CHAPTER 61

"H-How did you-""It doesn't matter how I found out, Irene." Papa still has a bad way of looking at me. "Could you please answer my question? Why did you buy your Aunt Gretchen's salon? You have no any backgrounds of running a salon... so why?"With him, interrogating me like that makes me feel so frustrated. I want to answer Papa but if I do that, I will end up being swayed by my emotions... I might not be able to put a filter on my mouth which might lead my words disrespecting him."She must be grateful to me that I do that, yet," I pointed out. "Because I bought her salon, she paid off the debt. She actually gained benefits because I purchased her salon. What's wrong with that?""But you know that's important to your Aunt Gretchen, right? You can just lend her money. What's the use of purchasing it? Can you use it-""Okay, fine!" I couldn't handle my anger anymore, so I raised my tone at my father. "I only want her to suffer. I want to make her life miserable, just how my life was

CHAPTER 62

"Corrine, are you okay?"I blinked my eyes twice, at the same time I unconsciously grabbed both of my cheeks due to their excessive heat.When I heard Israel started talking, that's when I came back to my vision. His eyes are curious as a cat, looking damn curious as to why I'm staring at him as hell...OMG! All I thought was that Israel cut short my sentence because of a fucking kiss—but ends up that scene only made by my crazy imagination."O-Of course, I'm okay!" I spluttered and bit my lips. Looking down, I saw his hands on my left arm... and blushed.I'm so busy dealing with that crazy thought that I was informed just now that he's touching me. I immediately moved away from Israel. I didn't even say goodbye to the two of them, I just left that place immediately with shame.What the hell was that?! First, I imagined myself kissing him... and then second, I saw myself blushing? Is he starting to sway me... again? Am I starting to fall for him... for the second time around?Because

CHAPTER 63

"Of course, I'm very excited for the upcoming concert. Eli surprised me when he said that I would also perform at his concert. I'm not expecting it, though. I fully thought that I'll just sit and watch him.""You've attended my concerts for three consecutive times being my audience. What's wrong if I change the setup this time?" Eli talked so defensively towards me, I couldn't help but laugh at the way he looked now that he disapproved so much of what I said."Hey, I'm just explaining my reaction, okay? Why are you like that?" I pushed his shoulder using mine to some degree while laughing.He's a living joke. I really laughed at him, eh."This is the only thing I'm sure I can share with you..." After I poked fun at him, he then shifted the topic, reading another viewer's comment on our live stream. "You have a lot to look forward to at my concert. There are new faces that you will see perform, besides Corrine. That's why I'm calling out to those fans who are not yet buying their own t

CHAPTER 64

"Death threat? Do you know who it's from?" sputtered Dylan, now stopping himself from drinking root beer.Everyone in the cottage just reacted as a bombshell, still unbelievable that there are still people doing that kind of thing. In the showbiz industry, it is not new for actors to receive death threats. Just like Eli, receiving one from the unknown, but this is quite alarming."We are investigating who it may have come from." Eli looked so frustrated as he brushed his hair upright. "For my safety, I need to cancel my concert that was about to happen 2 days from now." He heaved a sigh."Everything will be fine, Eli. "Why don't you continue with your concert, disregarding the fact that you received a death threat... your life will be in danger," Julia muttered. "You will have to catch that person first before continuing your offline concert, I'm sure your fans will understand the situation.""Once I announced the cancellation of the concert in public, it's scary that some fans might

CHAPTER 65

"I know how to cook, Harris! Let me cook, okay? I promise, I will not disappoint you!""Don't you have confidence in Magi and I's abilities? We admit that our talent is not for the kitchen, but just this time, give it to us. I promise, you will faint from the taste of what we will cook!" Julia persuaded the two to let them cook the dishes."It's Harris's chicken curry specialty, let us make that. Magi and I will enjoy it better, see.""Thank you, you two get out of here! I don't have diatabs in my pocket to fight diarrhea and stomach ache!""You're underestimating our cooking talent, Harris! You're hurting my feelings, you're terrible!" Magi persisted"Just join Alec and Warren in the living room and watch TV. Wait for us to finish cooking, when we can eat together," said Yuwi.He was busy mixing fried rice in the pan, shaking the pan like professional chefs do."You bastards!" Julia grumbled and the two of you went to the living room.'Julia complains a lot... like a child throwing t

CHAPTER 66

While I was helping Yuwi wash the food, I could hear the noise coming from the living room from the kitchen. They were all there, busy playing.I could even see from here that Alec, Magi and Warren were playing video games. And the others are on the floor, playing cards. I would really like to join in. Apart from the fact that Yuwi and I haven't finished playing here yet, I also don't know anything about what they are playing.I have no idea how to play any kind of video games, as well as playing different types of cards, or anything.It was just me... childhood was so boring. Maybe another factor why I say my childhood was boring is because I didn't have a brother. I didn't play so I grew up not knowing any games."I'll take care of wiping it. Join them there," I ordered Yuwi while I was busy wiping the plates with a dry and clean rag."It's embarrassing for you. You're an artist and I'll just let you do the housework."I giggled. "Being an artist is not an excuse for me not to cook,

CHAPTER 67

"I'm very, very sorry for all the fans that I will disappoint with this urgent update. My agency has decided to cancel my upcoming concert that will happen exactly on Christmas day. Just the day after yesterday, while I was on a one -day vacation, my manager received a present that we both didn't know where it came from... and with a bang, it's a death threat from a mysterious person. Further investigation is happening right now, and for my safety also, the concert should be canceled for now.""My greatest apology to those fans who are expecting to see me on Christmas."Eli's face shows sadness as I watch him on TV. He's in the middle of a press conference to announce the most heartbreaking news on National TV today... the cancellation of his concert.Just before we left La Union yesterday morning, he was restless because he was so afraid and nervous about what he was going to announce today. That's why the sadness traces on his face doesn't give me any single concern, 'cause I alread

CHAPTER 68

"Omo, omo," Julia hissed in between wincing her head. “When did it all happen, Magi? Why do we have no idea, huh? We didn't even notice you moan—wait!”Julia's eyes suddenly narrowed. "You're not destroyed? Does that mean… you're short on Dylan?!”I just laughed and shook my head at Julia. Even though I'm not in Magi's shoes right now, I'm the one who is ashamed and embarrassed by Julia's words. Discussing that sensitive topic is really such a huge turn off. It's uncomfortable to talk about that, like you're going to talk about what happened 'that night'---no! That thing should really always be kept private."You should know better, Julia. You are Dylan's sister. You should be the first one to see his armor right before my turn,” Magi replied, still optimistic while staring at the object she was still clasping… that pregnancy test."We're not going to force you about telling us when and where did you guys do that miracle thing inside your womb—""I'm interested, Corrine," Julia interr

CHAPTER 69

Shock if shock. The things I witnessed were simply unbelievable. Never did I think that Israel would have a monster mother like Gretchen. No way!"Mom, what brought you here?" I saw Israel come closer to where the two devils are standing.I just looked at them, still hiding my wrath to show. Stacy, on the other hand, is forcing herself to resist the blade of my gaze on their mother and daughter. He even managed to grin at me. This is what I really hate about her, well... Stacy's smile is really annoying. She's been winning to tease me effortlessly just by smirking."We just want to drop this." And I saw that Gretchen had reached some kind of role in Israel.I just chose to stop looking at them and listen to what they were talking about. I won't get anything, I'll just waste my time with that mother and daughter.I hate to admit it but... yes, I was really surprised by what I found out. It's so surprising to know about Israel's relationship with someone I hate the most. With so many th

CHAPTER 70

Because of the news I found out, I rushed to the studio just to make sure that what Theo was telling me was true. It's not like I'm not believing my manager, but the news itself is unbelievable.I'm just pretending. I don't see any single potential in Stacy. She can't act so, where did she get the courage to enter showbiz? And what fool let him in?"So, it's true?"When I got to the conference room, I caught up with the other cast of my upcoming drama, including Echo, who will be my leading man in the drama... and Stacy is with them."I'm not expecting to have another co-star?"As soon as I get back to my composure, I try not to let the tone of my voice show that I don't like Stacy's presence. There's no way they could find out my connection to that trash."Good thing that you've finally arrived, Corrine," said the TV director and led me to a seat. "Kim, the supposed actress to be the antagonist, just backed out from participating in the drama. We cannot proceed filming it if the cast
