“Hmm…you have grown so beautiful and more popular my dear Ariel..can’t believe you made it so fast” Miss Peggy muttered, taking a drag of the cigar in between her fingers as she puff out the balls of smoke from her nostril, as little escapes her mouth. She was watching a playback video of Ariel’s performance, her latest pictures in the modeling world and also the recent crown contest.

Scarlet, her friend entered the room, looking down as she collected the cigar from her, taking heavy drags from it

“What the…hey…what’s wrong” Miss Peggy snapped collecting it back from her…

“F**k that bastard….i was duped” Scarlet

“Why…I mean how..?” She asked, getting on her feet. Scarlet scoffs

“By that crazy bastard that I call a business partner; right now, I’m broke…I don’t know what to do..I need to pay up my sister’s school fees; else she won’t be able to participate in the upcoming exam in her school.” Scarlet cried out, already at the brink of tears. She stood up and walk towards the drinks shelf, picking a 70% alcohol drink as she gulps it down her throat in a rush

“Hey…you need to take a chill pill”

“I can’t do that…can’t you see that I really needed that money…If I lay my hands on the b!tch..she won’t leave to see her kids…

“You don’t need to freak out…there are better ways we can get quick money..even in this period of draught for us. We are getting broke due to poor business…I can’t get enough girls to meet the taste of those men. And the ones we have are worn out…”

“Then how do you plan on getting the money..” Scarlet asked with a frown. Miss Peggy smirks as pointed at the TV. Scarlet frown increased as she scoffs

“Ariel…damn you Peggy…we can’t get that girl any longer…she is now rich and influential…we can’t even think of kidnapping her if that’s what is in your mind”

“And who is talking about kidnapping her…we have down that countless times with no result”

“So what are you implying?”

“Since we couldn’t make use of her to get our money…then she will need to give it to us herself. I know what I spent to bring her to this country….she will need to pay me back” Miss Peggy snorted. Scarlet still gave her that confuse look…not knowing how she intends on doing that

“What’s your plan?” She asked

“My men are in Africa….we will be leaving to see what they found, perhaps…next week.”

“And how does going there concerns we and Ariel..”

“It does, because..that’s the only way we could get to her. Her Mother is expecting us…” She smirked as scarlet smiled, understanding her point.

Seoul, Korea~

“Wow…this place is beautiful….” Ariel muttered with her mouth wide open as she stepped down from the car. It was already dark but the numerous lights surrounding the place gave it a glorious sight

“Yes…they call here carnival land…there is a carnival going on over there…let’s go have a look.” He muttered as they went towards the crowd of people dressed in funny masquerades wears. Ariel couldn’t help but laugh at their crazy outfit.

Axel has really done a great job taking her to various places there in Seoul and she really loves the places they went to.

He took her to one of their biggest museum, where she gets to see amazing works of art; they also visited the park and rode on a ferry wheel, snake train and all that, of which she couldn’t help but scream when the train started moving, due to how fast it was going. After their brief fun, he decided to take her to this Carnival land which she is excited to see.

“I will go get us some outfit…wait here..please don’t go anywhere…” Axel stated while she nodded, staying away from the crowd. She watch with glee as some group of dancers performs on the stage which was close to the road. Their outfit was top notch, adding beauty to their dance steps.

~

“Hey…I can see her now..she is alone” A weird dressed man muttered into his mouthpiece as he watches Ariel from behind. He and his colleagues had been observing them ever since they left the house. But not for once has Axel let go of her, and they needed to be careful because they can’t say if the guards are close by watching the duo from afar.

They both didn’t go out with any guard when leaving that morning, but Axel might also be as smart as his brother; asking the guards to watch from afar.

The carnival land is actually the best place to carry out their mission, due to the large number of crowd present. No one will know if anything goes wrong, they are all focused on each performance being performed on the stage.

The masked man was holding a handkerchief which has been drugged. He planned on covering her nose with it, and dragging her unconscious self with him. The people won’t notice anything, they will think she is drunk being that some ladies has actually be carried out that way after displaying madness due to the high percentage of alcohol they took.

“Ok…you need to be careful…make sure no one sees you, watch your steps and pretend to be going your way..” Frank ordered as he watched his men from the CCTV. He had gained access to the live footage, all he needs to do is order his men and they will carry out the plan. Someone was also keeping watch on Axel.

“Roger that Frank” The masked man muttered

“Hey you…keep an eye on that guy…he mustn’t leave the dress house…” he spoke to the one in charge of Axel

“Sure frank…I’m keeping my eyes on him.

Axel went into the custom house to get some wears for the both of them. He had alerted his personal guard who had been with them ever since they stepped out of the house. Although Ariel knew nothing about someone monitoring them, because he was far off.

“Keep an eye on her” Axel texted the guard as his message entered almost immediately.

“My eyes won’t leave her for a sec..” Axel read the message before going in. He was just about picking a wear when he felt the presence of someone at his back. It was a tall lanky man on black, with a face mask. He pretended not to see him as he went about his selection.

When he was done, he made to step out, the man walk towards him blocking the way.

“What do you want from me man…” Axel asked in Korean language thinking he was a Korean. He knew no one could recognize him since it was dark and he was also putting on a face cap, but the guy here seems to be looking for trouble.

“I want you to go back in there and get more cloths, you ain’t stepping out” The lanky man replied with a scoff. It became dawn on Axel that he wasn’t a Korean, he sounded like an American

“F**k you bastard..get out of my way..” he pulled the man away by force, as they engage in a fist fight.

“You ain’t leaving here too…I’m gonna beat you to a pulp.” The lanky man threatened as Axel gave him a head cut, shoving a punch into his face. The owner of the custom house was busy listening to music with a headphone suck on his ears. He probably wouldn’t hear anything.

The man returned the punch but Axel dodged it and landed a hard kick on his groin. The man groan going down to the ground as he made his way out

“F**k you p**sy” Axel snapped and left

~~

The masked man was already half way behind Ariel when suddenly someone dragged her away from that spot. It was a young Korean girl.

“Hey where are you taking me to…hey stop” Ariel yelled trying to pull her hand but the girls grip was surprisingly tight. They stopped in front of an ice-cream shop, where she saw lots of children buying cones of ice-cream. She glanced at the little girl who had a sad look on.

“What is it..” Ariel asked, even though she knows the girl doesn’t understand her. The girl pointed to the ice-cream shop, trying to mime some things to her. With the way she was demonstrating it, Ariel believes she needed one of those ice-creams, but doesn’t have the money to get one

“Oh…you wants some ice-cream..” Ariel asked as she nodded.

“Ok…erm…I think I have some Korean currency here….have this” She gave the girl a note, as she gasp. The young girl hugged Ariel tightly kissing her stomach countless times before heading to the shop. She got two and gave one to Ariel. She was still left with lots of change and that made Ariel believe the money she gave the girl was huge. No wonder the girl gasps.

“Thanks….” Ariel stated collecting the ice-cream as she scoop it

~

“Shit” the masked man cursed as he watches the young girl drag Ariel and they got lost into the crowd

“What is it..” Frank asked from the other end

“I lost her”

“What the F**k”

“Some random girl came and drags her away”

“You should have followed them” Frank spat

“I did, but she was fast, I lost them into the crowd…”

“F**k you bastard, just get your ass over here…the guy also escaped..” Frank ordered and the connection went off.

~~

“Hey…we need to go…” Axel muttered on finding Ariel..

“Huhn…but we just got here…and erm…I’m sorry for leaving where you asked me to stay..this girl…hun” She stopped when she couldn’t see the girl

“Where did she go..she was here just now..” Ariel squinted, surprised at the girl’s sudden disappearance

“Who is that?” Axel asked

“Erm…never mind..”

“I think someone is after me…come on..let’s leave..”

“Huhn…are you ok..were you hurt?” Ariel asked with concern touching his face

“No it’s fine…come on” They left the carnival and headed home immediately. The personal guard went into his car and drove just behind them.

~~~~~

“But why will someone be after you…I mean..you didn’t hurt anyone over here…” Ariel asked as they arrive home

“Yea..perhaps he is some touts, but he speaks like an American. He didn’t want me to leave, and that got me thinking….perhaps he is not after me…” Axel replied, slumming on the couch. The man had also dealt with him. His punch were hard and it left a small scar on his face

“What are you insinuating?” Ariel asked, sitting beside him as she examine his face

“Hmm..never mind…it can’t be what I’m thinking” He mouthed as she drew closer to touch his cheek were the scar is. He turned to look at her on feeling her close presence, and this made her heart beat accelerate.

 If he was to be a vampire then he would have heard how fast it beats. Their eyes were locked for a moment, until Axel decides to break the eye contact.

“I will be in my room..” He stated and stood up

“W-what about your wound…” She shuttered, mentally cursing herself for creating an intense atmosphere. She shouldn’t have looked at him that way, and not to talk about the numerous weird thought that flipped into her mind at that moment.

“I will take care of it..thanks…goodnight” He mumbled and took to the stairs after she had replied him

~~~~~

Days passed by with them still living in peace and agreement. They spend most of their times, getting to know more about each other, playing games, watching movies and engaging in the rehearsals, and now is the D-day. Axel was dressed in a wine tuxedo with golden button.

 He had his hair jelled to the back leaving the front hair to fall across his face. He looks like a demi-god and the Koreans wouldn’t mind screaming their lungs out just to hear him sing.

 The song they are to perform will be a mix language of Korean and English. Axel doesn’t have a problem with the Korean part being that he had learnt the language over the years of his music journey. Ariel is to sing mainly the English part of the song, so as not to bit her tongue.

She was dress in a short red flair gown, with medium heels. The hair stylist gave justice to her hair, while the makeup artist changed her face to look more like an angel. 

If there were not in a public area, Axel wouldn’t have mind drooling at her all day. But he had to stick to what he had to do. They got on stage welcomed with tons of screams from the crowd as they gave out their best smiles.

 The music started with them giving it their best voices and ended it with a high spirit. They just lifted the spirit of the crowd and Axel had to let go of his coat, because the crazy female fans wouldn’t let him rest if he doesn’t.

Ariel blew kisses at them as they left the stage.

“We will be leaving tomorrow” Axel said to her as they made their way to the house after a whole stressful day.

“Really…so fast..”

“Yes…our mission is done..or don’t you want to leave yet…” He asked

“Well…I have no choice…I need to go” She shrug and pouted. He smiled

“Don’t worry..we will come here for another concert..soon..okay…and very soon you will be free to travel to any country of your choice” He stated with a smile as she returned it.

Cape Town~

Flora’s House~~

Karl was sitting on the bed in Flora’s room while she changed in her closet. They were about going out on a date as he waits for her to quickly dress up. He was holding his phone going through some headlines in a news blog, when a weird headline popped up alongside a video.

~~CHEATING BROTHER AND GIRLFRIEND: AIDEN F**KS FLORA WHILE SHE STILL DATES AXEL~~

The headline reads, as the video was pasted beneath it. Karl lost his breath on playing the video; it was actually true; the video had capture them both n*de on the bed, making out.

He was lost in the video to have notice the presence of Flora in the room, who had been calling his name without receiving a response.

“Karl..” She called again. He flinched and looked at her.

“What are you watching…I’m hearing mo@ns” She stated. It was too late; before he could hide his phone she had gotten to him and grabs it.

“Flora…you shouldn’t watch…” he was about saying when her eyes popped out. The phone fell off her hand after seeing the headline and the already playing video.

She lost consciousness and landed on the floor, but Karl was swift enough to grab her.

“Flora…flora..please don’t do this….look at me…somebody help…” he screamed shaking her body.

He picked her from the floor and headed downstairs, his body shaking vigorously with fear of losing her.
