Chapter 41

With each passing minute, the beach was flooded with people. The security can't handle that several people, so I decided to rebook the date somewhere else. I don't want to start a stampede or jeopardize everyone's safety.



Ron was even cool with it. He was fine with all of my decisions, and he simply let the boat go where it wanted to go. It was me the boat, by the way.



I didn't even look at my phone. I know there are many people trying to talk to me, but I don't want to face it just yet. It could be good or bad, but it's my choice. It was entirely my decision.


Ron is driving the car, and I'm holding my phone and staring silently in front of us. We're going to a coffee shop, and I chose a coffee that isn't well-known or popular, away from people and the media.


The beach is beautiful, and I wanted to enjoy and relax there, but I can't. Exposing wasn't a good idea, and it was too late for me to reflect.



"Aren't you going to open your phone?" Ron asked. “Check their messages, especially your manager," he joked. I think he taught that my manager would be in distress right now because of this. I think there’s nothing to worry when in fact we are not into the romantic stage. And, I'll accept whatever the outcome is.


I shook my head and looked out the window at the scenery.


“I’ll check it once I’m home.”


We didn’t stay long. I can show up calm and composed, but I'm just a human with the blood of fear to my manager.


When I looked in the mirror, I noticed my bodyguards following Ron's car.

The car stopped, and I noticed that we are already home. I was confused when Ron began picking something behind him.

My lips formed a smile with his thoughtfulness and his gentleness.


It was a flower. It’s a sunflower and it’s not my favorite but I appreciate it.


"I left it and forgot to bring it because I was so excited," he said, making his cheeks blushed, so adorably.


“Thank you. I loved it.” I said genuinely. Ron moved closer, and I didn’t know why I froze and stopped. It was my turned to feel my cheeks reddened as his lips landed on my forehead. He offers me a decent smile, and his action is not making me feel disrespected or strange. He was like the second version of my brother.

“Thank you. I enjoyed a lot.” That was the last message before the car slowly ran back.


I went inside the building and opened my phone. As expected everyone were calling me, and I missed all their calls.


My feet stopped walking as I read the messages to the men I don’t want to talk.



It was Hayes and Kairus. I know their message is about what they’ve seen in that beach. Ron and I looked so sweet because we forgot to notice that there are people watching us there.



I read Hayes message first.


“I thought you don’t have a boyfriend but why are you seeing someone else? I know that I’m not handsome and rich but I will work hard for you.’

I frowned. He thinks that he owns me as well. He is vocal about it but I don’t pay attention to it because I feel like if I did, he would do something weird or even scandalize.


I’ve been telling him that I have Hope’s heart but it doesn’t mean that I have her feelings.


I was even confused if I will open Kairus text or not. It’s scary and deadly, and I still did.



“You are seen having a date. Was it true?”



I shook my head to his message. He already seen the pictures and clips, and still he wouldn’t believe it.


“Yes, I’m trying to know him more.” I replied.


My eyes moved quickly to my phone that fast as I received his quick reply.


“I stopped dating and knowing women the moment I met you.”


I stopped and stuck in the elevator.


“I’m jealous. I don’t have anything to support me but my heart is aching of jealousy right now. People seem to see your chemistry with that actor.”


I took a heavy sighed, and shook Kairus away to me.


Another message, and I’m already problematic.



“If I will become an actor, would your fans like me for you?”


I don’t know why I read it on my mind sadly. You’ve hurt me enough, Kai, and I don’t think my heart will be that courageous to welcome you.


I just turn my phone off. I don’t know what would be my response and I know that Kairus know that I read his message. I’m so confused and the same time feel a little heartbreak with rash decision.


I yawned, feeling all the pain just now. It’s already two in the afternoon, and I feel tired and exhausted.


I’m obligated to give my reasons and explanation to all the people closed to me but.


I will handle them tomorrow. For now-“I stopped, and my eyes widened to see Ramsey standing, crossing arms. Like e expected my arrival.


He has a strong aura, and even he crossed his arms, like a mother who just caught her daughter jumped to the window to go to bar.



“Where have you been?” He asked. I smile sheepishly. I thought I would face them including my manager tomorrow but he was excited to see me more.

I peeked behind, and my brother is sitting while watching in the tv.


“Did you eat, Mommy?” I asked, sweetly, trying to lure her. But she quickly, and jokingly dragged my hair.

“You almost gave me an heart attack!” She said, aloud.


“Go, discipline her!” I heard my brother yelled and supported my manager. “It doesn’t mean she’s already in legal age mean she won’t ask your advice.”


I rolled my eyes to my brother. Not even helping.


I looked at my manager. “I’m just having a bestfreind date.” I lied.


“Really?” He asked so shocked. “I know how you didn’t have a male bestfreind in showbiz. Don’t joke with me. Just be glad that the one you dated is a handsome guy and popular. At least no one hates you.” My manager said.



We know we can't please everyone, and I don't think we should be bothered by their destructive words. People may dislike or love us, but the important thing is that I did not date or meet someone who was already in a relationship.


My brother, Ramsey, and I are sitting on the couch. It felt like they were reuniting. Ramsey had forgotten about his madness towards me for not telling him about my moves. The unexpected news is good for us, but Ramsey doesn't want me to be seen with someone else, especially since I'm starting a new show. He wants to protect my reputation.


Night came and I thought that would be the end of Kairus messages. I'm not sure, but seeing an unknown number on my phone made my heart sing in trouble or not.



"I looked and checked into the guy you've been seeing this morning and noticed how much he flirted with girls. You've worked hard for your name and your success. Are you sure he's not tainting your name?’



No… it was you who will shatter my name again if you would continue this.
