Chapter 24: Manager Duke
With a big smile on her face, he stared at her tenderly, “what would you like to have as a pet, Diana?” he asked.
She thought for some time “I would like to keep a dog” she responded, the two of them started walking from the lake, and arrived at their car.
Regan turned to her “Diana, if you don't want your sister engagement ring party to go through, I have a plan” he reiterated.
Diana pursed her lips tightly, “what are we going to do then? She will be having the party tomorrow” she asked and reminded him.
Regan responded with a mischievous smile and ignited the car engine, the both of them drove away, “I will tell you what I have planned the moment they get home” he informed her.
Diana slept off before he arrived home, he carried her in his arms, she was smiling while sleeping, Regan chuckled while staring at her peaceful face.
He lay her on the bed, and covered her properly, he stared at her face for some time, loving her gentle her chest heaves, and cute she is while sleeping.
The next morning, the both of them decided to buy many things, preparing for her sister's engagement party.
They arrived at a high -end store brand in the City, the moment they are dome shopping, the two of them came out, and saw a mini crowd.
Wondering what it was all about, they started raising different papers, and a chant followed.
“Stop cheating on Danesky” her fans protested, Regan wasn't surprise, but Diana was, she doesn't have a direct contact with her fans, her manager managed everything for her, even her social media account.
Regan quickly sneaked away, cloaking the two of them, the both of them sat in the car, staring at the protesting crowd “I think this isn't going to stop anytime soon” Regan commented, and chuckled.
Diana was in a conflict within herself, “I guess so, I don't know who is doing all these” she said softly, pursing her lips tightly while thinking.
Regan nodded and admires her sense of seeing through a hoax, “you shouldn't worry about that, but I can't promise they won't be violent” he told her.
Diana nodded, and drove away, they came to an eatery in another street, after they got in, coming out, they saw a mini crowd, gathered, with many placards.
Regan shield Diana behind her “heartbreak!”
“Playboy!”
They called him so many names, while trying to hurl tomatoes at him, Regan struggled to Diana out of there unharmed.
When they got into the car, he was oozing like a tomato, and his outfit was stained, Diana began to worry over the situation.
“I don't think it's safe for us to go out now, let's just go home” Regan said, Regan shook his head, with a big smile
“I have an idea for us to find out who was behind all these” he whispered to her, her eyes widened with realization, she nodded in agreement.
Regan drove towards another brand store, but, this one was one with two exit and entrance, the moment he got in, a bald short man came out of his head.
He started mobilizing some hoodlums from the streets, he gave them a crate of eggs, to throw them at Regan and Diana.
He didn't realize the two people he was preparing for, were already in their car watching at him, with a satisfying smile, he turned around, and decided to leave the premises quickly, before anyone suspect.
While he was briskly walking towards his car, that he parked some meters away from where he wanted to do the dirty job.
He saw the man he was planning to ridicule coming towards him, with a cold facial expression, sending chills down his spine.
His arms trembled in fear, and quickly looked at the picture he was holding, trying to confuse, if it isn't hallucination “well, manager Duke, don't you at least pretend to know me?” Regan taunted.
Regaining his senses, the manager knew Regan isn't there for discussion, he turned around and wanted to run “I will call the cops, don't come any closer” he screamed attracting attention.
He turned around and wanted to run, but he froze on his footstep when he saw that Diana was approaching him from the other side, looking very upset.
He became unsettling, “Mistress Diana, I wasn't expecting the lady of the house to be out here without your security details” he said with a smile.
Diana brushed his words aside and glares at him strongly “well, I know whom I needed protection against for, who contract you for doing all these? Is Olivier?” she asked him.
The three of them standing in the open street talking raised eyebrows, Manager Duke started laughing awkwardly
“Of course not, you are having a wrong idea, I was paying them to make you change your mind to return to the set, without you, I have no job” he said.
He blinked his eyes, and it became watery, Regan lips curled up when he saw the move that he was making to made Diana have sympathy on him.
Regan stepped forward and cloaked the three of them, he knocked him out, and took him along, when he woke up, he was on the cold floor in a big room.
His eyes widened in shock, he wasn't expecting that no one knew about the assault kidnap “touch me,
and you both will end in jail, many will be calling the police, and the police will be everywhere searching for me” he boasted.
Diana somewhat worried about his statement, but Regan was unperturbed “release me, I will put in good words for the both of you, you two are quite young and tend to make decisions driven by emotions” he stated shamelessly.
Regan shrugged “nobody knows you are here, and well, there is no case of kidnapping filed in the City police because there was none” Regan pointed out, he was in shock after learning of it.
