Chapter 3 Two

Jay's POV

"Jay! Come on, man! We have to be at the audition soon" My manger Sky was shouting from the entrance.

He needs to learn to relax. He also needs to know that everyone will wait for me. Not that I want them to wait for me, but it is their way of showing me respect. I have been in this industry for a long time, and I climbed to my current position due to my own hard work. No one has yet to link me to my real family. The Whitlock family.

Our family is famous and infamous, we are involved in both the legal and illegal world. We did not know about it until we were 16 years old. Grandpa gave us choices to join the mafia or not. Nevertheless, we had to still train to keep ourselves safe in case of emergencies.

Since I found out, I kind of slowly drifted from the family. I think somewhere in my mind I am blaming our family illegal business for the loss of our parents and of our still missing sister.

Today's audition is for the team to find a suitable person to play the character as my little sister. This is hitting me close. How I wish my actual sister was playing this role. She loved to hang out with me the most compared to our other brothers. I did not stop her from falling or getting hurt. But I was there to make sure she was alright. Therefore, she loves to come to me all the time. But do not start with me when Dad is home, she does not see anyone else. We become invisible. But we are not jealous of dad, because he becomes invisible to her when grandpa is in the picture.

"You okay there?" Sky asked me, snapping me to reality.

"Yeah, just thinking about some memories" I laughed while shaking my head.

"Must be a good one if you are laughing" he smiled at me.

I know what he meant, I rarely smile or laugh with anyone. But whenever I am thinking about my baby sister, I smile unknowingly.

I was talking to Sky about my upcoming schedules while playing a game on my phone.

I heard the ladies cooing and gossiping about me.

"He is not that attractive" a soft yet gentle voice spoke and the whole room turned quiet and I look at the lady that said it. Woah, she looks like mum with dad's blue eyes.

"You are something different," I tell her with a smirk, she pointed at herself in confusion, I nodded letting her know that I am talking about her.

"For the first time in a while, I hear a lady calling me normal looking," I continued talking to her,

"I was being honest. Maybe you are not my type" she commented with a small smile,

"Maybe not. Can I be your friend?" I asked her, I wanted to be friends with the first lady that was not falling for my looks. Maybe my sister would have grown up like her.

"Why not" she shrugged,

We exchanged phone numbers and follow each other on the social medias.

"Let's catch each other for a meal soon" I told her as I walked away.

"Woah the lady is so daring to speak about you like that" Sky mused,

"Yeah, she is something different" I informed with a bright smile.

Soon the audition started. Seriously, I am wasting my time. They are either over acting or their acting skills is too low. They need to improve or change their style.

And in came Jas,

"Jasmine, right? You are trying out for the supporting role, the lead male's sister," the director confirmed the details with her. Wait, her name is Jasmine? I was shocked

"Yes, I am" she answered him confidently.

"Alright, please play Act 1 scene 3," the writer requested, she nodded.

I am excited to watch her act. Something is waiting for me to find out.

She took a deep breathe getting into the role,

"No! Save me brother. He is trying to take me away. I do not want to leave you" she cried while slowly sinking to her knees.

"I want to stay with you and all of our brothers, don't let me go" she sobbed. Then she stopped at looked at the judge panel, waiting for their comments.

No way. Why did I feel like my heart is breaking apart? Her cries are similar to my sister's cries.

"Wow," the spoke together, but I stayed quiet, pondering if I should take her into my company, what if she is already in one?

"You got the role; we will send the contract to your company" the director spoke.

"Yeah, about that, I am not signed to any company, you can speak to me and my assistant directly" she spoke softly while not having any eye contact with the males. She is scared of males, btu she was fine while talking to me just now.

"Call her assistant in, we can discuss the contract with them now," the director informed his assistant who went out to call Jennie. The rest of the crew left the room leaving the director, writer, producer, and me behind.

"Jay, you have anything to input?" the director asked me as I did not leave the room.

"Oh, I have decided to scout her to my entertainment company" I smiled

Jennie came in and greeted everyone, and she discussed the contract seriously. After ensuring that there are no loopholes in it, she asked Jasmine to sign the contract.

"You ladies free now? We can go to my office to discuss our contract over lunch" I asked while we were walking out of the room.

"Sure, we will be there. We must drop by a place first. We will meet you at the office after we are done," Jennie replied. I nodded I can wait for them.

I send Jennie my office address.

I reached my office and started a conference video to my older brothers.

"Yo, our superstar is finally free to call us" Reece spoke sarcastically.

I rolled my eyes at his comment, I was waiting for Esteban to answer.

Finally, he picked up the call.

"Jay, how are you?" he asked right away making me smile.

"I am fine Es, I am just missing you both and feeling a bit homesick, I guess" I spoke the last part softly but they both heard it.

"You can come anytime brother; we will be here" Est answered softly.

"I know, anyway the reason why I called is because, I saw a lady that looks exactly like mama. Same face and all but with our dad's eye," I shared with them what happened at the audition.

"I do not know, Jay, we have been disappointed before" Est sighed,

I was about to protest,

"But it does not hurt to check on her, maybe she could be the one, do not get your hopes high," he continued with a sad smile.

We all want out baby sister back home. Even though she is no longer a baby, she will be pampered by us.

We chatted a bit, Reece teased me here and there, only stopping when Est chided him.

I missed them, maybe I should go back home for a few days.

Around 3 pm, Jennie and Jasmine walked into my office. Jasmine was looking down.

"Hey, you, okay?" I asked her after requesting my assistant to bring up a hot chocolate with extra marshmallows and 2 teas for us.

"Yeah," she nodded sadly. I hope she is telling the truth.

"Before we discuss the contract and stuff. We need to tell you something" Jennie spoke seriously.

I nodded to let her go on.

"Jas was in a car accident 18 years ago, was taken from her family and thrown into an abusive home. The accident has caused some long-term health issues. One of them is a blood clot in her brain. She will be having a surgery to night to remove it" Jennie informed me as Jasmine started to sob. My assistant brought up the drinks.

"Jasmine, drink this it will make you feel better," I passed the mug of hot chocolate. She looked at the mug and at me in shocked.

She started to sip the drink. I knelt before her and placed my hands on her knees,

"Jasmine, I know the surgery will be tough, but I am going to be there for you and Jennie will be there as well. You are a strong girl. And when you wake up, I am going to make you waffles and pancakes to eat," I spoke to her softly, she smiled wider as I spoke.

"I would love that" she smiled at the food part.

"I promised to be there with the best waffles and pancakes. You know what, I know someone who makes the best pancakes, I am going to ask him to make it for you" I thought about Est and his pancakes.

"We will sign the contract after you settle your surgery" I smiled at them and they agreed with me. They spend some time in my office. we talked about got to know about each other.

They left at 8.30pm to pack their stuff for the hospital.

"Est, she is having a surgery tonight. I am going to ask the doctors to do a DNA test against mine. She was in a car accident 18 years ago and was given to an abusive family" I cried to my brother on the phone.

"Brother, calm down, take a deep breath" his voice washed a wave of calmness over me.

"You should do the DNA test. And Reece and I will be there in the morning. Till then, keep me update" Est said before hanging up.
