Chapter 294 - 294: A Turn And A Twist? [FIXED!]
The party went on, and it was trending online, not partially, but the PR and marketing team had done an excellent job.
There was no doubt that all eyes were on them, and the fact that pictures streamed through showing Jensen alongside some other special guests.
It helped elevate their standing, but this only helped to create hype around the movie.
There was no way anyone with a phone wouldn’t tune in to learn more about this movie.
But among the people whose attention it caught was Jane. Jane saw glimpses of Calista and subconsciously started looking for Kyle.
She wanted to know if Kyle attended this event, but she saw Calista hanging off the shoulder of another man, which confused her.
There was no way Kyle would be there, and she would do this, but this made Jane happy.
She didn’t know if she should be happy, but she doubted Kyle would allow her to be with another man.
She knew the kind of man Kyle was; he wasn’t one to share even if he was the one being shared.
“Are you okay? You have been on your phone,” Cassandra spoke to Jane, bringing her a cup of juice.
“Thank you! No, I’m not worried,” Jane tried to downplay it, but she couldn’t run away from the truth.
“It is about Calista, isn’t it?” Cassandra asked, sitting across from her.
Jane immediately put her phone away with a look of surprise on her face.
“H-How did you know?” Jane questioned, but it was obvious Cassandra had taken a glance or two at her phone because she was on it all day.
Jane sighed in defeat because she realised she hadn’t hidden it well at all.
“Want to talk about it?” Cassandra asked; she knew Kyle genuinely liked this woman, and there was no need for her to worry about another woman if there were any.
“Yes, please!” Jane blurted out without thinking, but Cassandra made her drop her guard because she got to know her as a person and not Kyle’s partner.
And unlike the other women in this harem, the idea of not being the one solely responsible for Kyle’s need helped balance her out.
Kyle was a young man with an insatiable libido, and she knew she wouldn’t be able to keep up with him, so the idea of other women was welcomed because it not only safeguarded her emotionally, but it also secured her status as his partner, which wasn’t at risk whatsoever.
“There is nothing to worry about. I could tell the moment I saw you that Kyle was in love with you,” Cassandra noted.
“H-He is?” Jane asked, doing a terrible job at hiding her surprise, even though Kyle had told her in person. It was nice hearing it from someone else.
Jane couldn’t hide her smile, and Cassandra could tell Jane was a likeable person and being around her put people at ease.
“Calista is everything, but I don’t want to say I don’t like her because I don’t know her,” Jane confessed.
“You feel territorial?” Cassandra questioned.
“Territorial?” Jane repeated, as if this was the first time she had heard the word used in this context.
“Yes, because Calista is young and popular, so you think she can take Kyle away from you,” Cassandra pointed out, and Jane immediately tightened up.
“Are you a therapist?” Jane questioned, but this only made Cassandra chuckle.
“Hahaha! I’m just a mother, and I can tell you for certain. Men don’t commit to excitement, they commit to stability,” Cassandra said, and this managed to put Jane at ease.
“I guess you’re right, but I saw her with another man, and I don’t know if she is cheating on Kyle,” Jane pointed out.
“We have all experienced Kyle. Do you truly think there is another man who can do what he does?” Cassandra asked, and Jane’s face immediately turned red because her mind went straight into the gutter.
“Are you okay? Your face is red,” Cassandra pointed out, and Jane immediately cleared her throat before saying.
“Y-Yes, yes I am,” Jane muttered under her breath, but Cassandra knew exactly what she was thinking about.

The big moment came, and the trailer played on the big screen, and everywhere went quiet for over two minutes, and Rossini’s brilliance was put on for all to see.
The round of applause after the trailer played was deafening; they loved what they saw.
And like a car show, the people responsible for this came into view, standing right beside the television.
“I know you have all waited for our talents. They have done everything in their power to make this possible through their dedication and hard work,” Rossini praised his talents despite their relationship being nonexistent.
Isabella watched on and noticed that this had the effect they had hoped for.
Calista was approached by multiple people, and a smile creased her face shortly after.
Calista finally saw Jensen Ackles once again, and her body moved before she thought about it.
He looked her way, despite the show they put on, Jensen didn’t pay her much attention individually.
“Hi…” Calista began the conversation, but Jensen’s eyes never lowered as he was on his phone with a doughnut in hand.
Lorenzo soon joined her, not missing his chance to meet him, and it was he who got Jensen’s attention.
“Woah buddy! You’re huge!” Jensen exclaimed, and this embarrassed Lorenzo right away, even though it was meant as a compliment, before Jensen quickly clasped his mouth shut.
He had forgotten momentarily where they were, but his eyes did acknowledge Calista.
Nothing more, nothing less, and all Calista could do was smile from ear to ear.
“You two… You are the kids in the movie, right?” Jensen asked, and something broke in Calista when he addressed her as a kid.
It was a harmless word that unknowingly set a boundary she knew not to cross because Jensen was twice her age and had no interest in her.
There was a little small talk, but Jensen’s phone soon rang and he had to excuse himself, leaving both of them star-gazing.
Calista could see her future; she wasn’t going to be a pretty face associated with a single character.
No, she was going to be a superstar who people knew by name, like Angelina Jolie, because this was the ultimate goal when it came to fame.
The event went on as it should, with a few people meeting and greeting, which allowed them to network with some of the more experienced actors and actresses.
And in turn, created opportunities because a few spoke about upcoming projects they would like Calista to be a part of, but most were about Calista.
Only like one or two inquired about Lorenzo because while he may be handsome, he hadn’t struck that much of a chord with the audience.
Either way, this party would be considered a success, and Lorenzo went out for some fresh air.
He felt suffocated. Not that he didn’t like his co-star getting all of this attention, because he truly believed she deserved it.
No, it was because he knew it was she who the majority of them came for at the end of the day.
And that was fine, he took out a vape and placed it between his lips.
It helped calm him even though he didn’t smoke it, just having it helped.
This should be the biggest moment of his life, yet he couldn’t even enjoy it.
Lorenzo’s phone soon buzzed, he took it out, but shook his head shortly after seeing who the message was from.
It was from Calista, and this showed their relationship wasn’t as pure as one would have thought.
[[Where are you?]] Calista asked through the text, and he couldn’t ignore it because it showed the message had been read.
Lorenzo took a deep breath before responding to the message.
[[Taking some fresh air, I will be with you shortly. Enjoy the spotlight for both of us,]] Lorenzo responded before he looked irritated, showing he must have ulterior motives with her.
But before he could put his phone away, another text message came in.
It was from an unsaved number, but the message thread was proof they had been in constant communication.
A fangirl, perhaps? That would have been the natural conclusion because this was common, especially with celebrities, where they would entertain one or two of the vast number of women in their DM.
It was one of those things that most couldn’t help until they learned their lesson. This was why most people prefer OF girls because they are more discreet in their dealings.
However, none of this was the case because the way he responded showed that it was someone superior to him.
[[I’m on it, I have gotten closer to her. That much, I can guarantee…]] Lorenzo responded, and it became clear his objective was to get close to Calista.
[[Good and don’t forget your objective. You cannot be attached, do this and the Don would forgive your debts,]] the message said, and all Lorenzo could do was sigh in frustration.
This was something he had to do, and the Mafia was the worst kind of enemy to have; however, they helped him come to America.
And he owed whatever success he had here to them, a debt he couldn’t hope to repay at that until now.
