“Oh! You are so pretty Madam!” said the gay man who was fixing me politely. Someone sent the teacher to fix me when he finished dressing me, I was really embarrassed because the teacher dressed me. I was like a child earlier when he was dressing me, I just refused but he still seemed to be happy. It’s a good thing I’m wearing a bra otherwise, he’ll see me in undies and a bra.
“Ah… hehe” I said shyly, I didn’t want to answer him with ‘I know, it’s been a long time’, it’s very rude and it’s like I’m arrogant.
“Mr. Dane is lucky for you Madam! I hope Akesh is good too!” The gay man said laughing, so I laughed too, even though I didn’t know what was funny about what he said. My teacher was lucky and I was unlucky, he always hurt me physically.
“That’s it madam! Gorabels!” said the gay man before putting away the make up he used on me and saying goodbye to leave. I don’t know why I’m nervous, maybe we’re just attending the event that’s going to happen so I shouldn’t be nervous.
“Sweetheart, the event is about to start” said the teacher as he opened the door. Because he came out earlier when the gay man came to fix me. I stood up and walked towards him, god! Why is my heart beating faster and faster? Why am I nervous?
“You look beautiful—- oh, I forgot. You are always beautiful” he told me then dragged me out of the room.
Corny.

“Thank you so much for attending this little event” greeted the MC who was on stage. We are in the garden of the hotel, it’s so spacious here and it makes me feel better. but it didn’t reduce my nervousness.
“Let us all welcome the Owner of this hotel, Mr. Dane!” said the MC and the people in the garden applauded at the same time. The owner of this hotel is a teacher, his job is not just being a teacher. but shouldn’t the teacher’s name be complete when the MC mentioned it?
“Thank you so much for coming here, I just want to announce to everyone that I already have the second Owner of my properties.
Respect her as you respect me. Treat her like she is your boss and lastly do not try to touch her. please stand up, Sweetheart.” when the teacher spoke on stage, he looked at me while he spoke. God! What is he saying?
Some guests started whispering and I think I knew what the question was going through their heads. will i stand up but I don’t want to be talked about by people here, but if I don’t stand up, the teacher might be embarrassed. F’ck! What kind of life is this!
“Stand up, sweetheart” said the teacher again while looking at me. I didn’t do anything but the next one. Remember summer! don’t spoil his mood! You might get hurt when you get home!
“She is my girlfriend. Summer Sylvester, my soon to be Mrs. Dane.” I felt like I was frozen by what I heard, I could hardly move and just smile. I heard the flash of the camera one after another and it looks like it will appear in the media, when the students at the school where I go to see it they might think something. They might say I flirted with our teacher. F’ck! What a shame!
“Come here, sweetheart” the teacher ordered and asked me to go up to the stage, which I did. I was next to the teacher who was smiling at me, I knew she was happy doing what she was doing.
“Huh?” I suddenly looked at the seat near the stage. I saw a woman smiling at me and when she noticed that I was staring at her, she suddenly disappeared like a bubble, Was she a Vampire? But how come?
Are you really a Vampire… Samantha?
“Sweetheart?” the teacher asked me while still holding the mic, so I looked at him and took the mic he was holding before speaking some platitudes and lies.
“H-hmm. Yeah, Im so lucky to have this guy beside me. He’s very sweet and kind to me he always takes care of me. treating me like Im his everything, I’m thankful that he came to my life. He is every girls ideal man. I can’t loose him. He is one of a kind, he is hard to find. and of course, I l-love him…” I almost made a mistake when I said the word ‘love’ I know lying is wrong but I don’t want to get hurt again when I go home. I have to be a good girl. I don’t know if the Lord will accept me in heaven, because everything I said was all lies and no truth.
“I love you too, sweetheart” he said before hugging me. This is so corny! Why do you need a hug? And actually in front of a lot of people! but i need to do something sweet so i hug him back. Of course the people in front of us were incredulous and even managed to clap, I even heard someone saying ‘Ohhh’ ‘They are so sweet!’
Not everything with proof is true. just like us, we just look sweet but the truth is not. And our proof that we love each other? That’s what we’re doing now. They believe too much in our show, maybe teacher likes me but Im not into him.
“Alright! You can see how much they love each other, right? Only once can you find someone like Mr. Dane is so hard to waste! Alas! Alas! Alas! A lot of people are jealous, including me!” the MC laughed but it wasn’t funny. Think what you wanted to think, people. if you find this romantic, oh you’ve been tricked! This is just a show! A fake one!
I was the first to break away from the teacher’s embrace, I knew that he knew that everything I said earlier was just a lie. I also know that we are doing hugs as props. Part of the show I guess. i don’t give a f’ck to those people who believe’s on what they see.
After the hug on stage, I left and returned to the seat where I was alone. even though I’m not on stage anymore I can feel the eyes looking at me, who wouldn’t look at me and I was the topic earlier.
“Omygod, Nice meeting you Ms. Sylvester. Soon to be Mrs. dane, Im Silvia Cortner” greeted a woman and extended her hand in front of me which I accepted.
“Nice meeting you too, Ms. Cortner” I gave her a small smile. Why did he approach me? We are not the same age to me, he looks 24-28 years old compared to me who is only 18.
“Hey, I just want to talk about you and Mr. Dane, I know you have a good relationship with him and… im just asking if you want to invest in my company, actually i already talked to your boyfriend about this but he rejected my request. So here I am asking if you want to invest since you are the second owner of his properties, you have the rights to his businesses. or Convince him to invest in my Company.” the woman explained at length. Will he use me to convince the teacher to invest in his company? Even if he takes my heart, I won’t convince the teacher. How lucky is he?
“Oh, sorry Mscortner but If my boyfriend rejects your request then I’ll do the same. Sometimes rejecting someone means he or she is not interested. So, you can go now.” I said to him with emphasis before he nodded and left. As for their brains, they won’t let me down.
started serving food and liquors. I got a little bored here so I just left and walked everywhere. No matter where I stumbled, I kept walking.
“Sweetheart, why are you here?” asked the teacher who suddenly appeared in front of me. I’m thirsty.
“I’m thirsty, get me something to drink” I ordered. I should be in charge now. It’s always him. I’m tired of following him, and he just tries to lecture me. I will leave him.
“Here, drink this” he said as he handed me the wine glass. but the flesh is not wine but blood. I’m not a Vampire! Why would he make me drink it?
“Aa!” I moaned when he cut my wrist with a sharp object. Blood dripped on my wrist but it didn’t drip on what we were stepping on because that wine glass goes with the flesh, darn! what entered his brain and took my pulse? And he really put it in!
“Now, drink this. Its my blood and yours. If you won’t drink this, Im going to kill you—” I didn’t answer him when I heard the word ‘kill’ and immediately grabbed the wine glass holding it. I answered you quickly. I almost threw up because I didn’t like the taste of it, plus it was very thick. Disgusting.
“Good girl, sweetheart” he said and quickly approached me to kiss me on the lips even though there was blood scattered from what I drank.
Argh! Disgusting!
