Enchanted Nightfall: Falling for Destiny

Chapter 99

For the past week, Quintessa’s life had been tranquil and fulfilling.

Over at the Young residence, chaos had reigned because Miranda had been unresponsive for days, and the hope for Matthew’s recovery was dwindling. The whole family was in an uproar.

Jerome had been unusually well–behaved lately, not causing any trouble for Quintessa.

Tyrone too had been quiet. Since that day, he hadn’t shown his face again.

It gave Quintessa a sense of peace, a feeling that she finally had a couple of days of calm after a month of being back.

Quintessa harbored thoughts of revenge against Tyrone, but she knew this was not something to rush. She needed a meticulous plan. Tyrone was a man she would only deal with when absolutely necessary, and when she did, she was determined to come out on top.

The perfect way to exact revenge on a man was to make him fall hopelessly in love with you, then do as you please!

Quintessa wouldn’t seek Tyrone out. She’d wait for him to come to her. The key to flirting was to never let the man think you’re actually interested.

Quintessa spent a few days shooting honestly for the movie “Requiem“; as she was familiar with Director Cooper, everyone on set thought she and Tyrone were close and treated her with extra care; no one gave her a hard time.

After five straight days on set, the team from “Shadows of the Past” called her in for her scenes, and Quintessa planned to pack up and head to Zion City.

While packing at home, Violet received two calls from well–known producers in the industry, both expressing that they wanted Quintessa as the lead actress in their movies.

Even if her schedule didn’t align, they were willing to wait for her–no matter how long it took.

This kind of offer was rare, even for A–list stars.

But Violet didn’t seem overly thrilled. After hanging up, she asked Quintessa, “These two sudden big– budget film offers, with investors from the York Financial Group, they’re gained because of Tyrone, aren’t they?”

Quintessa nodded, “Probably.”

“Do you want to go?” Violet probed.

Quintessa scoffed and took a deep breath, “Why not? In his eyes, I’m just a nobody. Who cares about pride when you can gain something tangible? Besides, he owes me.”

In Tyrone’s presence, Quintessa felt she had lost her dignity long ago. What was the point of putting on airs now?

Securing the role was what mattered most.

Quintessa was clear on one thing: food only satisfies hunger when it’s eaten.

Violet patted her shoulder, “One day you’ll stand on the highest stage and claim the crown of Best Actress.”

Quintessa smiled, “You’re right.”

Someday, she would shine brilliantly.

Her aim wasn’t just to revenge, but to gain success as well.

“I’ve decided to sign Reuben,” Violet announced, “He’s a good kid. Look out for him, will you?”

Quintessa nodded, “Sure.”

Reuben was the fresh–faced actor who played opposite Quintessa; being polite and handsome, shy and blushing in her presence, he wasn’t disliked by Quintessa.

Then Violet remembered something, “Oh, and it looks like the music video with Great Snow Jackson might not happen.”

Quintessa frowned, “Why not?”

Violet hesitated before revealing, “The two record labels behind him are being acquired by the York Financial Group.” Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

Quintessa stayed silent for a moment before resuming her packing.

“I see.”

No wonder the music video shoot was abruptly halted that day, and that’s the reason why there had been no progress in the following days.

Quintessa laughed to herself.
