The kind director took her to his place, and she founds out she wasn't the only girl he took in, two girls plus her as the third wheel.
She didn't know why she trusted him,but she had lived enough to know people's intentions, good or bad.
She lived in the streets for 15years as far as she can remember,she didn't know about her parent,or the last name she beared,she just found herself roaming around the streets as a homeless child.
There,she met kids like her,in rags with no shoes,their hair was tangled and roughed, face dark due to days they went through without water touching their body, they look tiny and skinny from hunger, people shunned them whenever they begged for food,while some pitied them and offer them their remnants.
No one offered them help, they just roamed around the city,looking for food to survived from hunger,
Some die in an accident, while the weak one died of hunger,life was hard for them,no shelter,clothes and food.
When rain started pouring,they squeezed themselves in a corner or a place that rain doesn't entered, in winter life was a living hell,in summer life was much more worst a living hell too. No seasons was better.
Whenever she saw kids like her,dressed in decent clothes with their parent, she envied and got angry on why she's like this, but she knew better that it was not their fault she was like this with other kids,but life isn't fair, they are supposed to be pitied, but they seems invincible to them.
As times goes by, some people in uniform patrolling in their cars, whenever they saw homeless people like her,they catch them and forced them to the cars, when ever they saw the people or their cars they always run for their life.
Then,she didn't know why they usually run away, but later on ,she learned some are human traffickers,while some are from a corporative society that helps kids like her,and sent them to orphanage.
People turned her into a thief, a stealer, and she become less fear and bold. School was one thing she didn't got to attend but wish to,but right that moment surviving hell was her first priority.
The director whose name was Mr Baker, got her admitted to school same school where the other girls attended. She was indeed grateful and happy for that.
At 16 she started appearing in some of his films as a guest, at 18 she made her first debut,that make her famous and loved by many people.
She bear the director's name as her last name, Jessica Baker, she continued until she became rich and famous. Just as he promised.
This made her looked up to him & respected him, treated him like her father, and feel like he's a godfather sent by God to her.

A black Mercedes Benz pack in front of a tall,beautiful mansion, surrounded by lights from the standing bulb.
The car's door opened, and a lady in a jean and shirt, hugging a file scurried to the other side of the door and pulled it open for her boss.
It took three seconds for the person inside the car to bring their legs out, with reveals a leg in black high heels that shone brightly with the lights around. A beautiful tall lady emerged from the car, her lips painted red, her eyes hide in the black shade which covered half of her face mostly, her curly blondes hair fell on her shoulder.
She was shaped and curvy, that was visible in the tight black slit gown,on her shoulder was a black coat that reached her waist with has furry hair on it around the neck.
Her mouth moved as she chewed gum, "Beth lives here?" She asked,more like she needs confirmation, her voice sweet, that sounds like music to ears.
"Yes ma'am, she did" her manager who was a young girl,not more than 18years old answered.
She looked around the place, that was surrounded by trees, the mansion was built away from the city.
'how weird' she thought.
"That's so strange don't you think?" She asked her manager again.
"I thought so too, if you're feeling uneasy about it, I suggest we should go back,it was never too late for a second thought" her manager who goes by the name Bella said, she feels so eerie by coming here. How could a sane woman live here? The thought of building a house here was so insane!.
"No" her boss rejected the idea, she said "it was just a meal, a harmless one. I don't think beth can go that far to hurt me, " with that she started walking to the entrance door.
Bella followed her,making sure she was close enough with her boss.
Jessica stopped on her track, on having a second thought about her manager following her in, causing Bella to bump into her back while busied peering around to checked the place well.
She quickly apologize after realizing what she did.
"I'm sorry ma'am, did I hurt you?"
Jessica turned to face Bella's worried face, in a calm tone, she said, "I'm fine, I just think maybe you should go back home and wait for me" waving her purse at her car's direction.
Bella's eyes widened, she quickly shook her head , "no! I will wait, I'm so sorry for offending you,but please let me go in with you" she finished, as she thought by bumping into the young actress, she had offended her.
Jessica sighed, and placed her hand on Bella's shoulder she said, "you didn't offend me Bella sweet" she smiled, cupping the young girl's cheeks, "but going there alone was my wish, you respect my wishes, don't you?"
"I...I did" she stammered.
"Yeah, so be a good girl and listen... Samuel will drive you back home, remember? You have an exam tomorrow, why don't you go and revised it again, If you pass, I promised you a new pairs of shoes" that alone brought smile to the girl face.
"Really?!"
Jessica nodded, and before she could do anything the girl ran to the car and entered.
Smiling, Jessica waved at the car that drove out of her sight, she adores Bella, and see her like a younger sister. She's adorable, and was such a sweetheart.
She look up to the sky, it's going to start snowing soon. She thought.
Remembered she have a dinner to attend to,she turned and started walking over to the door, her gowns slit moving aside exposing her thighs down to her long leg as she walks.
She elegantly raised her hand and pressed the bell.
With one press, the door was opened, and revealed a young man in his uniform, with a bow tie around his neck.
