CHAPTER 4: DOOMED
1290 Words
Yiwen's eyes and mouth cooperate as they are forced to open agape. To ensure she's not daydreaming, she forces air out of her mouth and feels it with her hand.
"It is finished," she mumbles.
Once again, tears begin to cloud her eyes as they roll down freely without her permission as she stares at the reporters, taking pictures and videos of her. She then turns her gaze towards the crowd and glares at people either laughing or showing hints of sympathy, most of which is fake.
Knowing better, she cleans her tears with her hands as she assures herself that she's finally doomed.
She's finally going to be laughed at by many.
She's finally going to be the talk of the town and the latest news on the headlines for goodness damn sake!!
The more she tries leaving the scene, the more pictures of her are being taken.
At Bangkok Airport,
As Alexander Ryan Caves exits his private jet, multiples of people gather around to take pictures and videos of him, while those with just little shame admire him from afar.
All these are happening not because they know or have an idea of who he is, I mean his identity but as a result of his fact that his facial characteristics and the aura he dispenses is just so overwhelming.
"He's so cute," a lady amongst the crowd yells in excitement as others follow suit.
"Just look at his hair."
"I love you, Mr handsome, we could get married."
"I promise you that our children would be so cute."
"Mr handsome I'm very much single."
"I can be your mistress."
"We could have children together."
"Look at me,"
On and on, ladies and women continue yelling to Alexander's frustration.
For goodness sake, this isn't what he planned. His plan was to enter this city on a low key. He doesn't want his family to be aware of his arrival, not to talk of the media.
Turning to his right hand man and his personal assistant, "Send them away and make sure my arrival here doesn't get out not to talk of making the headlines unless you're both ready to lose your lives", he instructs and instantly, his guards take actions by forcing people to delete the pictures and videos with a threat to come after whoever dares to post any picture or video of his arrival online. Knowing that this isn't just a threat but a promise, most people delete his pictures and videos in disappointment, while only a few of the stubborn ones leave about two of his pictures to feed their eyes only.
Within three minutes, the place becomes free again, and then Alexander gets into his awaiting Hyundai loniq 5 car, and his driver drives him to town.
"Young master, we booked one of the best hotels in town. It's so luxurious, and I hope it matches your taste, "Rosh, his right-hand man informs as the driver drives them towards town.
"Hmm," Alexander sighs in response.
"Yiwen, have you begun selling your body on the street, a body that was once admired by most men?"This rings out loudly inside the car.
"Yiwen?"Alexander mumbles with a frown.
"What's going on outside there?"Alexander asks as he raises his eyes from the magazine he is reading and turns his gaze outside through the tinted glass.
"Probably street fights and all," the driver replies.
"Yiwen," Alexander mutters again to the surprise and confusion of his guard, personal assistant, and right-hand man in the car.
"Stop the car," Alexander suddenly yells thunderously, causing the people in the car to shiver in fear.
"Young master," his driver manages to whisper in confusion.
"Are you deaf, I said stop this f*****g car", Alexander yells authoritatively sending groove pimples down the driver's spine.
Instantly, the driver brings the car to a halt and Alexander stares outside as he winds down the tinted glass of his car while observing the scene outside.
"Rosh", Alexander calls out.
"Young master ", Rosh replies bowing in response.
"Find out what's happening out there and do the necessary", Alexander orders and winds up the glass of his car to avoid attracting the attention of people, mostly women, as his experience at the airport had thought him just how shameless women can be.
"Yes boss", Rosh responds as he opens the door of the car and steps out of it.
Meanwhile,
"Ma'am, can you tell us why you decided to sleep on the street?", a reporter asks.
"Miss Yiwen, you were once a model, now are you suddenly homeless?", another reporter asks.
"Yiwen have you begun selling your body on the streets, a body that was once admired by most men?", another reporter fires at her making a tear fall down from her eyes and getting her more weak as seconds passes.
The more questions are fired, the more embarrassed she gets and the more she wishes she can just disappear.
How would she tell the world her problems?
How could she possibly tell them she has a well furnished apartment?
How would she tell the world she was so stupid to take an insomnia d**g that made her sleep on the streets?
All these, she wonders as the crowd multiplies, having attracted more passers-by.
Suddenly, she notices a car parked by the side of the road and then a man approaches her.
"It's the same man, it's the same car", Yiwen yells in joy and happiness, confusing the crowd.
" Give her some space, she's getting short of breathe, you all should give way for air", one of the sympathizers among the crowd yells in concern.
As Rosh approaches, his appearance alone makes people give way for him while still wondering who he is to her.
"Right in time my good Samaritan", Yiwen utters smiling weakly at Rosh. After losing her balance, black out she goes.
On the other hand,
Xu Junxi in some kind of ways feels guilty upon seeing the video of Yiwen on the street. Although he must have contributed to her problems but on a second thought, she got what she deserved.. she wasn't faithful to him. Afterall, he already has Laura in his life and she appears to be some what submissve, so he indeed has nothing to lose. Picking up his phone, he types a long message that goes thus..
Hey Yiwen I guess I shouldn't bother asking how you are faring because I know you're pretty good without me. At least you now have rich and handsome men to make you feel alright. I'm so surprised after you joined the entertainment industry, you became so foolish, stupid, selfish and arogant. You gave me every reason to doubt my love for you. As you now now I've found someone so caring and beautiful and to think she also works in the entertainment industry but isn't as corrupt as you are. I've transferred some money into you account, just your exact worth in my life. Take it and let me be as free as air Yiwen. I wanna live without you, breathe without you and enjoy life without you. Please don't be a threat to me and my love, Laura.
In conclusion, please be quick to return my turquoise ring to me, it's meant for the love of my life ... not you. Finally, have a lovely life ahead of you and a new beginning without me. You can as well keep up the dirty works if you care to.
Xu Junxi
Your ex
After typing the message, he takes a deep long breath and clicks on the blue button and off, the massage goes. To his greatest surprise, bids of tears falls his eyes but can he really help it... HELL NO
