Love Only Comes Once Chapter 1 1

The sun was warm and atmosphere was humid, certainly not the type of weather for Casey McAddams hair, she sometimes wish that the weather wouldn't come with humidity cause her hair was frizzing out too much. She was seated at the pool side, with a two piece bikini, sipping on orange juice, basking in the sun and enjoying everything she worked hard for. Since coming to Hollywood life hasn't always been easy for her, from people looking down on her cause she came from a small town in Ohio, to producers turning her down whenever she went for auditions.

But everything changed when she meet Richard Graves. Richard Graves was a legendary movie director that was second to Steven Spielberg when it comes to bringing his movies to life, most people even tend to rate him above Steven Spielberg. So when Casey went for the audition, Richard instantly accepted her before she could utter a word, which took Casey by surprise cause she haven't even done anything yet. What even shocked her more was the fact that he actually agree for her to be the main character not the side character–cause at the time she was auditioning for a role of a side character. During the shooting of the movie she made sure that she played her part well and when the movie was released it garnered over half a million dollars at the box office, the movie was nominated at the Academy Awards, was ranked one of the best movies of that year. Ever since seeing her stellar performance, many producers and directors were calling her up for movie roles, she was nominated for many movie/TV award shows and won many of them. But sadly she never won the Academy Awards despite being nominated countless of times. She will be lying if she say that not not having an Academy Award on her trophy case isn't disturbing to her, cause it is. Many of her fans had even trended a hashtag calling out the Academy Award simply because they gave the award to someone else who wasn't deserving, that was according to what Netizens said that is. But then again there was nothing she could do, but just hoped that in the future that she would finally get that long waited award, but for now she would just enjoy herself and relax. Los Angeles is a beautiful city filled with beautiful beaches, night clubs, and lots of fashion houses were based there, if you as an entertainer wanted to make it big it's best to move to Hollywood, or people would never take you seriously. While she was lounging and getting herself a tan, her Personal Assistant, Cory Peterson, came from the inside holding a phone, he brought it to her side and whispered in her ear: "Mr. Graves would like to speak to you." She took the phone from him and place it on her ear. "Hello." "Hello Casey, so I was wondering if I could see you today?" "Um, I am kind of on like a break today, Mr. Graves." "All the more reason to meet you. On a normal day I won't be able to see cause you will be flooded with so many things to do that you wouldn't even have time." Casey sighed then said, "Fine. Where are we meeting?" **** Casey, got in her car and drove towards the uptown of Hollywood, passing the famous Walk Of Fame, ever wondering if her name would ever be printed there alongside the greats of the entertainment industry. The place she was going to was a restaurant, it wasn't one of the most fanciest ones here in Hollywood but the food there was delicious so Casey wasn't complaining. Pulling over by the parking lot, she stepped down from her car, closing the door behind her, and walked up to the doors of the restaurant opening the door, the smell of fried chicken filled her nostrils and her mouth began to water, making her realize how hungry she was. Her eyes scanned the inside of the restaurant and instantly spotted Richard, who was seated at the far end, he was holding a menu and tried to appear interested in what was written on it. But Casey knew that he was stalling for time. Walking up to him, she passed a couple of people, who gave her a glance or two, probably trying to figure out if she was the Casey McAddams, other than that nobody in the restaurant even seemed to pay attention to her. She sat down on the sit across from Richard, as Richard eyes shot up to her he gave her a smile. "Hello Casey, how you doing today?" "Fine, I guess." She shrugged looking at the menu on the table. "So what would you like to order? They have everything from coffee, to fried wings, to spring rolls, the whole thing." "Do they have a chicken sandwich?" Casey asked, Richard nodded his head. "Then I will have that." Richard signaled for a waiter to come over. The waiter, a girl that was 19 years of age and was in college, came. Casey ordered for a chicken sandwich alongside coffee with lots of cream and sugar in it, while Richard ordered for a hamburger with a bottle of soda. As the waiter went to get their orders, Casey's attention went back to Richard, "so what is it you want to talk about?" "I am shooting a new movie, a blockbuster movie to be precise. It's basically about a post apocalyptic Earth, whereby the few surviving humans are what is left of Earth." He paused checking to see Casey's reaction to the information, her attention was still on him and not diverted elsewhere. He continued talking about the how the movie would probably gather a lot of money in the box office, and how this time around Casey would bag plenty of awards. The waiter came and drop what they ordered on the table and walked away, Casey took a bit of the sandwich, it tasted good, she took a sip of the coffee, it tasted very sweet. Just as she likes it. "Ok so what's it gonna be Casey? You in?"Richard said through mouthfuls of hamburger. "Of cause I'm in Richard, ain't no way I am planning on not acting a movie of the end of the world, it's on the list of movies I would love to play a role in." "Great, so let me give you the script, we start filming this Friday, also the location is in Chardon, Ohio." On hearing the name of the city that they were to film in, Casey looked at Richard. Then she asked, "where in Chardon?" "A small town by the name of Oricon." "Oh I see," she took another sip of her coffee, she sat there with memories of how she left her home town to Hollywood, it's been years. At least if she goes back home she wouldn't go home like a loser, at least she have a little bit of status now. But another person crossed her mind, the man she feel madly in love with, the man that pushed her to chase her dreams, Andrew Peterson. She wondered if he was still in Oricon. And she wondered if he was married.

I arrived at the hotel with Julian's favorite takeout, ready to surprise my fiancé before our big merger. But the moment I swiped the keycard, the silence of the hallway felt heavy and wrong. Inside, a red-soled stiletto lay on the marble floor-the same one I'd watched my best friend Lila try on at Saks last week. Through the cracked bedroom door, I watched Julian's back arch as Lila looked me straight in the eye and smiled, wrapping her legs tighter around him to mock my heartbreak. I fled to the penthouse to hide, only to find Grafton, Julian's "crippled" brother, waiting in the dark. To my horror, the man who was supposed to be paralyzed stood up from his wheelchair, gripped my chin with cold fingers, and forced me to sign a contract that gave him control of my family's shares. He knew about my mother's secret medical bills and used them to buy my silence, effectively turning my life into a calculated game of corporate chess. The betrayal tasted like acid, and the injustice of it all burned in my throat. My fiancé was a liar, my best friend was a thief, and the man now controlling my fate was a predator who had been faking his disability for years. I couldn't understand how everyone I trusted had turned out to be a monster. I was trapped between a man who cheated on me and a man who wanted to own me, with no way out and no one to turn to. But when Julian came looking for me, Grafton didn't hide; he stood tall, looming over me with a possessive glint in his eyes. "Help me destroy Julian," I rasped, realizing that to survive the Faulkner men, I had to become the most dangerous player of them all.

I stood at my mother’s open grave in the freezing rain, my heels sinking into the mud. The space beside me was empty. My husband, Hilliard Holloway, had promised to cherish me in bad times, but apparently, burying my mother didn't fit into his busy schedule. While the priest’s voice droned on, a news alert lit up my phone. It was a livestream of the Metropolitan Charity Gala. There was Hilliard, looking impeccable in a custom tuxedo, with his ex-girlfriend Charla English draped over his arm. The headline read: "Holloway & English: A Power Couple Reunited?" When he finally returned to our penthouse at 2 AM, he didn't come alone—he brought Charla with him. He claimed she’d had a "medical emergency" at the gala and couldn't be left alone. I found a Tiffany diamond necklace on our coffee table meant for her birthday, and a smudge of her signature red lipstick on his collar. When I confronted him, he simply told me to stop being "hysterical" and "acting like a child." He had no idea I was seven months pregnant with his child. He thought so little of my grief that he didn't even bother to craft a convincing lie, laughing with his mistress in our home while I sat in the dark with a shattered heart and a secret life growing inside me. "He doesn't deserve us," I whispered to the darkness. I didn't scream or beg. I simply left a folder on his desk containing signed divorce papers and a forged medical report for a terminated pregnancy. I disappeared into the night, letting him believe he had successfully killed his own legacy through his neglect. Five years later, Hilliard walked into "The Vault," the city's most exclusive underground auction, looking for a broker to manage his estate. He didn't recognize me behind my Venetian mask, but he couldn't ignore the neon pink graffiti on his armored Maybach that read "DEADBEAT." He had no clue that the three brilliant triplets currently hacking his security system were the very children he thought had been erased years ago. This time, I wasn't just a wife in the way; I was the one holding all the cards.

I woke up on silk sheets that smelled of expensive cedar and cold sandalwood, a world away from my cramped apartment in Brooklyn. Beside me lay Ezra Gardner—my boss, the billionaire CEO of Gardner Holdings, and the man who could end my career with a snap of his fingers. He didn’t offer an apology for the night before; instead, he looked at me with terrifying clarity and proposed a cold, calculated business arrangement. "Marriage. It stabilizes the board and solves the PR crisis before it begins." He dressed me in archival Chanel and sent me home in his Maybach, but my life was already falling apart. My boyfriend, Irving, claimed he had passed out early, yet his location data placed him at my best friend’s apartment until three in the morning. When I tried to run, I realized Ezra was already ten steps ahead, tracking my movements and uncovering the secret I’d spent twenty years hiding: my connection to the powerful Senator Grimes. I was trapped between a CEO who treated me like a line item on a quarterly report and a boyfriend who had been using me while sleeping with my closest friend. I felt like a pawn in a game I didn't understand, wondering why a man like Ezra would walk up forty flights of stairs on a broken leg just to make sure I was safe. "Showtime, Mrs. Gardner." Standing on the red carpet in a gown that cost more than my life, I watched my cheating ex-boyfriend’s face turn pale as Ezra claimed me in front of the world. I wasn't just an assistant anymore; I was a weapon, and it was time to burn their world down.
