Chapter 15 - WANT

Yanarym didn't have the slightest idea whether all of these were orchestrated by someone above or something and that's why she's willing to see for herself. Living her life again and granting someone else's wishes, it sounds like a very interesting kind of blessing or punishment.

From the idea of dying and being reincarnated after in a different world, everything itself was surreal and it still felt like she was dreaming. Sometimes she couldn't help but think her original self might still be alive but soulless, like Yarisa. Maybe she was in a coma and all that she had been experiencing was indeed just a dream.

Furthermore, whatever all of this was about, she couldn't care. It would be better to just go along with the current. Besides, she's having fun.

"Sir?" Alyx was staring at a photo when he crumpled it with his hand. Ever since he had sexual intimacy with Yanarym, he had been looking into every corner of her life. He was aware of her involvement with Kane Morgan, a successful bachelor. For some certain reason, he was not happy to see her with some other men.

A normal C-list actress—Alyx couldn't think of anything special to describe her professionally. Although she had the perfect build and a face to show off, she had no ambition to climb up the ladder in the industry. She didn't have connections who could provide her financial support for her career and didn't even care about fame. She was different from someone like Alyana who had a firm determination and grit to become famous and well-known in the industry.

Yanarym was a good actor and was easy to work with. Her colleagues described her as an embodiment of goodness herself. She was far from scandalous and had kept her personal life private. But she didn't have that kind of heavy presence; she could just easily blend among the crowd. She wasn't hated yet not also appreciated. Even her fan base wasn't that impressive.

However, as odd as it was, it almost seemed like she had the universe to back her up. She was lucky enough to have accidentally or intentionally entered the dressing room of his younger brother, Alvan.

Alyx was also informed that something had happened between her and his brother. He was so infuriated upon acquiring it that everyone who was working with the investigation almost wet themselves to death. It was a big relief when he heard next that there was no reported further involvemetween them after that.

He had found out about Alvan's schemes to supposedly violate Yanarym by drugging her that night of the party but went down the drain after Alyx got involved with her. Only then, Alyx had realized that his brother was crazy about her to the point that he's willing to put his career and everything at stake. There was breach of contracts and he began signing project replacements. His whole management was in chaos and was losing its investors.

His actions were too rash and impulsive. Even Alyx himself couldn't handle Alvan irrationality, especially as he's already busy taking care of Alyana's career. He already had Alyana that was why he wasn't supposed to think about another woman, specifically, that woman, Yanarym.

It's just that he couldn't stop thinking about her because he couldn't accept the fact that she was seeing another man, aside from Alvan, there was also this young doctor. He knew what happened between them was purely coincidental. And he jumped on the fire himself, he wasn't one of the men she intentionally approached but…

Looking at her together with another man, laughing and blushing, he was irked, something within him stirred. It was obvious that this doctor was more than just a friend, he could see it in the photos, how flustered and happy she was. Alyx knew he shouldn't feel this way. Besides, she was just simply one of those women who had satisfied him in bed and he wouldn't want sparking an argument with his only brother over her. However, every time he saw her smile and blushed cheeks directed towards someone else, he couldn't help but feel possessive.

"Where is she now?"

"She's back, sir. She has already received the proposals of the projects that sir Alvan had insisted on."

"Did she accept?"

"Not yet. For now, she is still discussing it with her management."

"Her management isn't that grand. Their most popular star is Jessica Zarchiz, right?" Alyx played with his pen, spinning it with his hand as he thought things carefully.

Yanarym was a good actress, indeed, but not worthy enough to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars for. But she's... Never mind. He stopped playing with his pen and looked at the investigator.

"The agency, I want it under my name. I don't care how much it costs, just buy it for me. I want the signed contract on my table tomorrow," he demanded in an authoritative tone.

"Understood, sir." The investigator bowed his head before Alyx signaled him out of the room.

People inside the dressing room were bustling around fixing clothes, putting make-ups and assisting the models to be ready for the shoot.

"Alyana, there is a contract of endorsement offered by a brand called 'Maybe Shine' for you. It's already being handled by the management," her gay assistant told her in excitement. He was informed by a friend who was working in the same company of the said brand. She smiled unconvincingly.

He knew that the huge project was supposed to be a big break for her. It was all that she had been waiting for in her entire career as an actor but it was stolen away from her. Their management was contacted by the staff informing them that Alyana wouldn't be starring in the project anymore. That was depressing, even if he was in her shoes he would be aggravated by the sudden changes of event.. It was like a treasure of gold was in front of you but somebody took it first.
