Hillary rouse early, she received an email from the organizer of the event that they required to bring themselves to the event hall and proceed with registration process eventhough they submitted their credentials through online.She examined her suitcase and picked up a floral dress. She got a cold shower and fixed herself in a small mirror inside the room. She glanced at her figure and she looked satisfied. She decided not to bring her guitar since she will only be there for registration. She went to the kitchen and noticed Marina wasn't there."She might went to the market", she thought. Then decided to eat later after singning up. She lifted her purse and mobile situated inside her room and as she was about to bust out she overheard a loud noise coming from her room. She was startled. She thought it might a branch of a tree but later on she realized that there are rooms in the second floor.It's already morning but the atmosphere seemed creepy. Despite her terrified state she deci
After Hillary explore around the city to view tourist attraction, she settled to go home.It was such a glorious day for her to have a short break after many years being occupied with studies. She took hold of her education seriously.On the other side, Kryss can't do anything but to glanced at Hillary's figure from afar. He craved to feel her presence badly, he fancied to hug her, and to keep her in his embrace but he can't do anything right now. He don't want to intimidate her. She might stay far away from him. He wanted to see her in the competition. Singing is her passion since she was young and he was completely aware with that. He was so amazed how this girl grew up so captivating. He reminisced the past and perceived that she was once a sweet child which turned into a goddess! A true beauty!When Hillary hailed a taxi, Kryss followed her in silence. He hungerrd to know where she lives. He kept a distance from the taxi so she can't notice him keeping an eye on her. They drove go
Today is the day of Hillary's momentous event. She set an alarm and rouse at four in the morning. She received messages from Marcus and Marina wishing her good luck and looking forward for her victory. "I hope I can make it. The orphanage needs the money." she uttered. While selecting an outfit from her suitcase she recall that her dad assured her that he will look over on her before her competition. She decided to call her dad. The phone rang twice and got connected. "Hey dad, I'm about to compete today. " she said avidly."I know honey, send me the address of the event and I'll be there. I just set foot in Manhattan Airport but I still have business to sort out to. What time is the event?" "Wow dad, you make me over the moon. You are my only support for today. I'll text you the exact address and please show up at exactly 8:00 a.m." she said merrily. "I surely will, honey. Get some breakfast before leaving and keep safe." Kevin Chen ended the call. Hillary was so jovial upon h
Hillary sat tight patiently for her turn to showcase her talent. Although she has been performing for quiet a while now, she still felt anxious. This is the first time she take part in an international contest. The first five contestants went ahead to perform and she can't oppose the fact that they have exeptional talent. She pondered if she can make it. She has second thought of copping out but then she contemplated about the reason why she joined. "I need to win." she murmured. She was busy scanning other contestants as they carried out when suddenly she felt something strange. It came across someone was spying in her direction. She looked to her right side and left side but everyone's eyes were focus in the stage. "Maybe it's just my intuition," she thought. She pulled a deep breath. The succeeding contestant rendered them a real show. They are a pair of dancers who hang themselves in a loop while performing. The majoritu f the crowd was in awe. Some applauded noisily.Hillary
Kryss hesitated to hold Hillary when all the lights in the hall was out. It was the first time that such trouble arose. Abruptly there's a gunshot."Aaaaaaaaaaaah"It was a loud scream coming from their direction. Kryss was alarmed. Without second thoughts he grabbed Hillary leading her to the exit in the backstage. The hall was in total chaos. While strolling to their way out Kryss dialled a phone number. The call was quickly answered. " Meet me in the back exit", Kryss ordered and the call was ended."Hey, what's going on? Please stay away from me. I need to go back inside the hall." Hillary insisted and yanked her hand away from Kryss. "Please keep your mouth shut or else we will be in trouble." Kryss walked as fast as he can. "My bag was there and...." Hillary was not able to complete her sentence. She was snatched forcefully and was thrown inside the backseat .As soon as they heard so many gunshots the car sped away from the hall. Hillary can't speak any word. It appeared t
Hillary was unaware of Kryss's identity. She wanted to escape from him but she required to plan it well. He appeared to be not an ordinary person. "What if he is a kidnapper?", she suddenly thought. Her award has nothing to do with her safety now. She thought about the foregoing incident that took place. What if the organizer and the sponsors of the event collaborated to make winners as their subject for kidnapping? She was overwhelmed with conflicting feelings. She never heard about this international contest before, only just after Marina proposed this. Hillary was troubled about her bag that was left inside the hall. She stand up and was about to go out when Kryss spoke up."What are you doing?", he warned her. Then she added, "care to follow me?" Kryss wasn't expecting this side of Hillary. He felt somehow provoked by her question. He thought about their dreadful encounter. This might be the reason why they don't have pleasant conversation. "Why she didn't recognize me? The
Hillary had a very good sleep. When she wake up she espied that she was laying in bed. She recollected that she drifted off in the couch. She was timid when all of a sudden she realized that Kryss might shifted her to the bedroom. She noticed that she was wearing a pair of loose shirt and pajama. She wanted to stand up to confirm to him when she overheard dialogues of two people. "Lower your voice she might hear you." Kryss warned Janna.Hillary sighed. She thought that the two people were fighting. "I don't want to be the root of their argument," she whispered to herself. "Whatever Kryss, introduce me to her. Where is she?", Hillary heard the doorknob of the room was turned quickly but luckily it was locked. Hillary felt a sigh of relief. She don't want to be drag by Kryss's lover. She don't know her. She might be someone who enjoyed public scandal and she had no idea what might happen. "Don't disturb her sleep. I'll introduce you to her once she wake up okay?" "Alright. Good."
After Hillary arrived in Manhattan she purchased a new phone and straight away she waved a taxi going home. She was bothered when she spotted that there were so many people around Chen's mansion and that includes Marina and Marcus. "Ma'am, you a-are alive? I mean you a-are here?", Nick their family driver uttered through broken voice. Shocked was evident in his eyes. "Yes, where's mom and why there are so many people here?" She was unable to contain her curiosity."Mom? Mom? What happened?" She inquired in panic. She had a bad feeling that something was going on. Her mother was crying and gripping her phone while twitching.When she detected Hillary's arrival. "Oh my Hillary, what happened ? You are here, you are safe. Thank God," Thea Chen stated while embracing her. Marina was taken aback to see her too. It seemed that her arrival was unexpected. She had no chance to notify anyone for her homecoming.."Hillary I tried to contact you, what came off? You were not replying back?"
