Cheryl's heart raced rapidly as she dared to look back in her sister's angry eyes. For a few seconds she just wanted to hug her elder sister tightly and cry her heart out. She wanted to plead her elder sister to help her clean up her mess. But she knew it was too late now. She has no option but to agree to what ever the man says to her, no matter how ridiculous or dangerous it might sound.
She did not want to involve her sister in this dirty mud, in which she was already drowning. "Oh! Why do you think like that sister? It is not a stomach bug but a travel sickness. Just yesterday I had myself checked up at the clinic. The doctor said that I am working too hard and my body needs to rest." Cheryl smiled a bit, pattting her sister's hands lovingly and assuringly.
Sheryl took a deap breath, yet looking in Cheryl's eyes, studying them carefully. "And who is calling you this many times? Are you dating somebody? Or do you have a sugar daddy kind of thing going on in your life? You can tell me dear. I am your elder sister, I will not judge you at all. And you already know it!" Sheryl looked in the girl's eyes with desperation, looking for some clear answers.
Cheryl immediately hugged her sister and a few tear drops fell down from her eyes. She did not want to include Sheryl in the mess she had created for herself and thus did not want her to see the falling tears. Her kind and caring words were choking up Cheryl immensely. "It is nothing of that sort sister. Do not worry about me so much. And it is my mangager who is calling me. She wants me to come to work today as well. So I might have to go for the shoot today as well." Cheryl wiped away her tears quickly and finally released Sheryl from her embrace.
Sheryl was yet staring in her younger sister's eyes, looking for validification of her words. "Ok then! Go take the call, before your manager goes crazy. I will go and have a look at the kids." Sheryl nodded her head in approval and walked away. Cheryl heaved a sigh of relief and sprinted towards the phone which was viberating yet again. She wanted to throw away the phone from out of the window but nevertheless picked up the call, rolling her eyes at her phone.
"Where the fuck are you?! You bitch!!" A sharp male noise echoed from the speaker of the girl's phone, taking her aback instantly. She covered the speaker with her fingers to prevent the voice from echoing in the living room and immeditely closed the door of her room before replying back to the man. "I.... I... puked. I am not at all feeling well." She replied in a stern voice, trying to control her anger.
"Stop making excuses you lazy idiot and listen to me very carefully now." The man shouted again in much anger.
Cheryl took deap breaths, trying to control her anger. The man's angry voice was too overwhelming for her and a tear dropped down from her eye yet again. "Y... Yes. I am listening. Tell me."
"Hmmm. Good. So, the entire Wilson and Lodge family are off to a destination wedding and none of them are in Bangkok. So, all you have to do is, attend a press conference which I have already arranged for you. In that press conference you will tell the entire world and the media that you are expecting Rhehan Jobs' child in our womb. Simple." The man's cunning voice and laugh echoed through the phone's speaker sending a shiver down Cheryl's spine. She could not believe that the man was telling her to declare it to the world that she was expecting a child. Her hand shivered as she struggled to hold the phone with it. "But... But... what about my film? They will throw me out of the film. I have not even completed half of the shoot yet!"
"You do not have to worry about your film career. Just do what I say! If i can make your career instantly then I can also give you as many movies as I want. Do this interview and I promise a life time of films for you. I think this is enough temptation for a girl like you. Is not it?" The man chuckled and Cheryl fell silent for a few seconds. The deal was actually very tempting to her. How could she say 'no' to a lifetime gaurranty of a hollywood career. It meant a life full of unending fame and comfort. "But... But.... What will I tell my sister? She is going to freak out!" Cheryl pressed her head, imagining her sister's freaked out face after hearing the news of her pregnancy.
"Tell her the truth obviously." The man smirked, hearing Cheryl's almost convinced tone. "Besides she does not have to worry about the money ever again. What else would she want? When she will see you succeeding in your movie career and then probably marrying Rhehan, I am sure she will be the happiest person. Give it some time and go ahead, get ready for the press conference now. You just have one hour left!" The man chuckled again, as he could sense the girl's eyes shining bright with greed and temptation.
Cheryl was silent for a few more seconds, her mind was already dreaming of all the rosey pictures the man had just shown in her head. "But... But ..... What will I tell my sister? No!" Cheryl spoke in anguish, when suddenly her room's door flew open. Sheryl was standing at the door, looking at her younger sister frowning hard.
Cheryl gave out a long helpless sigh and smiled looking at her sister, pretending to be calm and composed. "Fine. I will be there in an hour." She ended the call and placed back her phone on the bed side. She walked towards her sister, scared that she might have heard the man's loud screams over the speaker. "Sis! I am so sorry. I will have to go for the shoot. It is an out- door shoot and all arrangements have already been done by the director."
