The Billionaire 3: Tyron Cruz novel Chapter 6

Isabella is in front of the monitor, watching her scene they just filmed in one take. She is seriously watching and looking up to the smallest details.

Director Mike exclaimed after watching the scene. “I really can’t find any fault, Bella.” He said. “You are still new here in the industry but even the veteran actors were intimidated by you.” He added.

“Oh, stop flattering me, Direk Mike.” Bella smiled. “I still have lots to learn, and I was the one being intimidated by the veteran actors, they’ve been in the industry for so long that is why I am doing my best not to fall behind.”

“You’re doing great, Bella.” Direk Mike said. “Now, go and take a break first, we will call you when it’s your cue.” He added.

“Okay, Direk, thank you.” She smiled and head to her waiting room with her manager.

“Guess who is the actor that was late earlier.” Hal said as soon as they entered the room.

“Anthony Alvarez.” She answered and took a seat. “I caught him glancing at Jenny earlier.” She added. Hal sighed and took a seat across her.

“I don’t know what to say, beks! I don’t want my sister to get hurt.” Hal said and his voice is desperate. “We all knew Anthony’s reputation on women and I don’t want Jenny to be part of her collection.”

“I think, Anthony is serious about Jenny. Since last year, both of them are acting weird.” She shrugs while Hal sighed. “Jenny is grown up, Hal, let’s wait for her to open up but for the meantime, let’s just quietly look after them. Anthony seems to be smitten by Jenny, you know.”

“Yeah, right.” Hal heave out a big sigh again. “You know what, I’m pretty sure both of them are having some sexy time together, I haven’t seen her after Anthony’s done with his scene.”

“Oh well, what do you expect.” She shrugs. “Anthony is very calm earlier when we are doing our scene and then he suddenly seems agitated and keeps looking at someone behind my back, when I turned around, Jenny’s there.”

“Argh! I swear, I will pull her hair once I saw her!” Hal said making her laugh.

“Let your sister be, Hal.” Bella laughs. “It seems that you are just being jealous, why don’t you find someone to hang out with?” She asked arching her brows.

“Shut up.” Hal said, glaring at her before handing her phone. “Your husband is calling you nonstop earlier, I had to answer it so that he will stop.”

“What does he want?” She asked, acting like she doesn’t care.

“I don’t know but he sounds desperate. He wants you to call him.” Hal said giving her his phone but she didn’t budge.

“I don’t want to talk to him, Hal.” She said. “Tell him that I’m busy.”

“Oops! Sorry, sweetie.” He grinned. “Hello, Mister Cruz, what can I do for you? Oh, Bella? She’s here with me. Do you want to talk to her? Okay, I’ll hand her the phone.”

Isabella glared at her manager before getting the phone.

“What do you need?” she coldly asked.

“Isabella…”

“If you don’t have any important thing to say then I’ll end the call, I am busy.” She coldly said.

“Look, Bella, I’m so sorry, okay?” Tyron said. “I will not hold you too long since you’re busy, but I’ll wait for you at home.”

“You don’t have to wait for me. I don’t know what time we will be finish here.” She said.

“Then should I just pick you up there?” Tyron asked.

“There’s no need, Tyron.” She said. “I have my manager with me and besides, I am sure that you need plenty of sleep, so go to sleep before me.”

“But Isabella—”

“No, Tyron, listen to me.” She firmly said. “You’ve been working nonstop for the past two months handling three companies, so I am sure that you are tired. I know how that feels, Tyron. So, please, I am begging you, finish your work early and go to bed early.” She paused. “I will go home as soon as we are finished here.”

She heard Tyron sighed before speaking.

“Okay, then.” She can hear a bit of sadness and disappointment from Tyron’s voice.

“Look, I appreciate you offering to pick me up but I don’t want you to be waiting instead of resting.” She said.

“But I can still manage.” Tyron insisted making her sigh.

“Listen to your wife, Tyron!” She raised her voice. “You can pick me anytime but not today, okay? Take a rest.” There is a silence on the line, she checked if the call disconnects but it is not. “Please, just listen to me for once. Do you want me to beg you?” she said, her voice becomes soft and calm, but there is still a hint of desperation.

“Okay.” Tyron answered making her frown.

“Okay?” She asked. “Okay as in okay, you will go home early and sleep or the kind of okay, that I still need to beg?” She heard Tyron’s laugh on the line and it gives her butterflies on her stomach.

“Okay, as in, okay, I will finish work early, go home and take a rest.” Tyron said making her smile.

“That’s good! I’ll see you at home then.” She said and end the call, she cannot hide the happiness in her voice.

Isabella handed the phone to her manager who is arching an eye brow. “What?” She asked.

“You were upset at him earlier and now you’re smiling from ear to ear.” Hal said.

“Well, that’s his effect and I’m afraid that it might turn into something deeper.” She said as she leaned on the sofa.

“There’s nothing wrong if you fall for him, he is your husband.” Hal said.

“Husband in contract.” She reminded him.

“It doesn’t matter, with or without the contract, you are both married.” Hal said making her roll her eyes.

Isabella is done with her scene and is on her way to get a snack when Direk Mike called her attention.

“I have another project for you, Bella.” Direk Mike said making her shock and excited at the same time. “Director Mark wants to cast you on the series he’s working, it is a rom-com.” Her excitement went down when she heard the genre.
