Night of Destiny

“I went away in a hurry last time and didn’t tell you. I’m back at my family’s place, dealing with some business. I can’t see you for now.”

“Don’t worry about it. You do what you have to. We can meet when you have time.” Harmony would not complain now.

“Is work hard on you?”

“It’s alright. Everyone’s patient with me, and we get along well,” said Harmony. She knew that she only was treated well not because of her abilities but because she had ties with Ezekiel. One of the crew members waved at her, and her heart squeezed up. Time for another scene. Reluctantly, she said, “I have to go now, Mr. Weiss. Another scene is coming up.” NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

“Talk to you next time,” Ezekiel said swiftly.

“Talk later.” Harmony was reluctant to go. She didn’t hang up, hoping he would talk more, but he hung up, thinking she had ended the call. Harmony bit her lip and smiled bitterly. What was I thinking? He gave me a perfect chance. I should seize it instead of fantasizing about impossible stuff.

After work was done for the day, Harmony went back to the hotel. She held her phone throughout the way, yet she didn’t have the courage to disturb Ezekiel.

Sera saw through her, and she huddled closer.

“Harmony, listen to me. He helped us mostly because he has high hopes for you, but that doesn’t mean he likes you romantically. Make that clear.”

Harmony knew what Sera was trying to say, and she blushed. Fortunately, the car was dark. She said earnestly, “Sera, I know. I wasn’t thinking about that.”

“You’re still young. There are tons of opportunities waiting for you out there. Once you make a name for yourself, you’ll have options. Even when it comes to romance, you’ll have the power to decide for yourself,” said Sera.

Harmony looked outside the window, immersed in her thoughts. She wouldn’t consider marriage unless… She smiled bitterly. No way. There’s no way that will happen. I’ll stay single forever.

Harmony was still popular back in her home country because of the fashion show. The media was happy to keep her popularity alive since they received rumors of a powerful person helping Harmony out. The media was sensitive to stuff like this, so they didn’t dare offend Harmony anymore.

Catalina managed to get Reuben a movie back in their home country, but she didn’t find any news about Harmony. It was as if Harmony had disappeared into thin air. She didn’t attend any events, nor did she show herself. Where did she go?

That was the question Harmony’s fans had. Why don’t we see her now?

Three months went by in a flash. Harmony would occasionally receive a call from Ezekiel, but they didn’t chat too much. He was probably busy. She didn’t disturb him.

One day, Sera got news of Harmony’s Asian film getting an award back in their home country. The organizers invited Harmony to the award ceremony, and the crew members contacted them, too. Sera happily told the organizers Harmony would be there to receive the award.

Harmony’s shoot was ending; the crew would be wrapping up at the end of April, and Harmony could return in early May to kick start her business back in her country.

Harmony was happy about the news, too. That film was her lucky movie. She got her first Best Actress award after filming for a long time, and she was even nominated twice.

May was an important month for the Presgraves as well because their daughter’s wedding would be held this month. The chilly winds of spring had come to an end, and the early warmth of summer came. On a beautiful day like this, Willow would don her wedding gown and enter a marriage with the person she loved.

The Weisses, even though they were abroad, received an invitation too. Only Ezekiel and his mother would return for the wedding since Ezekiel’s father couldn’t leave his post.
