Loving A STRANGER Chapter 443

"Well, we come here today..." When Vivian wanted to say something, a reporter interrupted her again.
"Peak Pictures is your husband's company, while Garcia Entertainment is yours. Are you considering a merger between them so that it'll become the leading company in the entertainment industry?"
Kylie shrugged. "Isn't Peak Pictures already the leading company in the entertainment industry?"
The reporter was struck dumb for a second.
Who dared say Peak Pictures wasn't the leading company in the entertainment industry?
Countless actors who worked for Peak Pictures had won the prizes of the Best Actor and the Best actress.
Countless films produced by Peak Pictures had won different kinds of film prizes.
Seeing everyone being quiet for a moment, Kylie smiled to create a relaxing atmosphere. "Let me share a secret of keeping love alive with you."
"No matter how much your man loves you, you must have your own career. A canary in the cage can't have a man's, long-lasting love." Most of the reporters were women, and they nodded as agreement.
Kylie then drew their attention back to the new show. "Oh, Mother is also a new TV series which focuses on the problems a woman might encounter in her life. It's a story about the in-law relationships, and how a woman manages to keep a balance between her family and work."
"Kylie will be the leading actress, and I..." Vivian tried to join them.
However, a reporter stopped her once more. "Who will be your mother-in-law, Kylie?"
"Your husband in the show and your husband in real life. Which do you think is more handsome?"
"It's your first time acting as a mother with a kid. Do you have any related experience?"
"How many kids do you plan to have after being married?"
"Do you prefer a boy or a girl?"

Reporters were bombarding Kylie with questions and ignored Vivian. Vivian felt utterly embarrassed but didn't dare show it on her face.
Finally, the interview ended, and Vivian followed Kylie walking to the Wyatt brothers.
"Kylie, how are you today?" Bill asked with concern.
"I'm fine, thanks, Director Wyatt." Kylie stopped.
Harvey's eyes lit up the second he saw Vivian. He walked by Kylie and came to Vivian.
"When can we hang out again?"
Vivian wore a fake smile. "You can do whatever you want when my part is almost done in the show." She must make sure her benefit was safe.
Harvey nodded, then turned to Kylie. "Kylie, I hate to say this, but I find a better actress for the female supporting role."
Kylie gave Vivian a glance. "Sure, Vivian indeed is more suitable than Elizabeth."
Hearing that, Vivian felt much better. "Kylie, thanks, and I still need to learn a lot from you."
"Ha-ha, we can learn from each other," Kylie said.
Kate walked over at this moment, and she hugged Kylie before she said, "Did you see my 'son'?"
"Not yet. He's quite mysterious," Kylie replied.
"He's not mysterious actually, but you left early yesterday, so you didn't see him," Kate said, then glanced at Vivian. "She really immerses herself in the show, and she barely could move a step when she saw my 'son'."
Kylie was amused and almost laughed aloud.
The female supporting role Vivian fought for was a client of the leading actor in the show. She did everything to get a study report from the leading actor, including seduced him.
After failing to bribe the leading actor, she undressed on the leading actor's bed.
She was also the fuse of the divorce of the leading actor and leading actress.
"As long as the show is attractive, we don't care whether it's real or not real." Kylie shrugged again.

When they were talking about the leading actor, the leading actor walked inside.
The meeting place got excited, and a tall slim man showed up. He was wearing glasses and looked like a well-educated gentleman.
At a certain moment, Kylie thought Stephen was walking in.
She focused on the man's face, then recognized he was the Most Popular Actor of this year, James Hughes. No wonder why Vivian fell in love with him at first sight.
Thinking of Vivian, Kylie turned to give her a glance.
Vivian's eyes moved away from Harvey the moment James appeared, and she tried to strike up a conversation with James but was stopped by Harvey. "What are you going to do?"
"To gain some attention." Vivian smiled. "I can't waste the chance you give me."
Harvey was suspicious. "He's already married, and it's universally acknowledged in entertainment circles that James will never divorce his wife even though everyone is divorced."
"Nonsense!" Vivian gently knocked her fist against Harvey's chest. "I need a good man in bed, not a good-looking man." Saying that, she made eyes at Harvey.
Harvey wore an evil smile. "The shooting will begin tomorrow. Why don't we have some fun tonight?"
"Whatever you want." Vivian ached to attract the media's attention, so she agreed on whatever Harvey said.
However, when she strode to James, the interview was over.
James turned around and almost hit Vivian. He stepped backward at once. "Are you alright?"
Vivian seemed shy. "Yeah. Are you all alright? I'm so sorry that I almost knocked you."
"It's fine." James shook his hand.
"Shall we go over now?" Vivian licked her thin lips. "It's about to take a photo of all the actors and the director."
"Sure." James followed Vivian walking ahead.
Kate planned to pull James over and let him stand between her and Kylie because James was her son and Kylie's husband in the show.
Nonetheless, Vivian followed James closely behind, so Kate moved near to Kylie on purpose and left no space for other people.
James disliked competing for a position in a photo, so he directly stood at the farthest side when everyone stood well.
Vivian, instead, wanted to stand in the center, so she said to James, "James, you're the leading actor, and you should stand in the center." Saying that, she helped him move forward to the center. "Please, let us go through, thanks."
Other actors looked at Vivian with obvious disdain, but beamed and stood aside when they noticed James behind her.
James stood by Kate's side at the end, and Vivian stood close to him.
Although others disliked Vivian, they thought she was James's friend when she helped him walk to the center.
For the sake of James, other people had to be polite to her.
When the photographer pressed the shutter, Vivian's proud face was captured in the photo.
After taking the photo, the banquet would begin in half an hour. Vivian seized this chance to touch up her make-up and ran into Faith, who was leaving "by accident."
"Oh, isn't this, Faith, the famous agent, and assistant?" Vivian stopped Faith. "I was just thinking about why you were absent today, and Kylie came with a new girl. To my surprise, you are here!"
Faith was annoyed about what had happened today, and now felt quite displeased when Vivian brought it up.
Vivian added, "I don't think Kylie will dump you once she's famous. You were by her side when she was nobody, after all. Right?"

RETURN, A Dark Lord story.
Return, Synopsis In the Triangulum Galaxy, one of a number of galaxies controlled by the Empire of The DARK LORD, JENNA OF CHRISTOS finds herself on the run after she killed a patrolman. Becoming pilot on a pirate craft, several years later she and other pirates are devastated by attacks of the Imperial Legion and are now trying to regroup. Seeking funds that will help them hide out for a time, their leader THURGOD DRISTA and JENNA meet with a PROFESSOR of galactic history who gives them information, a map and an ancient artifact described as a singing stone. He tells them that this could lead them safely to a legendary treasure trove, called THE DARK LORDS HOARD, on the forbidden planet TRILLA. The hoard is supposed to belong to the ruler of the empire who vanished close to one thousand years before and is presumed to be gone. The treasure is believed to be hidden in a tunnel accessible from the planet surface but no one who has gone into the tunnel has ever come out alive or sane. Leaving the pirate hideout immediately after the meeting and avoiding a major attack by the legion, the pirates travel to the galactic rim for supplies and to leave a false trail. With them they take the PROFESSOR and ILISA, a serving girl. However CAPTAIN TRASKA the commander of a Legions task force called Detachment T, has guessed the pirates intentions and tracked them to the rim. The pirates leave on their next leg to TRILLA unaware that CAPTAIN TRASKA with his force of heavy cruisers, is already there and lying in wait for them. Allowing the pirates to land, including an unexpected second pirate ship, CAPTAIN TRASKA sends a force of troopers to capture both craft and their guards. Before they can do this, THURGOD, the PROFESSOR and others, numbering thirteen altogether and led by JENNA entered the tunnel complex. JENNA, warned by ILISA that she must be the one to hold the singing stone, carries it in the hope that it will guide her and her companions past the many dangers in the tunnel. Shortly afterward, VIS VISTRICER the Legions overall commander travels to Trilla in an armoured planetoid, a spacecraft as large as a moon. On his arrival at TRILLA, VIS VISTRICER meets with CAPTAIN TRASKA but before they can do much, they are both surprised by one of the LADIES OF THE CIRCLE who is waiting for the outcome of what is happening in the tunnels. In the tunnels, JENNA leads THURGOD and the rest of party through many dangers and tests. Four are killed in the tunnels but the rest finally come to their goal where, to their surprise, in a cavern they meet the DARK LORD who is alive and very well. He has been waiting for them so he can return to the Empire. JENNA finds out that the patrol officer is alive and that she and many others have been manipulated all this time by the DARK LORD. She also finds out that ILISA, whose real name is JURA, is a member of the CIRCLE OF LADIES and was sent to teach JENNA many years before on her home planet of Christos. The DARK LORD restores and fulfills a promise to release JURA from her service as a LADY. He next has each pirate declare their own fate and takes them to the surfaces of TRILLA. There, at their election, he executes two of the pirates while JENNA is pardoned and some have the death penalty reprieved. The rest will face the courts of the Legion. VIS VISTRICER is raised to the rank of STAR COMMANDER, the highest rank in the Legion while TRASKA becomes a COMMODORE. The DARK LORD returns to Tihab, the administrative centre of the empire. There he takes up his residence in a surprised and disconcerted imperial palace. JENNA is returned by COMMODORE TRASKA to the planet Christos where she is welcomed by the planets rulers and her family, some of whom were aware of some of what was happening.

Prime Magus of Earth
"In the beginning, I had no idea what was going on. My brother and friends were gone, my sight was gone, and yet I still saw things, things about this world that no one else knew. I'm not special, or gifted, anyone could have done what I did. I just got lucky, especially after everything that happened afterwards. Magic already existed, it always had. Humans just didn't know how to do it, didn't know how to nuture that small spark in them. Now you do." - Prime Magus of Earth, Alexander Sorin. November 2021 Update: So, it has been four years since I stopped working on this. Reading back, the first "book" is finished. It has what feels like an ending to an arc. Now it isn't a perfect story but I still like it and I can see myself starting the second book, might even this on Amazon or something. My biggest regret was never coming up with artwork for the cover though. Maybe I'll look into it.

Does Hell Have an Adventurers' Guild?
I have decided to try out a different style. I cannot say much at this point, the story is mostly fantasy/romance and will evolve as I go, but it will involve an "adventurers' guild" in a demonic setting. MC will be a reincarnator becoming a denizen of hell, I will add vital description as I go. Gore will be used with reason, some bad words here and there and severe explicit or traumatizing content will be announced in advance, but it will not be the focus of the work.
