Audrey's POV

My mind was occupied with two things, Kyle and What's exactly is happening at the Administrative building??

Immediately it was lunch break, I rushed out of the class and ran to the Administratives building - To the Principal's office. To meet my mom and to know what's going on.
Someone was following me behind and I know it's no other person but Simon.

I almost got to the Principal's Office when I saw Vivian.
Vivian?!

"Vivian? What are you doing here? " I asked her :- Shocked, confused and surprised.
She came closer to me and Simon excused us..
He stayed aside and let we the girls talk.

Her face was kind of swollen, red eyes and already dried tears.
"To help in getting Gary arrested" She said.

Oh.. So My mom was so serious about this.

"And it worked. I had a secret conversation with your mom. Seriously, she's the kind of mother I wish I had, she spoke to me, she told me what she was up to and I was highly in support of it. She invited me here. Then the police came and asked me few questions about whatever Gary has done to me. I told them he raped me" She said.
"What? but he actually did raped me. I was so foolish that I got intimate with him after what he did to me, I was very foolish that instead of reporting him to the police, I did it with him over and over again and turned him into my money making machine. I didn't know I was literally destroying my life" She said and fought back her tears.
"Anyways, they got Gary arrested atlas today. Thanks to your mom and his Dad" She sniffed, referring to Simon's Dad. Mr Anderson.

"Okay.. Are you sure you're fine? " I asked after noticing her pale look.

"Yes, I am. Just.. I'm just drowned with regret and bitterness" She said and began to whimper softly.
I walked closer to her and embraced her. I disengaged when I felt her warm tears dropping on my back.

"Stop crying. It's alright now" I told her.

"I should be Excited right? Yeah, happy that the pedophile has been finally arrested and that I was fortunate enough to meet Mr Wealthy and he's ready to sponsor my unfurthered education and he also promised to help my little sister" She told me.

"He is?? " I exclaimed.

"Audrey, I'm scared" She began to cry afresh.
Is there something I don't know?

"But wh..why? " I asked her.

"I.. I've done the AidsTest, what if the result turns out to be Po.... .."

"Told ya we'll win the case" Mr Anderson and my mom came out of the office.

"See you later Audrey. By the way, your school is very beautiful" Vivian said, forcing out a smile.

Now, what's with both of them..
My Mom and Mr Wealthy. Is it just Mr Gary's case?

"Daddy! " Simon called.

They stopped chattering and looked up then saw us.
I bided Vivian bye and walked steadily to meet my mom.

"Mom"

"Oh Audrey, sorry I did all this without letting you know about it. I wanted to tell you but you weren't ready to listen and you won't even listen" She said.
Oops that was the time I was sucking Kyle started to ignore me

"No Mom, I mean.. Do you know Mr Wealthy or.. Was it this case that made you know him? " I asked her.

"Is she the Audrey? " Mr Anderson looked at me and my mom nodded.
"You look so much like your mother" Mr Anderson said as he glared at me.

"But there's no way this is working out for us and for them" My mom said. I don't understand.

"What do you mean? " Simon and I asked at the same time.

"No.. Listen Kathleen" Mr Wealthy said to my mom.

"No way! " My Mom shook her head.

"What is it? " I asked her.
"We need to talk at home Audrey. Harry talk to your son also" My mom said ...then she stumbled out ..I rushed after her.. when we were few distance away from Simon and his father.
She said; "We need to talk at home. But stay away from Simon, he is no good for you"

Elena's POV
I came down from my car immediately my Driver pulled the brake and packed the car at the Car lot.
I was surprised to see a great change in the familiar environment, new big cars were packed at the car lot, ribbons were tied here and there, colourful sparkling lights.
There were armed men on black and spectacles standing in front of my house.

"What's going on?" I asked myself.

"Mademoiselle Elena, Welcome back from school" Daine, my French maid came and said to me.
She collected my backpack from me too.

"Daine, what's going on?" I asked her as we walked to the house together, It was few metres away from the Car.lot.

"Dharc is here, Sir.Daniel is here" She announced.

"Uncle Danny is already here? " I exclaimed.

"Yes! "

I ran as fast as my leg could carry me into the house, leaving the young maid behind.

*
"Uncle Danny!" I jumped on his back before he could even think of looking up to see who called him by his name.

"Princess Elena! " He said and hugged me affectionately.

"How did you know that he has arrived, it's yet to be all over the internet that he's here in Wearous" My Dad said..

"Yeah, I intentionally didn't want the whole world to know yet" Uncle Danny said.

"Oh well, I know you're coming here today but I didn't know it would be this so soon besides Lady Daine told me at the Car-lot. Well, well and well.. It doesn't really matter. All that matters is that the most famous voice of a Bird is my favorite uncle and he's right here. Oh! I miss you" I pecked his cheeks excitedly and he kissed my fore-head.

"Now I see you deserve the paintings and decorations indeed Bcos you are not just an Uncle to me, You are the everything, almost everyone looks up to" I added making him feel flattered..

"Ok Elena, would you let him have his seat now if at all, you would love to remain standing" My Dad said and I giggled.

"Yeah, sure. Sit up and feel over comfortable. You deserve everything" I teased and he sat down and I sat next to him, very close to him.

"You're coming to my concert" He said.

"Sure. Why would I ever miss it? " 8 said.

"Anyways, I don't care if she goes. I'm not coming " My Dad said offering me a tray of Muffins.
Yeah, the maids should have served me theirselves but I guess they were not allowed in here.

"Who cares!!"
"There won't even be 5% of the old cargoes! " My uncle retorted at my Dad and I chuckled.

"Whatever. Just so you know you would surely become one - one day" My Dad said.

"Of course I will but a classic one"

"Yeah, he'll become Granny-Dharc with the killer voice everyone would still die-hard for even in his old age" I added.

"You got it girl " My uncle said and we laughed and had an high five.

"Seriously, there's no difference between the two of you. I'm leaving you both" My Dad said already leaving.

I shoved in two muffins into my mouth and a muffin into my ever-cute uncle's mouth.

"How is High School? " He asked me.

"Well... " I wanted to speak.

"Oh, that's sorta question. High school is fun. It's nothing less than having fun after classes, walk with friends, have several crushes, hang out with a boyfriend or boyfriends.." He said.

"You are Naughty! I don't think it applies to we the girls, only the guys do hang-out with Girlfriends" I emphasising the S in Girlfriends.

"That doesn't mean the girls don't do it. They do" He said laughing.

"Count me out of it and focus on your multiple girlfriends; Helen, Alice, Rose, Charley.. " I mentioned remembering the names of those girls he dated before he went into music.

"Oh no, Stop it " He said laughing controllably and I laughed too.

"Uncle " I called softly in a way that I had something to say to him.

"What's it dear? " He asked

"Did you successfully became a music by luck? " I asked him.

"What a question, why are you asking? "

"Please just answer" I spoke in a serious tone.

"Anyways Luck is part of it. I went for a two weeks competition last three months only for teenagers with the singing talent. Luckily for me, I got promoted till I completed the levels and steps and here I am now" He concluded smiling but I rolled my eyes.

"Why that?? " He asked me.

"Well whatever it is, can the steps and levels be skipped? "

"What are you saying? Do you ever want to sing?" He asked.

"No, I love musics but No! I want to help a friend " I said and he kinda disengaged from me and looked at me.
"He sings melodiously just like you. He's talented but there's no way he can go about it. Can you please help him quickly and easily? " I requested.

"There's a way he could go about it. Oh Good, the afresh competition registration has started already. All he has to do is to be part of the contestants and when he is.... "

I interrupted him..
"That's why I said 'Quickly and easily'. I don't want him to go through the stress of registration, levels... What if something happens by mistake and he couldn't complete the levels and at the end of the day, he wasn't picked" I said.

"Elena. You've gotten a boyfriend! " Uncle Dharc said instead and I gave a eye roll again.
"Yes, you made use of the Pronoun He, and it's all over your face that you would do anything to assist him as fast as possible" He said.

"Are you gonna help him? Are you gonna help me? It's easy, you're now famous and successful and you must have met with other and higher successful singers that can... "

"Listen Elena, it's not as easy as you think it is. I'm still a New Famous singer to do stuffs like that. All he has to do is to go through the normal proper process. I'm sorry Elena. I can't help" He said and I frowned.

A man on black uniform all through came in and walked majestically towards us. I could tell he's one of his men.

"Sir.Dharc, The videos and of your arrival at the airport already got leaked. It's all over the internet now" The man said to him with his head bowed.

"Shit! " My uncle exclaimed.

"What is it? " I asked him.

"Everyone already know that I'm in Wearous now and that means I gotta leave and lodge into the celebrities motel. See you at my contract at night" He stood up.

"You are leaving already? "

"Uh yeah, whata funny life of a celebrity" He said and I smiled a bit.

My uncle is a celebrity, at least he got little tune for his people and he never turned his back at us.
Would Kyle be the same when he becomes one?

"Tell Dad that I left like a flash. And about your crush or boyfriend, persuade him to try SING. I'm sure you know I won't hesitate to help if I can. So bye now, it's four, the concert would start by seven" He said and embraced me before leaving with the man in black.
