Chapter 2

📍King Cephus📍

I was feeling delightful when I received the award. Good Lord my fans are.... what's the best way to describe them.

I couldn't get into the car in peace even after I have taken my time to take pictures with some.

If I continue with them like this then I'm gonna end up sick so I allowed the security to help me get into the car as we drove out of the location.

I felt relieved as I was able to breathe and rested my head on the sit pillow.

"That was so great Honey, you did really well,Tessy said as she raised the trophy in her hands

"finally the haters will bow cos there's no doubt that you are the best right now,she added

"From the start,I was nothing compared to them, it was obvious,I replied calmly closing my eyes inorder to rest my head

"At least we reached the top already,it was really not easy to get here you know so I'm really glad,she continues

"Not yet, I'm not satisfied yet,I said and she looked back at me

"till I become the absolute best when none of them can ever go against me or compete with me,I said

"It's forever competition dear but for now no one can dear go against you cos you have been awarded the best almost thrice now it feels good to me anyway,she said laughing

Tessy she's my aunt and also my manager. She controls all the shit involved in my work,it was her from the beginning,she was just to passionate about making me the absolute best.

I love her so much and there's no one who dare replace her cos she has sacrifice alot for me ensuring my reputation is going perfectly.

"Those fans of yours are quite useful they just want you to always have their time so we should hurry and produce a new music cos it's surely gonna be a big hit, what do you think?,she asked

"Not now, for now my head is heavy and I can't just think of the type of music they will like,I replied

"You know they come first so we will surely make sure they're still following you that way you will also make more money,she said

"so what do you think is the best thing huh?, she asked facing me from the front

"Just let me be, I'm not interested in anything for now, I said and she hits me on the face with the trophy in her hands

"Owwwch, what's your problem,I said disgustingly checking out my face in the mirror.

In my life two major things are so important and I don't joke with them, that's my skin most especially my face and my outfit I don't like stains not on any of my expensive outfits.

"When I talk you don't say no okay?, you can still manage to say you will think about it or else,she said raising the trophy to hit my face again

"Alright alright,I will just do what you want but not now okay?, I answered

"I'm not pressuring you for now at least you will still enjoy today,she said as she sits comfortably.

We're almost home now and we can for see what's going on already.

"I think you won't enter that place in peace today, Tessy said noticing the crowd in front of the house.

"It's none of my business,you should take of them, I said and she scoffed

"As if I was the one they wanna meet,she said wearing her jacket

there's no way for the car to pass cos they have really blocked, it those reporters they are something else.

Immediately they saw the car they all rushed to it shouting,a lot of celebrity enjoys this but me it irritates me.

The Securities are already out and was already making them stay far from the car so they opened it for me to come out.

"You're looking great King, one of them said rushing to me and I just smiled

"Tell us how are you feeling now after you are announced the best male artists, another said

"You know your fans have increased alot within this two hours, don't you have anything to say to them, another said

"Tell us King, when should we expect your new album, another asked and they kept rambling.

I don't even know who to reply they are just too many and I'm already feeling stuffy if I stay a little longer with them I might faint.

"It's okay everyone, let's gather here, I heard Tessy speak from the back and almost all of them rushed to her immediately.

Good Lord she's gonna handle it so I quickly allowed the Securities to help me into the house.

Those people they did not allow the car to go in, life of a celebrity is not that easy with this kind of problems,I thought as I entered into the house and switched on the light.

"Woooo,I heard people shouts as they pour flowers on me, who's celebrating birthday?, I thought

I was not expecting them to keep themselves in the dark,here are my music partners almost ten of them including Kristen and Melissa.

Kristen came jumping on me as she gave me a rose

"you look awesome on TV king,she said and I carried her in my arms swaying her around.

"Thanks sweetheart,how was your day, I said

Kristen is my cousin, the baby sis, she's Tessy only child. Tessy is a single mom she got pregnant for a motherfucker who claimed to love her and after everything doomed her.

It's been six years now that I have been nursing this stubborn child who's extremely pretty like her mom.

I dropped Kristen and the others came hugging me one after the other

"so happy for you brother,we finally make it to the top, they all said giving me roses. After they've all hug me now it's my turn to show them I'm thankful

I show them what they want as I enloped Melissa in a tight hug and kissed her deeply.

We're partners, Melissa is my childhood friend. She's also a celebrity and the only person rumored to be my lover.

The rumors was wrong cos all we do was to put on the show when people are present, she's a very good actress she's a pro at that.

"Please, please get a room,I heard someone say and we turned

"Mummy!, Kristen shouts as she went to embrace Tessy.

"Oh my princess,I missed you,she said carrying her

" hi Melissa, she said coming towards us and Melissa hugged her.

"I'm doing alright ma'am, Melissa replied

"Good to hear, alright everyone thanks for the cooperation. We gonna celebrate this better not today so just enjoy yourselves for now okay?, Tessy said and they all merry.

I was not going to stay here anylonger so I just held Melissa hands and make her follow me to my room.

"When did you returned,I was not expecting you to arrive too soon,I said sitting on the bed as I held unto her waist.

"I came for you babe,she said sitting on my lap as she looses my tie.

"wanna take a shower first?,she asked and I nodded

Honestly, I missed her. She left the country for months now and there was no one distracting me. She's a real trouble maker and was the funny type.

Staying so close to her like this make me feel good and I just like her around. Her body scent is just too captivating and that pretty face is always having a sincere smile.

"Close your eyes,she said and I gave her questioning look but she just plead and I did.

She stood to do something and she said

"You can open up now,she said showing me what's in her hands

"this is for you,she said giving me something wrapped up and I just snatched it from her.

"I thought you were going to undress you know, I said and she laughed.

I was going to unwrap it when she stopped me " what?, I asked

"I think you should do that when I leave,she said

"King,she called softly and I looked at her

"What is it? Wanna tell me something?, I asked with my brows up.

"That....is...my.. last gi..ft to you, she stuttered

"What?,the last?,why?, I asked curiously

She sighed and raised her hand showing her fingers which a shiny diamond ring was placed beautifully.

"What's that?, I spatted.

"A ring of course,she laughed.

"I'm moving on King for the better life, she said. "I don't think I can continue to wait for you trusting you will love me one day, I'm tired of waiting King,she said tearfully.

We were dating,yeah I was dating her but love wasn't part of it. We signed a contract which she agreed because she wants me. I signed the contract with her just for my sake so people won't see me as the playboy.

I don't do love,it disgust me so I played with her making everyone believe she's mine.

"I couldn't let go of the opportunity King, when he proposed I had to say yes even though I barely know him like I know you but I can't keep giving myself hope. It's been 8 years we've been in this relationship,I remember signing this contract when we were sixteen,she said calmly

"So?, I said even though I know she's acting tough.

"Let's break up,I believe in love and I hope you do someday,she said and bent to me on the bed

"king to be sincere,I still love you,I don't think someone can ever take your place in my heart,she said kissing me passionately

I'm I being too cruel? I don't think so but I just can't give her what she wants at this moment.

She was not stopping the kiss and it was getting hotter and deeper and she was already unbuttoning my shirt but I can't resist her so I played along as I helped her zipped down and I started doing wonders with her body till we both lose it.

Few minutes later...

She smiled as she came out of the shower and got dressed. I was still laying in the bed thinking about what just happened between us.

I don't feel anything for her but I am not the type to say no to s*x,I always grab my copy anytime I got the opportunity and I have my best friend in bed when she's engaged with another man,so naughty.

"I'll leave now,get your signature on those papers and you're invited to my wedding,she said placing the invitation card on the table

"I don't regret loving you King cos I don't lose for now,she said and carried her bag exiting the room.

I dugged my face in the pillow as I exhaled deeply don't know why but somehow I have a bad feelings towards this.

I gently rose from the bed going into the bathroom and in a few minutes I was done but I was shocked when I saw someone standing beside the bathroom door.

"You scared me!, I said using the towel to dry my hair

"What was that? Are you thinking at all?, Tessy said dragging my ear and I screamed

"Stop that!, what's the problem this time?, I asked

"So you just let her go, just like that? What exactly is your problem, did you know the consequences of what you just did?"

"Should I tie her down huh?, it's not like I'm going to satisfy her in any way,I said

She hits my head and I stumbled on the bed

"you fool,she yelled

"What!, Tessy stop this okay?, I replied

"We need to find a way out cos if she gets married before you, your reputation is at stake so..,she said

"So?, I asked

"Leave it to me, you better follow my orders or else? I will fry you raw,she said storming out of the room

"Crazy,I muttered putting on my pajamas
