Rivals

This went on for thirty minutes, and Chloe's painted mouth was slackening. Just as he was about exploding in her mouth, the door was pushed open.

Pete whistled and pushed the door open. The sight before him wasn't something he'd ever dreamt of. He knew it was something that'll forever scar his innocent life. The bottled water in his hand had long been forgotten on the ground while he stared at the scene before him open-mouthed. Never in his wildest dream had he thought he'd witness such a scene. His brain buzzed as his eyes rolled backwards before he blacked out and fell to the ground.

Sebastian chuckled humorlessly before thrusting a few times and exploding with a loud grunt.

Chloe greedily swallowed his seed like it was the sweetest thing she'd ever tasted.

Then, Sebastian called the guards in and ordered them to attend to the unconscious Pete.

The head of his bodyguard chuckled as he stared at Pete. He knew the lad was just too young to withstand such sight. He shook his head as he remembered that the young man hadn't been warned about this before taking on the job. Furthermore, he had just been employed three days ago! Haha!

Nighttime came, Sebastian was unaware of the disaster he was about to face.

Meanwhile, in a rural area, a crowd was gathered around a group of people. Among the crowd, some were chanting different names, but the most heard name was 'Veronica!'.

Cameramen, the director, and editor all watched intensely as they stared at the figure who had a crown on her head. Her red flamy gown enhanced her pale skin, making her look like a vampire who was back from hunting.

“How could you! I gave you everything I had, what else did you want from me which you didn't get? But what did you do in the end? You betrayed me! All because of her!” the woman in the red flamy gown yelled while crying. The onlookers felt tears brew in their eyes. Although, it was just a movie, but they couldn't help but feel moved to tears.

Not far away from the crowd, a petite woman stared at this scene and her mouth twitched in amusement. If only the crowd knew about what was the real cause of her tears, then wouldn't be feeling so moved.

“No! Believe me, I love you. I did that just to protect you and our unborn child”, a young bloodied man who was on his knees cried as he clung unto the woman's clothes tightly. Beside him stood a haughty looking woman whose hands were placed on her waist, making her look like a tea cup. She was extravagantly dressed, and the big top she wore couldn't hide her bump. She glared at the crying figures with annoyance clearly seen in her eyes.

“Shut up, Darren! When you were sleeping with me day and night, you claimed to love me, and now you're saying the opposite!” she said in a shrill voice, making the onlookers cringe. Wasn't this too much for movie? They mumbled as they kept watching the scene.

“Well… Darren, I'm pleased to tell you that I'm not carrying your child and neither am I pregnant!” the woman in the red flamy gown and a crown on her head yelled before walking away.

As soon as she was out of the camera men's sight, the director yelled 'Cut!' and the crowd applauded the actor and actresses.

Meanwhile, the woman who had just walked away immediately ran towards the petite woman whose mouth had been twitching in amusement.

“Veronica, you deserve a Grammys award!” the petite woman exclaimed lowly as soon as she was within ear sight.

“Carole! Stop teasing me”, Veronica who was in the Red flamy gown, stumped her feet as she glared at Carole, her manager.

Just as Veronica said this, she felt a pull on her cloth. Veronica was scared witless, thinking it was an animal but when her eyes stares into a pair of big watery eyes, her words got stuck in her throat. The little girl who was pulling her cloth blinked her eyes cutely, refusing to utter any word.

Although the little girl was covered in dirt, Veronica didn't seem to mind and instead squatted to her level. She smiled as she handed a piece of Candy to the little girl, who joyfully hummed away, making Veronica chuckle.

They were both enjoying the atmosphere when the crowd that had been gathered began chanting her name;”Veronica Smith! Veronica Smith! Veronica Smith!” they chanted. There was no one among the crowd who didn't know Veronica Smith, the A-star list international actress that had fans around the world, an epitome of beauty and seductiveness, had her fair share of height, boobs, and a curvaceous hips and ass. Who didn't know the only daughter of Mr. Smith of Smith's Enterprise? No one knew behind that meek facade was someone who wanted to be let out! Veronica happened to be closer to her father cause her mother died in the incident that happened years back. Remembering such memories was a pure torture to Veronica. She forced back the tears in her eyes and wheeled herself to be stronger.

“Let's go to the dressing room before this place becomes more crowdy. I wonder how they can still love you not knowing you're the opposite of everything they think you are”, Carole grumbled, making Veronica snicker. She was aware of the troubles she had made her Manager and best friend, Carole, pass through. She was a handful.

Not only that, but she followed behind Carole after waving to the crowd a few times, which earned her a loud cheer.

In the dressing room, Carole and Veronica were washing the makeup Veronica had on. They had just taken their seats when the clanking of heels on the tiled floor was heard.

“Well…well…well, look who it is. Isn't this daddy's spoiled princess?” Veronica's long-term enemy and rival, Nicole West, said as she sized them up. Behind her were two of her minions who were just about to debut.

Veronica rolled her eyes and kept cleaning her make up, the same couldn't be said for Carole who was about to explode in anger.

“Well… well…well, look who it is. Isn't this the fatherless actress?” Carole fired back, making Veronica chuckle and Nicole gasp in shock and anger. She hadn't expected this comeback. It was no new thing to everyone that Nicole was dumped by her father after her mother passed away. Well, this was what she wanted everyone to believe, but no one knew the truth behind this.

“How dare you talk back at me? You're just a manager and what gives you the right?” Nicole yelled as she stomped her feet, her eyes shooting daggers at the chuckling Veronica. Her minions nodded behind her, their heads moving like a broken toy.

Hearing this, Veronica's mouth twitched as she rose to her feet. She could tolerate any form of abuse hauled at her, but not at her best friend whom she took as a sister. Slowly turning around, Veronica stood face to face with Nicole, her heels making her taller.

“What also gives you the right to talk to me in that manner?” Veronica smirked as she stared at Nicole with twinkling eyes.

Carole caught sight of this and immediately had a bad premonition. She knew that whatever Veronica was planning wasn't going to do anyone good. Trying to amend the situation as fast as she could, she brought up an excuse.

“Vero, do not bother with her. Remember, you still have to attend that banquet tonight, and you're not prepared”, Carole said as she pulled Veronica's sleeve.

Veronica frowned in confusion and turned to face Carole. She had no memory of attending a banquet tonight. Just as she was about to question Carole about the banquet, she realized the latter was glaring at her while blinking.

Veronica's mouth quirked in amusement. She had wanted to keep prolonging this matter like what happened the last time, but seeing that it was against Carole's wish, she grumpily dropped it.

“Let's go”, Veronica said before pulling Carole along with her. The latter calmly followed like a lost puppy.

“Yeah, just run away!” they heard Nicole yell, and they both rolled their eyes at her foolishness. They were clearly not in the mood to start another banter.

Unknown:

“Boss, we're currently tracking his movements. I was told he'd soon be out, so we can carry on with the initial plan. Boss, the position would soon be yours! Just sit down and watch”, a man in all black said through the pod in his ears.

“I hope you're able to succeed this time, Otherwise….you know what'll happen.”.
