Enchanted Nightfall: Falling for Destiny ( Quintessa and Tyrone ) novel Chapter 16

Chapter 16 

Wouldn’t give the time of day, but Tyrone is different, huh?

Quintessa’s word echoed relentlessly in Jerome’s ears, stirring a nameless rage within him. How in the world was he any less than Tyrone?

no effect on him whatsoever. It was as if it really didn’t matter to him. 

The casting for the TV series “Shadows of the Past” was settled; all that was left was to sign the contract and wait for the call to join the set. 

However, there had been no news about the role in the film “Whispers in the Wind“. After a full week of waiting, at 10 p.m. on a weekend night, Quintessa was already asleep when Violet burst in.
