Chapter 47

' You are really lucky Tae Seo is around. Oh, my I shouldn't have let you come over, you always spoil my reputation when others get to know I have such an ugly sis."
' Hey!! That's because I was unfortunate to come as your ugly twin."
' Guys…guys, please we have to get this dude before he realizes his account has been hacked and that he's going to get busted." Tae Words brought us back to focus on the bigger issue at hand.
' Then what are we waiting for? Let's get going." Gianna stated as she stood up and pulled me by the ear and asked me to hurry and dress up. She excused us and waited for us outside our room as we dressed up and later joined her.
' Wear your cap, it's getting brighter outside…I wouldn't want them throwing stuffs at you and saying disgusting stuffs about you either." Gianna said to me as she helped me wore my cap and covered it with the hoodie's cover as well.
Tae Seo led the way and ushered us to his car and we drove off to the building.
' We're here." He said as he pulled over a few meters away from the building.
'From the information I got…he's on the third floor. We need to hurry before it's too late ' Tae Seo said.
' I'll call the police and have them come here." Gianna said as she brought out her phone and dialed 911.
Tae Seo and I headed for the guy's room and upon our arrival, Tae Seo disguised himself as a delivery man after he wore one of their company's cap from his bag. He already had the T-shirt on, so he was technically disguised as a delivery man. He rang the doorbell for the first time but then no reply, the second time still no reply and then on when he was about to ring it the second time the door swung open and a young man walked out.
' What's your problem?"
' I'm sorry, but did you order for some boxes of T- shirts?" Tae Seo asked.
' No... Oh yeah, it was me."
How could he fall for it so easily, he was about to say no but then when he saw how Tae Seo looked like a lost delivery man he said he was the one.
'Can you sign here." Tae Seo said to him as he brought out a book but then when he was about to sign it I got out of my hiding place and pushed him into the room.
' What…what is going on here?" He shouted.
' I looked up and took a close look at him and the room. He had pictures of me all over the walls and even had some of me with him. It gave me the creepiest shiver down my spine.
'Oh my God…" Gianna said with surprise the moment she stepped foot into the room.
The dude tried to free himself from Tae Seo's grip but then he pinned him to the floor.
' The police are on their way." Gianna said to us and I smiled.
' Police? Please don't let them in here… I can't go to jail, I'm too young
I…I am sorry, I didn't mean to do what I did. I … I was just joking around." The dude apologized, and I looked at him.
' You were just joking around? You've got to be kidding me. After sending my brother all those threats and posting those pictures on the internet which can ruin his life for good you are here telling us you were just joking around." Gianna said with rage but then I held her hand.
' I… I will delete everything, and I promise you will never hear from me again. I promise… Please don't let the police arrest me." He pleased but then it was too late, the police had already arrived.
They saw everything on his computer and I was shocked when I realized I wasn't the first person he had done this to. The media came in and took pictures of his room and everything.
FEW DAYS LATER
The pictures were deleted from the internet and the truth came out about it being photo shopped and a lot of people went through the same thing in his hands.
How can someone live such a life?
For those so-called fans of mine who were thrashing me, I won't say anything…I'll just be picky this time around. All they care about is the news they get on the media. Actually, Gianna and Tae Seo got really close after that incident.
' Hmmm, I can't believe someone was able to do that to my baby." Sandra said as she fed me with a tablespoon of mushroom porridge.
' The world is full of all kinds of people, being famous doesn't come that easily, it brings to life all the things you fear. I nearly lost my sponsors. I owe a big thanks to Tae Seo." I replied.
' You mean Gianna's new bestie?" Zoe asked and I nodded.
' Here have some bread." She added feeding me with a slice of bread.
' That's all that he knows, being pampered." Gianna said with a funny expression as she passed by.
' Where are you headed to?" I asked, and she paused.
' Waylon asked me to come over."
' To their lounge?" I asked, and she nodded.
'Just kidding. I'll be back soon." She replied with a grin.
' Be careful ugly duckling!"
' Take care Goblin!" She said and walked out of the room.
I was actually in their room, not their dormitory. Zoe had a small beach house near the sea. The school is actually close to the sea if you have no idea about it. She got the beach house some few days ago, the day after that post went viral.
The door suddenly swung open and we heard it slam, we looked towards the door and it was Gianna, she was gasping for breath.
' Gianna…what's wrong?" Sandra asked rushing to her side.
She was sweating and was out of breath that she just laid flat on the floor.
' I thought you were going to meet Waylon, why are you back so early and gasping for breath?" I asked as she gulped down the water Zoe handed over to her.
'I …I… I'm in big trouble." She said stammering a little.
' What did you do this time around?" I asked walking towards her. She stood up from the floor and sat in front of the door, supporting her hand with her knee.
' I was on my way to meet Waylon when I saw a lizard, those lizards that have that snake-like color, you know how much I get scared when I see one…so it was climbing up the tree I was going to pass under so I decided to throw a stone to scare it away but then…."
' Then?"
' Then when I tried to throw the stone at it, I missed and then it ended up smashing someone's car glass…" She said with a very terrified expression. She was shaking so much that I was scared.
'Which of the glass?" I asked.
' The back part…the glass at the back." She replied.
' And did the person see you?" I asked, and she nodded.
' You wouldn't believe the owner of the car is." She said with a very sorrowful look.
' So, who's the owner?" we asked with a chorus. ' Princeian… I'm so done for!!" She cried. ' You sure are…"
..........
.......IAN....
Upon reaching the beach, I parked my car beneath one of those threes closer to the beach with less beach sand around.
I just wanted to release some stress and enjoy the sea breeze. I brought my phone and sat on one of those lazy chairs near the sea shore, plugged my earphones into my ears and enjoyed some music while enjoying the cool sea breeze.
I was startled when I heard the noise of a car glass getting smashed. With my heart racing so fast, I only turned and saw the back glass of my car smashed to pieces and a few meters away from it stood Gianna, she had her palm covering her mouth as she shivered.
She turned and as soon as our eyes met…she ran off with so much speed that I thought she might collapse the moment she stopped running.
I got closer to the car and it was bad, really bad, the glass was badly broken, and the pieces were in the back seat with some spreading on the floor.
I chuckled as I watched her ran off, actually Zoe's new beach house was closer to the beach. I watched from the distance as I watched her rushed into one of the rooms without even looking back.
This is a chance to get her in my claws and have her begging. There's only one way for me to torture her to my satisfaction.
I pulled out my phone from my side pocket and dialed in Zoe's number and called her.
' He...hel...helloian…"
' Zoe-ah, how are you doing?"
'I'm good and your ca…I mean yourself?"
' I'm good it's just that I've got someone smashing my car glass and running off."
' Oh…that…what happened?"
' I have no idea but then kindly tell your friend that I'm taking money to go fix the car's broken glass."
' Huh?"
'Yeah, she has till 3pm this noon to decide whether she's gonna pay or find another way to pay back. I won't be accepting any apology no matter who it is. Have a nice day sweet heart."
'ian-ah…"
' Don't worry, she already owe me one for me been stood up by her at the ball and now my car's glass. Please let her know, thank you for passing on the information."
I hanged up with a smirk on my face. This is going to be real fun.
' Who were you talking to?" I heard a voice from a distant away from me…it was Aurora.
' A sweet heart of mine." I replied walked back to my lazy chair.
We been engaged doesn't necessarily mean she should be taking along wherever I go.
About the engagement, I know it was out of the blues but then both parents from both sides already agreed to it and my view wasn't that important you know.
'For the betterment of the kingdom." They will say whenever I tried to decline. Waylon,axel Jun and Zoe weren't happy about it but then the decision had already been made and being the crowned Prince comes along with huge responsibilities.
Always think about your subjects first , let their interests come before yours and all these stuffs.
They drive me nuts sometimes but then it's my duty and I can't just walk away too.
Aurora has been clinging to me after it was announced, we've been to various photoshoots together, being models for bridal fashion agencies and a lot of things. We are on the cover of almost every magazine. It can be frustrating sometimes.
I made Aurora go ahead as I waited behind and called Zoe to let that trouble maker to come.
I leaned against the side mirror when I saw her coming with her head lowered, she approached me and greeted politely. Can she be this polite? It's true that some circumstances can bring out some unexpected actions from people.
'Umm… I'm truly sorry for what happened this morning, I didn't mean to do that on purpose. The stone wasn't even meant for your car." She explained, and I just stared at her.
' I'm really sorry for the trouble, I heard what you told Zoe, so I came to get the cost for fixing the damage I caused." She added, and I handed a sheet of paper to her and she went through.
' Five hundred thousand dollars?" she asked with shock.
' What…is it a golden branded car or something?"
she asked looking up at me with a frown.
' it's the latest Rolls-Royce wraith and it's the new model…you destroyed the back glass…take a look at the mark the stone left on the boot as well." I said pointing to a coiled scratch.
' It wasn't intentional."
' How well can you prove it? First of all, who decided to blast me for just asking her 'why be so careless" and who also stood me up at the ball!"
'Oh, did it really hurt your pride when you got stood up by me?"
'Nonsense! Of course not…don't try to change the subject young lady."
'You were the one who changed it in the first place."
'Hey! Are you going to pay for the damage or not?" She bit her lower lip thoughtfully and then turned
to me.
' See…if I decide to pay for the damages…when you sell me out, it wouldn't even be enough, it's going to take me years before I'm able to pay for the damage." She replied.
' Then let's reach an agreement." 'Huh?"
'Yeah I said let's reach an agreement." ' And what's that agreement of yours?"
'Here sign this contract." I said stretching forth my hand and handing over some papers to her.
' A hundred days contract?" She asked after going through.
' Exactly…so it's either you sign it, or you pay for the damages."
' I can't sign this. I'd rather pay for the damages. I think we're done here so I'll take my leave then."
She said turning to leave.
'Then you have until today's week to pay for the damages. I hope we have a deal Ms. Gianna."
'What… today's week?" 'Exactly."
'It wasn't even intentional."
'Who knows if it was indeed intentional. Besides everyone knows that you hold a grudge against me."
' Fine… I'll pay you back within a week!" She said and walked away.
I smirked as I saw her march towards the beach house, with both arms crossed against my chest…I smirked at myself.
Oh my, I'm gonna get her exactly where I want her.
'How could you do that!" Waylon's voice welcomed me immediately I got to the living room.
'What did I do?" I asked him, and he chuckled.
'How can you ask her to get you five hundred thousand dollars within a week to fix the damages to your car?"
