Married Life With My Superstar Idol Chapter 37: Icebreaker
“What's happening here?” a cool monotonous tone cut Eon's tantrums in. “Uncle!” the kid shouted as he hurried to his uncle's side. Zacharias glanced at Phyllis, Aster, and Eli, before turning to his nephew, Eon. He crouched down beside Phyllis to face Eon. “What's wrong, kid?” “Uncle Aster wants to invite Aunt to join the game, but I don't want her to be on another team,” he grumbled. He slowly nodded his head as he listened to Eon's whining. He leaned closer to Phyllis' side and quietly asked. “Do you want to join Aster, Lis?” Phyllis was taken aback by his sudden question. Though he asked in his low voice, it was gentle and calm. It was so different from when he asked Eon earlier. Of course, not everyone would notice this. But Phyllis heard the shift in his voice. “Yes. Besides, it's an inconvenience to everyone if Apollo doesn't have a plus one. You guys would have to wait for their plus one. Since Aster's my friend, why don't I help him out?” she explained. He nodded

“Alright! Let's start today's challenge with a classic game!” "In this beautiful and romantic garden, we've hidden a few eggs all around the place!” “You need to find more eggs to accumulate more points!” he continued. “The points will depend on the color of the egg. If it's red, then it would be for 10 points; yellow for 8 points; green for 6 points; blue for 4 points; and purple for 2 points.” “That's an easy egg hunt challenge, Alex!” an idol shouted. Alex, the host, chuckled. His lips curled as he slowly shook his head. “It would be an easy challenge if the challenge was just about collecting eggs, right?” “Is it not?” “Of course not! You're in my show!” he said before erupting into laughter. “In order for all the points to be valid, you should be able to solve each question inside the eggs!” he added. “We filled every egg with questions about math, science, and politics—actually, everything under the sun! They're filled with all kinds of questions, so I'm sure you'
Married Life With My Superstar Idol Chapter 39: Tied
“Eon! We're just talking about something... it's about grown-up stuff.” she tried to reason. She doesn’t want to give out more details because they're currently playing against each other. "Auntie, are you discussing real-world problems with Uncle Aster?” Aster burst into laughter upon hearing Eon's innocent remarks. While Zacharias and Eon just stared at Phyllis, both waiting for her answer. She sighed. “It's just about our microphone clips.” Eon went up and hugged Phyllis, who was crouching, still upset that he had to fight his aunt. "Auntie..." "I miss you..." "Let's not fight, okay?" Phyllis heard the slight hesitation in his voice. It was clear that he was having a hard time processing everything. He was prepared to play with other idols, but not with her. She understood that he was upset because he did not want to play against her. For a competitive kid like Eon, winning is everything. Even at a young age, he wanted to be challenged. Perhaps it stemmed from the way

“Okay, since challenges are supposed to be hard, let me give you guys a time limit for answering the questions.” “First, we have Apollo's red egg. Let's open it, shall we?” Alex opened the egg and pulled a red piece of paper out. He carefully unrolled it to read the question inside. “This is a physics question! Are you ready, Apollo?” “Yes!” the team shouted vigorously. “Okay! Give four examples of forces!” “You have a minute to answer,” he added. Ashton put on a serious face and thought about the question. “Gravity, right?” “Yeah, and what else?” Jameson replied. Phyllis observed the team for a while. She was idle for the entire time that they were answering the questions. Most of the questions were answered by the boys. So far, she hasn't been able to help them out with gathering points. And she's now feeling like a burden to the team. She shyly raised her right hand. “Uhm… I have an answer for that question. So, can I–” Ashton heaved a sigh of relief. He passed the m
Married Life With My Superstar Idol Chapter 41: Secret Wife
“Okay, girl, open up. I'm not going to bite,” the girl from the other side gently said. Phyllis was hesitant at first, but she realized that she cannot stay inside for so long since she also has Eon waiting for her outside. She nervously unlocked the door, fearing the girl who was talking to her. But when she saw her warm and friendly smile, her guards immediately went down. “Wifey?!” she thought aloud. Surprised that she blurted out her fangirl thoughts, she quickly covered her mouth in embarrassment. “Hey, don't hide! I know that you're my fan, so it's alright.” “You know?” Katie slowly nodded her head. “Of course! You're present at every fan meeting. How can I not know you?” Phyllis blushed. Katie was her ultimate girl group bias. Besides being a talented rapper and dancer, she was also a kind idol who interacts with her fans a lot. It's no wonder that she is familiar with Phyllis. Katie clung her arms onto Phyllis' and pulled her closer. “Not gonna lie, I thought I w
Married Life With My Superstar Idol Chapter 42: Act
Phyllis went out of the ladies' room feeling dazed. She was spacing out and completely out of it. Katie, her ultimate girl group idol, knows her secret. And she did not know how to react to it. As far as she knows, the people who attended their wedding are their family's closest friends. Aside from Zacharias' co-members and manager, no one else from their industry attended the event. 'Is it Ryder? Did he tell her?' She couldn't digest the idea that the stoic Ryder would divulge this sensitive information nonchalantly. “Lis?” her best friend called her out. Her mind wandered off so much that she did not notice her best friend that she was talking to over a video call. She hurriedly composed herself in front of Rui. Though she may look normal to the people around her right now, her smallest actions won't escape Rui's observation. “Auntie is just tired, mommy.” Eon reasoned on behalf of Phyllis. Rui's brows slightly arched as she looked at her suspicious friend curiousl
Married Life With My Superstar Idol Chapter 43: Step 2
Nervousness instantly turned to annoyance. Aria was still sitting on the chair while holding Leslie's sleeves. Her eyes look reddish and moist as if she's about to cry any minute now. Leslie is leaning close to the table to get a clear look at Phyllis' facial expressions. Phyllis shook her iced coffee again before sipping on it. She leaned back on her chair with a bored look on her face. Earlier she was feeling kind of nervous since she knew that these two might try to do something to her just because of her relationship with Zacharias. And it turns out that she's right, which she finds annoying. She treats everyone on the set politely because she respects them. She has a huge respect for the shining industry that she grew up watching. Though she can't join it, she still does her best to support it. It's just Aria and Leslie are openly showing their dislike of her. And she can't do anything about it. 'They were not my faves, to begin with. Who cares if I show some attitude
Married Life With My Superstar Idol Chapter 44: Last Man Standing
All of the guests gathered at the hotel's beachfront around 3 p.m. in their swimwear. They were all given free time to swim and wander around the beach. As for Eon and Phyllis, they were just sitting on the beach making sand castles. They were just told to do whatever and someone would be filming them. And so the two just focused on doing their own thing. Zacharias and his group were trying out the banana boat. While the other groups were busy doing their own thing. After an hour of free time, they were now asked to gather with their groups. “Hi again,” she greeted her teammates after parting from Eon. Ashton waved at her. “Did you enjoy making sandcastles with Eon?” “I did. Eon liked it too! We even buried his uncle!” “Oh, really?! Zacharias allowed you guys to bury him?” Hendrick asked while giggling. “He did not! Ryder had to hold him down!” “Oh, if Zacharias has to be held down, Aster screamed his lungs out to beg us to stop!” “What the–why?” “We parasailed ea

Zacharias remembered the moment when his childhood playmate, Phyllis, developed a fear of blood because of an incident when they were young. After that incident, he limited his visits to her as she was attending therapy. He felt guilty for what happened to her. If they did not play in their house on that day, then perhaps, none of it would have happened. Now that 15 years have passed since that incident, the memories still remain vivid. But thankfully, it's only him that remembered, not Phyllis. Seated comfortably in a coffee shop in East City, he sipped his coffee as he waited for Hill, his online friend that he impulsively invited for a coffee. 'He said he'll wear the Grand Monster hoodie that we bought online…' He looked around and saw no one who wore the same hoodie that he was wearing. Cling-ring! The sound of the door chime ringing prompted Zacharias to look at the entrance. There he saw a person wearing the Grand Monster hoodie. But… That person is not someone who

On a sunny day in the Lohr family's mansion, two little kids were playing in the garden. Zacharias was happily playing with the three years old Phyllis, who was the daughter of the family next door. “Aiash, hide and sheek! Hide and sheek!” The little Phyllis yelled as she ran around the garden with Zacharias chasing behind her. “I'm coming to get you!” he teased as he grabbed her arms. Phyllis playfully giggled as she shook her arms away from Zacharias. “Hahaha! No more tag! Hide and sheek now!” she requested from her playmate. “Okay, okay. Let's rest first.” He then led her to lean against the tree. “Aiash, let's play more games when Lian gets home!” CRASH! The loud sound startled the little girl which prompted her to hold onto Zacharias' shirt. “Aiash, Aiash,” she nervously gripped his shirt. “WINSTON I HATE YOU!” CRASH! CRASH! “Stop it Victoria! Zach will hear you!” Screams from the inside of the house can be heard from the garden. Zacharias, who was so us
Married Life With My Superstar Idol Chapter 104: Heartfelt Confession
“You…” her voice quivered as her hands started to loosen her grip on the handle.She lightly opened the door, enough for him to enter. But because of her fear of confrontation, she still hid behind the door. Her eyes were shut, still nervous about meeting him again after how many days. She knows it’s him. She knows him by his voice. She knows him by his scent. She knows him by heart. THUMPTHUMPTHUMPHis clean scent smelled like home is getting stronger. ‘He’s near…’‘He’s here…’Her heart thumped violently as the excitement, happiness, guilt, fear, sadness, and anxiety fill her in. She felt everything all at once. But it did not feel suffocating for her. Rather, she felt so comfortable, like she was in her safest place.“I’m here now,” he whispered as he pulled her into his arms. ‘I… I’m home…’She gripped his shirt tightly as she guiltily shed tears. “I’m sorry…”“I’m sorry for leaving, Aias… I’m sorry…” she said in between her cries. Zacharias hugged her tightly and said

“Phyllis, where are you?! Your husband went here and told us what happened! Why did you suddenly leave?!” The moment that Phyllis settled in her hotel room, the loud voice of her mom reached her ears. “Mom, calm down…” “Calm down?! You did not tell us that you're going out of the country and you expect me to calm down?! You did not even answer all of my calls earlier! We were so worried!” “Zacharias told me you wanted to get away from the press and we understand that… But you have to at least inform us so we can make necessary arrangements for you!” Phyllis held her phone tightly as she braced herself for her mother's scolding. “Mom…” “You're not a teenager anymore, you're an adult! You don't have to tell us everything that you do but you have to at least not make us worry!” Phyllis sat at the edge of the bed and quietly listened to her mom speak. She did not have the heart to respond to her, especially if she knows that she was in the wrong. “Phyllis, I know you're stres
Married Life With My Superstar Idol Chapter 102: Self-Sabotage
"Sir, we've already cleared them off.” Zacharias peeked through the window to see if there were still some people from the press. They were quite easy to spot. They're usually wearing face masks and caps with huge cameras in tow. Seeing that there was none, he turned to Phyllis, who was busy packing his stuff. “Good. Please get the car ready, we're going down now,” he said on the phone. He then tucked his phone inside his pocket and approached Phyllis. “Is there anything else we need to pack, babe?” Phyllis just shook her head and said, “Nope, I got it, babe.” Just as she was about to head out while carrying the tote bag, she was hugged by Zacharias from her back. His strong arms embraced her dainty shoulders and whispered, “I miss you…” Phyllis, who was still not over with the commotion from earlier, dismissed him with a tap on his arms. “Don't be ridiculous, we're literally together. How can you miss me?” He inched his body closer to hers, letting her feel the warmth of
Married Life With My Superstar Idol Chapter 101: Scoop
With all the controversy about the Klein family, they were completely mobbed by reporters, trying to get a statement from them. In just a matter of two days, the kind-hearted mayor disappeared from the public. Soon after the various documents that were reported, another video went viral. It was a video of Mayor Klein mocking the poor victims of a fire that destroyed a small neighborhood in the city. The area was small and a little cramped and so firetrucks had a hard time killing the fire until it ate the majority of the houses. In the video, the mayor was smiling to the public and promised to help them as much as he can as he helped with the distribution of basic necessities like food and clothing. But the next clip showed him mocking the victims because they were dirtying his beautiful city. His statement instantly gained critics. His image as the kind and caring mayor of Lieren City was crushed in a matter of seconds. No one likes a politician who looks down on his people. “

A large amount of Rohypnol content was found in his lab results. And contrary to what Phyllis suspected, the drug was not laced in the microchip but on the needle itself. Zacharias woke up after three long hours and is currently resting. He's just waiting for the drug to leave his body. The microchip was also taken out of his arm per his request and Phyllis' insistence. “Babe, please stop crying… The chip is already taken out…” Zacharias consoled Phyllis, who was sitting beside his bed. She has been taking care of him earnestly and has not taken a good sleep since the incident. He gently patted her back to comfort her. “I'm sorry… I'm so so sorry… We were researching microchips, babe…” “Hick—and the person who made that was a colleague of mine… If only I did not introduce this technology to him,” she said in between her sobs. She felt incredibly guilty about what happened to Zacharias. “Babe, it's not your fault. It's all on Tiffany who orchestrated all this, okay? It'

The ambulance rushed to the hospital with the unconscious Zacharias, Phyllis, and Leila cramped inside. Now that Phyllis got Zacharias to safety, everything that went down earlier started to finally sink in. When she attacked the bulky man with her heels, it did not cross her mind that some of the blood would squirt on her face. Her hands started to tremble at the sight of blood on her cheeks. She then tapped Leila and murmured in her shaking voice, “Blood…” Noticing the few streaks of blood on Phyllis' face, she hurriedly wiped them off with her blouse. “Shh, it's gone now…” She held Phyllis' hands and gently massaged them. “Okay, breathe with me…” “Inhale…” “Exhale…” “Inhale…” “Exhale…” Leila guided Phyllis with her breathing exercise. Rui taught everyone in their circle how to properly assist Phyllis in case she was triggered. Physical manifestations such as trembling, trouble breathing, and fainting were seen when Phyllis was last triggered. They continued with the bre
Married Life With My Superstar Idol Chapter 98: Unconscious
A loud thud resounded inside the men's comfort room as Zacharias fell to the floor. His consciousness slowly faded as he tried to reach out for his phone in his pocket. Soon after, a small red light blinked from his right arm. A girl inside a luxurious hotel room tapped the screen on her tablet, revealing a location in Dixon City. “Hurry and bring him up,” she said on the phone. “Got it, miss.” Satisfied with the turn of events, she took a good sip of her pink moscato. “I'll have to thank Auntie Vic for revealing the group's location for tonight.” She giggled as she browsed Phyllis' Ninstagram account. The simple photos posted made Tiffany sneer. She hated Phyllis' perfect life. She despised how Phyllis was cherished by her rich family. She envied how she was surrounded by a successful group of friends. She detested how she excelled academically and in her work. Above all, she hated how she got her crush just because she was his childhood friend. After getting humiliated
