It’s… it’s not what you think,” Alex stammered, his tongue feeling heavy, his words failing him.

He didn’t know how to defend himself. Yes, his line of business required him to carry a gun wherever he went. It was necessary. Every man in that world had to protect himself.

To people outside, he was just a billionaire flashy, untouchable, extreme. But behind the money came sacrifices. Responsibilities. Danger. And a gun was the only thing standing between him and that danger.

How was he supposed to explain that to them? That there wasn’t a day he walked out without one? That it wasn’t for violence, but for survival? That he need it to survive, that he met no harm ..

“It’s not what you think, Madam. Please… let me explain.”

But it was all in vain. Even Mommy Grace had started to step back, one step at a time, leaning on her cane as she shifted closer to Mommy Choice.

“Alex, you want to explain what?” Mommy Choice snapped. “ Alex, what are you doing with a gun? So now you carry a gun everywhere you go? I knew it , I knew you came for something my son life was not enough for you Alex maradona what have we done to offend you? Huh speak Alex!! Or what? Your tongue is tied huh?

“Mommy Choice, listen. Alex said trying to reach out to mummy grace , but it some a mistake in his part as mummy grace became distant

He sighed “I’m no longer the Alex I used to be. I’ve grown. I’ve involved myself in… in business. And this gun is needed for protection.”

“Protection?” Mommy Choice’s voice rose, sharp and bitter.

“Alex, protection? Alex did I just hear you say protection ? Is this not the same reason why you ran out of home? Because of a gun? And now you carry one yourself?

You’re becoming just like your family! Why did you come into our life when you knew you were going to go back to your family? Alex, do you now have a gun? Alex, get out of my house!”

“Ma’am, please… just listen to me”

“Get out!”

“Ma’am, please let me explain”

“Get out of my house, Alex! Now!”

"madam..I...

"get out!!!!"

"mummy choice pls liste.. "

"leave"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Alex froze, staring at Mommy Grace.

“Mom… did you give him the letter? Choice half yelled

Yes, I did.” Mummy grace said dejected

“Take it from him,

Choice!!!!!

Take the letter from him mum !”

“Choice, listen!” Mommy Grace’s voice cracked. “We can’t do this! This letter was meant for Alex. It was given to me, and I have the right to give it to him. Yes,

I don’t know why he came here today with a gun, but that will not stop me from giving him the letter. The letter belongs to him. Whatever I know, there are some letters with you too. If you don’t want to give it to him, fine. But I will give him mine.”

“Alex, now leave our house,” Mommy Grace said, siding with Choice.

  • The Girl He Wasn’t Supposed to Want    Did you kiss him?

    Are you coming in or not, Alex asked, or do you want them to eat you alive? Emma looked over her shoulder and saw that people were already looking around again, waiting. She was tired. She was scared. She needed to get in. If not, she would be in great soup. So she had no choice but to get into Alex's car. The car shut behind her. The car was too big, too expensive for someone like her. Leather, clean, something cold she couldn’t name. Emma sat at the back seat. Alex was still in the front seat. He didn’t say anything to her. He didn’t even look at her. He just ignored her like he was not the one who told her to get in the car just now. Thomas was in the front seat. She knew him to be the driver, but she’d never really spoken to him before. So she sat there feeling lost. Then Alex got out of the front seat suddenly and slid into the back seat with her. The moment he sat down, something closed. A panel slid up between the back seat and the front seat. She was surprised. So ca

  • The Girl He Wasn’t Supposed to Want    Again she was saved

    The premiere was supposed to be over but the camera was still rolling. Dancers were still dancing like nothing happened, although it was obviously a false smile. But every girl had their phone up, replaying the video of Emma and Benji kissing. They couldn't believe that Benji could still somehow kiss a girl like Emma. Maya on the other hand was panicking in her seat. She knew it was her fault. She knew it was the live she did in the car earlier when they were coming in. That panic was evident. And Jonathan was already tired of calming her down . Come on G, calm down. It's not your fault. You didn't know. No, Maya said, panicking. It's my fault. If I hadn't been so clumsy, if I hadn't gone in with my phone live, none of this would have happened. Emma wouldn't be in this state right now. She gripped his hand tightly. Jonathan put his hand over hers and rubbed his thumb over her knuckles, Calm down. It's okay. Remember, the camera is still on us. We need this. We need to make thi

    Emma was pressed against the wall behind the green room door. Both hands over her face. Shoulders shaking from crying so hard. “I never kissed Benji… I never… it’s all fake…” She whispered it over and over. Like a prayer. Like if she said it enough, it would become true. She hadn’t even watched the video yet. But she knew. It wasn’t her. It could never be her. Then heard footsteps. Coming her way She flinched. At first she thought it was fans. She’d watched enough k- drama and Hollywood to know. Some fans would chase an actor’s co star just to tear them apart. yes they’re that obsessed Every step made her shrink harder into the wall. as if it could shied her But the closer the person got… the more she recognized it. that perfume. She’d know that perfume anywhere. It belongs to benji the door flew open. revealing him He came in fast, like he’d run all the way here just to find her. His shirt was damp, hair wild. He pulled her into his arms wit

    Emma stepped forward to the podium. For the first two seconds, no one said anything. Not even the reporters. All you heard was cameras clicking. Then the questions started. Miss Emma Stanford. Just from the sound of your voice… you sound happy to be here. So tell us how happy are you to be a member of Sunwave?” Emma swallowed. “I’m happy to be a member of Sunwave. I wasn’t expecting this. Anyone who knows me knows how little I think of myself. I don’t really see myself as someone who could do things like this. But I was pushed by my best friends. I’m hoping to grow into this place.” “Good,” another reporter cut in. “Speaking of background… we found out you’re not exactly from a privileged family. You live in Cebu. I heard you’re poor. And yet you got into Columbia. How did you do that?” Emma’s jaw tightened. “It was on scholarship. I don’t mean to make it a big deal, but yes. I’m a scholarship student. And I’m proud to say it here.” She said with annoyance clear

    He used his mouth to catch the piece of noodle stuck near the corner of her lip. Emma froze. Because she remembered. He used to do this in high school. Anytime something was on her mouth, he’d lean in just to embarrass her in public. So she’d stop being clumsy. “Oh,” she breathed. “You still remember this? I thought, now that you’re a celebrity, you’d forget it.” Benji laughed, pulling back into his seat like it was nothing. “Come on. Of course I remember. I used to do that in high school. Being a celebrity doesn’t mean I have memory loss.” But his hands on the steering wheel said otherwise. They were tighter on the steering wheel. He hated this feeling. His chest felt it. A pull. A taste he didn’t want to name. He wanted to linger on her lip, stay a bit longer. But it was Emma. His little girl from high school. In high school, the kiss meant nothing. Right now? It.. it just .. It did. “You know what,” Emma suddenly said . Almost a whisper. “If anyone saw us jus

    That will not happen. I’m not showing much of myself. It’s just my voice. That’s all,” Emma cut in again. “That’s where you’re wrong, Emma. One day you’ll have to face the press. How will you do that? You’re still working on your self-esteem.” “I’m working on it, Clara. I can’t believe you’re saying this to me. I’m just a singer. I’m not an actress. I’m not some celebrity living on social media. All they need is my voice.” “Emma, a day will come when you’ll have to show your face. You will. People will be dying to meet you. You can’t hide behind audio forever.” Emma blinked at the dark ceiling. That wasn’t what she expected from Clara. If it was Maya, Maya would be screaming, hyping her up, pushing her onstage right now. But Clara… Clara was just quiet. “Forget I said that,” Clara said quickly. “You’re okay. You’re fine. I’m just worried about you. That’s all.” Emma’s throat was tight. “I have to go. I need to start arranging things for the premiere tom

    Emma jumped. Jessica was sitting up on her bunk, curtain half-pulled back, watching her.“Jessica?” Emma whispered. “I didn’t hear you wake up.”Jessica’s eyes flicked over Emma’s outfit. “That hoodie isn’t doing you any favors. It makes you look bigger than you are.”Emma’s face flushed. “I know.

    Tears welled up in Emma’s eyes before she could stop them, hot and humiliating. “Let me be,” she whispered, her voice shaking so badly the words almost broke. “I know I’m ugly. I know I’m not good enough for Alex. I’m not even trying. I don’t even like him. Can’t you just leave me alone?”Rebecca

    Emma’s shoulders tensed. “Clara… I have to go.”“Why? Why are you in such a hurry to go?” Clara’s voice rose. “Emma, don’t you dare cut this call.”“I have to go. My roommate’s coming.”“So what? Let them come. Introduce me to your roommate.”“You don’t understand, Clara. ”“Introduce me. Are you a

    " good I'm glad you get it " Clara said with a concern face "Let’s change the topic. Who’s this Romeo guy? You said he’s bothering you?”Emma’s expression changed instantly. The light dimmed. “I don’t know. He’s just another guy. He keeps following me after class. I don’t like him.”Clara caught it
