Married To A Ruthless Superstar

Chapter 2

Tabita's Point Of View

I thought the meeting was about to end but lunch had already passed but sir Ryan was still speaking at the front. I looked at Rika as she approached me.

"What?" I was annoyed because I wanted to go home earlier but this bullshit meeting still has not yet ended.

She laughed softly before handing me a sandwich, my annoyance quickly disappeared when I saw that. This is my favorite sandwich.

"Thank you," I whispered. I bit into the sandwich before looking at sir Ryan again. Why doesn't he want to direct what he wants to say? He made it even longer, he didn't want to be straight to the point.

We also talked about making a movie and the shooting will start immediately next next week. I still have a lot of interviews and commercials to attend this week.

Just thinking about that made me feel tired.

"Okay, that's all. Dismissed."

When sir Ryan said that, I immediately stood up and Rika quickly followed me. I left the conference room first and went straight to the parking lot.

But the lights of the cameras and the reporters immediately welcome me. My guards quickly surrounded me and they addressed the media.

"Miss Tabita!"

"You're so gorgeous as always!"

"Can you do an interview?"

"Are you working on another movie with Kenzo?"

"Where have you been lately?"

"How's your love life? Is Kenzo already courting you?"

"Hello, we're modeling agency."

I heard many more questions but I didn't answer a single one because I kept walking while bowing and Rika covered me in front, while my guards surrounded us and prevented the media from getting close to me.

Fuck this life.

I screamed when I felt a hand pull my arm, the grip was very tight. We stopped walking because of that, the guard immediately approached the man who pulled my arm, the manquickly let go of my arm when the guards pulled him away from me.

I looked at my arm and it was so so so red. Damnit.

"Let's go, Tabi!" Rika yelled so I couldn't think anymore and we quickly walked again until we got into the van and Rika quickly drove it.

I leaned against the window as it drove away from the parking lot. I'm still not yet recovered from what happened, I can feel my hands shaking because of what happened. Damn, I'm traumatized.

"My arm hurts!" I shouted while looking at my arm with a nail mark, it was also wounded and bleeding. "It's bleeding, Rika!" I added.

Rika's worried face looked at me. "We'll take care of that, shall we go straight to your house?"

"Yes please. Hurry!"

She threw me a handkerchief and I immediately covered it to my wound. That's what I did until we got home. I was even surprised because the light was on but I just ignored it.

I quickly got down while Rika followed me. I opened the door and saw Khairo sitting on the sofa while reading something, he looked at me seriously and his eyes fell on my arm. His forehead quickly frowned.

"Where can I treat you, Tabi?" Rika asked from behind me.

"Just in my room," I answered without looking at her, I started walking to my room.

Khairo's face was still serious when we passed him in the living room. When I got to my room, I immediately sat on the bed. Rika immediately came to me and washed my wound, then she put alcohol on it and cleaned it.

When she put the band aid on she let out a loud breath. "I don't know why the media found out you were there on the network."

I nodded and smiled a little. "That's fine, they always know. It's not new, Rika. It's not like it happened to me for the first time."

"But even then, it's a different story when you're physically hurt by them."

"This s**t will heal soon," I said and pointed to the wound.

She laughed and sat next to me. "You really have to be careful next time."

"We're always careful, Rika. That's just the way the media and the paparazzi are."

She nodded in agreement.

"Khairo is miraculously here, what's happening?" she said while laughing.

I also laughed softly because of what she said, a miracle happened.

"I don't know, I don't want to ask questions because he might suddenly get angry. I really can't understand that man's behavior," I said.

"I have a question, Tabi."

I look at her. "Spill."

"If you weren't married right now and you were to choose the man you would marry, who would it be?" she asked and I frowned.

"What?" I laughed.

She said. "Just answer me."

"If I am not married and I'm choosing who will I marry?" I said. "The one I will marry is Khairo. I'm ready to marry him a million times even if it meant that I would also be hurt a million times," I added.

Rika smiled at my answer. "If he also has feelings for you, I think your relationship will work."

"But he doesn't love me," I laughed softly. "I'm not sure if he likes someone. Besides, if he does like someone, I hope it would be Monica."

"Won't you be hurt?"

"Of course I will get hurt but I already know Monica, she is beautiful, smart and very kind. For sure she will take good care of Khairo."

It's true, I've been with Monica at a party once and I noticed she's really nice, in front of the camera or not. Who you see on camera is who she is in real life.

So it is not impossible for Khairo to like her.

"What about you? That's just the way you are? What about your own happiness, Tabi?"

"I'm happy, with the job I have right—"

"You're not happy anymore, Tabi."

"I'm still happy, Rika. I'm just tired. And being tired is normal."

She didn't say a word again and when she went home at night, I went down from my room to eat dinner. I'm hungry.

I turned on the kitchen light and was surprised to see Khairo at the mini bar we have here, he was sitting at the counter and holding a bottle of wine. There is also a piece of paper next to him, maybe that is his script.

I looked away and looked for something to eat in the fridge. When I got what I was looking for, I immediately closed the refrigerator door. I was about to walk but he stopped me when he spoke.

"What happened to your arm?" I can feel the drunkenness in his voice.

He's drunk so he's talking to me, I remind to myself.

"A man pulled my arm." I don't know how to explain.

He faced me and our eyes met, I could see the tiredness and desire to sleep in his eyes.

"Who's that guy?"

"I actually don't know him. . . when we got to the parking lot, the media is there. And the trouble started."

I saw him frown. "What are your guards for? Why did they let you get hurt? You should fire them."

I hesitated. "It's okay, my wound is not bad."

"Are you going to wait until you get hurt badly?"

"Of course not, but it's not my guards' fault."

"That's their fault too, that's their job. They're going to protect you," he said emphatically, I could feel the annoyance in his tone.

"Why are you upset about that?" I asked annoyed while ignoring the speed of my heart. He's just drunk that's why he's like that.

He ignored me and didn't say a word, I also ignored him and left. I don't know if he was worried or what.

I can't really understand him. . . There are times when I feel like he worries about me, like right now. But there are also times when I feel that he is angry with me. Sometimes he yells at me, I can't even think of a reason why he would be angry with me.

The next day, Rika immediately picked me up for my commercial pictorial with Kenzo. This commercial should have finished a long time ago but there are many things to insert that are more important in my schedule so it is always rescheduled.

"I don't want what happened yesterday to happen again," Rika said while driving.

"It's like you're not used to it, I'm in showbiz. Things like that will always happen. Maybe next time it'll be worse," I said calmly.

"Aren't you even worried about your condition?"

"Of course I'm worried but I knew that before I entered showbiz, I've accepted that starting to be an actress my safety will always be a risk and things like this will happen."

Shw didn't say a word until we reached our destination. I saw a lot of people doing something, someone was fixing the camera, lighting and so on. I immediately went straight to the dressing room and my stylist fixed me right away. My commercial will be a clothing line. The theme is formal wear, so I will be wearing outfits and suits that are fresh out of the brand.

"I heard what happened to you yesterday, are you sure you're okay?" Kenzo asked me.

"Yeah, I'm fine. It's normal that things like that happen," I answered.

"But still you should be more careful next time."

"I will, thank you."

When it started, I just followed what the director said. I'm dying to smile but he still can't get the shots he wants.

"More shots!"

I secretly held my breath and quickly heard Kwnzo's soft laugh. I smiled again at the camera and positioned my body. Kenzo was behind me.

We finished a few sets before we were allowed to rest. I immediately entered the tent and quickly leaned my back on the chair.

It was tiring as usual.

Rika handed me a bottle of water. "Are you hungry?"

"No, I'm sleepy."

"This will be over soon."

"It's almost night, Rika. It's been shooting almost all day," I said. "My feet hurt."

"Firri just told me that you still have a required party to go to."

"What?" I said quickly, I even got up from sitting and looked at her. "Can I not come?"

"That's required, Tabi."

I sighed in tiredness. Why should I complain if I know that we really have to go to that party?

Our break ended when we were called for another set. Kenzo and I have known each other for a long time so we are comfortable with each other doing what the director wants us to do. I also trust Kenzo but that's not enough for me to tell or let him know that I'm married.

"Okay, we're done!"

The director shouted after we did the last set. He's smiling and clapping, but I'm not happy because we still have a party to go to.

"Looks like you don't even want to go to the party," Kenzo said with a laugh.

"Yeah. . . you know I like parties but I'm exhausted right now and we can't say no."

After getting ready again, we went to the party, it was 10 pm when we arrived. Kenzo and I entered the entrance together and many artists greeted us.

"What is this party for?" I whispered to Kenzo who was right next to me and sitting like me.

"Celebration party for the newly released clothes," he answered before taking a drink of wine.

I was surprised when Rika suddenly came to our table and she smiled at me before looking at Kenzo.

"I'll borrow Tabi for a while, huh? She'll be yours later," she said to Kenzo. Kenzo immediately laughed before signaling yes.

Rika immediately pulled me and I just let her even though I was confused, I wish she would just run away me from the party.

"What is it?" I ask. We are far from people who was having fun.

"Khairo is here with Monica."

Even though it was a whisper, I still heard it even though the music was so loud.

I looked around and saw Khairo holding a wine and wearing a black suit. Next to him was Monica wearing a red cocktail that suited her. They are both talking and look so happy.

They really look like a couple, no wonder why many people admire their love team. They look good together.
