Chapter 54
Chapter 54
Chelsea sorted out the draft she had written the previous night as quickly as possible. When she was done, she sent it to Luka.
The protagonist in her new story left his wife who had been with him through thick and thin, only to get back together with his first love.
Instead of breaking down as a result of her husband's abandonment, the wife learned to love herself. She was determined to succeed with or without him. Some years later, she became very rich and acquired a property of her own.
According to the script, different kinds of men were always around her. They included young and promising assistants, guards with great martial arts, and counts from distinguished families. In short, her life became desirable in the long run.
"What an interesting story! It has more plot twists than the previous version in which the main characters ended up together." Luka called her after reading what she sent to him.
He was right. This time, Chelsea paid careful attention to the hardship the heroine underwent as well as her success.
"Is it?" She was glad to hear Luka's take.
As if what he said wasn't enough, he continued to heap praises on her work. "It's remarkable that you were able to demonstrate women's independence using words. You've really outdone yourself."
This got Chelsea thinking for a while. She concluded that Diane would finally be satisfied with the
script. If it turned out that way, then there was no doubt that Edmund would like it too.
"Since you've given a nod to it, I'll just go ahead and send it to Fay," Chelsea said.
"If you don't mind, it will be even better if there is a mature, steady and patient businessman who would introduce her to the world of entrepreneurship." Luka made a suggestion. "What do you think?"
The character he was talking about was very similar to himself. He had also been there for Chelsea through her ups and downs as a scriptwriter. But not for once had it crossed her mind that he would fall in love with her. She had always regarded him as a respected teacher and benefactor.
"Okay, I can add that later," she replied after giving it a thought.
"Very well then," he answered resignedly.
Things happened so fast that not even Luka could tell how his feeling toward Chelsea became amorous.
It all started as sheer admiration of her talent. Then it transformed into being mesmerized by her appearance. As a matter of fact, he was now obsessed with her temperament and character.
He had been in the entertainment circle for so many years and had seen countless beauties. Still, there was something about Chelsea that fascinated him. He hadn't come across anyone like her.
In the past, he was forced to suppress what he felt because she had fallen head over heels in love with Edmund. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
All that changed after she returned from her training abroad. It was as if she was reborn.
Her bright enthralling eyes attracted Luka like a strong magnet. But he had since noticed that the most important thing to Chelsea was her career.
It seemed like she had completely locked herself up. Nonetheless, he was bent on touching her with his actions.

Edmund had a stomach ache after leaving Chelsea's apartment the night before. And he thought she was the main cause of it. Chris was on duty in the hospital. So he drove there in order to be examined.
A gastroenterologist soon checked him up. Then he was asked to stay in the hospital so that he could be well taken care of.
Not long after, Fay knocked on the door of his ward. She was holding some documents in her hand.
When she got in, Edmund was leaning against the bed and talking on the phone. He was wearing a hospital gown.
He was also busy working on his laptop while receiving an intravenous drip.
Fay stood patiently till he ended the call. Then she handed over the documents to him and said, "Chelsea reworked the script at your request."
