Theo’s pov.
My eyes widened out in shock.
Aysel and Helene?
My mind drifted back to the ward..
“Thank you!”I exclaimed before ending the call and running back to the ward.
I opened the door and barged in.
They both snapped their heads up at me.
“Helene.. Aysel..”tears glistened my eyes as I moved slowly towards them.
“Do you know him?”Aysel turns to Helene.
“T… Theo?”Helene pronounced slowly.
She looks flabbergasted.
I ran to where they were and embraced them.
“I miss you guys so much. Where have you been?”I sobbed.
“It’s… it’s really… you’re the one.. Theo!”Helene looked me in the eyes lovingly.
“Theo… I… Theo…”tears fell off her eyes and she slowly raised her hand up to my cheek.
Her hands quivers against my skin.
“Theo…. I’m sorry.”she cried.
“I should have looked for you. I’m… I’m sorry..”
“Theo?”Aysel called.
I stared at her.
“You’re… you’re… Theo.. my brother..”she pouted in tears.
“Theo..”she pushed Helene gently to the side, hugging me to herself.
“I have a brother…”she sniffed.
“I miss you a lot…”I rubbed her hair.

A Month Later.
….
Mara’s pov.
I watched as Adrian dressed up for his concert while sitting on the bed just behind him.
“Do you wanna tag along?”he spun around.
“I’m good.”I shook my head.
He gave a nod.
“It would be really nice to have you around tho.”he turns back to the mirror.
I just gave a shrug.
“You sure you don’t want to come with me?”he suddenly threw his head back at me.
“Very sure.”I rolled my eyes.
“Why?”he scoffed.
“Isn’t it obvious?. it’s not as if I will be singing along with you on the stage. Besides, I will only be a distraction. Tonight is for your fans, so I shouldn’t meddle in that.”
He scoffed again.
“Ad, you?, what are you?, my anti – fan?. Who said you would be a distraction to me, huh?”he looks hurt.
I stood up and went to meet him.
“I’m your biggest fan. It’s just that…”
“Just what?. Why can’t you just come?. You won’t be a distraction.. you would be an inspiration instead. It.. it would be sooo nice to have you just in front of me while performing?, as my biggest fan.”he touched my neck.
I sighed.
“I.. don’t really feel like going anywhere tonight. I just wanna stay at home and oh, I could watch your live performance on the internet..”I beamed.
He hissed softly before grabbing his phone from the table.
“I owe you one.”he pecked my right cheek and walks out of the room.
“What?! Are we keeping grudges now??”I shouted after him.
I smirked after he was gone and grabbed my phone.
I dialed Diana’s number and she picked up almost immediately.
“You ready?.”I asked with a grin.
*
John’s pov.
“Oh, come on. Don’t be a crybaby. Must I really follow you?. I mean, what do you want me there for?. Oh, yeah, I will not be of any help if I go with you. Just go into the night and enjoy your concert.”I said to John.
He bit his lower lip while frowning at me.
“Can’t you just pretend to be supportive?. After a long hiatus, I am finally going to record a comeback concert, why…”
I placed a finger on his mouth.
“Don’t say that, babe. Okay, okay, fine.. I will watch you live… how about that?”
He scoffed and took his lips in.
“Di.. Diana, how can you be so mean?..”he breathes like he had no more to breathe.
I took my phone to check the time.
“Oh, it’s almost time. You should get going. You don’t wanna leave your fans waiting.”I winked.
He pressed his angry stare on me before dashing out of the room.
“I will see you later!”I yelled after him.
As I was about to go to my contacts list to give Mara a call, her call came right in.
I swiped to the right and placed the phone on my ear and moved to my wardrobe.
“You ready?”she asks.
“Just about to get dressed. You?”
“Same. Let’s meet by the hall’s gate.”
“Sure!”
★★
I went out of the house, dressed in a skimpy skirt and a crop top.
My hair was packed in a ponytail.
“Where are you going, ma’am?”a guard asked.
“Somewhere you don’t wanna know.”I smiles.
“We will…”
“Oh, please. I can go by myself. I don’t need any protection.”I stopped him.
“But we were told not to ever let you out alone.”he said.
“Who said that?”I stopped walking and glanced at him.
“Your husband.”
“And, who am I?”
“His wife.”he responded.
“Who do you think he would listen to between you and I?”
“You.”he blurted.
I sighed and smiled out.
“So, I will go on my own.”I stated and began walking to the garage.
“But we have to protect you.. we can’t.. let you go out alone. That was the instruction given to us.”he ran after me.
Eisshhh.. this guy is sure consistent, isn’t he?
I hopped inside the car and started the engine.
“Go start the car,”he said to the others.
“I don’t wanna see a slightest trail behind me… you will get fired if I ever see you at my back.”I warned before driving out of the compound.
★★
I stopped in front of the gate and met Mara there already.
I stepped out of my car and moved to where she was standing beside her Lamborghini.
She was putting on a bum short and a crop top also.
We both have our face caps on.
“You’re here!”her face lits up in smiles when she saw me.
“Let’s go purchase some lights. We should drive in first.”I grinned.
**
We all held out our lights, waving it happily in the air.
The hall was full to the brim.
“This feels so good!”Mara yelled out.
The place was pretty noisy so she had to do that for me hear her words.
“You bet it!”I yelled back.
The light came on and both of them stepped out.
We all screamed happily.
*I love you John!!!*someone yelled behind me.
“Adrian… my babyyy….”another shouts.
I and Mara exchanged looks.
“My baby!”we chorused with a giggle and turned back to the stage.
###
After their performance, the hall was brought down with screams..
*Oh my!!!!! Adrian be mine!!!!!!*someone shouts out.
Mara turned back and scoffed.
“He is already mine tho. Should we tell them?”she hollered at me with a chuckle.
“Oh, fucking yeah!”I nodded.
“He is mine!!!!!!!!!!”we both screamed out our lungs.
###
“Let’s do this some other time… this is so much fun..”I breathed out at Mara as we dispersed out of the hall with other people.
“Sure. Wait! They must be heading home now. We should hurry…”she took my wrist and ran out with me.
“Oh, I’m dead should he get home before me. He would be fucking mad if he finds out i didn’t go out with any guards….”
**
Adrian’s pov.
I headed back home after the concert ended.
I got home but found no Mara.
What?
“Where is my wife?”I asked the guards.
“Oh, she.. went out just after you left.”they answered.
“Wth no guards?!”I lost it.
###
John’s pov.
Ah.
I’m so tried..
I unbuttoned my shirt and gave a nod to the guards’s nervous greetings.
I walked inside the house and went upstairs to the room.
I opened the door and..
Huh?, where did she go?
I scoured my eyes around the room but didn’t get any whiff of her.
I went down to the kitchen, searched the whole rooms and still couldn’t find her.
I stormed out.
“Where is Diana?”I questioned.
They gulped hard and a scoff escape from my lips.
“I just asked you where my wife is..”I thundered.
“She.. she stepped out..”one stammered.
“Where?, did she take any guards with her?”
They shook their heads slowly.
“What?!!!!!”I fired.
“What the hell do you mean?, I told you to fucking protect her!!!!! Not to ever let her off alone!!!!!”
“We tried to.. to… follow her but she said she..”
“If anything happens to her, you’re all dead.”I rushed back inside and took my phone.
I started dialing her number but she isn’t picking.
I blinked rapidly.
Please, pick up.
My heart raced in panic.
The call got disconnected by itself when she wasn’t picking up.
I dialed her number again while mooching around the room.
**
Mara’s pov.
I honked the car and the gate immediately went opened.
What?
Have they been waiting for me?
I drove inside and spotted Adrian’s car.
Oh my God!!
He is here..
Geez…
I got down from the car and found him going inside the house.
Oh, no.
I hastened my steps after him.
“Adrian..”I called as he ascended the stairs.
He didn’t stop nor respond.
He went into the room and I went to stand behind him.
“I’m.. I’m sorry. I..”
“Where were you?”he demanded without looking back at me.
“I… I…”
God. What do I say?
Should i just tell him I went to his concert?
He slowly turned to look at me.
“Where were you, Mara.”
I fidgeted with the hem of my top.
“Dressed like that, with no guards.”he breathed out.
I looked up at him.
“I.. I… so, I went…”I stopped and breathed out.
He peered his eyes down at me, waiting for me to complete my statement.
I shut my eyes and said,
“I went to your concert.”
I waited for his reply but got none.
I opened my eyes to find him staring at me.
“You don’t believe?. We could call Diana and confirm.. we went together.”I explained.
He sighed.
Then, he chuckles.
Huh?, is that funny?
“You had that planned out with Diana?”
“Of course, I swear.. I..”
“Next time, take some guards with you.”he pulled me in a hug.
“You believe me, right?”I asked.
“Hm. I do.”he nods.
He broke the hug and stared into my face.
“I love you.”he said.
My heart skipped a beat.
What?
I bent my head.
“I said I love you.”he lifted my chin up.
“What?, you don’t know that I do?”he sent his long stare into my eyes.
“I… do..”I sent my eyes to the floor, shyly.
“Then, you don’t believe I could I tell you that?”
He is right.
He has been treating me like a gem all this while. But, I just.. can’t believe he could actually tell me that..
Geez.
I bet my face are all red now.
His hand came around my waist, on my bare skin.
He drops his head on my neck, pressing his lips against my skin.
“I love you..”he says while finding a spot to kiss on my neck.
“I love you.”he kissed my cheeks.
“And, I love you.”he said into my face before taking my lips in his, slowly.
**
Diana’s pov.
Everywhere was in tumult when I drove inside the mansion.
No doubt, John is already back.
I went inside the house and took the stairs up, heading to our room.
I opened the door and his face popped up immediately.
Oh, my God.
He looks like a total mess right now.
His eyes are too red to be real. Has he be crying?
He turns his face away and sniffs.
He spun around and I grabbed his hand.
“I can explain. I can explain.”I said.
He scoffed.
“Explain what exactly?. Why you went out without any guards?, where you went to?”
I sighed.
“I… was.. at..”
He removed my hand away from his.
I went to stand in front of him and saw tears rolled out from his eyes.
Holy moly.
“I was at your concert. Believe me, I swear. I was there with Mara. I could give her a call for you to confirm.”I panted.
“You.. you know how dangerous it is out there. Do you know how miserable I will be should anything bad happens to you?”he breathed out heavily.
“I’m sorry.. I’m so sorry. Alright, I won’t do that again.. I promise to always go out with guards..”I hugged his body.
“If you get hurt, I.. I will.. I won’t be fine..”
I could hear the thumping of his heart.
“I’m sorry, hun?… really sorry..”I disengaged from the hug.
“Forget it.”he wiped his tears away.
“Just don’t ever do this again. You got me worried sick about you.”
“I’m.. sorry..”I pleaded. I was close to tears also.
This is the first time I am seeing him crying.
He moves to the table and brought out a box from the cupboard.
He proferred it to me.
I collected it from him slowly.
“Open it.”
I opened it and…
My eyes widened.
The box contains a red bra and a red pant.
“Have a romantic night…. together.. with me.”
My cheeks instantly turns crimson.
###
Helen’s pov.
My stiletto heels clutched tightly to the floor as if its life depends on it as I headed towards my office.
“Ma’am!”the manager suddenly appeared in front of me.
“Oh, you nearly gave me an heart attack.”I touched my chest.
“We have a problem. A customer has been complaining non stop and he requests for you. He said he has something so disturbing to tell you.”she explained.
I scoffed.
What’s up with these rude customers tho?
“Okay?. Where is he?”I inquired.
“In your office.”
“What?, why?!”
“We tried to stop him from going in but the guy is just too adamant.”
I balled my hand in a fist and stormed towards my office.
I yanked the door open just to find everywhere decorated and…
“Helene, will you marry me?”
To my utmost surprise, I found Jayden there on his knee with a ring box.
“Are… are you the…”
“Yes, I am. I have to complain to you about my disturbing feelings. My heart disturbs me to put a ring on your finger also.”he smiled.
“Awwnnnn.. say yes! Say yes!”the workers trooped out of nowhere.
“Say yes!”Ayel and Theo yelled out.
I covered my face and bursted into tears of joy.
“Yes. Yes!”
The End.
