On hearing what the leader said, I stood behind Colin frozen in fright, I stood there watching with bated breath, my heart pounding as the leader moved steps closer to Colin.“You’re not as tough as you think, youngman” the leader smirked and blew a breeze on his knife, sending shivers through my spine.“I don’t need to be tough,” Colin replied, standing tall, and strong. “I just need to be tough enough to save her from you.” Colin added and immediately, Colin lunged forward, catching the leader by surprise grabbing his hand as he grappled for control over the knife.Through the struggle, Colin punched the leader to make him free his hold on the knife but he didn't, surprisingly the other men moved backwards on sighting blood oozing out of their leader's nose. “Don’t just stand there,” the leader shouted at his men as he struggled with Colin. “Get her!” he yelled angrily. On hearing that, I looked up at the rest of the men and they started walking closer to me. One of the men rushe
“What?" I asked, surprised by what Lisa just told me, I recall Zack said he is single then how..?, I mean How…? Did he end up getting a girlfriend so soon, how? He just arrived at Boston hills."Are you sure it was Zack? Maybe you just saw someone who looked like him, it does happen.” "No Selena, I'm sure it was him," Lisa responds. "I mean, I didn't want to jump to conclusions when I saw them, but they were holding hands and laughing together. It looked like they were on a date or something."My jaw dropped. "This can't be happening. I mean, I know Zack is still single, how?.""I don't know what to think anymore Selena, he said so himself that day,how can he lead me on, I can't believe he would become a two timer!” Lisa added, I could hear her sniff her tears in.“I’m sorry, Selena. I know you were hoping and was about trying to help me get together with Zack, but it's really complicated now. It seems like Zack isn't interested, sorry I made you go through that,” Lisa replied and I
“ I..I mean…Are the staff awake yet?” I asked, chuckling awkwardly.Rachael sighed “ Miss Kings I don't know what you are talking about, but one thing I know is, get a grip of yourself, you seem lost minded right now”.She continued,“ Today is the last Shoot, And A male model will be introduced!”“ A male what?”“ A male model, so you need to finish your shoots early before he arrives".Rachael said, turned and was about walking out but then stopped.“ I almost forgot,” she turned over. “ how did it go with Mr Zack last night?” Rachael asked.“ Mr Zack! Ehmm..., It went well,” i replied, “Mr Zack and I, discussed the characters for the game and some other details needed.” I lied.Rachael nodded, not suspecting a thing. “Well, that’s great."Rachael glances at her watch again, her expression so serious now. “You have a meeting with Mr Martins Company fashion designer this morning to try out the new clothes for today's shoot,” she said. “You should get ready now.”I nodded and stood up
“ What?” I asked still in disbelief, I recall telling Mr martins to find someone else a Paris model why this?. “ Mr Martins, like I said ….”“ Miss Kings” Rachael interrupted my speech and took my hand, pulling me aside. “ Miss Kings, I mean I should talk casually right now, Selena this is the only way this can work, Mr martins couldn't find a Male model despite talking on several calls for almost an hour, and also you can't tell the company what to do, you just needs to accept it, this is how it works.” Rachael explained.I looked up at Rachael,and I understood what she meant, but being in a close space with Colin like last night!, I shouldn’t allow that. “I don't have to do this,” I replied.“Look, Miss Kings, the company has the final say,” she said. “And frankly, you need to make this work. If you don't play nice, they could replace you. Do you really want to risk that? The Flight to Paris, your accommodation here, and meals here was all paid, canceling it all, you’ll need to ref
I felt my blood run cold as I closed my eyes boiling in anger, slowly I opened my eyes again. “I’m not interested in being part of some PR stunt,” I said, standing up. “My private life is just that….private.”Mr. Martins leans back, unfazed. “Oh, I understand. But think of it this way, it’s a great opportunity to increase your own profile, to raise your stock in the industry. And it’s only temporary if you want”" I don't want it, if this continues, I might end up terminating the contract" I spat, and walked out of Mr Martin's office angrily. I went back to my Hotel and took a nap.*******The loud sound from my phone ringing woke me up, I looked at the caller ID and it was Rachael so I picked it.“ Hello…” I groggily" Miss Kings, Luxe Scents just launched their fragrance, they used the most provocative photos of you and Mr Rogers, the Internet is Ablaze”This statement from Rachael woke me up fully.“ You mean what?” I Exclaimed.“ Mr Martins choosed the most provocative shoot, thi
Jasper POVAfter ending the call with Selena, I stood up from my chair, took my wine glass and walked over to the window, staring out at the city skyline. Selena’s scandal with Colin isn't something I should let drag for too long. I sip from my wine glass deep in thought as I consider my next move.After minutes of thinking, I pulled my phone from my pocket, dialed a number. “I need to speak with Martins,” I said to the person on the other end of the line. “Right away sir,”he replied.Within minutes, my call was redirected to Martins." Mr..Mr..Santos" Martins stammered. On hearing his voice, I sighed “I hope I’m not calling at a bad time.” I asked." No..no sir, you aren't!"“Mr. Martins,” I called, sounding businesslike. “What can I do for you sir?” he replied.“I’m sure you’ve heard about the recent scandal involving Colin Rogers and Selena Kings?,” I asked.“Yes.. sir, I have,” Martins replied, “ And…” “And, I heard it started from you!". I beat him to it!” “ Sir, it isn't tr
Selena POV Last night Lisa was so happy when Jasper informed us about his App launch party. As soon as the call ended, Lisa stood up from her seat and sat very close to me. “ What is it?” I asked suspiciously, looking at her with the side of my eyes."I need a favor from you," Lisa asked, closing up both of her hands, acting like a cute puppy." What?" I asked, scared of what she might ask as a simple favor." I want you to call Zack and invite him, I didn't have a plan for tomorrow night. Now that I do, I need to use it effectively, and besides if you're with Jasper tomorrow, I'll be lonely at the party" Lisa explained. Shaking my arms.I couldn’t refuse, “ okay okay!” I accept." I will"." Call him now!" Lisa urged, I sighed and dialed Zack's number, the phone rang but it wasn't answered. I called him severally but still no answer, Lisa was frustrated already she took her phone and called him but it was the same no answer.“It's okay already” I took Lisa’s phone from her. “Maybe h
“ What's happening?”“ What's wrong?”“ Why the light off” people gasps“ What's going on, is it safe here?” Lisa pressed.“ Do something!” Someone yelled, as everyone began murmuring.All of a sudden someone grabbed my arm, “ huh!” I Exclaimed in shock “ what the…” I was about to say but got pulled along. I struggled against my unseen assailant, trying to free myself from the grab, “Let go of me!” I yelled but the murmuring was too much no one could hear me. I stretched my hand and couldn't get hold of Zack nor Lisa.“ Everyone please calm down!” we all heard Jasper’s voice. “Boom!!” a loud crash as one of the hall’s windows shattered. “Ahhh” ladies screamed as some people ran out of the hall in chaos, the broken window gave way and the moonlight shined into the hall through it, giving it some brightness. Immediately I turned to see who held my arms and it was Colin.“ What's your problem!” I asked.Colin moved forward placing his lips on my ear “ Like I said earlier, this launc
