Chapter 13: The Real Emily?

While Emily was still boiling with anger about what had happened, she was dragged by Dave to the First Star. She wouldn't have gone if it had been someone else, but it was Dave's birthday, so she tried to put the Thornes out of her mind.Dave was still a party king and it was clear that he was also a regular at First Star. There were many people, and almost all of them knew each other given the exclusivity of First Star's members.After dinner, Emily began to prepare for the party. Not a partygoer, her clothes were expensive, but not fabulous. She was wearing a black blouse with a slim, striped suit. She wore a pair of seven-centimetre high heels under her black trousers. She looked every inch a professional and less the celebrant's friend. Dave was going to be incensed, she chuckled.Inside the club, Emily removed

Chapter: 14 Hunter... and Emily?

The loud noise from inside the First Star club had reached Hunter before he could enter it. He hated clubs because of the atmosphere, but he hated the noise the most, and the din inside the club was exactly what contaminated his ears.Pete, who had dragged Hunter along, just wanted to see what the well-known Summer Band could do and wait for Hunter to see the amazing change of his ex-wife on the stage.In the beginning, Emily's friend, brimming with confidence, had said something excitedly. Pete snorted thinking,“Bro, you have normal features, maybe you're a little good-looking, but what's with the shameless attitude on stage?”No sooner had the stage opened than Pete was made to eat his own words! Maybe he had been a little quick to judge the guy, because from what he was seeing and listening to, the boy had talent!He used to be a hot-blooded youth, and though he was old now - no, mature - it did not mean that he'd had no dreams when he was young.The four people on the stage were

Chapter 15: How do I let go?

FLASHBACKLooking at Emily's back, Veronica was so angry that she wanted to catch up with her, but she was stopped by Hunter.She turned to look at Hunter. "Brother?"Hunter looked at her with eyes so cold she was scared. "Don't mess with her."Veronica wanted to argue, but when she looked up and saw Hunter's eyes, she froze for a moment and then frowned. Why would Hunter be defending his ex over his own sister? "She was the one who hit me..."Hunter loosened his grip and raised his head to look at Emily, who was already at the door. He frowned slightly. In just three months, she had become a rebel. And he didn't know why, but this Emily was fascinating. Emily on the other hand, kept moving forward until she got in the car. She didn't even look back at the person behind her. As Pete said, it was not worth it.Dave, who had come to pick Emily up at the dinner glanced at her when she entered the car and remained quiet. After getting into the car, Emily did not say a word. Instead, she t

Chapter 16: Star!

In just five minutes, the audience was already at a climax. After the performance, there were still people shouting "Encore!" and calls for more resounded. The bandmates who were about to step down looked at each other, and finally, their eyes fell on Emily's face. Emily smiled, knowing why they were looking at her. "Why not?"She went back to the drum stand, picked up her drumsticks, and for another twenty minutes, the band entertained the club, giving it their best. It was only after 20 minutes that the four of them came down from the stage. They had never been so passionate in the past ten years. Dave was still unsatisfied. "At this stage, I think we can form a band and make a debut. That was brilliant!" Emily took the warm water from Colin's hand and glanced at Dave. "You won't say that when we do debut." With Dave, one couldn't deny that she was into music and bass guitar. However, should they really debut and were straitja
