“Have a good night, Ryan. With a warm smile on her face, Madam Elise said to Ryan. I guess we were leaving then. We walked out of the venue, and Ryan called his chauffeur to drive the car over. We went, and I was silent for a while, as I was not ready to step on a land mine. But after a minute, I got tired of the silence, and I could not help but speak. “You know you did not have to overreact back there; now all my new friends would be stiff around me.” I sighed. I would be lucky if Amber and Rita did not go back to being reserved around me. “They are not your friends, Eliza; no freakin' body in that hall is your friend,” he said, which shocked me to silence. "Oh,” I breathed out after a while. “You have to understand that you are Mrs. Blaqk, my wife, and that carries a lot of weight. The way you carry yourself is the way others would treat you. The reason that foolish lady spoke to you like that was because of your demeanor," he snapped, and I can’t lie, I was hurt by his state

Alex was not going to be free at all for the rest of the month. But I was too sad to dwell on it, as it was the death anniversary of both my parents. I planned on spending the entire day at their grave, so I had the cook prepare my breakfast and lunch and put them in a picnic basket. On every death anniversary of my parents, I always made sure to visit them; that was the only time of the year I actually gathered enough courage to be able to face their graves once again. I would sweep their graves and adorn them with flowers with a bitter smile on my face. After that, I would sit there in silence for the entire day. I did not put any thought into my clothing choice; I just put on a simple shirt and sweatpants, and I did not forget to take my sunglasses with me. I came out of Ryan’s room, all ready to go, and went downstairs. I went to the kitchen to collect the picnic basket, but I was shocked when I saw Ryan sitting on the couch in the living room, looking up to the ceiling. It was

Putting Lisa’s outburst at the back of my mind, I sat in silence as Ryan drove us home. When we got home, Ryan immediately went upstairs, and I stood there at a loss for what to do. I slowly walked towards the basement. I made sure to turn on the lights before I came down. I did want to be part of any statistics. Once I was down, I immediately made a beeline for the vintage piano sitting in the corner. I found my solace, apart from Ryan. I sat on the chair and ran my hand through the keys of the piano, enjoying the feeling on my fingers. I started playing my mother's favourite music and sang with a heavy heart. ‘Sun bleeds gold through willow leaves, painting shadows on the stream. Whispers dance in the velvet breeze; secrets only fireflies can redeem. Stars ignite like fallen dreams, scattered diamonds on the night. In this hush, where silence gleams, I find solace, bathed in light. Slowly, I got lost in the rhythm, and I unconsciously kept on playing and singing. Once I wa

Charlotte happily dropped me and drove away, leaving me alone to face a bunch of angry contestants. Seeing me, the assistant director immediately led me towards where all the other contestants were standing. “You are late, Miss Greene,” he said with a monotone voice, and I sighed. I was pretty sure they had already made up their minds that I was a spoiled rich brat. He led me into the house, and sure enough, it was pretty big, but of course not as big as Ryan’s house. They had already started filming once you arrived, so we made sure to avoid the filming area. The host was introducing the judges to the online audience. We walked towards the dining room, where the other contestants were waiting to be called on to introduce themselves. As I walked in, they all turned to look at me, and I saw a hint of recognition in some of their faces. “Just wait here when it is your turn; someone will come get you,” he said. He did not even wait for me to reply befo

"Okay, one after the other, each contestant would step forward and pick a card, which would decide which group they would be in,” the host explained to the online audience, and he was indirectly talking to the contestants as well.Very quick Contestant number one had already picked her number; she was in group five.Immediately after they identified their groups, they tried finding their group members. It was finally my turn, and there was only one card left as I was the last person to pick.My expression almost turned livid when I saw that I was in group four, which was Sharon’s group, Sharon of all people.With reluctance, I walked towards where Sharon and my other team members were standing; luckily, Riele was also in the same group as me.Seeing me approaching them, I saw a fleeting look of anger in Sharon’s eyes, but I chose to ignore her.“Now that you've all gotten to know your group members, the judges have decided on your first challenge! Starting at 2:00 PM the day after tom

"Woo!” we all clapped as group one finished presenting dimmed lights by Loren Gray. They really sang the song well, except for that one contestant who ruined her part.Group two was called upon, then group three, and then it was finally our turn.“Now let’s give it up for group four,” the host said, and the judges applauded for us as we walked in.Immediately the instrumental started playing, and it was Sharon’s cue to sing. Unsurprisingly, Sharon had the most parts, even though she was not well versed in hip-hop.Our bodies moved to the sound of the rythm, and I could not help but feel myself in my black Jordans.Sharon stepped forward, as it was her turn to sing again.“Boombox symphony, pavement our stageSpittin' truth and fire, turning' doubt to rageWe got hunger in our eyes and fire in our souls.Words paintin' landscapes, stories taking hold,” she sang as her body flexibly moved her body with the rythm and her feet vibed to the music. I could not deny the fact that Sharon

What was Ryan doing here, the fact that he actually wanted to risk being seen with me, not that he actually cared. It was his crazy ass stepmother that kept on sending me non-ending text, saying that I was disrespecting the Blaqk family name by contesting in such a show, but I have learned to ignore her messages. Trying my best to be discrete, I tiptoed down the stairs, trying my best to evade the workers in the house. I was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief once I made it to the garage through the kitchen. I walked behind cars, and I had no problem locating Ryan’s car, as it was the most expensive-looking car. Without thinking, I entered and made direct eye contact with him, and my breath got caught in my mouth. Gosh I would never get over how handsome Ryan was, but I would never admit it to him; it would only fuel his stupid ego. “Why did you come here without telling me, Ryan?” I asked, trying my best to look angry, even though I was inwardly excited. I wanted to throw

At exactly six a.m., I was woken up by Sharon with a large camera in my face. I quickly took my bath and made my way to the rehearsal room, where we started practicing the song. Sharon was going to sing some lines from the R&B song because that is what she is best at. We basically practiced for the entire day and only took a lunch break, then went for dinner before we went to sleep. We gathered at the usual location the next day for the third round. And just like in the last round, two groups would get eliminated. “Welcome back to the world's best singer, and today, just like the last round, is the meshup round, just with another song. We expect this round to be ten times better than the last. Good luck to the contestants,” the host said. After a few words of encouragement from the judges, group three came forward and sang to their hearts content. Then it was our turn. “Wonderful performance from group three; now let’s welcome group four,” the host said, and we filed in. “Jump i

“Thanks so much for choosing me back there, Shakira. I was really nervous,” I said to Shakira as she embraced her. “No need to thank me, love; from the moment I heard your voice, I knew I wanted to give you pointers on your song,” she said, and I smiled. It was evening, but the remaining contestants were still in their practice rooms with their coaches, including me. For now, Shakira was going to tell me about my weaknesses and my strongest points, which I should hold on to, as well as pointers for writing a song. “What type of lyrics do you write?” Shakira asked. "Slow and depressing,” I laughed, and she laughed along. “I get that; we want to wow the audience, so you have to make your voice a bit stronger when you are singing,” she said, and I nodded. I brought out an unfinished draft of the song I was writing and showed it to Shakira. “Wow, wonderful lyrics,” she said. She has to call in the keyboardist so that I can sing my song with an instrumental. I began singing, and t

Once our time limit was up, we came out, and Shakira went back to her judge seat while I went back to the waiting room. “That was quite an enjoyable show by one chance. Now that the judges and contestants are back, let’s invite Clarissa to the stage with Janine,” the host said, and of course, ‘applause’. "No, not too long ago, I was dancing for dollars. No, it’s really real if I let you meet my aunty.” Clarissa started out soft, but then she went into full Fleminnem mode. I never knew she was this talented. It was as if she had a whole tank as her lungs because she did not take a single breath of fresh air, and she kept on rapping. Janine sang her part, and it was wonderful, as expected. Once they were done, everyone cheered, including me. The host called in Nina with Anthony and did great, but I was looking forward to Sharon’s performance. And she did great, just as I expected. “Ghost town streets at 3 AM; silence hangs too heavy in the air. Every corner whispers your name;
