I stirred my cup of coffee, glancing at the hoodied figure before me without a single care in the world.

She fiddled with her hands, clearly feeling anxious as her eyes darted around frantically. She parted her lips trying to say something but no words escaped.

"Why did you call me here?."

I picked up my cup, taking a small sip. We were at a diner, with people clustered around in their tables, making orders and having few discussions. It wasn't loud enough to drown out the sounds of our conversations, just muffles, more like a background sound.

"The event of last night has been fermenting on the internet for some time. Irina seems to be suffering some backlash." - She grinned, somewhat feeling pleased with herself as she toyed with her tea cup.

"Not for long...." - I cut off her next words, watching her haughty smile dissipate into nothingness.

" What?!" - She chuckled in disbelief, confusion flickering in her dark eyes.

I picked up my phone, making her face the bright screen.

    "Blackmail." She narrowed her eyes, "What did you just say?!" "Pfffftt!!" - I hunched over, hitting my knees as i laughed out loudly. Rachel stood by the side, throwing me a nasty look. "What's so funny about what I'd said?." - She hands on her waist, feeling slightly disappointed with my response. "I'm sorry *laugh*. I couldn't help it tho." - I heaved, taking deep breaths as i tried controlling my laughter. "Selene, you're acting strange." - She adjusted her glasses, taking a better look at me. "It almost feels like you're hiding something from me, which is absolutely unlike you." I calmed down a bit, listening to the seriousness in her breezy tone. She was right, i was really acting strange - that was undeniable. "And so are you?" - I threw the question back at her, watching as her face twisted into a playful scowl. "Now what the hell was that?" - She pulled open the doors to the meeting hall, her hips swinging beneath her skirt as she made way for me to come in. "At first

    The hall went into a silent uproar. Guests murmured, whispering their doubts into each other's ears whilst giving the puzzled and infuriated Irina a few side glances. Jason stood off, his eyes settled solely on the screen with a livid expression. Bright camera flashes filled the hall, reporters scrambling to get the best view of the situation. Each wanting a piece of the new gist - guests stepped aside, expressions varying from sheer disgust to perplexion." Turn it off!!. Turn this thing off right now!!." - Irina paced around anxiously, trying to figure things out admist the chaos.Picking up the hem of my dress, i walked up the small flight of stairs with a black box and a card in my hand. Feeling the heat of everyone's gaze, possibly wondering how i could just pop up in such a disastrous situation. Well, it wasn't like i was fated for the best scenarios."Jason, i can explain..... this..... this has got to be a sincere misunderstanding." - Irina approached Jason's dazed figure w

    Richard grabbed the stranger by the neck, his fine features twisted in a gory expression. His tall figure was shrouded in a dark, gloomy aura.The male stood there, his outstretched hand frozen in mid air. His knees trembled - a susceptible sign that showed fear. I leaned against the grand column, gritting my teeth. An unfamiliar heat burned within me - it was quaint but it kept on building up over time. "What are you still waiting for?!." - Richard's husky voice showed a hint of impatience, his brows furrowing in a deep knit."I'm sorry. I'm......so...... sorry." - The male stuttered, his sweaty hands trying to loosen up Richard's grip on his neck."You're sorry?." - Richard scoffed, revulsion reeling in his narrow eyes. "How about i snap your neck and apologize on your grave?. You wouldn't mind that now......... would you?"The stranger feeling terrified, collapsed to the floor. "Aish!!." - Richard cussed, wiping his hands soaked in sweat with a handkerchief. Tossing it to a near

    "So...... will you be attending?" His hands were all over the keyboard, his head deeply buried in what he was doing. I stared at him lazily, stretching as i sat on the desk. "Most definitely - it would be rude of me not to." He parted his lips, a soft 'Oh!' escaping them as he nodded his head in understanding. " Done."He turned the laptop so that the screen would be more visible to me. I gazed blankly at the more defined picture, and it was as i had previously suspected - a pregnancy report.Richard sighed, throwing his head backwards as he leaned into his seat. He had his arms folded, eyebrows raised as if asking 'what I needed the picture for ' , but even so, he never asked me about it directly."Don't look at me like that, this is a present for someone.".......................The banquet party was filled with extinguished guests, a few popular celebrities and business partners. The sound of glasses clinking filled the halls as people socialized, Richard stood behind me with

    "That slutty wench!!!" "Thanks." - I took the cup of steaming coffee from Rachel's hands, my lazy eyes settling on Marceline who was still buzy cussing herself out. "You're welcome." - Rachel sat beside me, examining Marceline's angry figure with a subtle smile tugging at the end of her lips. "Bennett, this is why you ought to have been at work - instead of lazying off to who knows where." Marceline paused, her wide eyes blinking, "Huh......" I curled my lips, kicking her in the foot. Naturally, I'd be surprised that she could actually forget about her pseudonym - but then again, this was Marceline. Clumsy and cluelessly forgetful. "Ouch!" - She winced, pouting regretfully. Rachel on the other hand had her eyes on the both of us, she must have felt that something was off but couldn't place her hands on what seemed wrong. Marceline chuckled wrily, "You think so?" Rachel sighed, nodding her head in agreement which made her permed brunette hair bounce. "But why would
