauty.

The stylist gave her a final look over and she took a deep breath gazing at her reflection in the mirror before her.

It had been too long since she had faced a crowd like this, too long since she's stood before the seas the camera, microphones and eyes wanting to judge her every move.

"You ready?". Leila asked softly.

"You can do this". Zeke patted her shoulder and kissed her on the forehead and she couldn't help but smile.

By the time she arrived at the venue, the cast and crews were all present. Several camera mens lined the side walk with eager journalist and paparazzi, all craning their neck to get a better shot. Tons of fans hovered at the fringes.

Majority of fans were around the main female lead character for the role of Ruowan who was Nadia and the second make lead Zaiin who was also one of Silverscreen Horizons leading artiste playing the role of Zhao Ming.

"Miss Nadia, we all know that this is the fifth time you and Zaiin will be playing a couple on screen. Do you think you could really fall for him in real life?".

"Hahaha. I must admit, Zaiin is very attractive but it's not possible. The space in my heart is already occupied". Nadia replied and all the reporters went into a frenzy at her words.

She was Silverscreen Horizons Entertainment leading lady and was bounded to be one of the best, just now was she admitting to having a boyfriend already , everyone knew she's been single for years and they couldn't wait to find out who her man was .

But before they could bring alive their ferocious side , Zaiin who was beside her responded immediately clutching his heart as if he was in excruciating pain.

"Ruowan, you're indeed ruthless. This villain has already given his heart to you and still . . Oh my poor heart".

He said and everyone bursted into a bout of merry laughter,the atmosphere becoming more lively and they didn't linger on finding out Nadia's mysterious boyfriend.

In the movie, the princess Ruowan indeed had an arranged marriage with the great general, a character played by Blair Huxley, the most popular and stunning actor, an artiste of Epic Horizons.

But the great general soon fell in love with the disastrous beauty Lin Chuxia who was an orphan, the Prince Zhao Ming fell in love with Ruowan and would do anything for her even going to extents to trap and eventually kill the general to free her from the shackles of her arranged marriage but she wasn't moved in the least.

Just then , someone announced Blair's arrival turning the venue into a whirlwind of chaos. From the moment he debuted, he was insanely popular now he was the second ranking male god on the charts.

As soon as he stepped into the van, the fans surrounding it started making a racket, their voice piercing and deafening that the other present celebrities could not help but be green with envy.

A god was a god, from the moment he stepped in, several people rushed after him. Leila and Yvette who had just arrived at the door paused and Leila quickly said to her.

"This is Blair Huxley, the main male lead character. You and Blair have quite several scenes together, you did go through the cast and crew information I sent right, it wouldn't be wrong to make some networking".

"Hmm". Yvette nodded.

"You can go over to him later and greet him , lest your scenes together nay be awkward". Leila added and Yvette nodded in agreement, staring ahead.

Blair was quiet the definition of any lady's Prince charming. He was tall and slender, with a cherry red lips and white pearly teeths, all in one he was a stunning sight to behold and his unrestrained and wild temperament only made him more enchanting.

He had the looks, money, status. He was practically everyone's Mr perfect.

The crowd finally calmed down after a long while. After seeing the three main characters, the next person everyone looked forward to see was naturally the actress portraying the role of Lin Chuxia.

A group of curious reporters immediately surrounded the director and screenwriter.

"Director Cole. How come we haven't seen the actress portraying the role of Lin Chuxia, isn't she coming?".

"Of course she will". Director Cole replied calmly.

"Actually, according to the circulating internal rumors, Miss Jocelyn audition wasn't successful and she didn't get the role because you think she isn't pretty enough. Could you please clarify this?".

Screenwriter Dave was no novice and could already guess what they were up to with such questions.

"Truly beauty is one of the important requirement for the role of Lin Chuxia but asides from that factor, the actress aura is of the utmost requirements. Miss Jocelyn appearance isn't the issue, she just didn't have the aura we wanted and couldn't capture the full essence of the character". He replied calmly.

"Your standards for the role of Lin Chuxia is so high then who is this mystery actress that meets all your expectations?". Another reporter asked.

"This question can wait until the movie or trailer is out, naturally you'll know the answer". Director Cole answered.

But how could the reporters who hadn't gotten there easily back down.

"This mystery lady, is she prettier than Jocelyn?".

"Everyone is unique in their own way. Just wait for her arrival then you'll know". Screenwriter Dave replied.

The reporters continued asking more questions, all targeted at the mystery actress for the role of Lin Chuxia and everywhere was in a frenzy.

Just then a dainty figure appeared at the head of the red carpet.
