1 Chapter 1 :- A Final Chance

"No It's far too late, it's far too late".

Levi Morgan glanced at the clock on the wall of the hall and wailed in pain. He whispers to himself his sleeping habits should really be changed. Although there is still a lot of time left for today 's audition which starts from 9 am to 8 pm, you can always arrive at any time of the day but now he would have to wait in the line and he knows that today the people waiting in line will fill up the entire venue.

Suddenly Levi's phone rang abruptly, the melody of the cellphone filled the entire room which was very melodious, flowing slowly in the golden sunlight but for Levi, it only made him more flustered. He picked up the phone and had a quick glance at it then proceeded to drop it directly in his backpack. He took the key to the dinner table and quickly left the room, leaving only a bang and the wooden door complaining.

He slides on the staircase flying downstairs, after reaching outside Levi raised his hand and a yellow taxi quickly stopped at the side of the road. The only benefit he received by being late was to avoid the peak hours. Otherwise, in a big city like New York, there are tens of thousands of taxis but none would stop in an emergency.

"Ninth Avenue," Levi shouted loudly, and then opened the door up and the taxi immediately started the engine again.

The mobile phone in the backpack was still ringing tirelessly and the melody like the moonlight is perseveringly calling Levi to pick it up. Lifting his chin, he simply took care of his messy hair in the rearview mirror. The golden-brown short curly hair stretched stubbornly and slender fingers passed through the hair, trying to comb them in the same direction. After all the buttons on the top of the shirt have been fastened, making sure that there were no leaks in the clothing.

Levi finally picked up his phone "Hello, this is Levi Morgan".

"Levi, what the hell are you doing? You should know that refusing to answer my calls is very rude". A dignified but serious voice came from the other side of the phone.

Levi lost in thoughts proceeded to draw the figure of the other person in his mind effortlessly. A pure white lace shirt, paired with Black colored straight suit trousers. The sky blue blazer is spotless with today's "Times" in front of him. It's black tea and desserts with a scent.

"Mother, you should know that there is a big-time lag between us over here it just 10.30 am." Levi slowed down his speech speed to as slow and calm possible, with gentleman etiquette in grace but containing a hint of hidden taunt, this was his counterattack.

At the other end of the phone, it was Levi's mother, Elizabeth Morgan who lived in London. It was on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean and owned a famous art gallery.

"Isn't that your way of telling me that you just got up?" Elizabeth's voice rose slightly, with a posture of not being arrogant. "You should not let yourself live like this, you know this." Levi pursing his lips to counterattack but there was a hint of disapproval in his eyes as he had no intention of refuting these accusations as they were true.

Elizabeth seemed to realize this too, taking a deep breath, readjusted her emotions said "I know all about your actor's dream. After careful consideration, your father and I think we should give you a chance to prove your talents. So, buy the next ticket and come back to London. In March next year, 'Hamlet' will be staged again in the West End of London and we have secured the opportunity for you to perform. "

"What? Hamlet'?" Levi's eyes suddenly burst into light. As one of Shakespeare's four most famous tragedies, the name of this drama is naturally loud enough. It is a golden opportunity.

However, after the surprise, Levi then began to question their thoughts. From childhood to the age, father and mother never supported his actor's dream and even strongly opposed, why did they change their attitude today? He has been to New York for over three months. Even if they wanted to change, they had not missed a single opportunity. Is there anything special about today? Is this some sort of trap?.

"Are you serious?" Lan Li frowned, "What happened to your professional prejudice against actors? Don't you worry, after I became a real actor, I will never look back?

"Are you really going to take the actor as a lifelong career?" Elizabeth's tone seemed a bit stiff, even if it was not deliberately raised, but the coldness hidden in it was undoubted, "You are going to show your head outside all your life and then whispered Pleading for job opportunities exposing yourself to privacy under the spotlight, entertaining others with yourself and becoming a chatterer after dinner in the world? As a drama, you will always be just a plaything of others! Always a joke! Levi Morgan, you should know that your surname is far nobler than this!".

It's enough to make people feel utterly indifferent, even without any dirty words, enough to make people angry and trembling. But for Levi, he had already gotten used to it.

"Call me." There was a majestic voice beside, from far and near, and then the vigorous and steady voice came over. "You should know that this is your last chance."

This is his father, George Morgan the noblest man in all Britain and the current owner of the hereditary baron title who worked at Barclays Bank, responsible for managing the trust fund of the family.

"I've already had to go up and down to get you the entry in the " Hamlet " crew and play as Laertes. As for whether it is the first or second team, it depends on your own strength." George's cold voice as usual without any temperament, the command was swiftly and resolutely underground". He continued "This drama will be staged in the West End of London for three months. After three months, you will go back to Cambridge University to complete your studies. Future work will be arranged for you ".

It turns out as expected it was a trap

They have arranged everything, give him three months to realize his dream and then he will obediently return to their desired development trajectory. This is their so-called compromise it like giving him a toy for a while so he does obey them like a puppet. Looking forward to him and accepting joyfully, then thanking Dad by paying tribute.

All his life they have just wanted to control him like a slave, Levi was given no freedom to make his own decisions but that ends now.

"No!" The short and powerful answer, Levi once again firmly expressed his position.

"What? Are you crazy?" not only did George's voice burst, but instead he sank more and more, and the rage hiding in it began to gurgle out, "We have allowed your ridiculous demands to give you three months to achieve your stupid goal are you still not satisfied? ".

"I want to be an actor, a real actor." Faced with the oppression of his father, Levi did not flinch, and his eyes gleamed brightly. "I will work tirelessly to achieve this goal, even if the endpoint is the vast abyss, and I will never regret it ".

"Oh." Angrily laughed taken back, and the low laugh rolled in George's throat.

"Should I say you are naive or stupid? You should know that there are not a million people who get to be an actor all over the world. There are at most 800,000 but how many of them can truly reach the top and create great achievements? Five hundred? Or eight hundred? Everyone thinks they are special, everyone thinks they are geniuses, everyone thinks themselves It 's unique, but I tell you, no.

They are not, neither are you. There are not so many geniuses and so many miracles exist in the world. You are just a fool daydreaming, and the chance of success is equal to zero. ! "

"This is my dream," Levi said word by word, like a lighthouse in the violent wind and rain, about to be destroyed, but indestructible.

"A dream that will never be realized!" George said coldly, not caring about his son at the other end of the phone, and struggling to fight each other, "You are not a genius, never! A real genius, he should know how to measure himself Talents should also know how to position themselves, but also the difference between choosing to give up and choosing to stick. You are not, what you should have seen in real genius, from small to large, there are too many geniuses around in this world. So, you should understand this is a sense of stupidity, not only a waste of your time and energy but also a hindrance to everyone around you. You are not stupid, you should at least understand when to give up."

Faced with his father's mad bombing, Levi did not respond. He just listened quietly, like a statue, silently, and on the other end of the phone came an ultimatum from the other side of the Atlantic. "Have you heard? You do n't have the talent to perform! You should give up! If you do n't know how to give up, then it 's time for us to give up on you. So, coming back to London and attending the performance of 'Hamlet' is my concession and your last chance. "

After finishing speaking, George didn't wait for Levi's response and hung up the phone directly. The buzzing sound at the end of the phone was like a drum hitting Levi eardrum hard. , Earth-shattering.

Levi exhaled gently, looking at the prosperous scene of the city outside the window, a little fascinated. The ultimatum, today, he finally ushered in the first audition opportunity in New York in three months but also ushered in the ultimatum at home.

He knew the majesty of his father, George was the one who did what he said. Although it has been said that in the past three months, he has completely insisted on relying on his own hands, and he did not take a cent of his family, but he knows that today 's ultimatum is different, it may mean that they give up He was completely banished. Even if it's not an eviction, it should be close.

Maybe, as George said, knowing to give up is the ability of a smart person but if you give up your dreams and give up your freedom, does it not mean giving up your life? In his last life, he chose to follow the rules and be quite happy but in this life, should he continue to repeat the same mistakes?.

No, he refused! God gave him a chance to return, this time he will not miss it!
