Breaking news!!

"Can we go and grab something to eat?" Rhea inquires and that eams her a glare from me.

"Are you seriously talking about food right now?" I ask Rhea with shock lacing my voice because there are times that I find it really difficult to wrap my head around how Rhea thinks.

"come to think of it, we barely had anything to eat in the morning because of your over excitement about the whole engagement more so, you were more concerned about us checking that everything was in place after hiring the best of the best of the best to be in charge of the engagement ceremony and I accompanied you without questions" Rhea states and my irritation flares.

Are you seriously doing this right now because you don't like Ember?" I ask her with clenched fists.

*I think there is some kind of misunderstanding going on here so why don't we just go about that somewhere away from here?" Adrian says quickly stepping in between Rhea and I to stop the fight before it starts.

"There is no misunderstanding here, this is just how Rhea feels about Ember and the fact that I am still getting married to Ember despite your disapproval doesn't even make her hate or dislike for Ember lessen"

the same goes for you so don't you dare act like a saint" I rebuke disgusted by Adrian act of self-righteousness

I don't really remember Adrian's mom and Embers mom being so close to the point that the first person that she is approaching immediately after seeing the doctor is Adrian's mom instead of either of my parents that will soon become one family with theirs.

"let's just assume that they probably bonded after Embers twin sister died and now their almost inseparable since embers dead sister and Adrian were madly in love with each other" I mutter as I take my phone out to inform Elliot about what is going on with Ember so that if he wraps up his meeting early, he won't make his way down to the event center thinking the event is on full swing

"Soon to be Mrs. Kings collapses at her own engagement ceremony" is the first thing that pop up on my notification bar from my browser and immediately after that, my phone starts to beep with all sorts of notification from different social media platforms

It takes a while for me to wrap my head around why there is so much controversy going on about someone whom the details of her health condition has not been disclosed to the general public as to if she is out of danger or not.

I follow the thread of one of the viral twitter posts on my timeline that has a whole lot of engagement and there are so many popular bloggers repeatedly tweeting with the same hashtag #troubleinparadise and the hashtag has over 144 thousand views in less than an hour

My bone of contention right now is that why are these silly people trying to chase clout with something that concerns somebody's health just because they wat to trend.

Most importantly, where are all these insensitive comments and unnecessary speculations about the reason why Ember passed out, instead of them to wait for an official statement from her family

I am so going to ask Miss Caleb to get the PR team of KINGS CORP. to conduct a proper investigation on who created the hashtag that is being used to say insensitive things about Ember.

"I think I agree with you" Rhea says placing her hand on my shoulder, startling me.

"what are you doing here sneaking up on me like that" I ask her alarmed.

*I wasn't sneaking up on you, I have been sitting here with you for a while but you didn't seem to bother with me, instead you have been mumbling to yourself she answers defensively.

"that is not the answer to my question Rhea.. I just asked you what you are doing here" 1 ask her giving her a frank look.

"Fineeeee" she says with a shade of disappointment on her face at the unwelcoming tone that I gave her.

"I came here to explain that I was trying to help earlier, but you misunderstood my intentions and said hurtful things to me" Rhea expresses as I scan her from head to toe, unsure of what to say to her.

"hello!" Rhea says snapping her well-manicured fingers in front of me.

"are you okay?" she inquires and I scoff.

"at these point, I really feel that you guys should stop asking me if I am okay when it is clear to all of you that the woman that I have admired from afar for years is in the hospital fighting for her life, two out of the three closest friends that I have are sparing no effort to prove to me that they are not ready to compromise their strong dislike for Ember for the sake of my happiness, and lastly almost everyone online is using Embers health condition to improve their social media impressions, so no I am not okay" I start zooming into my valley of outburst.

*I think I understand the part of people using the plane jane to trend" Rhea expresses

and I stare at her with hollow eyes, shell shocked.

*I mean, an opportunity presented itself for people to go viral in a matter of seconds just by saying something about the plane jane so do you really think that they will let such a golden opportunity slip through their fingers without milking every part of it?" she inquires and a wave of disappointment strikes me.

*I feel so disappointed in myself for believing for a split second that you could really understand what I was going through, but here you are utilizing the leverage that vou have to communicate your strong dislike for Ember" I express, hot with humiliation and disappointment.

"that's not true" Rhea says in a defensive tone

"I was only trying to explain things to you so that you won't allow the insensitive things that people online have to say to get to you" she defends

"the people that I call my own friends could only think about food in such a critical situation so what should I have expected from the netizens" | hiss

"about that, I didn't ask you to let us go and grab something to eat because I was trying to project my strong dislike foe Ember" she starts and I raise an eyebrow at her

*I admit that I don't like Ember, but since you came over to invite me to your engagement I decided to be there for you because I care about you and most importantly, friends look out for each other" she expresses taking my hand in hers

"when I suggested that we should go and eat, I wasn't being insensitive because I didn't like Ember, I was only looking out for you because I after I saw both Embers parents walk past us earlier. I wanted to use going out to eat as an excuse so that we can at least find a way to pass time while waiting for Ember parents instead of siting in the awkward silence waiting doing nothing Rhea expresses and I blink back my shock

*we have been together since yesterday and you have been so happy about your engagement ceremony that you barely had anything so eat so I just really wanted you to ear something so that you don't end up passing out like the plane jane" she expresses sigh tiredly not knowing what else to say to Rhea, because at this point I don't know what it is going to take for Rhea to stop referring to Ember as 'plane jane'.

"BREAKING NEWS!!!" the overly dramatic news headline displaying on the hospital television screen catches my attention and I pause

"A ONE NIGHT WITH THREE PEOPLE" the journalist whose location looks like that of the entrance of crystal royal care center, the same hospital that Ember is admitted in announces with Embers picture overlaying one side of the screen with a big question mark and that confuses me the more

"Ember Weston's pregnancy test surfaces after she collapsed earlier today at her own engagement as she tries to cover up the news by tearing the pregnancy test and disposing after an alleged one night stand with three people" the journalist went ahead to announce

"the identity of the three people that Ember Weston slept with includes: her boss, her dead sister's boyfriend, and her fiances best friend in person of Adrian sawyer.

"I will continue this episode of breaking news in silver city after returning from a five minutes break while I put together concrete evidence to prove to everyone in silver city that this breaking news is 100% legit" she says before going on her proposed break while | stand rotted in my spot completely ignoring the commotion that is going on in the hospital lobby.
