Alyia's POV.
“Alyia is really a brat. Why don't she accept the apologies of Eli? She just believes that she's superior to Eli because she's popular.”
“What Alyia did was really perfect. Let Eli suffer from her own mistakes!”
“Alyia, the queen. She really has a good heart except for those people that deserves to have a nice treatment. I salute you, Miss Vega!”
I scrolled up and down, saw so many words about me. I don't know how but there's a video of us. Me and Eli. It was a video of how Eli apologized to me and how I rejected her.
I reached for a bottle of water on my side table and drank from it.
“See? The people really admires you.”
Mommy Iya is here at my condo. She insisted to be with me this weekend and I don't know why.
“I don't really care, Mommy. I just did what I think she deserves.”, I answered and shrugged.
“Darling, keep doing those. Your popularity will really increase and I think you deserve that.”
I smiled at her sweetly and returns my gaze to my phone. I continued to scroll up and down.
The moment I got bored, I was about to turn off my phone but a tweet caught my attention.
“Mr. Alejandro Dario Vega's Suicide Case Is Not Really Suicide.”
It was an article about my dad. I was hesitant to click it but my curiosity is really pushing me to find out what's inside that article.
I stared at it for a couple of minutes.
My father died because of suicide. I'm sure. I saw it with my own eyes.
A thought of my father being killed didn’t pass by my mind. The case was suicide. After that, the case was closed immediately.
“Darling! I am cooking. What do you want for lunch? You have to hurry! You have a taping to attend to, right? Go get change. I will ready your lunch.”, that was Mommy Iya's voice.
I immediately stood up and went to my room.
* * *
“Let's go?”, asked Mommy Iya when she saw me walking down the stairs.
Wearing my white bralette, black cargo pants and black stilletos, I nodded at her.
“Here.”
My gaze went to her hand. She's handing me a aviator sunglasses.
I grabbed it and nodded.
“Let's go.”
The ride to the venue was fast. I ate my lunch at the car so I was full when we arrived.
I got off the car only to see people doing their individual job.
The set is really crowded.
I walk towards the director and greeted him.
“Oh, Alyia! Is it okay if you wait inside your dressing room? There was a sudden emergency that came up just now and we're fixing it. I'm sorry if we can't start on time.”, the director exclaimed when I greeted him.
“No. It's fine, really. Go and fix it. I'm fine here. I'll just take walk for a minute.”, I said and smiled sweetly to him.
“Do you want someone to accompany you? I'll call one of my staffs if you want.”
“No. I'm fine. Really. Thank you for the concern but you're busy, right? Just fix the emergency or whatever for us to be able to start.”
My sweet smile remained in my lips as he turned his back at me and started to do his job.
I toured my gaze all over the set. Mommy Iya was talking to someone so I can't interrupt her.
I decided to take a walk when I saw a garden, I went inside. Inhaled and exhaled the fresh air.
I didn't notice that I just closed my eyes. My mind took me to the memory that I really want to forget.
“Baby, your dad and you will be fine without me. Please, stop crying. Mommy will only rest but mommy will always be right here.”, she said in a very weak voice while pointing at my heart.
“Mommy, p-please don't leave me. Don't leave us. Daddy won't forgive me if I let you die. No. I don't want you to die.”
I was crying really loud. I wasn't a crybaby but seeing my mom like this made me cry so many tears.
“Sometimes, what we want is what we can't have. Keep dreaming, baby. I will always guide you. I love you.”
The moment mommy closed her eyes, thousands or even millions of tears escaped my eyes.
I was crying really hard when the door in this room opened. I saw dad getting inside.
“N-no. I'm late. Diana, wake up. Please, wake up.”, daddy immediately went to mommy who wasn’t opening her eyes.
I cried and cried along with daddy.
My gaze was with daddy when he suddenly pull out a gun from his pocket.
“D-daddy…”
“I promised your mommy that I will be with her 'til death do as part, baby. It's time to keep that promise.”
When daddy pointed the gun on her head, I closed my eyes. I heard a deafening voice of gunshot.
“Miss Alyia! The taping will start already! The director is looking for you.”
I opened my eyes and wiped the tears down my cheeks.
“Coming!”, I shouted and stood up.
* * *
“That was tiring, really.”, I sighed heavily and opened the bottle of water, drank and exhaled.
“You can take a nap here.”, it was Mommy Iya's voice.
We're already inside the car and headed to my condo.
I did what she said. I closed my eyes and snuggled at the back of the car.
I took a quick nap and was wakened up by loud voices.
I stared outside only to see cameras and people outside my condominium.
I looked at Mommy Iya and she was also shocked right now.
I raised my eye brows at her.
“What's with the media? Why are they here?”, I asked her.
“I don't know, darling.”
I rolled my eyes.
When we got inside the parking lot, there were group of people holding cameras that are waiting for us too.
The moment the car parked, they started to walk or even run towards us.
“Miss Vega, what can you say about the issue about your father?”
“Was it really true that you let that pass by just like that?”
“Is it true that you immediately closed the case for the media to not dig deeper?”
“Is it true that the suspect behind your dad's death is you?”
I got off the car and was welcomed by their questions. I wore my sunglasses and walked towards the entrance. Guards are around me but they are not enough to stop the media from touching me.
I just walked but suddenly nails started scratching my skin.
“Ouch!”, I exclaimed when that scratch deepened.
I walked faster but the scratches from whoever didn't stop.
When I got in my unit, I immediately looked at my hands that got bruises.
“Mygod! Darling, you've got scratches!”
I walked towards my room to get my first-aid kit.
“What was that, Mommy?”, I exclaimed while putting alcohol in my scratches.
“I clearly don't know, darling.”
I reached for the remote and turned on the tv.
“Alyia Lyra Vega, a model and a actress is involved in her Dad's death? She concealed her Dad's case for her image, is this true? We will be back after the advertisements.”
“That’s it! I'm getting you a personal bodyguard! The media will follow you wherever you go.”
I don't know what startles me. Being followed and questioned by the media or having a guy following me wherever I go?
I sighed.
Alyia's POV.After what happened there, Mommy Iya decided to start the interview for my bodyguard as soon as possible. She asked me to rest but my mind won't.The case about my father was been in my mind for hours. What if my father didn't really committed suicide? What if someone killed him? But that is impossible. I saw how he pointed the gun on his head. I saw how he fell to the ground holding the gun. I was staring at the glass of milk in front of me while thinking of those things. Later on, I decided to drink the glass of milk, change into pajamas, did my skin care and laid down my bed. “Mommy, why do you always stare at the sky?” “Hmm? Because the sky can always be a friend. You can always say to the universe all of your problems and it will always listen. When you feel like you don't have anyone to talk to, try to look at the sky. You'll be relaxed.”, she said while caressing my hair. My brows furrowed by what she said.“The sky can be a friend? How? It doesn’t even talk,
Alyia's POV.I woke up because of the sunrays hitting my face. I stood up and felt my head is aching so bad. I massaged the side of my head and wore my slippers. I went inside the bathroom and took a long bath. I brushed my teeth and went out from my bathroom.“Alyia, darling are you up already?”, it was Mommy Iya's voice while knocking. “Yes, Mommy. I'll just go get changed!”, I responded.“Okay. Take your time. Just go down stairs if you're ready.”, she said before I heard footsteps leaving. I sighed and starts to look for clothes. I walked in my walk in closet and grabbed a white slit sleeve top paired with a black pencil skirt and a pair of black d'orsay flats.I applied a very light makeup and when I was contented by how I look, I quickly walked downstairs. “Good Morning, darling. I bought you pasta for breakfast. The interview will only be held here in your condo since the media is so eager to hear your side, I concluded that the best place to held an interview is here. Is
Alyia's POV. I spent my rest day inside my condo. I didn’t want to show up at people. I'm sure that all of them are just going to stare at me until I melt. I rolled my eyes and turned off the television. When I stood up and took little steps to my room, I caught Cosmos staring at me.“Quit staring. It's weird.”, I said that made him turn his gaze to the television and back at me again.“What? It's 8 pm already. Aren’t you going home?”, I asked him.I saw him turn his attention to the wall clock. “Uhm I don't really have a uhm..”, I raised a brow when I heard him stuttering.“You don't have a what?”, I asked and went to the kitchen. He followed me there.“Ma'am, Can I stay here? I didn't bought a house.”, he said as he slightly scratched the back of his neck. I sighed in disbelief. “Where will you sleep, then? In my room? Hell no!”, I exclaimed and opened the fridge. “U-uhm… I can sleep there. If it's okay?”, he asked while pointing at the sofa. I got a box of fresh milk and nod
Alyia's POV. “What is wrong with you?!”Based on the tone of my voice, I'm really irritated. Irritated of this guy in front of me. “Did I know that it's going to be flown by the wind? I'm not the God of the Wind, ma'am for you to be informed. So, it's practically not my fault.”And what the heck is with his wide smile? Is he that happy that we're soaking wet right now? That there's a possibility that I'll get a fever because of him?! “If I catch a fever, you're fired! Argh! You're making me more irritated because of your freaking face!”, I shouted with full of irritation in the tone of my voice again. “I’m not responsible if you'll catch fever, ma'am. Am I the one that went to the cemetery alone and didn't bring any umbrella? It's your idea to get wet under the rain, not mine.”, he said once again and raised both of his hands as a sign of surrender."Argh! You are so irritating! Why would you do that gesture at me when your umbrella isn't that good. It is really dense enough for t
Alyia's POV. I rolled again around my bed for the nth time. What he said made me thinking and I don't know why.It's getting late but I can't sleep because of what he said. Darn. After hours of rolling around my bed, I decided to stand up and get a bottle of milk. This should really help make me sleep, I said to myself. I passed by the dining area.Taking steps to the kitchen, I saw Cosmos' sleeping face. Pulling strands of my hair because what he said earlier. It really went inside me. Argh! He's so annoying! The moment I got what I was supposed to get, I quickly ran to my room. Hours after, I already fallen asleep. * * * "Good morning, madam! It's monday! You should get going."My eyes were half-closed when I heard Debbie's voice. She woke me up by calling me this early. I turned my gaze to the clock on my phone and saw that it is just 8:40 am. So early. "What? So early, Debbie. I didn't get enough sleep last night, you know.", I said with a sleepy voice. "Oh my! You forg
Alyia's POV. "You have three meetings to attend later, madame. Also, you have to visit the site. Remember the resort that's soon to rise? You have to visit it personally. As the board wishes.", Debbie said while holding her folder that states all of my schedule. "Okay. You may go out.", I commanded her.After a few seconds, I heard a closing of the door. "Good morning, Cole.", it's Debbie's voice from outside. "Here's the steak, ma'am. And also, there's rice. I know that you haven't eaten yet. So, sorry if you woke up and didn't found me by your side. I just bought you breakfast."There comes his annoying face with a smirk again. Last night, he was acting like somebody else. Not like this. A weirdo. That's Cosmos for you. "It's okay and besides, I thought this day would be so peaceful but when I saw your face, I realized that bad days really exists.", I said as I get the food from his hand.Tapping his shoulder, I smirked. Now, it was him who rolled his eyes. I stared at him, a
Alyia's POV. I woke up because I felt something banging my head. "Aww.", I said and felt pain so I caressed my head. "Ma'am, are you okay?" My eyes are closed because of the pain I am enduring now. The person who asked me handed me a glass of water and I immediately drank from it. "Thank you.", I said after drinking that lessen the pain that I was feeling. "That is a first."When I recognized his voice, I rolled my eyes. There he goes again. "Will you please shut up? Where's my clothes? I have so many things to review and sign.", I said and tried to stand up but I can't. It felt like my body is so heavy. I can't even move as fast as I can. When I tried to stand up, I feel like my sight was moving in a circular motion. "I feel dizzy.", I uttered while massaging gently the sides of head. "That's because you're stubborn."I gave him a death glare when he said that. "I am not!", I shouted and tried to stand up again but I felt dizzy again. Before anything happens, Cosmos' arms
Alyia's POV."These clothes aren't matched for what I will do today! For God's sake, Cosmos?! A cocktail dress? High heels? I have so many tapings and shoots that I have to attend to and you'll tell me that you bought these?", I said as I massage my head because these clothes in front of me is giving me a headache. "I just pulled anything that I laid my eyes on your closet, ma'am.", Cosmos said while bowing his head. "Well, you better go back at the condo and bring clothes that's more comfortable. Please, I'll be late for my shoot.", I said without glancing at him. I feel sorry for him. His only dury is to guard me. Make sure that I'm safe but here I am, letting him do the tasks that my personal assistant must do. Sorry, Cosmos. "Ma'am?"I turned around and saw Debbie holding a folder. "Yes, Debbie?""You just have to sign these, ma'am. Cosmos already reviewed these. All you need to do is sign it. Cosmos stayed up overnight just to finish these, ma'am.", she said while handing me
